DP, every Horns fan I know said you guys would win by 2 TDs. All we heard all week was same Tech offense and no Tech Defense. I said but no, not this year, yet nobody believed me. I said we either lose by 2-3 TD’s or win on the last posession.

And you honestly want to tell me that after the gauntlet of OU, MIZZOU, and OSU, you didn’t think you guys would beat us? After us, who else is left? The Jayhawks? We hung 63 on them. So I don’t buy that you guys thought you’d have 2 or 3 losses. Maybe at the beginning of the season, but certainly not after the start you had.

I know we won’t be as good next year. I don’t live in a fairy tale world. However, I disagree about Leach. News came out today that the admin will be renegotiating his contract after the season, even though he has 2 more years on it remaining. This year could be the one that really helps out our recruiting and maybe we can start getting the level of players that UT and OU have. Obviously not the number, but hopefully talent wise we can comepete.

I guess I just want you to realize that I’m not one of the kids that lives in the fantasy world and thinks we’re at the same level with UT and OU. We’re not and I know that. Just don’t get mad when there comes a day that we will be. Like I said, I really think this year could really help out our program talent wise, but only time will tell.

TG, I’ve already said that I wasn’t really impressed with the officiating Saturday night. All I was saying is the door swings both ways. And Texas ran away with the ‘07 game in the 4th quarter. Basically what you want is to be able to make excuses but when I say something that is a mirror of yours, that particular game was automatically in the bag.

“And don’t be so quick to forget we got shafted in Austin last year guys.”

Yeah, those reviews that were conclusive really cost you a game Texas ran away with.

Hey TechFan06 – Texas was NOT expected to make a run at the MNC. Nobody….NOBODY expected the Horns to be in the national title picture. The majority of (realistic) Horns fans predicted 2-3 losses.
Now 2009….the national title is more realistic. Remember you lose Harrell, Crabtree, and several linemen. And probably Leach as well – so you can expect a good ol’ butt whoopin’ in Austin next year. Remember those wonderful mediocre years (like under Spyke)??
THE University of Texas = the flagship university in Texas.

Ps. The stuff with T. Boone and Gundy was priceless. . . “Gundy, I want to hit you with this oil derrick paper weight.” Oh man, that had me rolling.

I’m new to the site and just wanted to say I enjoy reading all the stuff on here, even though I go to Tech. As far as the game, we held quite a bit and the refs didn’t call it. But at the same time UT played witht he same officials. If I’m UT’s coaches, I’m probablly going to tell my O-line to hold back. And don’t be so quick to forget we got shafted in Austin last year guys. That door swings both ways. I honestly wouldn’t be suprised to hear that Leach told the O-line that since they were Big XII refs, see if we can get away with it. You hate to see guys go down, and especially with a knee injury. Thankfully Orakpo’s okay.

Oh, and Dick, it’s the condescending-prick-I-am-God’s-gift-to-the-world UT fans such as yourself that make this win so much sweeter for fans like me. The fact that this was the Horns’ year to make another run at the MNC, only to lose to us, makes me smile bigger than you can imagine.

To rest of the good and decent UT fans out there, I have a feeling I’ll know how you guys feel here in about 3 weeks. I can see us beating the Pokes, but I don’t think we have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning in Norman.

Hopefully he will be as good as the last WR from Austin High was for OU.

Did the kid from here in Austin commit to Tech? The WR?

One of the nice things about a loosely moderated forum is that people can truly express themselves. Some of those people have the talent of biting sarcasm and witty insightful posts. Others think ’sensative’ is a word. It favors the former over time.
