  1. BTW, Texas needs to run an offense (and defense) that best helps a player get to the next level but helps a team win championships.
  2. IMHO. Teas football will be great again once it takes to heart again the old DKR saying "Trends are bunk, only angry people win football games!!?"
  3. Penn State only finished 2 points behind us in the final BCS poll before the bowl season and the CCG. This poll occurred right after our lackluster performance that years against aggy, a team with a losing record playing without their starting QB. Had Penn State not lost to Michigan that year, they would have likely jumped us. Big 10 was considered to be a stronger conference that year.
  4. I have no problem with the 2005 Texas football team being on top. However, if Michigan QB Chad Henne does not throw that last second TD pass vs Penn State then the Niittany Lions go to the BCS Championship game that year against USC, It would have not matter one bit that we defeated Ohio State on their home field that year.
  5. Happy Birthday Wishbone!! Here are some highlights from the late 60s. BTW, I became a Longhorn fan during that period. Not that I had a choice, I was born into a family of Orangebloods. 1968 Texas Football Highlights 1969 Texas Football Highlights This offense was literally unstoppable when it first came out once the kinks were worked out. It literally demoralized opponent by just running over them and trouncing them.
  6. I completely agree with Texas Pete Let me also add that there is absolutely no upside to playing aggy again/ Nothing but a win-win for them and the SEC if this rivalry revives again annually. It benefits aggy(and the SEC) whether they win or lose. For decades now, we've always told aggy that OU is our big rival and that it was unique one. Now some of you want to put aggy on the same plane as OU and play them every year with the hopes of shutting them up. C'mon folks, we all know that aggy never shuts up. They're insufferable when they win and even worse whey they lose. Texas vs A&M = Michigan vs Michigan State. BTW, Ohio State gets away with just one rival. Why can't we?
  7. BTW, I always thought of our rivalry with aggy drawing comparisons to Michigan-Michigan State. If the Spartans went to another conference. Michigan would drop them in a heartbeat, The only people who wants this rivalry back are aggy,. UT people who have aggy relatives and Longhorn haters out there who are pissed that we won the last game.
  8. My question is: Where are the sportswriters out there trying to curb aggy expectations? I haven't seen anything yet. Has anyone else? If this was UT. there would be all sorts of articles written telling Longhorn fans to curb their enthusiasm.
  9. I followed college football for almost 50 years so I have several favorite blowouts. If I have to pick only one, it would be SMU beating Cougar High 41-16 in 1992. Greatest revenge game ever!! One of the best side stories was that the SMU team gave the game ball to Jerry Glanville who I believes ran up the score on aggy Pardee in 1990. SMI Turns It Around On Houston
  10. I voted for Augie as well but don't forget that Coach Gus took us to Omaha 17 times
  11. Remember, aggy never loses. They just run out of Outs.
  12. My List: G Rajon Rondo G Isiah Thomas C Hakeem Olajawon F Karl Malone F Eduardo Najera
  13. Wow, there must be a very young crowd in here, No mention of the fact that Bill Yeoman;s only son Gary played for UT in the early 1970s. For the record, Gary Yeoman walked on at UT even after Coach Royal pulled his scholarship offer to him. I guess he really didn't want to play for dear old Dad. Naturally Bill Yeoman was't happy about it and took potshots at UT until he retired. Other than Jackie Sherrill, Bill Yeoman was a coach I would just love to absolutely run up the score on. His actions against Tulsa in 1968 and Rice in 1978 just spoke volumes on his character. It was absolute karma that both Tulsa and Rice beat him in his last year.
