You could think Malik Muhammad has been injured most of the year with how little his name has been called. It's impressive. 

 

I get like a pick every other game with him in CFB24 Road to Glory online. 
 

No fly zone for sure, QBs don’t even look over there.

The defense is championship caliber and the only reason why I still have hope we can beat the aggies in college station at night. 

Do you know the last time we lost at Kyle Field, at night? 
 
1993. Were you even born?

They had a much, much better team than Texas in 1993. You can say “College Station at night” like it means something. Maybe it once did,…back when Texas was a swing state (oops! No CR!), back when the 386 computer was a sparkle in Michael Dell’s eye, when SAAB (look it up, junior) was a Swedish car, and Saddam had been just been shown what’s what. 
 
There is no magic about night games at Kyle Field. They get loud. Our offense has hand signals. It will be fine.

The Jahdae blitz call on Pig's 2nd last possession (I think) was fucking poetry. 

He may have brought 2 DBs - I'd have to see a replay but I know that two Horns got to him. 

I don’t think it was a call. He saw that his guy was going to be covered, that the edge would be set, and went looking for work on his own.

I love these guys.

Eight out of ten opponents held under 20 points.  Five of those held to 10 or less.  Sacks and takeaways all over the place.  This is a championship defense.

These dudes are all gangsters. PK and Nansen have molded these guys to he feared. We do not have a real weak link on this defense unless you consider Norton, which I don't think is a weak link, he's just average to above average. Lole is the real surprise. Our Edges are killers. Sorrell, Simmons, Burke, Vasek when healthy, and then next year we'll have Simmons, Zina, Orogbo, Lance Jackson, Hilson (I'm penciling him in), and then our secondary went from Rhino diarrhea to snipers. Our LB'S with Hill and Lefau, plus Bo Barnes is sexy. PK and Nansen are like Scrooge McDuck jumping into a pile of gold. We'll get Muhammed back, Cole as the other corner, Taaffe should be back, Mcdonald, JJR, Filsame, Jonah Williams, and Zelus Hicks. 

 

Barron, Taaffe, Mukuba, Simmons, and the whole group can win a championship. If Quinn would pull his head out of his ass, this team is damn near unstoppable. This defense should scare everyone in CFB. Aggy is about to fuck around and find out, as is Kentucky. I want a rematch with Georgia in the SEC CCG so they know what's up.

they've been great no doubt. he has them playing space so well in teh back 7. and as the season has gone he has learned how to get pressure up front, unleashing 7, 10 and 11 to be true difference makers. mukuba is right there too. great stuff

collins man of the match today

his play all year has been the best of his career but we've all been waiting for that breakout game that says "draft me i'm rude"

he just elevated to day 1 today

pay that man his money

He and Broughton have both elevated their game. Baker deserves a ton of credit. Lole has been much better than anticipated. It's like we got the ASU version.

This is incorrect. Our last loss at night at Pyle was 2007. My freshman year.

Dude, Saab's are great cars. A buddy and I fixed his up and it purred like a kitten. They're very, very nice cars.

KO time was 2:42 PM. It was a long game. The sun was setting at the end and the lights were on. But still,…”afternoon game at Kyle?” Really?

Hey Yoda, that was a pretty good rant but Texas has voted Red since Jimmy Carter showed us his ass. The rest is spot on. Best thing about the Saab was the blackout dash…

A SAAB saved my life when a dump truck panic-swerved and drove over me. I walked away unharmed.

Good for you for walking away. Those cars are made for accidental stuff like that. Not to mention they're so smooth looking. I love their emblem, too. I love me a Saab. Once we fixed it up and took a drive in it I was just in love. It drove so smoothly. Really thought about getting one, but decided on a Range Rover since I like to camp a lot. Honestly. I may go take a look at some and a second vehicle to drive to work.

Was a great car. Had one of the last of the 93s. Bought it from my Dad who had a thing for hatch backs he also had a merkur xr4ti w a cosworth motor that was similar. I traded the Saab when I had to replace the cooling system as the company was being sold and parts were crazy high. And there is always more hotness  out there  when it comes to cars. But I really did like the black out button on the dash that turned off the interior lights. I had an Audi RS8 that had a similar button.  Loved that car too until the dealer jerked me around on a sunroof leak that shorted the computer. Did get a class action payment for that bs. Wish I had kept them all, but being a car slut is a lifestyle.

Nice. I had an Audi A8 for a few years before selling. Loved that car so much, but the maintenance just wasn't worth it. The interior smell, as weird as it sounds, had this amazing odor that made the day just seem better. I really miss that car, and I may eventually get another, but I'm still going back and forth. I camp a lot, so I'm afraid I'll just use it got work only, and that would be a disservice to such a beauty. But damn the MPG were a killer at the time. I wonder/hope it's gotten better. I know I'm complaining since my Range Rover is a gas eating mofo, but I can at least convince myself it's worth it for the outdoors. 

I always wanted to own a Saab ever since my buddy and I fixed his up, but I couldn't justify the price he was selling  it for. It was so, so nice, though. It ran almost perfectly. Would highly recommend anyone who can afford it to get one for themselves so they know what we're talking about.
