Anyone who wants to whine about Texas’ opponents can take a look at how they do against teams not named Texas and compare that to how they do against Texas and see if any pattern emerges.
These dumbfucks could watch prime Tyson destroy spares and still wonder if he’s “really” good.
Texas has done exactly what you’d expect an elite team to do, and more, against whoever lines up against them. If Texas were struggling with Bowling Green or Idaho or needed two bailouts from the officials, fine. Texas has dominated two blue bloods and rolled everyone else and has done so while building depth and using pretty plain gameplans.
Texas may lose at some point. It’s hard to go unbeaten even as the favorite. If Texas loses, it won’t be because they finally got challenged. Sometimes shit happens. But if supposed experts can look at this team and the way it has played and not recognize what’s going on here, whatever the competition, they’re not being honest or they don’t know what to look for.
That’s cool. I’m just saying I wouldn’t initiate a roster quiz before allowing someone to stuff money in the program’s pocket. There’s no real downside and I don’t think it makes anyone “trash.” The fact that it pisses off Aggies is a bonus.
Because if non-alums like a school’s team it demonstrates popularity and acceptance across large swaths of ages, locations, incomes, and backgrounds. Then you have to think through why your school’s team doesn’t really have that.
Maybe my daughter could get a chance to grill him and when he said that she could say, “I don’t know… I’m 24 and you haven’t even played in one in my lifetime.”
A lot of people give a fuck about many aspects of Texas football. I can tell by the two exclamation points that you’re super excited for a win, but talking about other things doesn’t really affect that.
I don’t think I could survive Texas beating A&M in the regular season, beating them in the SEC championship game, and then knocking them out of the playoffs on the way to a national championship. I’m willing to risk it, though.
Yeah, exactly. THAT is why you have the 12 guys, not to get them to call the penalty. I mean, ideally in that situation you want the stop and no penalty. There’s no scenario in which you want to make an effort to get the penalty seen. You’re gambling that the extra guy prevents a play longer than the penalty yardage.
So you don’t look like a dumbass.
“Could” doing a lot of work in a scenario with a vanishingly small chance to reoccur.
When either way is not a great look, I’d opt for the one that didn’t make me look like a dumbass. Which is what it looks like Lanning chose, as well.
More or less, what sets Texas apart is they have guys who treat every play like it might be the play. Loves Bolden’s effort and the recovery. Loves Wingo getting up to block on the long TD run.
If Ewers shows up with his head on straight against Georgia, it might just go pretty well. Texas probably left 21 points on the field. OU has an upper tier defense and even apart from eventually moving the ball up and down on it, there were gash plays to be made that weren’t. And some hesitations — probably overthinking not creating turnovers — that would have made things smoother.
The plays were there to be worse than 49-0 and OU probably doesn’t score without camping out for a quarter in Texas’ end. This was maybe a C game on offense and Texas won by 31. Looking for Ewers to wreck shop on Saturday.
