Confidence level for remaining games
I had this thought for the remaining games. LSU and Mizzou are tough, but very winable games. TAMU and Arkansas should be easy wins so long as we don't beat ourselves ... which is possible. The thought I am left with seeing our depth and defense prove to be very competitive at a high level is this: If in any one (or all) of our remaining games- if our defense and special teams (block punts, returns, etc) do not give up any points, I am confident we will win. The defense has been good in many ways and kept us in games. The offense or special teams allowing a turnover and points to flip momentum has been our killer. Remove that and we run the table. Wether removing those things will make us competitive in the playoffs remains to be seen

Can I pick Tre Wisner wearing James Simon's jersey. Tre can come guest demolish A&M, too.

Sec shorts- week 4
I had to laugh at the celebration mockery, but low-key, the Herbstreet audio issues gag at the end may have been my favorite so far this year. And also ... What a bad look for the nationally televised broadcast.

Best regular season weekend.... Ever?
Because the win was so dramatic... Not just the comeback, but the display of growth....I am declaring this weekend the best regular season weekend in Texas Football History. The red zone success, ol blocking, and reduction of penalties are ALL the big white whales that Sark has been dealing with for the past year plus. Seeing the reposnse to the miscues and how the second half brought all these topics into focus.... And the team lived up to the expectations/challenge..... Man, talk about a statement. Sark the CEO is making the right moves in the offseason for moments like this to get him over the hump. Muschamp, the transfers, and the philosophy shifts to be more concerted on things like being physical and running the ball... Even down big. The only guy to outpace the rapid growth of Arch in the last 12 months... Might be our guy Sark.

Every AP Poll Ballot (09/13)
I like the LSU reporters top 5 .... ohio state being 2 is great. I am not as high on LSU, but think minimum penalty for the top 2 teams playing each other to the final minute feels like what the sport needs. Now this Josh Furlong with LSU at one. GTFOutta here.

Best regular season weekend.... Ever?
Well, the OU loss was pretty good ... Even if A&M figured their stuff out and won... If we win tonight ... Still epic

Best regular season weekend.... Ever?
It's early, but 2 top 10ish rivals in Texas 8&4 and OU are on upset watch to unranked teams...... Could those both happen and a top 5 Texas beat the number one overall team at home with the biggest recruiting party/weekend we have seen in a long time..... If these three things pan our, I don't know how this doesn't become a day that is enshrined as one of the best (and possibly best outside of postseason wins) in UTs history

Yep, that's who I meant. Autocorrect must have tripped me up in the post as "Season"

Longhorns first of position draft odds
I saw a mock draft that BR did with Arch 3rd and Goosby, Simmons, and Coleman in top 10. Got me wondering... What are the percentages and the over/under on how many horns go first for their position. I put the odds at 1.5, currently, and it seems like there are 5 possible if they each play great. Arch:50% chance to go first Top competition: Mensah, Carr, Moore Simmons: 75% Competition: Stewart Goosby 75% Competition: Season Coleman/Wingo 15% (higher chance for Coleman, obviously) Competition: Jeremiah Smith McDoland: 35% Competition: KJ Bolden, Tae Johnson It will be interesting not just how the top 10 plays out, but where each of these land in their position group.

And for Michigan (and I think the ref crew was Big10) that is a feature not a bug...

I like how the broadcaster, who normally have to stay neutral, are just baffled by how this happened and what the B10 needs to address on this

Do we think the Michigan linemen that flirted with the transfer portal are happy with their decision tonight?

College Football Week 1 Thread
To think that Michigan "won" the Bryce Underwood sweepstakes. Being a QB is tough And I don't want to disparage the kid. But seeing the scrutiny on Arch, it does seem like Underwood doesn't get as much. Maybe the circus of connor stalians and coach moore took all those headlines ...

Heisman celebrations
Agreed. And having a great statistical game against a cupcake. Yawn.

Heisman celebrations
With the likes of Toney and Jeremiah Smith campaigning early for their Heisman, I sure hope Arch, Wingo, coleman, the RBs, etc. act and talk like champions and focus on team success. Take care of business and win. The awards will figure themselves out. Act like you have been there before.
