24-13 Bevo wins 🤘

🤘

8 of top 10 from SEC... 🤘

I think a big part of Sark's MO is setting up future plays. He seems willing to lay a turd on one play if he can set up the stinger when you don't expect it. That's usually a deep hit, or one of those Wingo sideline screens etc... I love Sark actually, but sometimes I think he is gets too lost in the setup instead of just plodding down the field, and I don't think currently he has been taking the level of play of the OL into consideration in his play calling very well. He could help them out quite a bit by adjusting his playcalling a bit imo until the bigger issues get resolved. 🤘

Looks like we are 10 in AP. still behind bans but ahead of osu and ole miss in this one. Happy to be (partially) wrong. but looking at some of the individual ballots, on x, it’s all over place. 🤘

Let’s hope. We’ll see. I was talking about the weekly polls setting the table for what the cfp does. at end of day, we win we are in. Still a lot of carnage left over the next few weeks in cfb! 🤘

Texas at #11 and Missouri @ 19 in coaches poll heading into game.

Check the poll - as predicted, we are behind OSU... 🤘

Coaches Poll just released - Texas at #11 behind Alabama AND Ohio State and ahead of Ole Miss, LSU, Tenn, and USC... let's see what AP does... Missouri up to #19 ahead of our game. 🤘

I didn't say I agreed with it - I don't. I'm just predicting it. 🤘

I mentioned this in another thread - predicted it would happen... One could make a case for OSU - I wouldn't agree but you could make a case. No case w/ Ole Miss though. 🤘

Should be - not so sure will be. I think we'll be behind Alabama, OSU, and possibly Ole Miss. 🤘

With the first CFP seedings coming out this week, it feels like the polls this week are going to be very interesting and I don't think Texas is going to like what happens... There is going to be a logjam of 2 loss teams, including Texas, and now also Ohio State, Ole Miss, and TN, all wins for Texas, but who all have arguably better losses. Through in LSU, Alabama, and USC... It feels like pollsters might lose Texas in the middle of all those. I predict both OSU and Alabama and possibly Ole Miss are ranked higher than Texas despite the head to heads. Normally, I might not worry about it at this point in season, and it feels like we still have some things to prove to earn it, but with such a logjam of teams between about 8 and 15, and w/ Boise and ND reserved spots, it feels unusually important to have the right pecking order set now even before we have to go on road and take care of business. If we do that I'm pretty sure we are in. I still think things sort out over time, just that it is maybe more important than usual to get this initial ranking right to avoid someone else making the decision down the road - especially if we are also thinking there is any chance for a 3 loss invite... 🤘

Shake off the cobwebs for Halloween! 45-9 nightmare for MSU. 🤘

I'm a little different as I travel a lot to major capitals/cities for work, so when I travel for pleasure I like to get out and be less on the touristy stuff. Find a high end lodge/spa/resort in highlands or a remote area like Skye or even one of the islands like Shetlands and just chill / explore the lower key stuff - hikes, fishing, shooting etc. a country inn pub on a weekend is always a fun thing. Have done this a couple of times in Scotland and its pretty awesome. If you like shooting, they do a cool kind of sport shooting there on a course called sporting clays. Salmon fishing in the famous highland rivers... Usually combine it with a couple of days in Edinburgh or Glasgow around your arrival / departure, then just get a car and go hide in the country for a few days... Scotland is fantastic imo. Enjoy. 🤘

I know its "as of today" but I don't see Utah staying in the mix...

I almost had a similar statement, but figured we've had enough pissing for this year... 😬😜 🤘

I'm not trying to be apologetic to Texas performance season to date here - far from it, its extremely disappointing, but nationally, and SEC in particular is absolutely brutal this year.. I'm not sure there will be any 1 loss SEC teams at end of regular season. Does anyone not believe that Kentucky, Tennessee, and probably Georgia too won't have another L? I mean Kentucky and TN play each other at a minimum. GA still has Florida and @Ole Miss. Kentuck has @TN, Florida, @OU, @ missouri and Louisville; TN has probably easiest w/ @ ATM and @ SC as well as LSU at home and they have loss to us. Alabama has @ LSU, Aggie, and Auburn still. MsSt is lost w/o their QB. Florida already has 2 losses and still has OU, Kentucky and FSU. Even OU is only 2 L's in conference... Impact players like Taylor and Sayin and others going down or getting pulled... And you can go through all the conferences really and see similar. Big 12 top half hasn't played each other yet, but that carnage is coming... Point is: Every team has major flaws. Every team is getting banged up. Every team is beating up on each other. We are far from alone in this misery, and others have it even worse (Oregon, USC, Michigan, Penn State, Clemson, FSU - Pretty sure I wouldn't trade our woes for any of theirs...) GA might win the conference again with 2 conference losses this year and every other contender could easily be 3 or even 4 losses by end of season. All I'm saying is, grass isn't really greener in many other places. Plenty of things for us to fix and our grass can be just as good or better than anyone else's - still time even in this season. Win this weekend and things can get well for us quickly, still... I don't have blinders on, we have issues, every family does. But they're our issues. Our family. We shouldn't piss on the players, I don't think they've quit yet and don't think they will. Forever hopeful. Alway Hook'em. 🤘

34-13 Texas 🤘

Arch Manning. No one is expecting him to make a mark, but I think we see some pop runs and some deep bomb connections generating a nice highlight reel for the game, a W, and start of a groove for him for 2nd half of season.... 🤞 🤘

27-9 Texas. Let's Go! 🤘

Same. Had a great visit, first time in Knoxville, everything was great. There was certainly some stress around the end of the game, but it always felt like we were the better team and winning the day. I was shocked (not really pissed?) when I logged on here, and to a lesser degree when I rewatched the broadcast, to the point I actually turned it off after a bit as I didn't want my live experience diminished. Like you, we sat for another 20 mins after the eyes just a great day and great game day experience. Similarly, last year at Ohio State, the game felt MUCH closer live in person than the feeling you got here or on rewatch... We generally do one road and one home game a year now that we live so far (PNW) and even though you miss a lot of detail, I strongly prefer the live experience. 🤘

Fantastic stuff. 🤘

gross... 🤘

I don't know if his experience or calls or whatever balance it out, I'm not an expert, and I like Conner fine, but it seems pretty clear he is being targeted and abused by pretty much every team so far... I'm sure he's busting his butt, he just seems constantly overmatched unfortunately. 🤘
