Texas vs USC Game Thread

[Vertigo 20,290]

Herman’s road to redemption begins tonight, because what starts here.. changes the world.

- Cronkite probably

Matt Leinart is still wrong.

Step 1a to unfuck yourself, Tom, is call plays the whole game. Step 1b is to win and look good doing it.

50% chance of rain and scattered thunderstorms throughout the game. Fingers crossed for no lightning delays, I don't think pizza delivery can get close enough to the stadium.

Interesting implications for today's game. You lose and the season is likely a wreck- I don't see how Herman recovers. You win and you have a chance to make this an inflection point for the rest of the season, win a reasonable number of games, and revive the recruiting class.

[Mo Horn 8,849]

It is said all the time and mostly hyperbolic, but I believe this is truly the biggest game for the Texas program in the last 10 years. With the recruits that will be there, and everything else going on in the conference and the state, this game could determine the fate of the Horns for the next 5 to 10 years. 

[williemackgarza 1,826]

Sad, every game with a decent opponent has been considered a big game under herman, and each time hes shit the bed on natl tv. Come on herman, PLEASE, dont fuck this up! It could def be a kickstart to a corner turning momentum (just illusion} shift.
Pray to 7 lb 6 oz little baby jesus that Herman can finally pull it together and get this thing going.
Winning is hard when you coach like a dumb ass and trip over your own dick ea step of the way.

Actually, it was a marketing firm that came up with it.  True story.

deep down I know this team should win this game, because we have the players,  but leadership matters and the leadership of this team sucks massive dick, leaving me with little confidence of us resembling a football team today 

[Zavala 1,384]

Anybody know what refs we get? Last year they had a big impact. 

Looks like the total shit-for-brains crew is doing OU/ISU.

If we send Beck out for the pizza he can’t fuck up the play calling!

I'm with yah on lack of player leadership from Captains & most Upperclassmen.  Texas does have some young players that have played well like Sterns, BJ, Cosmi.

.

Can't believe Bullshit we've seen on the field thus far this Season.

You should want for this upperclassman heavy team to step up and show some leadership. If they don’t we’re for a really long season.

Herman got Gumby’s pizza on standby. Feed the whole team for $35 

[Armybrat 40,851]

Got to our usual corner in the Brazos garage 6 hours before kickoff to set up the family tailgate. Making do with adult beverages & chips until the rest of the herd gets here with the eats.

nice cool breeze out of the SE.

Fuck usc.

[HuskiesHorns 28]

even if Beck has to go get the pizza, he already compiled a list of plays that will be called in consecutive order regardless of score, field position, defensive alignment or any other in-game situation.

If the forecast called for "fire" we'd be screwed.

[Tired of Lurking 637]

It's so pretty outside. At least in Del Valle. Of course that means the torrential downpour will begin as soon as I set foot downtown.

I think those thoughts need to be preempted by Corch.  He needs to come up with the winning Pizza Play!  I say Miltos.

I could go for some Miltos Stromboli right about now!  With all the meat!

And we can use the Greek influence to get out players to FUCK THE TROJANS UP THEIR ASSES!

[Doc Reeves 6,434]

This is a big game for my overall feeling of the program. I’ve been on the fence for a while. We don’t have to win, but we can’t look like pressed dog shit either. 

 

[T-shirt Sip 2,107]

I have 2 tickets in section 130 row 9 if anyone wants them. Free. We can’t make it. 

Edit. They are electronic tix. I can email to you.

Agreed 100%.  Going to be melodramatic as hell, but this is going to gauge where we are at.

My pregame ritual is now loading up on water so my liver can actually survive the game.

We lost the option of not winning this game when we fell to Maryland again.

This is a huge, huge game for recruiting purposes. Another 1-2 start, with TCU, blOU, and K-State @ Manhattan looming, would set us back big time.
