November 6, 20223 yr Popular Post So, this is what a road victory looks like? Huh. Doesn’t seem like it should be that hard. Glad it happened. In the part of the season now where I don’t really care how it looks, just care if we win or lose. This TCU game is pretty important, and strangely, maybe not really all that important? If Texas gets through the season at 7-2 it’s a guarantee that we go to the big 12 title game and it’s pretty much a guarantee that we play TCU. But, if we lose this one and win out from there (beating KU and Baylor) we will be 6-3 with the tie breaker on everyone else we would be at 6-3 at with the exception of Ok State. So- if KSU loses at Baylor this week (which would be expected I would think) and Ok State loses any of their last 3 games (also I’d expect that- home ISU, @OU, home WVU) we’d be going to the big 12 title game to play TCU. It’s super important for other reasons though. Win this and we get to crush the hopes and dreams of TCU, which is mean but fun. We get a win over a top 5 team. We get to 7 wins on the year with 3 or 4 games left to play from there where coach will have a chance to get past 7 win Steve. We move into the top 15 I’d think, keep recruiting momentum going, set a floor on the drain where many people said would be our season, and should give confidence going into the last 2 games that we’ve turned it around and gotten through the worst of the rebuild in all likelihood. I’m not going to fly a mission accomplished flag or anything, but it keeps all the reasonable goals for the team in play and earns the right to start thinking about some pretty cool stuff after a decade of eating shit. So, this is a pretty pretty pretty big week. game week thoughts, news and notes etc go here. Edited November 6, 20223 yr by Wulaw Horn
November 6, 20223 yr Popular Post Gary Patterson better earn his salary this week. Most of his income is coming from TCU lol

November 6, 20223 yr Honestly, I don’t think there’s an outcome that would surprise me short of one team just totally running the other off the field. The Texas pass defense is so bad that it’s not hard to see TCU naming their number. Conversely, the TCU defense is a step down from KSU or ISU. If Texas plays a sharp game on offense there are going to be a lot of points to be had as well. Now that I’ve said this, it’ll be 3-2, of course.Texas favored by an entire TD feels a little generous but I can certainly see why one would expect them to win at home. Should be a great atmosphere. Bummed we won’t be there.
November 6, 20223 yr Fat Pat is an advantage. Knows the players knows Dykes. Will we use it? Who the fuck knows.

November 6, 20223 yr The biggest thing will be making sure TCU doesn’t find a way to knock Quinn out of the game. Injuring five QBs in six games seems like more than a coincidence.
November 6, 20223 yr The committee seems more prone to rank for matchups and give teams the opportunity to prove themselves in the top 4 when they have a big game upcoming. That's why I think they put TCU 4 this week and let them prove themselves while giving the country a #~18 and #4 match-up. Let's win this and force them to keep us out of the 10th spot.
November 6, 20223 yr Need a frogger gif with a Texas truck running it over just as it's about to clear the road...
November 6, 20223 yr Bold prediction: if we win, the amount of “OMG SeVeN wIn StEvE!!1!” Posts will be too damn high
November 6, 20223 yr I heard TCU has 11 players that can top out over 21 mph. If so we better be ready for a track meet!
November 6, 20223 yr We need this win. Defense is gonna have its hands full no doubt. Gotta contain Duggan and get his ass on the ground.
November 6, 20223 yr Just feels good to have an important game this late in the season. All eyes will be on Austin Saturday night.
November 6, 20223 yr Should be an electric environment with a night home game against a top ten team. DKR really gets up for these games. I’m cautiously optimistic for this one. Having Patterson on staff should give us unique insight and he’s probably been prepping for this game plan for months.

November 6, 20223 yr I say Gary coaches and sark recruits. Seems like the perfect match for this week. Or I liked the first second half idea. I kinda am hoping we are losing at half.
November 6, 20223 yr 20 minutes ago, Vertigo said: So do we. Plus Quentin Johnson was knocked out of the Tech game with an ankle injury. That can't hurt. No he injured during pre game but was running and hopping trying to go. Long story, he is lighting us up.
November 6, 20223 yr 20 minutes ago, Vertigo said: So do we. Plus Quentin Johnson was knocked out of the Tech game with an ankle injury. That can't hurt. His status is huge. TCU can't stretch the field without him and they were limited yesterday as a result. And won't be able to rely upon a coach consistently going for it on 4th down from his own 35.
November 6, 20223 yr Build a wall around the pocket and make that Duggan guy be Tom Brady to beat us. If he doesn’t beat us scrambling I like our chances.
November 6, 20223 yr I’ve felt more confident about this game than really any other conference game so far. I hope they’re ranked top 4 and get to hear about it all week.
November 6, 20223 yr I have hard time believing the league will let us win this game. We will see some of the worst calls against us in the history of the league. Edited November 6, 20223 yr by UTEE97

Win and we can still make the b12 championship game. Lose and We likely lose to Kansas or Baylor too. Maybe both to end the season with a 3 game losing skid.

November 6, 20223 yr Fuck the Cockroaches. LETS GO! Hold the scramble and let our running game go off.
November 6, 20223 yr I thought I read somewhere that Patterson said earlier this week that he won’t help Texas gameplan against his former team, said he had too much love for both teams. Hope I’m wrong.

November 6, 20223 yr No CR, but TCU is gonna throw for somewhere between 700 billion and a trillion 300 million billion yards. Yet we still might win.

November 6, 20223 yr question....got a youngster family member coming to the game...he really likes Bevo....do they unload him and walk him into the stadium? And if so where does this happen?
November 6, 20223 yr IT mentioned today that they don’t expect Guilbeau back during the regular season. Sounds like a bowl game is the earliest possible return.
November 6, 20223 yr Dee Winters will miss the first half because of his targeting ejection yesterday. It’d be nice to take advantage of that.

November 6, 20223 yr Patterson isn't losing this game. Dykes whipped his ass last year and it isn't happening again.
