What’s a cup of Kool-Aid you guys are willing to drink this year about this Texas team.

Mine is believing that the overall discipline of the team penalty wise has improved dramatically.

I’ll agree with your cup of kool-Aid and add it’ll be an historic Texas offense.

I’m ready to drink the koolaid about the defense. Very optimistic about that unit

Funny you should ask 

Mine is that the whole country has overcorrected on this Texas team from a year ago. Every criticism of the team feels like nitpicking—every team has weaknesses and gaps, but UT’s feel comparatively small. This feels like a deep, experienced, and Uber-talented group that can match up against literally anyone in the country. I think we are going to surprise people with how explosive we are on both sides of the ball.

Defensive front 7. I think they will be relentless in wave after wave of depth. A great mix of experience and young talent!

Same

I’ll go ahead and say it. The offensive line will be much improved across the board and depth wise. 

Mine is situational and emotional, as is the case with drinking the Kool-aid. We come out and finally dominate an early OOC team in Texas State and then win the Ohio State game, completely blowing open the floodgates on the potential of this team. 

My Kool-Aid is similar to others in terms of "overcorrection", but specifically that we're going to dominate many good teams that people think will be close/rock fights - in particular Ohio State. A combination of home turf, extremely hot temps that our team is used to and a significantly improved roster makes me really believe that we could blow them out by 2 scores or more. Everyone was singing Patricia's praises last year but he had generational defensive players in his backfield - he could simply let them play and they would make him look good. I think we're going to destroy Tennessee and Oklahoma this year.

Explosive plays will be at a level we haven’t seen in recent memory. Texas will never be “out” of a game because we’ll have the ability to rack up points extremely quickly.

Why? Can Coleman and Ryan Wingo (and potentially Bishop) are elite, and Arch is a deep ball junkie. Opposing defenses have to put enough guys on the WRs to not get torched deep. So Hollywood and Raleek - both known to be explosive- are gonna eat. Arch has legs too. I’m expecting way more highlight plays this year. 

Kool-Aid?

 

Sark finally has an offense capable of hanging 40-50 on anybody.

I'll stick with the defensive side of the ball but I'll go more big picture. I am drinking the Muschamp kool-aid. I think the defense will be improved on a havoc basis, and even if they give up a couple more ppg, they'll more than make up for it with turnovers created

The havoc-flavored Kool-Aid is my favorite right now.

This is so well put.

Cam is the truth and will dominate and get drafted before jeremiah smith

Kool aid I'm drinking is that the synergy of marginal improvement of arch, across the board upgrades of RBs (despite Tre still being number 1 in my heart), marginal improvement of Wingo, massive upgrade of Coleman, health of Mosley/sub of Bishop, marginal improvement of OL, transition to Muschamp style with more frequent defensive 3-and-outs leading to more offensive opportunities (rather than PK's bend not break style, which had its virtues, but often led to bad teams having lots of time of possession) leads to massive offensive improvement overall. 

The other Kool aid I'm drinking is that Lane desperately going for NFL guys is him low-key telling us his current team sucks and after their season goes downhill early, we hang a massive victory on him, leading to end of game Death valley death boos.

I just chugged a whole strong gallon of this Kool Aide there was some left over so I added more and chugged until it was all gone. Probably do more each day until the season starts!!
