I'll be on the SWA one heading out at 9:45 tonight. Anyone else on the flight with me, if you use the password (you know what it is), I'll buy you a drink. 

We are on the same flight tonight.

Everyone does it now that it's become a meme.

I was wearing a Longhorns cap while I was in St Louis on a work trip about this time last year. Went out in the Ballpark District one night and some fresh out of college drunk kid throws me the horns down. I give a little chuckle and ask where he went to school. "Michigan St" "Ok.... Then why are you throwing me horns down? Why do you even care?" "Uh, isn't that just what everyone does now?"

This feels a lot like MSU game earlier with more run emphasis by Vandy. 
 

Texas should assume on side kick, always going on 4th down, flea flickers etc etc

Have to be disciplined in gap assignments/coverage on defense.

Amazingly, you can watch film from the last Texas/Vanderbilt game from 1928.  The game was played at Fair Park Stadium in Dallas and Texas lost.  The next year, Texas started a new streak of annual games in Dallas against Oklahoma, which continues until this day.  OU and Texas had played six times before in Dallas, but not every year.

Here's the video, such as it is:


And a picture of Fair Park Stadium, the predecessor to the Cotton Bowl:

Damn. One guy on the white helmet team (Texas?) is playing without a helmet.

Really interesting that helmets seem to be optional.

 I'm happy to hear that Quinn is looking better in practice but it implying that he'll play his "best game in three weeks" isn't saying a whole hell of a lot (and I understand that IT isn't trying to predict anything)

Thanks for posting that.  It almost looks like what a pickup game at the Surly tailgate would look like today.

Vandy getting several players back for Texas:

Several Vanderbilt football starters were listed as questionable on the team's availability report published Wednesday night ahead of a matchup with Texas. However, those players were all upgraded to probable by Thursday.

Langston Patterson and Miles Capers, each of whom missed the game against Ball State, were among them. So are Eli Stowers, AJ Newberry, Martel Hight, Sedrick Alexander and Linus Zunk. It is not known what injuries any of those players are dealing with.

A later addition to the report was Kolbey Taylor, who is questionable with a back injury, according to Clark Lea.

Zaylin Wood remains out after suffering an injury against Georgia State in September.

30 miles south of Nashville, had business in muscle Shoals yesterday. Looking forward to my first trip to Nashville.  if anybody’s at the JW Marriott, holla. . We have about 10 or 12 Exes in our group.

In the midst of some post-Georgia clip, I heard a UGa player say that they had studied our tells and basically knew where every call was going.

Kirby wouldn't pass that along to Lea, would he?

It's pretty much openly said in the IT article from today. The coaches noticed it and worked on it this week.

I don't understand how this keeps happening to Sark in big games. Why can't Texas disguise/vary them better?

This is just a complete and utter FAILURE of self scouting.  Something so systemic was happening that the opposing team knew what plays we were running before the snap.  Our self scouting personnel need to be fired, assuming we have any.  Any tendencies this large should have been found long before last week.  If we don't have any dedicated self scouting personnel, Sark needs to be  forced to hire some immediately.

OU in 2023 was the same basically that's how they picked off Quinn.

 

Sark needs to expect this shit and change it up
