I just came here to say "Fuck Baylor".

UT better not let off the gas tomorrow.  Baylor needs to be destroyed completely.  UT needs to go in dry and then carve #MeToo on the forehead of each player and coach (ala swastikas on the foreheads of nazis in "Inglorious Bastards").

It’s been 17 games since Texas has had a 100 yard rusher. The last time was Warren against San Jose. That’s unacceptable, they need to change that this week and run Ingram down their throats. However I see constant alternating at RB continuing which makes it difficult for any back to get 100.

Alex Dunlap is mildly regarded, but I'm not going to lodge an objection to that tweet.

shit, it's going to fucking rain right at game time tomorrow, isn't it?

of course it is, because i'm going to this one 😒

The more I've thought about this game the more nervous I get. UT won't go turnover~less forever, and the offense is due for one of those games where Sam tosses a pick + the ball gets put on the ground twice and by bad luck the defense picks it up. Turnovers, ( fumbles especially ) as one of those things that tends to revert back to the mean "suddenly", as in you might go 4 games without putting the ball on the ground, then have one game where you do it 4 times. 

Baylor's linebackers are so bad that it just might keeping them from being able to compete at all, and that is certainly the most likely outcome here. Their front 7 couldn't hold up against Duke so I don't think they can hold up tomorrow. The most likely result is UT just breaking off ~5 big plays and pulling away late as they have to abandon the run game and the defense can T off on the pass.

I also think there is a real chance (~33%) Baylor goes +2 in turnovers and we are shitting bricks on Saturday with a one score game with 5 minutes left.

You know S&P+ has this as a 10 point game right? 37 - 27?

So basically Texas can lose if the boys don't bring their C-game.

No but now I do. I disagree with the spread. Our defense is going to stop that offense.

Has anyone said it yet?  Anyone? 

 

Mudhole.

 

Yeah, I said it.  Eff Baylor.

Sagarin's predictor has the Horns as a 13.5 pt favorite.  Texas at 83.6 and Baylor at 70.1.

Using the recent metric that weights results, Tex is at 88.6, a full 5 pts stronger.  That's how much the MD loss hurts us.

And this is where I disagree, I think it's the other way round. S&P+ has their offense at 22 overall, but their defense is an abysmal 107 ( again, the linebackers for them are walk on quality ). The UT defense hasn't shown me anything this year to make me think Baylor is going to be held under the mid~20s. For this to be a 2 TD+ spanking, Texas is gonna need to get into the 40s. I think they can pretty easily do that, and that's most likely what will happen!

Baylor's offense can look impressive when it executes but often it fails to execute.  4 INTs is not bad 6 games into the season but they get sacked and cough up the ball frequently.  They've just been fortunate to get so many of them back.  Also they commit a lot of penalties. 

Despite the holding calls in the second half in gooner's favor (and lack of holds called on gooner), I would like an officiating crew like last week rather than the normal fockers we have been relegated to the past few years.

That is way too unreasonable, I know but hope springs eternal.

I don't care how we win, just so we win.

We're fast approaching my 8 win prediction and I don't want us to get too cocky.

So far this season has been the tale of two UTs. One UT demolished USC, demolished TCU, ran up 19 unanswered against K-State, took a 21-point lead against Tulsa, and blew out blOU 45-24 through 3 quarters.

The other UT has been 2017-esque. Lost to Maryland, gave up 21 in the second quarter against Tulsa, gave up 14 unanswered against K-State, and let blOU go on a 21-3 run in the 4th quarter. Hopefully we don't get the second UT tomorrow.

Interesting stat from last Baylor game was they only had TWO penalties and it was the previously perfect KSt team that had more penalty yards. Refs. Go figure.

Yeah, looks like the forecast is shit.  How does that affect kick off?  As long as there's no lightning, we play, right?

Texas fans give zero shits about Baylor, their run was a fart in the wind of college football. I think it netted them 1 1/2 B12 titles? Nobody is going to come watch that on Thanksgiving.

I think the highest forcasted chance is actually before game time. Hopefully it’s clear for the game.

That speaks more to our ineptitude for most of this decade than anything, as well as Mack's failures in winning the conference when we had the most talented squads in the Big 12.

Mack’s ass was on the line before 2004/2005. He squandered so much talent and got regularly raped by OU.
