Texas has spent the better part of the last 12 years getting sand kicked in its face and told it isn't good enough, or it isn't back, or its boosters are meanies holding down the program or that Austin is a cesspool. You name the kind of derisive, condescending shit-talking someone in the media, or representative of another fanbase, or even writing as a UT reporter but needing to pay off gambling or IRS debts, could say about the Texas football program, and it has been said. This all started on the evening of January 7th, 2010, just after that dirty, impish grandmother molesting Nick Saban sacrificed what is rumored to be a live chicken and a dead rhino to Lamashtu The Eraser, in exchange for the greatest dynastic run in CFB history, beginning with the immediate demise of Texas via an early injury to its star QB and leader, Colt McCoy. Twelves Years a Knave is a run too long for any blue blood program to endure. It all ends this weekend, right where it started, in front of God, Country, Longhorn Nation, all of US sports media, and that dark, tiny ankle-biter himself, Nick Saban. "But closetojumping, Alabama is the #1 team in the country!! They’re a juggernaut!" Yeah, yeah, I get it. Alabama is 10 feet tall and shoots lightning bolts from its arse. They're favored by 20.5 points on the road. Right. It’s true, when you look at what Bama does on the road against non-conference opponents, it’s quite intimidating. I think we all remember the last time they went on the road into unfriendly non-SEC confines in the year … (checks notes) … 2011. That’s right, Bama hasn’t played a legitimate non-conference game on the road since 2011. That means there are like 4 people currently involved with the program who have actually been a part of Bama going into unfamiliar territory with an overwhelmingly hostile crowd and no “gentleman’s agreement” creature comforts. In fact, in Saban’s entire 15 year tenure, Bama has gone on the road OOC exactly twice – against the mighty Duke Blue Devils in 2010 (62-13) and to Happy Valley in 2011 (27-11) while the PSU child molestation scandal was roiling under the surface within the football program. For all of the SEC tough talk about what brutal opponents they are to the outside world, they’re a generally inward-looking and thinking collection of programs and people, and Bama is no different. Hell, the last two times they played Big 12 opponents, they didn’t exactly run them out of the buildings on neutral sites – WVU 2014 (33-23) and OU 2018 (45-34). But, hey, maybe that is all ancient history and Alabama is lately a rolling ball of butcherknives when it comes to real road games, right? Let’s look at how largely the same team playing this weekend did in 2021. They played road games against UF (31-29), ATM (38-41), MSU (49-9), and Auburn (24-22 in quadruple OT). The Miss State game was the week after they shit themselves on the road against ATM. The other 3 games involved a mediocre UF team going for 2 to tie it late, ATM embarrassing them for 60 minutes, and Auburn’s Tank Bigsby going out of bounds like an imbecile to giftwrap a Bama comeback to tie a game that Auburn dominated. Does Texas face the team that lost to ATM the last time they were in Texas, or the team that rolled a hapless MSU the following week? “But CTJ, Texas lacks the talent to keep up with the Bama Machine!!??!” For the first time in a very long time, Texas will be going up against an elite team and will not have a major talent gap at multiple positions by comparison. In fact, Texas has more starting talent than Bama at multiple positions going into this game. 1) Bama’s OL is an untested pile of poo. They are going to gargle our collective balls after being left in a state of rubble by the “greatest OL coaching hire in college history”, Doug Marrone. Anyone who watched them against Utah State witnessed the OL struggling to get push against the USU front seven. Bama’s leading rusher in the game was Bryce Young and that isn’t a result of either Young being an amazing scrambler or Bama taking it easy with their TBs against the G5 program. Texas’ DL will face more complete OLs this season than the one they face on Saturday. 2) Bama’s WRs and TEs should scare no one. This isn’t 2019. Bama hasn’t had this weak a group of TEs in over a decade, and that’s even if Latu plays. The WRs aren’t substantially more formidable. Burton is fine, but he’s not keeping anyone awake at night. Prentice looks good but he’s not Waddle. After that, shit gets dicey. 3) The defensive line for Alabama isn’t up to its usual snuff. The 3 interior DL positions are manned by big bodies, but also guys that haven’t gone pro yet because they weren’t good enough to do so. By Bama standards, that should give every opponent some upside in expectations. Of course their outside guys, Anderson and Turner, are all anyone on this board wants to shit themselves over, but they’re two guys. The interior doesn’t command a double team, so energy can be focused in supporting the outside. 4) Texas has elite talent at TB, WR, and TE. It has potentially elite talent at QB, OT, and OG. Sarkisian is one of the best offensive playcallers in football. He has the talent and depth at key positions which will enable him to create interesting match-ups even for a talented defense like Bama. 5) Bill O’Brien is a meatheaded asshole chugger. BOB is in the process of doing what he does. He’ll continue to degrade his unit on a yearly basis until there is simply nothing left. Saban won’t allow for that, but he’s let him stay on another year after sniffing around in the market and not liking his other options. That serves to our benefit, as we should expect turtled playcalling and a general lack of creativity. For a defense still trying to find reliable footing, O’Brien is the ideal OC at a place like Bama for Texas to face. “closetojumping, these guys are SEC! SEC! SEC! and I am not sure our stadium can handle their ferocity!?!” The last time a “greatest team ever” from the SEC marched into the confines of DKR, Texas was a dropped touchdown pass via a gimpy and weak-willed Keontay Ingram away from ruining their plans. As mentioned earlier, this is a program that is unused to walking into a foreign, angry fanbase 100,000+ strong and hell bent on turning the tide of 12 Years a Knave, bestowed upon us by their dark lord of a head coach in the first place. I don’t expect Bama to cringe or crumple under the pressure, but I do expect them to be at an inherent disadvantage. I also don’t expect to see many Alabama fans in attendance, simply because most of them have to work in the service industry on weekends and these tickets and Austin travel are also quite expensive for a base of largely minimum wage workers. Also, we’re fucking due. Storied programs are forged and burnished by deliverance when the spotlight and sun burn brightest. Our time for ascension is here, goddammit, and it is long overdue time for Nick Saban and his waterheaded following of fucktards to go to hell and give the rest of college football some fucking space to breathe. I believe the great Texas freedom fighter Davey Crockett said it best, specifically thinking about the cowering brethren he was leaving behind as he headed out when he said: “Alabama Fans and the rest of these God forsaken SEC mouthbreathers can actually all go to hell. As for us, we’re going with Texas – 34-31. “ Hook’em60 points

That statement was put in parentheticals specifically because it didn't come from Sankey and Sankey wouldn't confirm it. Bjork thinks saying that publicly as often as he can will cement it into reality. I'm interested in seeing how Texas handles the ATM bullshit publicly from here. Texas is pushing for scheduling issues to fall the right way, and that has been okay with some of the other SEC titans. It's rubbed the weaker programs, ATM included, the wrong way. -9 conference games doesn't serve ATM's or Vandy's or Missouri's benefit, but the money and inventory for future money from that 9th conference game sure as hell does. -The other issue across the the conference is the FCS game. Bama and Georgia are happy to have another team pushing back against these games, while almost everyone else, including pussies at UF and ATM, want to keep those games. -The final scheduling issue that was front and center is that ATM started out ardently against playing Texas yearly, claiming they're not rivals and they'd rather keep playing South Carolina on a yearly basis. Eventually they were just told to shut the fuck up and take the money. So now Bjork is attempting to push this nanny-nanny-boo-boo shit with the first game being at Kyle. There's literally zero justification for the rivalry picking up in that regard, but, hey, the spineless whiners need a "win". I am still not convinced that they're going to get even that concession.26 points

Model year 61' was when the last H model B-52s were made. Worked on these in the late 90s early 2000s at Minot AFB. Here is a young Mother Mopar on the right flying on one in 2000 to an air show on the east coast. We.are.going.to.win25 points

I sold Bill O'Brien a home when he got the Texans job. He was kind enough to shoot the shit with me for about an hour talking football. He asked me who I thought they should take with the #1 pick in the draft...I can't remember who I mentioned.. But he asked what I thought about Manziel. I told him I went to Texas and I though Manziel would suck shit in the NFL. He paused and with a slight grin said, "I really like him". Anyone that fucking stupid calling plays for Alabama is a boon for us. Fuck Alabama.24 points

Nebraska has a 48 home game win streak, 47 home game win streak…. Nobody (ooc) comes into the shoe at night and leaves with a win…. But this is USC….Texas plays in the b12 and they haven’t faced a defense like Georgia………17 points

I didn’t argue against any P5 opponent that UF has scheduled. What you did here is a cheap rhetorical tactic that will get you iced pretty quickly on this site for being a fucktard - you introduced a strawman. You moved the goalposts. I asked a simple set of requests. Defend UF’s non-con over the last two decades. Defend scheduling FCS teams. You chose to attempt to change the subject. Let me help you answer this: ”I cannot defend the scheduling of FCS opponents in the SEC. We started doing it a little over a decade ago because we realized we wouldn’t get punished for it by the media. It boosted our records compared to other conferences playing more difficult schedules. Also, we started scheduling them in November because we realized that this is when other conferences are beating themselves up and it would boost our rankings late in the season artificially. “ ”UF hasn’t played a real non-con road game in 20+ years outside of the state of Florida because we are dickless coelenterates who like to talk to shit but have no willingness to back our talk up on the field outside of the SEC. But now we see the landscape shifting, so we’re scheduling non-cons in the future so no one will notice our bullshit in the past and we can pound our chest. “ Strong work. But yeah, happy to play Rice every now and then. They’re not like Vanderbilt though. We don’t strategically keep them in our division so we’re guaranteed another win besides our bitchass FCS game every year.16 points

I've enjoyed all of the comments. I've said it often, but I don't know whether I am more entertained when people get the jokes, or when they don't. Some of the younger/newer posters misreading some of this has made me laugh. Anyway, one thing that is fucking absurd to me, albeit predictable, is how absolutely slanted the outlook for this game is from the commentators all day long on XM 84. The primary point when this game is discussed so far this week is "can Texas keep this close in the first half?" I get that Bama is viewed as the chalk pick to win it all, but just the general assumption that Texas is going to get outright blown out at home, like not even in a shit-talking or condescending way, just presumptively, is pretty awesome. Maybe that happens and they're justified, but I don't see it.14 points

Bama's run of dominance began by beating a Longhorn Freshman QB from a Texas high school powerhouse who wore #3. You already know how it ends.14 points

Meh, maybe not. I cannot even begin to count the number of times in my life when one of my contemporaries would make the comment "must be nice" when referring to my home or possessions etc. Yeah you lazy fuck it is nice. The reason YOU don't have nice things like this is because your lazy ass always took the short cut or easy way out. You never had any ambition or desire to excel and work hard, long hours to perfect you craft, and make a better life for you and your family. Enjoy your leaky single wide trailer you trashy piece of shit.12 points

Re: Russia has “not lost anything” It’s amazing that an entire culture seems to built on non-stop lies. Everything that they claim - you can assume that the opposite is true. I hope that the current slow-motion collapse of their occupation army turns into a spectacular collapse of the entire military. And their economy. Not since Nazi Germany has there been a civilization so deserving of failure.12 points
