Texas will be 9 - 3 - that is my prediction.

Weak league - will lose to OU, Baylor and UCLA. Will manage to win at TT but it will be close.

I agree with 9-3, assuming the QB play gets fixed. The defense should be excellent, and the RB's are great if they stay healthy. OU, Baylor, and UCLA all look like top 10 teams this year. TCU could pull an upset on Turkey Day too..

The whole season depends on Ash's head. If he can stay upright, they can win 9 games. If Ash gets knocked out early it will be a long 1st year for Chucky.


This is from practice today
@mikefinger: Trey Holtz, grandson of Dr. Lou, has looked about as impressive as Tyrone Swoopes and Jerrod Heard this morning.

After saying all along Heard may win the starting job sometime this year, Ketch wrote this today.

I can't believe I'm typing this, but it's possible that Jerrod Heard needs a redshirt year every bit as much as Tyrone Swoopes, who still very much needs one. The Longhorns really need David Ash to stay on the field because I'm just not sure what the correct play is if he's out of the equation for so much as a painful hangnail.



They are in deep ish the first time Ash takes a hit.....

Coach Strong, Chuckie, will win more games in his first year than Coach Sumlin wins his third year.

I can actually see that happening.  If A&M's defense does not improve dramatically it could be a long season.

 

Difference is Big 12 - this year (in conference) they play Kansas (3-9), Iowa State (3-9), WVU (4-8) and TCU (4-8).  

 

While A&M plays in conference only one team with a losing record - Arkansas (3-9) - all other 2014 conference foes had winning records with most being ranked.  A&M will face more ranked teams in conference than Texas will face all year - including their bowl game.  Even when you take the cupcakes that A&M has in non-conference their schedule is much tougher than the Longhorn schedule.

 

That was a choice that A&M made when it decided to move to the SEC - you take the rewards along with the lumps that go with that.  I still believe that in the long run it will benefit the Aggie's much better than if they had stayed in the Big 12 - and will make the State of Texas a much more level playing field than it has been in the past - Lets admit it Texas has ruled the State for a long time just today not so much as it was.

No predictions, but I'm going to say that Texas surprises a bunch of people. We need not listen to Aggie naysayers, because all they can say is that our wins don't add up to theirs because they play in the sec. All teams outside the sec suck, except for Oklahoma and Florida State. Duke puts up a good fight too, being a basketball school and all.

I guess I missed seeing Texas in the rankings. We're they there? I did happen to see 8 SEC teams though. But whatever. If you finish with a better record then good for you. Success

good for those 8, that will drastically dwindle down during the season but hey be excited about those preseason rankings ;)

Is Johnathon Gray gonna come out and show why he was the #1 RB coming out of high school few years ago?


Reports are good on his progress. However, the reports on Malcolm Brown are that he is bigger, stronger, and faster than he's ever been. He needs Ash to stay healthy to have a legitimate pass threat but I hear he is poised to have a heckuva season. (And he was also the #1 back in the country coming out of HS.)

    • No doubt. It's definitely intriguing enough to watch how this all plays out...
    • We all know that each state has its own laws which can be very different, especially in endeavors like annexation or incorporation, so there is no telling what Louisiana law says. I don’t know but I doubt that there is a point of appeal for Baton Rouge to force St. George to be absorbed back into Baton Rouge by now giving them what they asked for years ago. “Oh, we lost? Well let’s just undo incorporation, ruled as legal by the Supreme Court (of LA)  by going back and giving them what they asked for”. There has to be a law allowing such an appeal. I think what I read about the lower court decisions which actually backed up Baton Rouge, they did not all rule that incorporation was illegal but that they did not think the city could have services up and running soon enough. So you have a court saying that sure you can split but only if we agree that you can provide services get enough. In Louisiana, who knows? I doubt that Texas has such a mechanism to allow a city to split, for example, could the west end of Beaumont say that they wish to make their own city against Beaumont’s objection? I doubt it. Certainly Beaumont could allow a city to be created as Port Arthur did with Bridge City and Taylor’s Landing. There is a huge difference in allowing and forcing which is what happened in Baton Rouge. Similar to the sometime discussed topic of Texas splitting off from the United States because they don’t like the way things are going, think if citizens in any city in the United States were allowed to create their own city, which could not be stopped by the parent city.  That could get interesting!! Don't like what is happening in the south side of Chicago? Just de-annex and create your own city!! Anyway, I thought that it is an interesting story when the capital city splits in half.   
    • Wasn't that 1st round loss last year? Also, during those previous 10 years I am pretty sure Jasper didn't go 2-58 in district play in the other 5 sports.
    • Ma'am, I don't think he said all Muslims were like that. If I'm reading this right, he's referencing the terrorist Muslims. You know, the ones who commit murder & have no regard for anyone who doesn't follow their jihadist beliefs...
    • Great playoff run, no doubt.  They did make the 3rd round(1 less) 4 of the previous 10 years, only one first round loss. 6 district championships and 4 second place.  The only 4 years Carthage was in the same district. So no, I'm not sure it does make sense.
