It's all the pressure of having the top college coaching job in the country. But then again, it's like everywhere else......win or bye-bye. Why isn't Saban still in Miami? Why isn't Petino still in Bo

I don't even know anyone who reads him more than you.  I don't even know the last time I read him when you didn't post something of his. How's that moving on thing working for you?  Me thinks poor Mac

I disagree with you PhatMack!  It probably isn't going to start well, but I think that it is going to end well!!

Texas finally wins a game against and overrated WVU (who have they beaten?) and now they are progressing - but Texas fans seem to have a short memory - did not they lose 23 - 0 to a good team (not overrated)?

 

I have always stated that Strong was a good hire - but Texas has not been even close to the team that most predicted pre-season - Strong still has a long way to go to get Texas back into the NC chatter.

What were "most" predicting pre-season?

 

4th place from what I can remember. That's about accurate. 

 

They have not lost to one team they were expected to beat.

According to the pundits on Saturday, he is only a year or two away from being in the mix.  I'm not saying pundits know everything but they do get paid for their opinions, unlike you and me (which is extremely unfair btw).

We all knew WVU was overrated when they almost beat Bama this year.  I mean, has Bama blown anyone out?  Even really bad teams?

If they make a bowl game this year (best chance is beating a reeling Ok St team), they will certainly have surpassed any expectations that I or any realistic Texas fan had before the season's start.

Well not really


Projected wins

Texas- 7.5 wins
A&M- 6.5 wins

You only need to win 6 games to make a bowl btw

Texas was actually up to 8 and aggy at 7 before first games went off. FYI, Vegas lines have little to nothing to do with what they think the result will be. The soul goal is to try and achieve equal action on both sides of the bets. And since Texas has long been one of the bigges sports betting states (esp football), that is a heavy factor in setting the numbers. And they don't only love to bet, the love to bet on their teams. It is a long, well known principle by sharps that most of the time, you are giving away some equity betting on UT, Notre Dame, and USC. Just the way it is. Oregon is quickly coming into that conversation.

Is perjury one of the core values?

Our lawyers > okie state lawyers, wick wins.

Not exactly perjury. And anyway, okie state can't win. Wick scripts plays every week that are used in the offense. So in actuality, he and Watson call plays. And there have been instances in games where he has called some plays as well.

I would think its cheaper and easier just to pay the $600k for Okie Lt to go away,

Someone with core values does not spend their every waking moment trying to dig up smut on UT.

Perjury is lying under oath. Please show me where anyone has been under oath. Nice try though. Now go back to being an Ag. Wait a minute. You already are.

In his defense, it's not like aggy has a law school. Oh wait, I think they did pick up one. It's in a Fort Worth strip center, nestled between a Tom Thumb and Smoothie King.

Did you read the article? OSU is suing Wickline and Charlie will be called to testify under oath.

      Quick question

      By LumRaiderFan · Posted

      I voted for energy independence, secure border, selection of conservative SCJ, lowest unemployment in decades, I could go on but there's no emotion here, I vote for policies. Look at what we have now, there's no comparison. I just listed the reasons I voted for Trump, someone PLEASE list the reasons you would vote for Biden. @Boyz N Da Hood you said we should vote on policies, I just listed them for Trump, tell me which ones you don't like and wouldn't vote for him because of them.

      Republicans don't deserve...

      Hold them accountable? Like here in Texas where we have, by any definition, the most conservative Speaker that we’ve ever had. He pushed through an abortion ban and border security measures, reduced school taxes, etc… and the people who put him in office are firing him for not being MAGA enough.    Every third commercial on TV is Trump (or somebody who supports Trump) calling Phelan a RINO and supporting an impotent replacement for the most powerful person in the House.    It’s 100% MAGA, and it’s 12000% stupid.    “oh, he didn’t do those things by himself” says everyone who doesn’t understand parliamentary procedure.

      Me personally I respect posters like @bullets13 @CardinalBacker they vote for a guy and can call out others in the party or the direction a party can be headed.... others on here fall "lockstep" with whatever happens and defend by all means is the mantra it seems... no need to call out names, it's probably you if your mad at this statement 🤣

      I recall prior to midterms the R's and the "red wave" would get America "back on track" etc.... they would end this and stop Biden from that blah blah blah, so what's the problem? It looks like a circus show from both sides and whoever can sit or stand with a straight face and defend it is a 🤡! Desantis would've been a slam dunk for the R's and he possibly would've got my vote... now they pick a guy who lost the popular vote twice lol (yeah I know that means nothing in grand scheme of things).. point being is the dude is highly unlikeable (I also know this doesn't matter) 👈🏾 just getting ahead of the deflectors... personally I hope the clown gets in there so ppl can see how ultra right the clown is trying to push America for... IF he wins in November you can bet he will be on a rampage for 4 years getting lil if anything done, will most likely spend his term for the same thing some of yall complain about daily, going after his opponents... but hey the D's do it right? So yeah it's cool if we do it SMH We're supposed to vote on policies etc while at the same time the person you vote for that made promises to change or fix this and that complains about his predecessor being the issue! It's all a joke What have R's done that's good for America since midterms?  What have D's done? And please leave your feelings out of this and be truthful if possible!
