Thanks MB! We plan on trying to get there as early as possible and just make a complete day of it. To say I'm excited about it would be like saying Bijan was an ok RB.

Thanks to all for the advice, it's very much appreciated. One question for those who have been to the game, I found tickets in the corner of the endzone on row 2, Texas side, but I'm worried if they're that low we won't be able to see a lot of the game. Is that the case, or should I jump on them? Happy to wait, but if they're good, I might go for them. Does anyone know if Vivid Seats is ok to use?

Thank you. Most of the feedback I'm getting is to wait until about the second week of September and hit StubHub, so I'll give that a whirl. Someone else suggested VetTix, so i'll give that a go as well.

I'm very excited to say I'm bringing my eldest daughter all the way from Brisbane, Australia, to the Red River Shootout this year. It's my first time attending the RRS and my daughter's first Texas game. Only one hitch in my giddyup: I don't have tickets. If anyone has a contact or has some advice on tickets, it would be greatly appreciated. I was just about to pull the trigger on two tickets from Vivid Seats, but saw some horror story reviews on tickets going to the wrong people, etc. I can't afford to come all that way and get duped at the last hour. We have a reasonable budget, but we're not looking for 50yd line (unless someone is feeling very generous). We just want to be in the building to experience the game. Any / all help appreciated! Also, I don't normally play this card, but I'm a US Air Force vet, so if that helps with acquiring tickets in any way, I'm not above saying thank you.

CJ, what's their o-line looking like? It doesn't look like they have anyone with any significant experience in the competition. If that o-line isn't stout, there could be a lot of panicky throws coming out of that backfield.

The defense is absolutely stacked. We're finally out of rebuild mode and into reload mode, and we have some damn good ammo.

This one is circled on my schedule as a tough out. If we get past OSU, we will have some serious momentum going into the Swamp, but my fear is that we're looking ahead to 0u and we beat the snot out of them last year. Best case scenario, Florida comes in undefeated and we take the game as seriously as possible. If Lagway is healthy, they will be legit. Florida has Miami the week before us and Lil Bro the week after, so I doubt they'll be looking ahead, but Miami could be a trap game for them. Hoping we're both undefeated when we meet and we remain so after the game.

Gotta B Ced B. RIP.

It saddens me that Foreman's talent was wasted on a team with weak leadership and average / below-average talent around him. His use was tantamount to abuse in some games, but he never complained. Doak Walker winning, 2k season, selfless. I still believe his NFL career was damaged based on how many times he was run at Texas. Priest was the man, but Foreman gets my vote. He deserves much more.

If he does throw for 4k+ and we make the semis (at a minimum) again, is he the Heisman winner?

Big Henry for me. Dude was a TRUCK! Ricky is always 34 to me for Texas.

Welcome to the board, you won't regret the move.

After watching all of our media day, I can honestly say I've never been more proud to be a Longhorn. Our head coach is articulate, humble, proud and conveys confidence without being an ass. Our player representatives are all smart, well-spoken and well-prepared. I'm proud of this group and couldn't be happier with the trajectory of the program. #HookEm!

That’s a long article for someone who isn’t a lock. My Spidey-senses are tingling.

That’s fantastic!

Hey Blake, I've been waiting for this one. No one will know his name from his playing days, but my Uncle Guy Matthews is my #50. He was in Darryl Royal's first class and was on track to be a key contributor when he was injured, breaking multiple ribs and puncturing a lung while playing. DKR allowed him to retain his scholarship. He graduated from UT Law and went onto become one of the foremost patent attorneys in the world. He was a brilliant, harsh, hard-to-work-for (I clerked for him for 1 year), and bled Burnt Orange until the day he died. At his funeral, all of his grandkids got to wear one of his Texas Ties (all Longhorn branded). He never forgot where he came from, often contributing to UT and his hometown, Barbers Hill. In 2022 he was inducted into the Barbers Hill HS Sports HoF. The football practice field at BHHS is named 'Guy Matthews Field." He was an Eagle Scout at the age of 13, played football, and was in the band while in HS. Just one of those incredibly talented people you don't see too often in life. My dad wasn't as talented as Guy on the football field, but he played against him a couple of times. His comment on playing with him, "Yeah, when that summabitch hit you, you stayed hit." More on my 'Uncle' for anyone interested here: (he was actually my Dad's first cousin, but they grew up in the same household and he was always 'Uncle Guy' to me): https://law.utexas.edu/alumni/class-notes/guy-matthews/

Great story! I remember that game and you're spot on. Men vs Boys.

Tray Allen was pretty good. Zach and Cam are easy picks as well.

Is it safe to assume this is a good sign? Who was the leader coming into today?

The recipe for landing 5* recruits at Texas! (AI's a hell of a thing).

Brilliant season. Kavan is incredible. Scott undeniable. Atwood legendary!

Mia with the bases loaded is downright wicked!!

BOOM!!!! Holy Spiccoli!!!! Taking it to them!! Cannady's arm has to be jelly.
