Texas 24 LSU 23

I have the opposite, Texas 17 - LSU 23. Definitely smells like a low scoring game.

LSU 38 Texas 24

Uchhhhh!!!!! Insufferable. 🤢🤮 Thank goodness......money still cannot buy class.

@Gerry Hamilton finally coming out the closet as “West Texas Tough”?

When can new Guv replace him, or has he been good to TT outside of the Athletic Department and have a reason to be kept on?

At least the B12 is thinking to upgrade from Yormark. Their hoops programs deserve a better commish.

Avila leaving St. Louis for TCU. Hahaha.

@CJ Vogel do you think we see a similar defensive approach to what we did vs Tennessee? Simmons lurking behind the dline waiting for Leavitt to get flushed is what I picture, if Simmons ankle is healthy enough for him to plant and keep Leavitt in front of him.

So this is a “PUF piece”, then? Some things never change in Lubbock.

I liked a lot of what Sark had to say today. Sounds like they've been getting after it in practice, and I think establishing the running game is going to be huge against LSU. Arch doesn't need to do it all himself. If we can run the ball, protect him, and let him make plays when they're there, I like our chances. Defensively, keeping Leavitt from scrambling around and making plays is going to be important. I also like hearing Sark talk about adjusting schemes and finding ways to get guys in positions to succeed. Now we just need to see it all come together Saturday. I'm encouraged, but it's time to back it up on the field.

This is incredibly ignorant. The SWC was dead the moment the Supreme Court ruled programs could form their own associations to negotiate television contracts in 1984. The first big loss in court that has led to all the other ones, again due to violations of the Sherman Act. Everyone knew it. SMU was averaging about 20k in Texas Stadium in games that didn't feature Texas or Texas A&M even in their hey day. All three of the schools you mentioned earned every bit of those sanctions, but it wouldn't have mattered. There simply weren't enough eyeballs watching TV sets in the SWC. Being locked into one state - even two states before Arkansas left - meant the television contracts the conference negotiated were never going to be competitive with the rest of the country. The SWC tried to give Texas and A&M a bigger share, but it was never going to be enough. Didn't have anything to do with the sanctions. Same with the Big 12. Once the TV markets from Colorado, Nebraska (not a big TV market but everyone in the state tunes in) Missouri, and A&M left the fold the Big 12 was a Dead Man walking. What alleged Big Game Hunting was there to do? Joining the Big 12 was a step down for any decent big time school. 4 of the biggest had already left for greener pastures for that reason. The Big 12 did allow Texas to sell their tier 3 rights to ESPN for $30 million per year, which kept the school competitive from a TV compensation perspective for a while. Once the recent game changing TV deals were signed by Big Ten and SEC there was nothing the Big 12 was going to be able to do to keep Texas in the fold. At that point it was just a matter of which conference Texas was going to join. The Big Ten refused to enter into secret negotiations, which was paramount for keeping the state legislature at bay long enough to make it a done deal, so Texas went with the SEC. Maybe they would have anyway, but that sealed it. You want to be mad at the Big 12 for not doing enough to keep Texas, and the jealous members doing things to protect their turf and push Texas away, but the truth is there wasn't anything they could do to keep Texas, other than sprout 10s of millions of people out of the ground in their regions to watch college football and buy products advertised there.

I need the catapult % for the practices before I can make a W/L prediction.

Texas 31 LSU 6

@CJ Vogel How cooked are we this weekend since he said something about good practice on a scale of 1-10 😂😂

Thread is unlocked.

23 - 26 LSU. Home field advantage is too much to overcome.

TEXAS - 37 LSU - 12

The two signers are both ballers. There is a trend in getting those 6'1" or 6'2" guard/forward types that can play multiple positions, rebound, shoot, and have a handle to penetrate. USC has that three headed monster and they are exactly the type of hoopers that teams want. We have Kayla Clark, Maddie, Bjorn, and Crittendon that fit that profile. Coach Vic has them playing so much better in just a few weeks.

28-24 LSU
