For sure. Bad holds and general offensive ineptitude made it close as well. Murray was rattled in the 3rd and sailing his throws. If we didn’t open the door with back to back holds, I think the 4th would have been more of the same.
I’ve bitched about Beck and Herman a lot. I was wrong. Crow is delicious.
The team isn’t perfect. It’s young and make mistakes at bad times. But Herman and co have completely changed the culture and mentality. He’s our guy.
Buddy recommended this, but I’m not going to try it. I can guarantee you section 115, row 31 seats 15-16 are open because my wife threw away my damn tickets. Good luck.
I have a fun submission. My wife leaves important mail on the counter for me to look at before filing (shoving in her desk). A few weeks ago our Texas OU tickets came in. I glanced at them and said neat. We went to dinner and I didn’t think much of it.
A day or so later the tickets disappear. I didn’t think much of it...she generally clears the counter when people come over. Tonight she asks me where I put the tickets. I said I left them on the counter, but she doesn’t believe me and frantically searches my laptop bag and asks me to look in my car. Because logically, tickets go in the car I guess. Turns out I didn’t do anything with the tickets.
She lost the tickets. Meaning she threw them away while stress cleaning. So no corn dog or wax paper cup beer for me this year. She doesn’t do or say much stupid shit, but this may make up for how easy I have it.
Next year I guess they’re going in my car.
Best part of the thread was this gem:

Aggy little brother syndrome started day 1 when they were told to go away and find super shitty land in the middle of no where. The land grant was contested for a decade and they settled for the best offer - barren land full of wolves. Instead of being thrilled about opening the first public university in the state, the Legislature decided the same year aggy doors opened that “A university of the first class" be established at a site selected by a vote of the people and that it be called "The University of Texas." The Agricultural and Mechanical College was to be a branch of the main university.”
