Man, I was just glancing over Texas' schedule, and it could get really fucking ugly for them. They get Okie State at home this weekend. Okie State has a pretty high-powered offense, and nothing the horns D has done so far can inspire much confidence in their ability to slow them down. So, they'd likely have to win in a shoot out. If they don't, they're sitting at 1-3 with this coming up:
at TCU
Oklahoma
K-State
Very good shot at dropping all 3 of those, putting them at 1-6 before a possible breather on the road at ISU, and home against Kansas. Lets say they win both of those to climb back to 3-6. They then have to travel to WVU, which I don't see them winning...3-7. Home against Texas Tech is probably a toss-up. Then they close in Waco against Art Briles' weeping vagina. They'll likely get clobbered there.
So, they could easily be staring at a 3-9 or 4-8 season coming off an absolute drubbing in their [Mark May]ty bowl game. Teams are supposed to improve in a new coach's second year, not fall flat on their face. I wonder if the new AD they settle on wants to go in a different direction if their season plays out this way...
