  1. So I called my pops at halftime to wish him a happy birthday, and we were up 16-14. We get to talking for a while, and then I come back in the room at the start of the fourth quarter, and we're now up 37-14? Dayyyyum. I'll have to rewatch the third quarter now. Guess I should leave the room more often when Texas is playing.
  2. Winning is hard.
  3. Does anything you've seen over the last 13 months give you any reason to believe the results in 2-4 years will be any different? I want Herman to succeed, but at the moment, the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.
  4. Watching Arkansas get thumped by a directional school in Texas is...borderline erotic.
  5. Well, if it's any consolation, we are probably the best school named "University of Texas." I mean, we have to be better than UTEP, UTSA, UTPB, etc. Right?
  6. I'm going to be watching tonight, mainly just out of total curiosity. It's kind of like driving past a horrible car accident...you know you shouldn't look at it, but dammit if you can't help yourself. I hope to God I'm very wrong about this. Damn Texas, I wish I could quit you.
  7. USC - 35 Texas - 17 Texas continues the trend of killing themselves with turnovers and stupid penalties.
  8. I hate Herbstreit, but given that Kansas is buttfucking Rutgers right now while we haven't been able to stop tripping over our dicks for the last two weeks in a row, it's not at all unreasonable to pick USC over Texas.
  9. Gotta give Jimbo a lot of credit. He knew when to cash out of that place and substantially improve his financial situation at the same time, at aggy's expense.

    Apathy

    I took my son to see the Oregon Ducks destroy Portland State at Autzen yesterday. (We got free tickets.) It was refreshing to watch a decent football team thoroughly dominate an opponent that they should have thoroughly dominated. I know the Ducks still have some issues as a team, but Cristobal is a quality coach who will probably have that team playing in a high-profile bowl game way sooner than Herman ever will. The worst part was, I had no idea when the Texas game even kicked off yesterday. I have reached that level of apathy. Where I once planned my Saturdays around Texas football, now it is simply just a sad side note. When I checked the score late yesterday and saw that Texas had barely squeaked by Tulsa, I wasn't even all that surprised. I can see aggy, Zero U, LSU, and TCU all beating us out for recruits in the next few years unless something drastically changes. Feels like we are in for some very dark times ahead. Makes me sad.
  11. Well, look on the bright side. At least Rice, UTEP, and UTSA won't outrecruit us in Texas. Well, I hope, anyway...
  12. At this point, I'd almost settle for having Charlie and Shawn Watson back. Almost. Unbelievable that we found a coach dumber than Watson to run our offense.
  13. - Nope. - Who knows? - So far, so good. - FML
