  1. I was hoping to add an extra pair this season, but there weren't any close by that were together.  But I did manage to add a single seat directly behind the row of my current 2 seats.  So now I have 3 total.   

    I'm a little concerned about how difficult the single seat will be to sell on games where I can't attend--does anyone have experience with selling a single seat ticket for games?  It's a decent sent-- lower level about 15 rows up on the 30, east side.

  2. I already made a thread about this (but it got deleted because there are so many shell-shook pussies on this board).  Texas WILL be in the playoff.  It will be made official tomorrow at noon.  Bama beating Georgia sealed that outcome for us.  Let me spell it out for you.

    The committee has continuously communicated with their weekly rankings that they value the Texas head-to-head win over Bama, and the committee specifically reiterated the importance of head-to-head THIS WEEK.  They’ve been very consistent in keeping Texas ranked ahead of Bama ALL season.  There’s no reason at all to assume that the committee will change up now.  Most of the talking heads have Texas at #3 right now and believe that the #4 spot is a battle between Bama and FSU.  We are fucking good this year.  The national media and public perception of Texas has finally realized it (granted, the Oregon and Georgia losses helped with this--resulting in less total cock for the media to gobble).  

    The bottom line is, we are going to the playoff.  The only real question at this point is whether we'll be playing Michigan in the Rose Bowl or Washington in the Sugar Bowl.  I don't know who the committee will pick between FSU and Bama and frankly I don't care.  I think it'd be LOLhilarious if the SEC missed out on the playoff in the final year of the 4-team format (which is a very real possibility).

  3. Wow, doing the parlay every week as an emotional hedge is brilliant.  Glad at least you’re making some lemonade out of all this.  What has the payoff been like?

    We may miss out on the CFP this year, but you’re right in that 4 events still remain that conceivably could put Texas in.  And I don’t think there’s ever been a ccg week before that didn’t have at least one crazy upset.  For it to not happen again this week would be another first in an already low probability series of firsts.  
     

    We just need to take care of our business, snatch the big 12 crown, and promptly shove it up yormark’s ass on our way out the door. Whether we’re in the CFP or cotton bowl doesn’t make a shit.  This is a great team and it has been an awesome ride.  The future is bright.

  4. We only have to suffer 1 more game with Big 12 refs, and then we'll be done with that horseshit forever.  If we win next week, I like our chances in whatever bowl game against anyone.

    What we really need is FSU to lose but that's not happening. 

    Why not?  FSU has shown themselves to be mortal.  They won't lose this weekend, but I think there's a reasonable likelihood that they lose to Florida or even that they'll be upset by Louisville in the ACC CCG.

    I feel bad about still having anger for Gideon dropping the INT in 2008 Tech game. He didn't lose the game - Mack and GDD did that - but he woulda coulda and shulda won it for us, and failed to do so.

    Well, that and then intercepting the Bama fake punt pass when letting it hit the turf woulda coulda shoulda given us thirty or so yards better field position.

    Somehow, those two things lead me to feel uneasy about his abilities at coaching any dbacks.

    I don't feel bad about still having this anger.  Gideon cost us 2 national titles. Colt doesn't get injured if we aren't having to make up that extra 30 yards in lost field position.

    Also some you sound like old ass bitches . Ten years of shit turned some of yall into Texags memebers. "I dont take shots like that, wwaaaa, its for girlss waaa are you going to paint ypur face?? Waaa, dont move sections its notvl fair waaaaaa"  Youll take whatever is given to you, and like it. Its OU wekend got damn it, act like it. 

    Your writing style is very obnoxious. Self-identifying as a hell raiser and then shadow boxing online against amorphous “blue hairs” isn’t going to garner you a lot of sympathy.

     

    You paid for the seats, that’s where you should sit.  Maybe Texas will make all the OU fans leave at halftime again and you’ll have the run of their end of the cotton bowl to yourself.  Either way, I think youll be in better company than you realize.  Being as drunk and obnoxious as possible is the sooner love language.

    I’m saying this year- if we lose- will be by far the most painful RRS loss of my 33 years as a Texas fan. Maybe tied with 2004. Depends on how it goes down.  

    That 2004 loss was the lowest I'd ever felt after a TX/OU game.  I felt so sick and empty.  It was utterly desolate. 

    If we lose on Saturday, I won't feel as bad as I did in 2004 because I know that this year we will have the opportunity to rematch the fuckers and likely make the playoff anyway.  In all likelihood, we will have to play them twice this year regardless.  This game is still everything, and our team will treat it as such.  But beating them in the cotton bowl is not the end of the story this year, as far as us playing OU is concerned.

    I don't know what to think about this game.  OU has a good schematic offense, but the defenses that they have played against so far are not in the same stratosphere as what they will see from us on Saturday.  So their usual tricks won't find near as much success against us.  But they are definitely high on themselves and believing that they are better than we are.  I get the sense that they will experience a rude awakening on Saturday... but it's a heated rivalry game so who the fuck really knows at the end of the day.

    I view this game as kind of the reverse situation of 2011 or 2012... in both of those seasons we had good starts to the year (eg, some dominant wins and media hype) and we rolled into Dallas against a higher ranked OU team believing that we were going to pull the upset because we were pretty good too.  In both years, we got our asses completely handed to us, and our hopes and dreams for the season came quickly crashing down.  That could be the fate of this OU team after Saturday.  I think they still have a ways to go to being elite status again, but I think that Texas is already there (finally).  We lost 55-14 and 63-21, respectively in 2011 and 2012.  Let's just say that we "flip the script" this time, to borrow a phrase that Brent Venables has really tried popularizing this week about his team.

     

    Texas 52

    OU 21

    Texas rushes for 238.

    Lots of impressive things about this team, but maybe the most impressive is how much better the average player is today vs the average player 3 years ago.  Especially on the lines. It’s a fucking stark difference.

    Do you mean... it's a SARK difference?

    I thought Bama would get rolled. But need them to keep winning so I’ll allow it 

    We don't "need" them to keep winning.  Texas needs to keep winning.  That is all that matters.

  11. I’m surprised I’ve never heard of this term before now.  When I heard RG3 say it, I thought he just made up a silly word to describe doubters.  It seems that a lot of people are like me.  For that reason, I think him getting fired over this is unlikely.

    I received the same email and thought I didn't get part of the allotted tickets only to get the 2nd email later in the day that my order was processed and card would be charged by the end of the week. A little irritated by the confusion because in between emails I bought 2 after market tickets through ticketmaster in Section 115 Row 4 on the Alamo Bowl website. Depending on where my allotted tickets are I'm selling one pair. I just want my $$ back, so if anyone wants 2 tickets PM me. 

     I saw the tweet regarding sold out Alamo tickets allotment, but I still have yet to receive any e-mail giving an indication in either direction.  I never got a "Your order is being processed..." or a "We're all sold out..." e-mail.  I think I'll just continue to wait and see what happens at the end of this week.  Worst case, I guess I can just buy after-market tickets as it gets closer to kickoff.
