Texas benefitted greatly from some poorly timed stunts by ole miss and some uncharacteristic poor play. And its about time because ou and Fl benefitted from some inexplicably poor Texas OL play. Whatever. Ill take it.

Third-quarter down under slump: You better run, you better take cover

Was an all-time choke job by Jon Scheyer

From NFL Blue Book: Only a few months ago, the quarterback class heading for the 2027 NFL draft looked special. “Oh yeah — there’s some dudes,” an NFL general manager said in August. “Right now, I’ve got five quarterbacks in the first round, if you include [Brendan] Sorsby.” The GM had been getting up at 4 a.m. during camp, watching film and writing two player reports a day in an effort to get ahead on his evaluations. And what he saw in those early morning hours was living up to predictions that another bumper crop of QB talent was heading for the league. “You think the quarterback class will hold up?” I asked. “Definitely,” he replied. “Between Dante Moore, we’ll see how the LSU kid Sam Leavitt plays and if his foot is OK. I think he could go in the first. The five, I think it’s [Notre Dame’s CJ] Carr, Arch [Manning of Texas], Dante, Leavitt and Sorsby, depending how he looks.” Less than three months later? It has not held up. “It’s almost the same story as last year,” one longtime executive told NFL Blue Book on Monday. “All the hype and buildup without people really asking the experts who have known all along that there were issues with all these guys. It’s so bad across the landscape of college football that the NFL is actually excited about a former walk-on [in Mestemaker], who never started a varsity game at quarterback in high school.” Full article is here... https://www.nflbluebook.com/p/week-7-recalibration-the-hyped-2027

This feels like a good thread to put this on

This post is gold! 🤣😂🤣😭

I still stand by my original thesis. Whatever Cody Campbell supports, Texas should be against.

Big Ten getting 4 teams in? OSU Indiania UCLA NW

The "Wemby benched" buzz mirrors exactly what has been unfolding in Austin.

I still don't know how that Duke team didn't win it all

I believe if we win out we’re in, so here’s what I think helps us if we lose another game. It’s still early to know exactly who to root for, but in general: 1. Upsets. Unranked or barely ranked teams beating top 10 teams is generally good 2. Hope Florida takes two more losses but doesn’t totally go in the tank. Want to avoid finishing with the same record as them because of the head to head, but don’t let them lose enough for it to become a “bad loss” like last year. 3. Speaking of going in the tank, Oklahoma losing out would be bad for the same reason. I’m never going to root for OU so I’ll leave it at that. 4. As others have said, root against ND. Hope Miami wins big and ideally they take another loss. 5. Ohio State winning helps the resume but could be tough without Sayin. If they lose, hope they lose at least twice. If we’re both 9-3 we have head to head. 6. I’m inclined to root for LSU over Alabama. If we lose to LSU we should come out ahead of bama in a resume competition I’m not even going into the Big 12 because…blech

10.38-second personal best in the 100-meter dash and a 4.34-second 40-yard dash. Rumors that senior transfer A.J. Swann is strongly being considered to start.

We beat a top 10 team and the bedwetters remain in full force.

Having made it through this season, winning all of the games that were 50/50ish going into the season. It sure would have been nice to beat terrible OU and Florida with a backup QB. Not shocking to anyone that Florida was able to score, but should not be shut down on offense like that against them. Because of those two inexcusable losses, the team now has to fight against a true trap game scenario with Miss. St. and/or Missouri. LSU and A&M you would think the team should be able to get up for. Miss. St. without Taylor seems very much like a team that could get overlooked, can't do it. Missouri isn't gonna excite anyone except Wingo, but they can absolutely beat you (if you help them, don't see it without us helping them). 6 weeks is a long time to keep your intensity at a max, especially after getting the big top 10 win last weekend. 10 straight weeks of playoff football basically for this team, 1-0, have to stay fired up.

Not a song but how im feeling

Cooper Flagg entering into legit All-NBA discussions.. That dude is NICE

Claimed national titles* 1914 - Dave Allerdice 1941 - Dana Bible 1968 - DKR 1977 - Fred Akers 1981 - Fred Akers That would be 3 additional coaches 1983, why did we even try to field that punt vs Georgia 😭 Also kind of shows you how much we've underachieved as a program.

Last week I asked which underdog would win outright. Answer: none of them. All six favorites won, and five of the six covered. The only one that didn't was Alabama, who beat A&M by 11 as a 14.5-point favorite. I definitely didn't see that one coming, and it felt like A&M might be able to pull off the impossible until the 4th quarter. The crowd had it backwards in two spots: 69% took Ole Miss +3.5 and Texas won by 7, and 76% took Tennessee +2.5 and South Carolina won by 3. So much for my hunches, too, with both Texas and South Carolina covering. Congrats to @Ryan Clement, who Holds the Mayo after going 5-1 in Week 8. Nobody else got past 4-2. Week 9 is open. Five SEC games against the spread, best record Holds the Mayo, ties go to whoever picked first: Auburn at Ole Miss (-13.5), 11:45 AM CT Florida vs Georgia (-10.5), 2:30 PM CT South Carolina at Oklahoma (-5.5), 3:15 PM CT Mississippi State at Texas (-21.5), 6:30 PM CT Missouri (-10.5) at Arkansas, 6:45 PM CT The pick for each game locks at its own kickoff, and you can change your picks any time between now and then without losing your place in line. Two weeks ago the underdogs ran wild and last week the favorites swept. So which is it this week? Texas laying 21.5 after a one-score game with Ole Miss feels like a lot to me, but with Super Kamario likely out I think it's possible, especially if Texas continues to find its groove on offense. Personally I think South Carolina will win outright against OU, and I will definitely be hate watching that one. Let's make it two in a row Saturday night. stance.fm/mayo Hook 'em! 🤘

Very insightful, intelligent opinion. Not really a take as much as factual statements.
