I was super confident we got Florida at a horrible time for them last season. It takes a lot out of a team to get on a plane and go into a different time zone. If you add that up with other timing considerations, I believe it can be a real factor. I loved USC over Michigan last weekend. Put them in a bowl game at a neutral site and I think its totally different.

Ahhh indeed. I forget theyre back in the Big 12.

I'm trying to think of a single Big 12 away game better than Lexington. Only thing I have is Arizona/Utah to even compete and of course that never applied to us. Keeneland as a tailgating spot and precursor to the game is so good. I hope as many Texas fans make it out there as possible because they will definitely want to go back. Thats a very elite Saturday.

Yea at some point theres not a lot you can take from it as a fan. You just hope the staff sees the film and says, damn, we have to make some changes. I also suspect Florida has our number as a staff, and they showed sme really good stuff against us on the interior last season. We just blew them off the field on the outsides.

Texas Football 2025 - Seven Win Steve Rides Again

I always wondered about him when he jumped from Waco to DeSoto. Thats a big jump and he was a star for DeSoto. Feels like we used to miss those guys consistently. Now he's a bully in the RRS. -
We would have beaten Florida if our o line performance was marginally better. We are good, Florida is not. I dont think our performance there is who we are, but I think what happened is what happened. My guess is Sark took the attitude of we are the thermostat and not the thermometer, and he didnt change anything leading up to the Florida game. We get smoked on the lines, he makes the adjustments, and we play much better against OU. But thats a capitulation of the team identity, we choose what happens.

Dude we got buttfucked in the trenches against Florida. I watched the tape many times. It was so bad I felt like it was at least partially an aberration and that we would rebound, and we did. I picked us to beat OU. But our O Line got destroyed, and our D line got neutralized.

I also think the people on here who have noticed a lack of leadership in the locker room are correct, and I think Baxter is the guy thats missing. If he hadnt been injured and was out doing his thing, I think the offense as a whole would be more cohesive not just from his production but from his attitude and presence in the huddle and on the field. Him on the sidelines is a major loss for Sark. -

Whittington is such a great story. So much potential and he showed great maturity throughout the rehab process. It really does sound like Baxter is cut from similar fabric mentally, just a matter of his body rebounding. I don't think anyone knows with these athletes, some people can heal and some people either cant heal their injury or it leads to weakness in another area that sidelines them further. I don't think anyone has the full picture with Baxter yet, but it seems obvious we cant count on him being who we recruited. I think its a guarantee we go big game hunting for a rb in the portal for next season. -
Glad its going well. Hang in there. Hopefully tinnitus subsides, Ive dealt with it in the past. Can wear you down.

Hows treatment going?

OU Football 2025 - League Average & Loving It

They're gonna blame it all on Venables and then reality is gonna hit during the next guy. -
I think they are better than OU and there's a reasonable chance (still less than 50%) they come into Austin with a trip to the SECCG on the line. I think we will be out of it after a loss to UGA, but that we will finish this season by completely rocking them defensively like last year.

They did what they could in the offseason. They are limited. It's going to be a joy watching the rest of this season play out for them. I think we get Brad Vegetables one more time. -
So jealous of anyone going to this game. Lexington is great.
