  1. Longest true road game winning streaks in Texas history: 1. 16 games - 10/18/2003 (40-19 @ Iowa State) through 10/28/2006 (35-17 @ Texas Tech). This is 17 if you count at Reliant against Rice as a true road game (9/30/2003 48-7) but you shouldn't. Road loss before the streak: 11/16/2002, 38-42 @ Texas Tech. Road loss ending the streak: 11/11/2006, 42-45 @ Kansas State. 2. 15 games - 11/26/1981 (21-13 @ Texas A&M) through 11/17/1984 (44-23 @ TCU). This counts a game at Little Rock against Arkansas because you should consider that a true road game of course. This is also a 17 game road non-losing streak. Road non-win before the streak: 11/17/1981 14-14 tie @ Houston. Before that there was a 9-7 W @ SMU on 10/24/1981 and before that was the loss before the streak, 10/17/1981, 11-42 @ Arkansas. Road loss ending the streak: 11/24/1984, 10-24 @ Baylor. 3t. 12 games - 10/26/1968 (38-14 @ Rice) through 9/18/1971 (28-10 @ UCLA). Road loss before the streak: 9/28/1968, 22-31 @ Texas Tech. Road loss ending the streak: 10/16/1971, 7-31 @ Arkansas in Little Rock. If you don't count Little Rock as a true road game, which is wrong but okay, then this streak reaches 18 games through 11/18/1972 (27-0 @ TCU) and is ended 9/21/1973, 15-20 @ Miami. 3t. 12 games - 10/14/2000 (28-14 @ Colorado) through 11/2/2002 (27-24 @ Nebraska). Road loss before the streak: 9/16/2000, 24-27 @ Stanford. Road loss ending the streak: 11/16/2002, 38-42 @ Texas Tech. Yes, this means that if we had beaten Texas Tech on 11/16/2002, we would have had a 29 game true road game winning streak. 5. 11 games - 11/5/2022 (34-27 @ Kansas State) through 11/30/2024 (17-7 @ Texas A&M). Road loss before the streak: 10/22/2022, 34-41 @ Oklahoma State. Road loss ending the streak: TBD.
  2. Because our team 3 years ago sucked. That team went 5-7 in the Big 12 so saying that they would have gone 6-6 in the SEC isn't the support for your argument you implied it is. The SEC is slightly better than all the other conferences every year but is tremendously oversold as a nightmare gauntlet of a schedule.
  3. Did you have this pre-written before the weekend? Might want to check yesterday's scores, Michigan didn't end up a .500 team.
  4. What about their first SEC seasons?
  5. Remind Ubben that Oklahoma is Texas's most hated rival. Texas A&M is our most annoying rival.
  6. Yes. And buy one thing at a time. Have him check you out, then remember the next thing and get back in his line. Over and over again. For an hour. Be petty. If your autistic son would like doing the checkout line over and over then bring him with you. If not then it's a solo trip.
  7. I watched SEC Football Tonight after the game for the first time. My favorite part was when the host guy said something like "a great job by Sark and Texas, you don't just come into this conference and waltz through the schedule, and they did just that" after one of the other guys says the standard stupidity about it being a gauntlet and it's just so tough week in and week out blah blah blah. These fucking idiots. Oklahoma sucks but the other three of the last 4 additions to the SEC: Missouri - Back-to-back CCG appearances in years 2 and 3 when their roster was full of Big 12 players Texas A&M - Best season in the SEC was their first season in 2012 when their roster was full of Big 12 players Texas - Reaches CCG in first season Based on history, coming in and waltzing through that gauntlet of a regular season schedule is EXACTLY what teams do.
  8. Lol what are you people watching sometimes? That 3rd down play was a miscommunication, it wasn't short armed. Ewers threw an out, Bond didn't cut out. This post and all the dumb ones blaming Ewers when Helm didn't look for the hot read on the first series. "All bad things are the QB's fault"
  9. Poor Broughton. Dominated his blocker and had it stuffed for a 3 yard loss but didn't get the glory because Burke was unblocked to stuff it for a 3.5 yard loss. What a performance by Broughton all night.
  10. The "start of the slide" is when the knee (or whatever body part other than a foot or hand) first goes down. In college it really doesn't even mean anything because you're always down then regardless of if a defender has touched you. Announcers started using it because of NFL games where that specific rule actually matters. It just means they don't get any of the yards that they slide forward.
  11. So you decided to post this right before we play Georgia in a neutral site game?
  12. I mean you're both right. It works unless he's just forcing it.
  13. You couldn't have waved a rhetorical white flag any more obviously if you had actually waved a white flag. What an incredible give-up reply.
  14. Hahaha Weird how everyone overcomes it. When a team plays big games at home and loses 90% of them, maybe it's not actually the huge homefield advantage they claim. Why in the world would the greatness of their homefield advantage be any different than the other thousand A&M lies about how great they are? Are you actually the one visiting moron who got directions to the field or something?
  15. It. Is. Overrated. Apologies to @Skipper but it's true. Somebody post the video of Herbstreit and Fowler in the car admitting it gets loud but it's not intimidating.
  16. That was bullshit in the press conference. He did not do that on purpose.
  17. We could be. We need better playcalling, better QB play, and better WR play from people not named Golden. But then again every team has some pretty big issues.
  18. Don't forget their "vacations" in Galveston because they're in debt up to their eyeballs to pay for their 4x4 with truck nuts.
  19. If you buy this you should remove yourself from the gene pool.
  20. Ryan Tannehill to Jeff Fuller is STILL the last offensive score for A&M against Texas.
  21. We somehow managed not to score in the second half. Bert killed our mojo. Fucking ginger.
  22. That's clearly mockery. Only slightly maybe acceptable version.
  23. Texas beats Texas A&M. Same as it ever was.
  24. Sarkisian should not be too proud. We should have won 30-0.
