I received my tickets without first receiving an email.
For those who also purchased LSU single game tickets— what was their face value?
-
I was at the cotton bowl following the 2002 season where we played LSU. LSU finished the season technically ranked higher than us in the BCS, thus making them the “home” team, but we got to wear our orange jerseys anyway because LSU elected to wear white (as the home team). Fun day. I’d expect them to do the same next year at home, but it’d be cool to see them in purple for a change.

We’re getting close now bitches.

My tickets arrived in the mail today. Pumped for the season. 🤘🏻

Nah, I wouldn’t do it. I have a pretty good life right now as it is, and longhorn football in the fall makes that season so much sweeter every year. If I had to give up longhorn football, that’s a fourth of every year greatly diminished for the rest of my life. And what’s the point of money when all the rest is gone?

What a fucking pussy. He needs to be ridiculed relentlessly until the day he dies. By everyone.This. What a loser. At that point in the game, I immediately turned to my buddy and said “I’d like to welcome you to the Vince Young Show.” And the rest was history.

Dropped the one he should have caught and caught the one he should have dropped. Cost us 2 national championships. Fuck.

I agree. Beat LSU and all the doors will be opened before us.

I would do this. I'm just not sure how to edit the thread title.

2018 was a fucking amazing season after wandering the desert for nearly a decade. Texas is back. Yes we are. I haven't been this excited for what's to come since probably the 2008 off season. That said, fuck the off season. But now seems as good of a time as any to look forward into our 2019 football schedule and talk a little bit about what we should expect to see. So here it is:
Aug. 31 - Louisiana Tech
This is our home opener, and believe me our team will still be riding the high from their win over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. We're going to prepare well and we will win this one comfortably. This will be the first time we've comfortably won an opener since... 2014.
Sep. 7 - LSU
This is the game. LSU will be ranked top 10 to start next season. But so will we. This is the game that will put us squarely in the discussion for a CFP appearance, or will take us out of that discussion completely. I really hope that our players treat this game like our 2005 players treated the Ohio State game. The parallels are there. Ehlinger confidently declared in front of the country on Jan. 1, 2019, that "we're back." I'd love for him to take another page from VY's playbook this summer, before two-a-days begin, and write on the locker room white board something similar to "Anyone who wants to beat (LSU), meet me at (practice location) for drills."
Sep. 14 - @Rice (NRG Stadium)
This will be a workman's win. Rice does not have the horses to compete.
Sep. 21 - Oklahoma State
This game is actually huge. We have not beaten OkSt since the 2014 season. If we're going to make a splash next season, we absolutely have to win this game. It will set the tone for conference play. OkSt will be breaking in a new quarterback, as their veteran Cornelius will be out of eligibility. If we complete this first stretch 4-0, we can start to be very giddy about the rest to come.
Sep. 28 - BYE
A much needed bye week to prepare us for a test in Morgantown before the RRS.
Oct. 5 - @West Virginia
Like OkSt, WVU will be breaking in a new quarterback (and possibly a new coach if the UH rumors are true). WVU has looked pedestrian without Grier, and we will be favored. Our team will want to leave no doubt this year after the way WVU conducted themselves last year in Austin. No doubt that Ehlinger has this one circled on his calendar.
Oct. 12 - Oklahoma (Cotton Bowl)
This is the other game. Like OkSt and WVU, OU will be breaking in a new quarterback (and also possibly a new coach if the NFL rumors are true). We will be favored, but nothing is guaranteed against OU. This is our rival and we will need to play our very best to get it done. Fortunately, I feel more confident playing OU under Herman than I have under any other Texas coach in the past 20 years.
Oct. 19 - Kansas
This will be another workman's win.
Oct. 26 - @TCU
Although TCU still has a big question mark at quarterback, Patterson won't stay down for long, and he will have TCU ready to play us. This game represents the finale of the second act of our season, and I expect our team to leave it all on the field and play well enough to win.
Nov. 2 - BYE
Another much needed (and rare) additional bye week for the season to prepare us for the final stretch.
Nov. 9 - Kansas State
KSU will be breaking in a new coach, and we get them in Austin. We will be favored.
Nov. 16 - @Iowa State
This is going to be the toughest game in the last stretch of our season. ISU can beat anyone in Ames. Fortunately, we match up very well against prostyle teams like ISU, and Herman has a wonderful track record so far against this squad.
Nov. 23 - @Baylor
At this point in the season, we will just need to not fuck up. We'll be big favorites in our final two games. Stay focused and play well.
Nov. 29 - Texas Tech
Ditto.
What's most interesting about next season is the way it's broken down... we have two bye weeks, which essentially trifurcate our season into 3 four-game mini-seasons. That's how the team and coaching staff will approach them, anyway. And I think it will work to our advantage. We should also be favored in every game we play. That hasn't happened since 2009. The Big XII overall will be down. Our defense will probably take a step back next season with the loss of so many seniors, but our offense should be better with a continually improving offensive line, and it will be scary good if LJH and CJ both return. I think Ehlinger will play a big part in convincing those two to stay.
The bottom line is that we proved ourselves as a very good team this year, and we are returning most of those pieces next season. While we are good and only improving, our competition will be slightly worse and rebuilding. This is a prime opportunity to make a serious run at the conference title, and even a CFP berth. We have a realistic shot at making the CFP next year for these reasons. Will we be as good as Clemson and Bama? No way. But we have a favorable schedule and enough talent and grit to run the table and slide into one of the CFP slots, hinging on how we perform in the LSU game.
Frankly, anything less than a conference title next season will be a disappointment. And I am looking for us to make noise in the CFP discussion as well. Happy New Year, everybody.

Looks like we saved our best game of the season for the sugar bowl. 30 more minutes.

Points are really all that matters. This isn’t Oklahoma we’re playing.

Fuck yeah, welcome back boys. Let’s fucking do this.

Don’t know why we didn’t go for it on 4th and 11 at their 40. Of course they were going to score after a punt. The extra 15 yards we made them drive wasnt worth it.
-
We’re going to beat these motherfuckers and next year appear in the CFP. This is going to be our Michigan Rose Bowl.
Chooo chooo, fuck ou. 🤘🏻

From my office in downtown Dallas, tickets in hand to the CCG tomorrow...
TEXAS!!!!!
If our team is half as fired up as I am, they are going to play out of their minds.

I'm gonna throw shit if we win the toss, defer, and let them score a TD in 2-3 minutes like we did in 6 other games this season including the first OU game.
Look, this is probably exactly what's going to happen. But it's okay. That's also how the game started in 2008 and 2018.

Fielding ideas for the next clap back.
Just write "sucks" across the image face.
Alternatively, draw a huge dick inserting itself into the "O"

I think the big key is going to be the first quarter and how quickly Texas can punch back.
This. We have to win the first quarter. Against OU in particular, I think winning the first quarter is actually more important than winning the fourth. Basically I hope we can execute our gameplan from October (minus the turtling at the end) as well on Saturday as we did in the previous game.

We always need to beat our rival, but this particular game... and this particular quarterback of theirs... we just have to win.
Kyler Murray represents everything that our University and team fucking despise---he's aggy; he's a sooner; he handled his recruiting with us in a distasteful way; and he's an entitled, poor sport, bitch ass, prima donna who will not lay it on the line for his team. He has quarterbacked our rival to a top 5 ranking and a potential playoff berth. But we have the opportunity to shut all of that shit down on Saturday like Stonie Clark at the goal line. We have to win.
After last season, I thought there would never be another sooner quarterback that I would dislike more than Baker Mayfield, but here we are. Baker was a douchenozzle turned to 11, but he was a hell of a team player who laid it on the line for his team every week, which I respected. Kyler is a fucking mercenary, soldier of fortune, and nothing more. His head is also more inflated than Dolly Parton's breasts. The reason he couldn't bring himself to even remotely acknowledge Ehlinger's capable quarterback play is because, in Kyler's mind, Ehlinger is so far beneath him that he simply cannot deign to entertain a discussion that puts his name in the same sentence with another quarterback's. Kyler must stand alone (even if just barely to 5 feet).
The game on Saturday is just another stop on the road for Kyler and his team. Kyler believes it is his entitled destiny to win a CFP title "just for funsies" before he heads off to MLB next year. For our team, however, this game is basically our season. It's already been established as extremely likely that we are landing in the Sugar Bowl regardless of this game's outcome, but winning a Big 12 title is something we haven't done in nearly a decade, and winning it this year would exorcise a lot of demon monkeys that have been on our back since we lost Colt against Alabama. I believe that this game simply means more to us than it means to them. And it means a hell of a lot to them, considering what's on the line. We have to win.
Fuck Kyler Murray, fuck his team, and fuck his entitled destiny. I wish him the best in baseball, but in football he needs to get the fuck off my field. This is our time (and it's been a long fucking time). Although we already beat his ass in October, Kyler, his team, and all their fans, are absolutely certain that the October outing was a fluke. It was not. They are relishing in their opportunity to prove that it was a fluke. They will be disappointed. This is the game that will officially mark the shifting of power in the Big 12 back into our favor. OU's star is fading; after this season they will be without a quarterback and possibly even without a head coach. With a win on Saturday, we can proudly and confidently utter the phrase that has been little more than a meme for the past several seasons. You know the one.
We have to win. There just really is no other option. See you in Arlington.
