'Hook Em
I have been at home this week, medicated from recent outpatient surgery. Some of you may have noticed I have been much more active. I am just now sobering up, as the pain is subsiding. Vicodin is awesome by the way. Anyway, I couldn't care less what reputation I have on here. I already stated 50 pages back why I think Texas wins in a few very long posts. I don't feel like I need to argue anything else, as I have already justified my position and addressed almost every angle. At this point I am just killing time, and coming up with dumb conversation. If you guys really thought I was 100% serious about the TD/INT thing, thats just hilarious. If you think I believe our LB's are just as good as yours, thats funny too. I guess its hard to type a "grin" in a message. Then there was that email about QB matchups some pages back....But all this talk is all in fun IMO.
As for our teams, I have studied both sides pretty closely. There are almost no players on tOSU I would want instead of our players. Maybe 1 or 2. But thats it. Can you legitimately say the same thing about our team? We out-man both sides of the line, our QB runs better and has a better completion % than either of yours. Our TB Selvin Young is finally healthy and averaged somewhere near 10 ypc over his career. Our line doesn't even care who starts, b/c they have been quoted saying "Whoever runs, a hole will be open for them." Both lines have gelled faster in pre-season practice than any I have seen before and any in Mack's tenure. Its just sick how well they are playing together. Our defensive secondary returns 5 of 6 from last year and should shut down yours and anyones passing game. Your QB (Smith) will be starting pretty much the biggest game of his life without having any "game" practice since almost a year ago. We're going to the MNC this year. You guys are just another team we will have to go through. OU is down this year, and has been having lots of problems in practice with INT's and Sacks. The game on the 10th of September will be a great matchup, and a hard fought win, but I still think Texas wins by 3 to 5 points in a low-scoring affair (22-17). It is arrogant for some of you guys to dismiss Miami OH as a given win. Are you forgetting your Marshall game last year as a 16.5 fav (24-21)? What about the year before when Bowling Green scared you (24-17) as an 11 point fav. Do you use the same excuse 2 years in a row of "Oh, we were breaking in new players?" Tressel has a history of underestimating OOC MAC opponents. This look-ahead game could be scary. And everyone has kinks to work out and players to break in the first few games of the season. It just happens this year, both tOSU and Texas has fewer than normal players to break in, which is rare. I know the MAC discussion belongs in the other thread, but I will be saying "I told you so" in a few weeks when you guys squeak by with a 3 point victory over Miami OH. Texas will be coming off a 40 point victory having all eyes pointed at you with a bullseye on your team. Your guys will be sitting in the locker room saying "How did that just happen, we played terribly... well, let's put this behind us and get ready for Texas."
Anyway, some of you are level-headed, and I enjoy reading your posts. Others come off as very arrogant, and that will make a UT win all the more sweet. For all the longhorn doubters, go look back at the years before MBrown came to UT. He's the best thing that's happened to our program since DKR.
So flame me, take my rep away, whatever. I will be there on September 10th, and I can't wait.
