    I've read your back and forth with them and Mitch. There will be mass seppuku if they lose. I thought they were just giving visitors a hard time but they really believe that there is no way they lose to such an inferior, lower class program. 

    I'll use a bit of care and qualification here, because they aren't exactly the same but there sure seem to be a lot of similarities but my data points are vastly different.

    I went snow skiing in Lake Tahoe prior to the USC game. I, by design, wore Texas gear frequently. I've also known more than my fair share of USC fans.

    Every USC fan I had ANY level of engagement with was completely certain Texas would be destroyed. I really did not find a single "fan" that knew who "number 10 was for Texas" , and I asked frequently. Which sort of shocked me. I mean, I get not knowing our OL or DBs... but um.. he was at the same Heisman ceremony with Bush.

    Most USC fans I met at the time and know epitomize the fair weather Tshirt fan.

    Based on the experience with Washington, it seems it might be a West Coast fan thing, not just a USC fan item.

    It’s no big deal because another shit for brains assures them Arch is terrible. 

    Which is really a shame because it's going to mess up all the klan plans at Texas when the rich white boy end up sucking.

    I found that aspect/claim pretty "rich" considering the source.

    Kinda like they learned how to cuck? Be a cuck? Be cucked? (I don't know if cuck can be used as a verb) I am going with they learned how to be a cuck to enjoy and absorb the humiliation from their last head ball coach. 

    Cuckhold

  3. I will say this, aside from former SWC teams, (misery I don't care about really) I really dislike Georgia fans the most, living in Tennessee guess UTK is pretty annoying with their other UT shit. Bama fans remind me of Notre Dame fans when I lived in Chicago. 99% Tshirt, 100% mouth breathers.

    I forgot where I read it, but the University of Memphis did a survey on rivalries between different schools and Texas has 11 (ELEVEN!) different schools that consider us their rival. They didn't mention the schools but I'm having trouble imagining who that would be past 6 or so.

    Someone posted that somewhere recently. (Look at the big brain on Chet).

    I don't recall them listing the teams.

    OU, ATM, Pig, Corn, SMU, Sand Aggie, TCU, Rice, Cougar High, Baylor come to mind. They all hate us (Rice meh.. but..) That's 10? 

    For me, Ousux. That's all I have to contribute.

    But I'm flexible.  No, seriously...I can still put a leg behind my head at 47 for proper ball-sucking.  She should call me...

    5, 2, 1, 6, 3, 4

    Like you I'm flexible but in a different sense. We agree on who should be seeded #1 but differ a lot after that. Seems we'd likely make good wing men for one another.

    I can't and never could put my leg behind my head, but I do posses other less tangible skills.

     

    Edit - To be clear, should the extremely unlikely situation come to pass, where you and I are deciding which of the 6 USC pom squad interested in fornication with us both we are going to bed... I'm not a proud man, and I'd be willing to accept sloppy seconds as required. I'm a giving and understanding man, you see.

    Mostly, I'm rambling at this point to redirect the conversation towards hot ass USC cheerleaders or aggie stupidity and away from band camp talk.

  6. Well.. my take is we fucked up "more than 10 point margin of victory"  7 teams this year. All of those had pretty shitty Ds and not great offenses. I think Kansas had the best defense of those 7 "blow out" wins by stats. (Feel free to correct me here on data) That reality leads me to believe that if if there is a team to be fucked up in the CFP, I think it's Washington. I think the others are sub 14 point games either way.

    This is super scientific and fuck, Jan 1st is a long way off.

    I feel like we should hold a moment of silence on 12/22 to commemorate the brave men & women of Texas A&M who were willing to sacrifice their football program for the greater good.

    Since announcing the Gator Bowl forfeit all they have done was go 12-12 on the heels of the greatest recruiting class in history and have become the laughing stock of the sport getting decimated in the portal and paying over 3x the previous highest buyout in history.

    You really do have to tip your cap.

    Aggie sets records bro! This is known. Squeeze your own balls and ooze confidence that they are leading the charge of new college football records!

    Nope.  aggy reserves this for only the most sacred of non-human events like  Bonfire, Pool, Yell, Jizz-Jar, etc....     People HAVE to have "The", The Marine, The Chief, The Elk.  Unless they go with the super creative, first initial-first syllable combo.   E-Rob, M-Sherm, C-Weg.   They MUST stick to their template.  

    Holy shit so true...

    Not sure why, but to treat the idiotic hot take fairly-- it's obvious that the vast majority of Longhorn fans actually like having this game at the Cotton Bowl during the State Fair.  That's not the same as desperately clinging to goofy, antiquated activities for the sake of tradition.  It's that we genuinely like and prefer the game there.
    Believe me there are numerous forces acting against the preservation of this neutral site classic, every single year.  The ONLY thing keeping it there, is the fact that the fan bases genuinely, sincerely like it.  That has been the common sentiment expressed on this thread, and every other Cotton Bowl/TX-OU thread in the long history of surly/shaggy/hornfans/austin360/etc. It stays there, because the vast majority of fans want it there.
    Otherwise, it'd be super easy and convenient to change it to a home and home.  
     

    Move it away from the Cotton Bowl/fair and it's simply another conference game in a shitty NFL environment, and home and home would be even less special. I don't get why some people can't understand this.

    If they moved it to Jerha World, I'm pretty confident I'd just stop going. Not sure I'd even go to Dallas as.. if I'm not going to the game no reason to be in Dallas.

    Pretty sure I'm not alone.

    I watched the oSu game with my mom, she's pushing 80 and was pissed we didn't keep oSu in the teens. I looked at her and said "mom, we haven't won the conference since 2009, we haven't played in the conference title since 2018. Let's be happy, 49-21 is still an ass-kicking." She huffed, muddled "well, that's true" and went about her disgruntled way ... the Texas way.

    Your mom is a badass boss bitch!! Good for her!!

    I think you're misreading it a bit. The way I see it is that there is higher volatility/variability with the Washington matchup than the Michigan matchup. I roughly know what kind of game to expect from our matchup with Michigan given the strength on strength situation. I expect it would be fairly similar to our game against Alabama with one team or another taking a late lead. I wouldn't expect a blowout either way. With Washington, the strength on weakness matchup for both teams creates a lot of possible outcomes. We could blow out Washington if our D plays similar to last year, but cleans up the run game better by playing more disciplined. On the other hand, if our offense goes into one of the funks it has been known to do or if our D plays passively, trying to read and react, we could get blown out. I don't think that is as likely as us dominating, but it is possible. Washington is a puncher's chance type of team because of its offense, and I always hate playing those teams because there is a higher element of chance in the outcome. Frankly, you see that in their SP+ rating and in their post-game predicted chance to win in a lot of their games.  Michigan is the better team between them. But Washington is scarier because of that random chance element. 

    I think this too is a fair assessment. I guess, deep in my hopelessly hopeful brain I hope Sark keeps the gas pedal all the way down in the 3rd and if so, really do believe we can run away on Washington. I do not think that possible with Michigan nor... Bama (which is the least interesting game to me and possibly the nation). Win yes, runaway no.

    I think all 4 teams in the CFP deserve their spots, I think they ARE the 4 best teams in the country right now, and I think any one of them could beat any other.  That's going to make this year's CFP a lot of fun.

    It'll obviously be even more fun for us, if the Horns win.  

    But if not, it's still been a fantastic season, and one I'll remember fondly forever.  It's not like Texas has been just piling up the football conference championship trophies lately.  This one is special and meaningful.

    Now, let's see the team go beat the shit outta U-Dub.

    As usual, you make good points. A bit lost in all the excitement is how great this season has been regardless of what happens in New Orleans and hopefully Houston.

    I'm made my prediction here already, and I openly admit, that i think Michigan's uniforms are the second best in the country.

    I'd love nothing more than to watch the Storm Troopers take the field against Blue again like I did in the 04 Rose Bowl. 🌹 

    Let's fucking go!

    re this idea that Texas fans are overlooking Michigan ... and frankly Washington (fans) overlooking Texas...

     

    Re the Michigan match up:

    I think many think Texas matches up well with Michigan because our D strength matched up with their O strength and Michigan does not have a heisman caliber QB to torch our secondary. I think the assumption is if our weakest link is not exposed we can be truly dominate on D. I suspect that's largely true. The Michigan match up is basically strength on strength, not strength on weakness (unlike the Washington match up).

    I think most overlook Michigan's D matched up with our O. Many are assuming that our O is our strength, and to that point Sark can game plan for 30 points against their D and boom we win.  That's the oversight on our part. That is very much an unknown fact IMO. But I don't see anyone assuming Texas walks all over Michigan.

    Re the Washington match up:

    The Washington match up is strength on weakness, not strength on strength and our fan base is probably more sure about strength on strength.  Clearly Washington fans see their strength on our weakness (their passing game versus our secondary) and are failing to see Texas' strengths are a major issue for them. Texas will stop the Washington run game. Texas will score at least 30 points. Both of those Texas strengths match up very well with Washington. Washington fans completely dismiss that and then focus on Penix vs. our secondary which is a huge reason why they should be confident.

    This is how I view it as well, and you clarify it far better than I. So thanks!

    I haven't seen anyone say UM is a cakewalk, just that they are a better matchup for us than UW because the passing game and our secondary. 

    That was the bulk of it. Maybe I am just making shit up, but that didn't seem to be the Tobe.

    I actually do disagree on the match up, I think Michigan is a tougher win and better than Bama or Washington. However, I do understand the match aspect vs our D for sure though. Mostly I think Washington had a shitty D and know Michigan has a strong run D which could cause us issues.

    I hope to find out and I really wasn't trying to incite a debate, just reflecting the impression I got.
