  1. From Cedric Golden column today: Top-five meetings between Texas, A&M are rare: One would think the Horns and Aggies have met as top-five teams several times over the last half-century, but I had to go all the way back to 1975 to find the last time it happened. It was Darrell Royal’s penultimate season in Austin and the No. 5 Horns (9-1) were riding a five-game winning streak. They had recovered nicely from a 2417 loss to Oklahoma, but the No. 2 Aggies, coached by former Royal assistant Emory Bellard, were hotter. They were 9-0 and had won six games by double digits. As 56,679 packed Kyle Field — it was half the size it is now — things didn’t go well for the Horns. A&M linebacker Ed Simonini was all over the place and UT quarterback Marty Akins aggravated a knee injury. The Aggies keyed on Texas star running back Earl Campbell and celebrated a 20-10 win that gave them a clear path to a Southwest Conference title, a Cotton Bowl appearance and a chance for the program’s first national title since 1939. All they needed was a win at No. 18 Arkansas. Didn’t happen. The Razorbacks rolled 31-6 and created a three-way tie with Texas and A&M for the conference title. The Aggies ended up in the Liberty Bowl where they lost 20-0 to USC in what was Trojans coach John McKay’s final game.
  2. I don’t think there’s a class or substitute for common sense. I’ve had lots of employees over the years who worked for me….some extremely book smart and others with good common sense….I sometimes wonder if common sense, if you had to choose one, would be the way to go.
  3. Was he on a bicycle?
  4. Are we looking at an Australian punter yet? If not, why not?
  5. Quinn’s only as good as the offensive line doing their job.
  6. I think all of Vandy’s drives were 30 or so yards, except the last one at the end of the game…those tipped passes interceptions gave them great opportunities…Quinn needs to stop those tips…somehow.
  7. Right…..who do we think we are…..aggy?
  8. LSU did not prepare for QB Reed and his option running…..I don’t think a defense can just suddenly change, but I’d like to think LSU would have a much better job than they have…..those interceptions have changed a lot of the game.
  9. Print the t-shirts!
  10. Oh…he will.
  11. Marcel will get figured out….and those skinny legs are gonna get wrapped up…..in due time.
  12. How many of those 5* defensive linemen does aggy still have?
  13. Don’t count LSU out of this game.
  14. Maybe aggy fans will start throwing bottles on the field!
  15. https://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/sports/mack-brown-expected-to-exit-gracefully-from-north-carolina-job-per-report/ Mack Brown expected to exit gracefully….. NOW….he decides to do it.
  16. Quinn needs to put some air under the ball….like he does inside the 40 yard line…..which gives the receiver the ability to adjust and go up for it…as needed. Haha….we got this.
  17. I think that was Ted Cruz….in disguise!
  18. Rag-tag effort….Guess Elliott had no answer. Sucks….especially to aggy….
  19. Can’t get a serve in…..gzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
  20. End it here…..need a big run.
