  1. Man, they sure have been lining up immunity challenges that suit Bruce.  Glad Austin was able to outlast him.  

    I was a little concerned for Emily that she was disclosing so much info, as that often has a way of backfiring, but she was masterful at making Bruce feel comfortable.  She was already doing well, but that definitely scored her some big points.    

    Game is definitely on now.  I think Jake and Katurah have survived long enough to be carried to the end and help the rest make moves.  The Dee/Austin thing is going to make them both targets at some point.

    With an 88% chance of beating Okie Lite, if Texas loses followed by FSU or Michigan losing, it will go down as one of the most EPIC losses and chokes in UT history.

    Better have some extra terabytes or something Immamac, because this board will meltdown through China, past the moon, and create a black hole out past Jupiter. A black hole with a burnt orange event horizon!

    What if another pandemic breaks out during the game, or a meteor falls on DKR?

    Totally agreed. The tOSU ranking is a big big deal being willfully ignored by posters here.  

    It's not a big deal because the guideline that applies to teams winning conference championships hasn't been applied yet.  They are not getting in over a 12-1 conference champion, and neither is Georgia if they lose to Bama.  

    Edit: C-Man beat me to it.

  4. The brothers never seem to make navigational errors, and have only had issues completing a few of the tasks.  They should be the heavy favorites.  I have the father/daughter and father/son also likely to make the final 3.  Based on performance to date, the beards should be next to go, followed by husband/wife.  

    Things rarely go as expected, so it will likely be one of my top 3 going this week.

    Other than one small nit (addressed in a minute), I agree.  Prior to last Friday/Saturday's games, it's clear that the committee thought Oregon's resume was superior to ours.  Both teams pummelled their opponent at home, but Oregon played a tougher team (Oregon State > Texas Tech).  They are not going to jump us ahead of Oregon tomorrow night.  When it comes to conference championship games, an Oregon win over Washington will be seen as superior to a Texas win over Okie State.  Same story.  They will not move us ahead of Oregon.

    The only way we will move ahead of Oregon is if Oregon loses.  (That's my nit -- "And nothing will change in between now and Sunday in our favor."  Not nothing, but nothing if Oregon wins.)

    You assume that the evaluations that put Oregon in front of us are carved in stone, never to be reconsidered.  They got a lot of credit for beating teams that were perceived at the time to be very good.  Many of those teams have shown that they are not so good after all.  Texas was in a cycle where we were struggling to put away teams.  There's also the common opponent factor which only came into play this week.  I'm not expecting Texas to jump Oregon this week, but I would not be at all surprised if they do.  If they don't, I will still have hope that they could, not knowing what has been reconsidered and whether the committee has to figure out how to justify Alabama getting into the CFP.  They have changed the order of teams every week, even when everyone has won.  The order of Oregon and Texas is not immune to that.

    They are a 2-time defending champion that has won something crazy like 45 out of their last 46 games. Yes, each season is different, but would be hard to leave them out.
    Look, no one knows for certain what the committee will do… but as a Texas fan that has watched our possible avenues to the CFP get slimmer each week as we get chalky results, I personally think the bama beating uga scenario makes it even harder. No one knows for certain though because humans are involved, and anyone saying otherwise is just your typical message board tough guy. 

    If they want a chance to prove that they are the best team in the country, then they should show that they are the best team in their conference by beating Alabama...like we did.  Hell, they won't even have to do it in Tuscaloosa.

    To a degree, the PAC 12 championship game sorta doesn’t apply to Texas. If the Huskies win, they are in the playoffs. If Oregon wins, they are probably in (barring an uninspiring performance and a monster Texas win). 

    Many feel that an Oregon victory still gives us a chance due to the many factors that have been previously mentioned.  So in that regard, The PAC CCG absolutely applies to Texas.  It may seem an insurmountable hill to climb if it comes down to Oregon and Texas for the last spot, but stranger things have happened.

    Simple: do you hate the big 12 more or OU more?

     

    ou, always

    I love Texas more than I hate anyone.  That's a distinction that separates us from some other fanbases.  Hate is nice to fall back on when your team is underperforming, but when things are going well, there shouldn't be much need for it.  OU will still be in our conference and we will have opportunities every year to ensure bad things happen to them.

    This dude needs to take a step back from stalking women online and relax. Holy fuck. 

    Asking what kind of pie we would hypothetically be fighting over is now stalking?  I'm not going to lie and pretend that I don't know what you are referencing, and I can see from your avatar why that was the first context that popped into your head.  Unfortunately it wasn't the first though that popped into mine while I was literally enjoying a slice of leftover key lime.  Otherwise I might have chosen not to attempt to lighten the mood with a random post about holiday desserts.

    The story is still being written about QE. One thing he has as  an advantage is Sark. Colt had GDGD. I shudder to think what QE would look like in GDGD’s offense. It nearly got Colt killed. I have eaten crow on QE and I think he’s coming along fairly well. I think the best thing for both UT and his development would be to come back next year. I do worry about his durability which is a fair question especially in the SEC. I think he’s not ready for the NFL at this time. I don’t want to fight over it like the last piece of pie leftover from Thanksgiving though. I’m just glad we have the roster we do and are gaining the ability to reload. I’m just not as attached to QE emotionally as I ever was/will be to Colt or VY. And some of that has to do with the rumors that he was going pro this coming year. I appreciate though having him at QB and hope he stays. He will only continue to improve and we will continue to improve as a team. 

    Wait, what kind of pie?
