Texas vs. Michigan - 11am on Fox

[Newy25 7,916]

I rewatched the game, sober this time and this had to have been Hayden Connor and Jake Major’s best games as Longhorns. The two best interior linemen in college football got their butts kicked yesterday by our interior line. It was glorious to watch.

To be fair to Leinart, it went down to the last minute.
 

OTOH, in this game Texas was up 19 point at half and it wasn’t that close.

Leinart actually seems to be a pretty cool guy at this point. And going to the locker room with Bush was nice. And he knows now that Texas was the better team. But whether it went down to the last minute or not, he said what he said.

if you havent done a 180 on Leinart at this point..then youre just holding grudges. Yea he is cool, normal, and funny. probably my favorite college talking head out of all of the networks

I only remember hearing Mason Grahams name called twice. I'll have to go back and watch to make sure but the first time was in relation to him and Grant being gassed in the 2nd and Texas attacking their backups.

The 2nd was when Martindale in his infinite wisdom to try to create mismatches moved him outside. 

An All American DT got moved further away from the QB where he was across from..lemme check my notes...oh yeah Kelvin Fucking Banks. 

 

 

And then Sark proceeded to run the ball into the interior when they gave that look.

He was a step ahead of them all game.

His TikTok’s with his wife are hilarious. I also like that draft kings commercial where he’s replaying Texas and usc. 
 

He definitely leans into the self deprecating humor.

Yeah, Leinart had won two championships and a gazillion games in a row.  He couldn't believe they'd lost, because he hadn't thought it was possible, and he'd been right for a long time.

This slapnuts yesterday saw his team get blown off the field, in part because of his two turnovers and QBR under 50.  And he's like y'all didn't win, we beat ourselves.  No, dude.  Texas kicked the shit of you, and there wasn't anything you could've done to stop it, or you would've.  You lost by 19, and it woulda been worse without a garbage time score and a touchdown stolen from us.  Quit talking and try to go win more than 8 games so you don't get benched.

Yeah, no doubt. I think it was his Instagram (TikTok?) showing him in the Co-op, panning all the burnt orange gear and then doing a little head shake. Someone here told a story about running into him and his Dad and his Dad was just so proud of him. And the commercial where he beats Texas on NCAA.

He and Klatt are probably my two favorite guys to listen to right now.

You can really get a sense of how much orange there was in my vid of the eyes. It was a lot.

Agree.  I really enjoyed the Fox show with Klatt and Leinart side by side, talking about Vince and the 05 Horns, and just shaking their heads at how they couldn't beat 'em.  Klatt even mentioned his Buffs had to play Vince 3 times which didn't seem fair. 

Man looking back, the closest of those 3 games was the 31-7 Longhorn win in 2004...

More at AA than in South Bend a few years ago?  Impressive showing by Burnt Orange Nation. 

[Jkwellborn 7,033]

BTW, BIG shout out to Jake Majors. That dude is just irreplaceable right now. Calling the signs for the line in a packed house where you couldn't hear shit. Mad props to that beast. 
 
He's come a looooong way, ans it was worth it. Flood is a fucking magician. Just don't tell Connor Weigman until Nov so he can turn into a puddle of goo at Copperfield at work.

Did anyone here ever think this would be posted?

We left a lot of points on the table and slowed it down in second half. Could’ve been a lot worse

Don't eat your candy in the lobby. We've got ten more games in the regular season, and at least a couple are going to be against better teams than the Fightin' Weasels.

While that's gruntling, keep in mind they were overrating Meatchicken before, so... grain of salt and all that...

Yep.   MI is not a good team.   The buildup was what was impressive, but they are going to fall out fast as the season goes on.

The team had plenty of areas for improvement and still kicked their asses. There were at least three busted plays where Ewers and the RB weren't on the same page, the holding call (which wasn't holding), the false starts, the missed field goal. The defense had several near misses on sacks, some bad run fits, etc. In the past, we had little margin for error. That doesn't seem to be the case any longer.

The ESPN computers actually had Michigan lower than their top 10 AP ranking, they had the at 15. I'm not sure if that's too high or not yet, it's hard to tell how bad Michigan is considering Texas is rolling.

Odd to say but I can see some talent in Warren.

Some more perspective.  Colorado state with zero points against us scored 38 last night.   The secondary really is something else this year

That Michigan blogger told me last week that they had a million "dangermen" and we had like 2. Incredible that we managed to beat them with such a wild mismatch in talent.

That looked like a really good Texas team playing a mediocre to solid Kansas St or Iowa St type team.

I pissed out the remaining Kool Aid in my system, and I agree. On paper this feels like a great win, but I think it will be less so in November. This is not a good Michigan team.
