Game Week- Iowa State
I think Iowa State will be a much more challenging test for Texas than OU. It's actually unbelievable to me that I can say that after over 30 years of watching Texas football. A bit of a post-OU hangover for Texas wouldn't surprise me, either. However, I also don't think that Iowa State has seen a QB like Ewers yet this season. Shapen at Baylor is probably the best QB they have faced up to now. Hard to gauge how good their defense is based on the level of competition they have played. If they sell out to stop the run, Ewers will abuse their secondary and make them pay dearly. Something like a 31-17 win for Texas seems about right to me here.

Just how down is ou?

- Texas vs ou - 11am on ABC
We're in Kerrville this weekend for the MIL's birthday (no pics). After the game we had to run to HEB (it was open) for a few things. Wife and I are both wearing burnt orange. As we're walking back to the car this crypt keeper looking woman in a Boomer Sooner t-shirt walking the opposite direction waves at us to get our attention then throws the Horns down. She was about 20' away. My wife and I just looked at each other, laughed & shook our heads. She either yelled "lucky win" or "fuck your win" as we continued to our car. One of the most bizarre experiences I've ever had with someone from another fan base. If that cow had actually bothered to watch the game, there was nothing "lucky" about it. It was like watching my high school (which won all of FIVE GAMES in the four years I went there) taking on the Tom Brady-led New England Patriots. Just a complete mismatch. I really don't think OU's talent differential is all that much versus ours, but they were hampered by a new scheme, and really bad coaching and playcalling.- Eat a dick, Bret Bielema, you fat fucking retard
Illinois is my other school besides Texas. I was kind of meh about the Bielma hire, as I thought he was kind of a buffoon. But I'll be damned, he has his guys playing some decent quality football this season, which is way more than I've come to expect out of Illinois most years. They are actually a late-game collapse against Indiana away from being undefeated. I don't think they can hang with Michigan, but every other game on their schedule is winnable for them. It would not shock me if they went 10-2 and snagged a really nice bowl berth. Quite a turnaround.- 49-0
As I approach 50, I have noticed it takes me a hell of a lot longer to recover from a hangover than it used to. And ain't nobody got time for that at my age. That said, I got pretty fuckin baked last night in celebration of this W.- Ja'Tavion Sanders--the Offense's Agent Zero
I'm shocked. After the last 10 years of watching Texas football, it's like we suddenly rediscovered that we are allowed to pass to tight ends again. I'm all aboard the JT Sanders hype train, though. I hope the dude smashes every TE record here at the 40 Acres by the time he is done here.- Just how down is ou?
I don't think OU will stay down forever. I think the move to the SEC will eventually help them, and they'll run Venables off soon enough. Though it would not disappoint me if their next hire also turned out to be a dud, and they spent the next 10 years wandering around in the wilderness like we have. That said, it's not every year we get to tap that ass for 49-0, so I'm going to savor this one for a while.- brent venables kicks puppies.....
- Texas vs. West Virginia - 6:30pm on FS1
Let me guess, refs bet WV to cover?- Texas vs. West Virginia - 6:30pm on FS1
Fucking trash officiating, but par for the course in the Rig 12.- Texas vs. West Virginia - 6:30pm on FS1
Damn, that was SICK! I cringed when Card threw that ball up, thought for sure one of the WV defenders was going to pick it off.- ztejas sucks
Or, to cite a more recent example, Windows 11.- Texas vs tech - 2:30pm on ESPN
Might as well rip off the band-aid and hire Traylor or promote Patterson. But we'll do neither, so at least I don't have to labor under the delusion that this program is going anywhere anytime soon.- ztejas sucks
Gary Patterson or Jeff Traylor would be a major step up compared to the dogshit we put out on the field today.- Anyone else out of fucks to give?
I honestly don't even care enough to be angry about losses like these anymore. That's the worst part of the last 13 years. Meet the new coach, same as the old coach. Nothing will ever change.- Texas vs tech - 2:30pm on ESPN
I think the portal is only working in one direction for us from here on out.- Texas vs tech - 2:30pm on ESPN
Can't wait to go to the SEC and become everybody's favorite easy win on the schedule. That's all we're ever going to amount to for the foreseeable future.- College Football is dead
For the record, I think these were C-USA officials. Not that Big XII officials are materially any better. The officiating in this game reminded me of that blatantly disgusting Okie Lite game several years ago. This one wasn't quite that bad, and Texas mostly had the talent advantage to overcome it late. But you could tell that the officials were doing everything in their power to give UTSA every possible advantage on the calls. Sure does make you wonder if they had money on the game somewhere.- Roadkill vs trampling longhorns LHN 7 PM
Not our best game, but the guys responded after getting punched in the mouth and gutted out the win. Bijan was a motherfucking beast tonight. Hopefully we clean some things up ahead of Tech next week.- Roadkill vs trampling longhorns LHN 7 PM
No gimmes on it, but I would feel a lot better if we had Ewers back and healthy for the meat of it.- Roadkill vs trampling longhorns LHN 7 PM
Hopefully we'll have Ewers back by OU - or this is going to be a long fucking season.- Roadkill vs trampling longhorns LHN 7 PM
Foot on the gas, boys.- Roadkill vs trampling longhorns LHN 7 PM
FUCK YEAH, GO BIJAN GO!- Roadkill vs trampling longhorns LHN 7 PM
For a second I thought they were going to call a bullshit penalty on us after Card's big run, just to negate it.
