October 15, 20187 yr Greatest concern isn't Sam's health or Shane's performance in his stead, it's whether we'll be playing against 11 ... or 19.

October 15, 20187 yr Upset city. Hope we come out with our A game under lights. Meh. We’re capable of playing better but I have no faith whatsoever. I’ll get drunk and hope like hell.

October 15, 20187 yr Plus side of all of this is the Pollsters and Recruits will be watching. Yes it will be much tougher than a day game but these are the games these kids came to Texas for.

October 15, 20187 yr this all but guarantees that WVU will be a 6-day hold. Okay for us, sucks for the WVU fans trying to make it from some random corner of the nation to Austin on such short notice. They are great hosts bTw. With ISU on fire right now, I bet ESPN wishes they could yank that game from the LHN. Nevermind, ISU has a decent chance, albeit small, of making the conference title game as the #2 seed. But they have a home game that day with Incarnate Word.

You know damn well every last seat will be filled with blood thirsty Texas haters, and the front row behind our bench will have those paddle things pounding at them the whole game.
October 15, 20187 yr Still a decent chance Shane has to start vs Okie Lite to make sure Sam ok for remainder of Season..... What does Texas Offensive Gameplan do differently vs Okie Lite to better match Shane's strengths compared to when Sam is starter??🤘 Edited October 15, 20187 yr by LTtxfan

Even before the season started I thought it was lame to put the ISU game on LHN. These days ISU can hang with anybody in the Big XII, and the past 4-5 years the matchups with the Horns have been very competitive with a few nail-biters. Just give Kansas the permanent LHN conference game spot.
October 15, 20187 yr Most of my buddies are absolutely furious about the game being on LHN. I'm grateful to have survived the 2010-2011 realignment craziness, so while I don't like it either, I ain't bitching. Mostly, I don't give a fuck because I'll be listening to the game on the radio in a tractor.

But they have a home game that day with Incarnate Word. We aren't in full control of our destiny. If we win out, and your only loss is to us, you'd still be ahead based on 1 conference loss vs. 2 conference losses. It's probably the Big 12's nightmare scenario, and wouldn't do a ton for us.
October 15, 20187 yr At first I thought this was a weird game to get the ABC prime slot. But looking at the schedule, there aren't really any big games. Penn State/Iowa or Clemson/FSU are about the only ones they could have gone with.

Sam’s MRI confirmed nothing major and he should be practicing with th 1s all week after resting for bye

You know damn well every last seat will be filled with blood thirsty Texas haters, and the front row behind our bench will have those paddle things pounding at them the whole game. It's homecoming weekend, so it might do better than I think, but I was at the UT game homecoming week four years ago in our shitty Dax Garman era, when it was butt ass cold, and we were celebrating another big donation from Boone, and the crowd was pretty weak. To the extent our fanbase has "blood thirsty Texas haters" many of them will bitch out because they don't want to see us get our ass kicked. The paddle people will be there because they are not fair weather fans, they would be there loud and rowdy if we were 0-6. 22 minutes ago, LTtxfan said: Still a decent chance Shane has to start vs Okie Lite to make sure Sam ok for remainder of Season.....

Anytime a new QB enters a game against us we are unable to adjust to anything that's done different. We've been carved up by more backup and third string QB's than I can even comprehend. Baylor put in a fucking wide receiver at QB against us a few years ago and he had a hell of a game. Edited October 15, 20187 yr by 'stache

October 15, 20187 yr I wish OSU was playing this week. Damn near the whole league is off this week. Much prefer to have the advantage of Bye but this Week OSU is off too.

October 15, 20187 yr Was really hoping for a 2:30 kick but oh well. More day drinking and tailgate trollin
October 15, 20187 yr 2 hours ago, 'stache said: Crowd might be pretty weak too. Lot of fair weather fans may bitch out. Only thing that helps is it's homecoming and a night game. If this were not homecoming and an 11 a.m. game, I'd expect about 40k. But yeah... I'm not expecting anything other than what we've seen the past few weeks. If the defense plays moderatly well, the offense will suck. If the offense is good, the defense will suck. The special teams will suck except FG kicking. And we'll have a shit-ton of backbreaking penalties. Wheeeeeeeeeee!

October 15, 20187 yr 3 minutes ago, NowThis said: were the paddles outlawed? No the still do them. They just have to stop basically when the opposing offense comes to the line.
October 15, 20187 yr The stadium will be full and raucous. They have plenty of time to let our Baylor performance give them hope. And hope makes people do crazy things. If recent history is a guide, we will play Sam, go up early, let them back in, win a close one, drop in the S&P+, and climb in the polls.

October 15, 20187 yr 18 minutes ago, NowThis said: play Heard man Damn good idea. We know he can run (ask BYU). For what we would need him to do in the pass game, that may just be the wrinkle to get us through OSU game and Sam some rest for Nov.

October 15, 20187 yr Yes, let's play the converted wide receiver who literally has not practiced at quarterback since December.
