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. 🤘

At least Michigan turned it into wins though... 🤷‍♂️ 🤘

The sideline toss to Bishop was a beauty. 🙌 Also, all you Wingo haters can suck it. He's been money this year and is a baller. Hands waaaay better than last year, blocks like a fiend, and great teammate and culture guy as far as anyone can tell. He's had one bad drop and that screwy (illegal) onsides kick. He's having a great year imo. 🤘

Was weird that they did it twice! There are so many holds, esp their RT. Colin probably should have had 8 or 9 sacks. 🤘

Ole Miss would be feeling pretty good about an SEC road win about now… 🤘

All time greats and Jordan one of my favorite horns. Did yall know that Jordan and Colt's dads roomed together??? (just joking, miss hearing that 5 times a game...) 🤘

over 200 all purpose yards for Bijan. masterpiece... 🙌 🤘

27 - 16 good guys. see you in Knoxville! 🤘

rough w a noon kick and college gameday onsite as well. just going to take in the pre-game and hit the seats early. excited to experience Rocky Top. Have a victory dinner booked at Tupelo's after. 🤘

We actually increased our hold on 1 in terms of 1st place votes and total points in both polls... 🤘

🤘

50-9 🤘

@Bobby Burton said no tailgate, but something Friday evening. Unfortunately we don't get in to Knoxville until almost 10pm or something so will probably miss regardless. Both teams should be 3-0 and TN could conceivably be top 10 by then (currently 15). Should be a great kickoff to SEC slate! 🤘

Same. Stoked! 🤘

Texas 34-13. 2 int's including a pick 6 for Texas. Wingo and Simmons O/D Players of Game. Arch w/ a statement game. Let's go! 🤘

Earl. I know you said football, but my favorite all-time all-sports are Earl / Nolan Ryan / Dream All #34 (pros). H-town. Also VY. And Bijan is getting there quickly. Favorite all-time non-horns were Bo Jackson, Steve Young, and Jerry Rice, though I hate the niners now lol. Not as much as the damn Steelers though... 🤘

Obviously Bijan is Bijan, and Murphy's (and Dickson) great on my Seahawks, but who do you see as other top or breakout performers going into this year? Seem like Worthy has underwhelmed a little. Seems like we are deeper on practice squads than starting 22, which I think is shifting, but curious who you see some of those other high quality guys being. I'm much more of a Saturday than a Sunday football guy, so not as up on who might be up there, or coming on to be up there... 🤘
