With all due respect, those certainly sound like excuses. Down here, the sad truth is, we lost our games cause we sucked. The team was soft, gave up, made stupid errors, wasn't conditioned enough, and the coaches played big games not to lose. VY taught the school how to win. I hope we didn't...

Wolverine blues This may seem a bit random, but I'm surprised that Wolverine fans never seem to post on this thread. Is it that they don't care, or that they are jealous that they don't have the spotlight the way OSU does? I know OU fans often post on UT sites discussing matters with other...

I wasn't referring to the OSU game. I was talking about the opening game against North Denton High. I think a blowout varies by the opposition. If Texas beats North Texas by 4 scores, I suppose that's a blowout. If a highly ranked team beats another highly ranked team by three scores, that could...

I hope the Horns don't think the game will be a blowout. More games (and wars) have been lost to overconfidence than to anything else.

Thanks. LOL.

Longhorn stampedes were often started by the seemingly smallest things--like a steer stepping on a twig, or an bird. Suddenly, an entire herd would take off, trampling the poor cowboys who happened to be in the way. They were really mean, tough and not terribly enjoyable to eat, to be honest. It...

Mascots It's time for the dreaded comparison of the Mascots. In this regard, Texas has the clear advantage. The image of the Longhorn is ingrained deep in the American conciousness. It is part of the mythology of the most defining American experience--the conquering of the West by the uniqely...

Yes, they lost their conference championship game--to A&M.

\ I wasn't knocking you--I couldn't find the original post you were responding to--so I used yours for reference. Apologies.

Why pointless? Many Buckeye fans are quick to condemn the conference--but the Big 12 WON the two big interconference games last year, and did better in the bowls.

Big Ten are quick to point out that the Big 12 is a terrible conference. I won't overly defend the Big 12, it was down last year (but evidentally up enough to send a team to the national championship game for the third straight year) Still, the Big 12 won the two biggest meetings between the...

I'm not saying my Horns are going to win. I just think it will be low scoring. Something akin to last year. 25-17, or 20-10. I know how far along the OSU skill position players are on offense, and containing them will be hard. Still, I haven't read the threads about your o-line, so I don't know...

I'll make an exception to my comment about pictures not being the focus for this one.

Well, it's a heck of a lot closer than GOTP. Not that I don't mind seeing them, I just don't like it when they become THE topic.

Read this on CNNSI.com "Clarett signs with the Eastern Indoor Football league." Anyone else hear this?

Let's get this back to football.

They've gotten a court order to take this thread off life support.

EIther that, or it's a lowlight film of the offense at the scarlet and gray game.

Great post. Good luck to your team, and I hope you have a great visit. Austin is a great city. I will be detailing my fav places to go later this summer.

UT stays in a hotel close to the stadium.
