maybe

but I just don’t want a 2 yard tunnel screen to go for 65 yards

 

I don’t want a crossing route or a bomb going for 65 yards. The points all count the same. This is a good tackling team. I’ll take a chance on containing the dink and dunk versus getting smoked by the best WR off the line.

Im mean i'm all for it and everything,  but interesting attire choice for a drive from Knoxville to Tucson.  

Well, she's still got it goin' ... and likes to dress stylishly hot (pretty much at all times in public). 

Plus, the A/C in the rented Jeep Wrangler was keeping it cool.

Implied ... at all the hotel stops between DC and Tucson.

To give the posters upthread some credit, Texas at Florida is certainly a big game for Texas fans. It’s most likely because the game is earlier in the season, but it feels like more Texas fans are planning road trips to The Swamp than to Athens.

Gerry brings up an OTF broadcast from Spurrier’s every podcast. There’s palpable excitement on our side.

The swamp hits different than cougar high and waco high.

One of the best things about the move to the sec is now we have only three conference teams who want to beat us more than any other team on their schedule and will focus and prepare accordingly.  
 

In the Big 12 it was 9 teams a year.  And it made our schedule more difficult than it appeared on paper.  

Also neutral refs helps

Yeah, an average aggy square showed us what we've got waiting for us at the vaunted swamp. Marcel Reed looked better there than he does against air.

Speaking of.  In Scipio's latest version of his Texas football mag - at least I think it's Scipio - he states that some dude did a study in 2020 where college fans were polled about their biggest rival.  I believe Texas was the response for 9; the next closest 3.  I'm wracking my brain.  What are the 9?

aggy

arky - LSU?

Tech - should be aggy

Baylor

Houston

TCU - should be SMU

OU, Rice  and SMU.  TCU SMU in my opinion only got big after dissolution of SWC , could be wrong though.  In the case of Rice and some others, it could also be who do you want to beat the most rather than biggest 'rival'.

You see dear little Rimbo, when a man really loves a woman, or really loves a man, or really loves a they them or their, they do things that just friends don’t do, well unless they are friends with benefits in which case they do the things that a man who loves a woman, or loves a man, or loves they them or their would do, except they might do it more because, well it’s less complicated, but anyway, one day you’ll know all about it when your 45 years old.

The only team whose hate we reciprocate equally is OU. The only other team that comes close is A&M. All the other teams hate us and we don't think about them at all.

I think I remember that article. There were some insane responses. West Virginia I believe was the surprise team of the 9.

WVU

piggy

aggy

OU

Tech

TCU

Baylor 

Coug High 

Rice


That’s my best guess. If Okie State, Iowa State, and Kansas State listed Texas the their primary rival during the dark Big 12 era after 2011, it wouldn’t shock me.

 OSU fans and mods aren't expecting any of that, but the majority seem to think that the Texas defense is going to be markedly worse than the one 9 months ago

Here’s what I think the sports talkers and retail bettors picking OSU are missing:

1. OSU is trotting out a QB that has never started a game (and taken fewer than 20 game snaps) against a defense that has perhaps the best pass rush and front 7 in the country.  Defense travels.

2. OSU OL is still under construction against said defense.

3. OSU has new coordinators on both sides of the ball. An OC that got demoted and a DC hasn’t coached a defense in years and never in college.  It’s the first game for both.

4. Texas has a more proven RB room.

5. Sark is a wizard on the road, home field is getting too much emphasis.

6. OSU DL is not deep.  We saw how that worked out for Michigan.

I don’t see Sayin getting comfortable at all and Texas will be able to run the ball much more effectively, especially later in the game once the OSU DL depth issues take hold.  I still have 2010-2022 PTSD and am generally not optimistic about what I’m going to see on any particular Saturday but this matchup really seems to favor the Longhorns.

78-0 over aggy is the minimum acceptable pleasing result

True.

Losing to them, however, is torture. 

I will be happy to not be forced to listen to them bleat about having scoreboard for a year.
