    It will be interesting to see if he sticks around after his kids are done.  I kind of doubt it.  He seems to be doing this for them, and more power to him!

    The way he kicked off all the scholarship players when he got to CU, no way he sticks around. Shit, I could see him getting an offer at a big school before his kids leave, and just having them follow him.

    That's not a sleight on Deion Sanders, btw. College football is ruthless and it's a world where you can get fired in year 2 if you suck bad enough as a coach. He's treating College Football like the billion dollar business it is, and power to him for navigating it well. I'd do the exact same thing if I could.

    I was at UT in the early 80s. It started slowly (either when I was in school or right after) with OU, then Arkisaw. All I remember about about aggy picking it up later is that it seemed weird. 

    Funnily enough, the first documented example of the Horns Down comes from Baylor of all places. There was a front page Daily Texan from 1963 showing a Baylor fan doing the Horns Down. It presumably dates back at least 8 more years, but that is the first photographic evidence of the horns down.

    NSIAP. While I was looking at responses in that thread, I saw this. George Teague is crying about some of our players merely walking across or being on the Bama logo at midfield. Absolutely nothing disrespectful happening there at all. What a bitch.

     

    LOL the game must have extra hurt because the horns marched up and down that logo all night.

    Someone said that Texas was not flying the B12 flags on the east side versus Rice. Can anyone confirm? Would love for this to be the case and for CDC to give Yormark seats in our student section or right in the middle of the band for the game.

    a pic was posted in the game thread last week by someone who was there. The flags are indeed gone.

    Careful here gentlemen - after the ND win where Charlie String was put on shoulders we had this phenomenon and we all know how that tuned out. 

    No. Even if this is somehow a bad Alabama team, the win is still entirely different. We needed two overtimes to barely beat a bad Notre Dame team at home by a margin of inches that year. That is not at all how this victory went. Texas needed only 3 quarters and 15 seconds to beat the shit out of Alabama on the road.

    No matter the opponents record, entirely different quality of wins.

  6. The Eyes of Texas are twinkling

    "There was nothing fluky about this victory folks. From the start to the finish, UT was the better team and arguably, the better coached, prepared team, which is a vote of confidence Texas coach Steve Sarkasian has not heard very often the past few years."

  7. Enjoy the fuck out of this.

    First one up:

     

    With masterful closing moments at Alabama, Texas finds a fresh peak

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2023/09/09/texas-beats-alabama/

    "TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Texas, first down at the its 30-yard line, 7:14 left, Texas ahead 34-24, C.J. Baxter runs left, three yards . . .

    Texas couldn’t really run out all this clock here on Alabama’s home field, could it?"

  8. They weren't perfect, but good fucking god the SEC refs last night were so much better than any reffing I've ever seen out of the Big 12. There is no fucking way the Big 12 would have gotten that muffed sneak call right. It was also wild seeing Bama get called for holding against Texas, even if they still missed a ton.

    Me too. 

    He isn't going to have a lot of games where there's 800 pounds of War Daddies running right at him from the instant he takes the snap.

    I actually felt like Milroe was the only bright spot on offense for Bama. They basically did not have a functional offense, Texas completely shut them down and they couldn't do anything. Whatever offense they managed came almost exclusively from Milroe making chicken salad. As a pure gamer scrambling QB, he's actually pretty good.

    SIAP. Any speculation on the polls this week? I expect to -- at the very least -- jump Tennessee and move up 2 spots. Does Alabama drop to 11?

    A bunch of AP rags have put out their polls aready. Texas is between 3-5 in nearly all out so far with a few even having Texas as high as 2, and alabama has been 11 in all I've seen. I'd expect Bama at 11 and Texas at 4 once the actual ap rankings drop.

    This was my favorite part of the game last night.  In years past I feel like this team lets mistakes get in their heads.  Everyone shook it off and made a big play to make up for it.

    The whole team supports itself. My favorite example is when, after 3 quarters of basically stellar defensive play, Bama took the lead, only for the offense to finally ignite and light up Bama. Felt like the offense had the defense's back and vice versa. The pressure wasn't on any single unit or person. Everybody shined.
