If Texas used SEC measurement rules Texas could claim 9 NC’s.

Blake you will be muted today

When I think of our last national championship team we had true NFL talent at every position except maybe WR. We had many upperclassmen leaders. This team seems to miss some jets on the offense. Our defense looks the part in a big way. A lot sure rides on Arch meeting or exceeding expectations.

Since the UPI and AP were the two primary selectors, it’s a split title between Texas and Nebraska. The UPI awarded Texas the national championship; Texas shouldn’t be blamed for the final vote coming before the bowl games. I’d say the same thing about OU’s 1974 national title. They were voted No. 1 in the AP poll despite being on probation. What were they supposed to do? Give it back? Say, “Nah, we’re good. Someone else can have it.” Ohio State was named co-champion with Texas by the National Football Foundation, which is an NCAA-recognized selector. Schools can claim whatever titles they want before the BCS era is it’s a legitimate claim. Still, that doesn’t mean everybody else has to recognize it.

This is the only natty I have a problem with Texas claiming and Ohio State shouldn’t claim this natty at all. Nebraska did not lose a game that season, but had a tie with a 6-4 Southern Cal team, so maybe that was taken into consideration by the coaches poll when they decided to give their natty to Texas. If the coaches poll still awarded their natty before bowl games in 1977, Texas would have an additional natty. The 1963, 1969, and 2005 teams left no doubt that they were the undisputed national champions and if they win any more going forward, those natties will also be undisputed.

D.D. Lewis gets an honorable mention today.

One more note on Jimmy Saxton is he held the school record for single-season yards per rushing attempt with 7.9 in 1961 until Bijan Robinson broke it in 2020. That was one of those Texas records I never thought I’d see broken.

It’s been said over the years that it was the toughest loss Coach Royal ever suffered as a head coach.

I met Buddy Iles in 1970 and relived that awful game. 🤘🏻

My defense: Big difference between a fake natty and a split natty. UPI granted their trophy before bowls back then and chose Texas. Lot of split champions awarded by the two main authorities in the history of the sport. Fake natty would be like Texas claiming 2008 because we didn’t agree with the B12 tie-breaker rule.

He probably would’ve been the school’s first Heisman winner if not for the infamous TCU game.

Vince Young days away. We're getting close

These seem to be about ranking pre-bowl games but interesting nonetheless

My first Texas jersey was #10 for James Saxton.

Let’s give Peter Gardere some love. 4-0 against ou.

We are 10 days away from the Longhorns squaring off against Ohio State for the season opener. Normally this is where I would ask who your favorite number xx is, but with today being 10… Vince Young

Gerry keeps talking about NBA trash talk. I've posted several times the exchange between Kobe and Iverson at the end of game 2 of the NBA Finals, after which Kobe went on to dominate Iverson. I hope Arch tells Downs at the captains meeting/coin toss in Columbus that he's gonna put it on Downs. Get it in his head who is really gonna control the game.

Was never a huge fan of Saban, but at this point it all seems like a set up - or rat poison.

That bald lady the other day on ESPN hosting Druski didn't even recognize a Barry Sanders jersey. ESPN is painful unless it's simply watching the game.

Sushi Hana on Mason is very good. Little V's on 1463 for Vietnamese. Tiger Noodle House on Mason is very good Chinese food. Ray's on Mason for Mexican (Tony's of Ella brother in law). Mia's on 99 for burgers and chicken fried steak. Fusion Grill on Mason is good for a good steak at a fair price. Mezze off Westpark toll road almost to Fulshear is my favorite new restaurant in the area. Good Mediterranean food.

There’s a sushi conveyor belt place I like- Sushi Sakura I think. And yes, Lupe is a “chain”, but Lupe is always good (although I don’t love the original one deeper into Houston).

That's actually some good growth from Arch, if true. Because one of the knocks on him, was he wasn't willing or didn't look to check down as much as say Ewers did, when it was necessary to do so.
