I think Texas covers tomorrow. But I’m more interested to see what it means for our season. We are really really young on offence. A 55-7 game or something crazy may create a spiral like last years OU game.

It's very funny Saban had to learn from the media the Big 12 made the horns down hand sign into a taunting penalty. I get why he wouldn't know. He's not used to the idea of a school being both so thin skinned as well as so powerful in their conference to be able to get this kind of special rule put in place.

I also wonder how Texas is going to handle going to the SEC where rules won't be written to protect their delicate feelings.

Lol.

Your depth chart take and now this. You are on a roll. Keep it going!

Am I wrong here?
Well yes, the AD and players don’t really care if it is or isn’t a penalty.

For the fact it’s a penalty, it’s no different then when a player holsters a gun against tech or throws up a peace sign when they blow past them. It’s taunting. If it’s not a rule when we go to the SEC, we aren’t going to care.

Anyways. I think today is going to be the game that makes Texas go 4 freshman on the offensive line. Our senior right tackle is pretty bad, and I assume that is going to be very noticeable today.


My score prediction 45-27 Bama. They’ll get a special teams touchdown or a turnover by the defence in plus territory.

The roster talent composite for offence is rather close. Defence it’s like Alabama by probably a long long range.

Roll Tide baby.

They are going to eat the Longhorns lunch today and we can fire up the “is Texas back?” speedometer.

Future Seahawk Bryce Young puts up 5 TDs.

My son has hockey evaluations this morning so will have to PVR most of this one.

@GKJ If you want to earn enough $$$$ to fund Lamar Jackson's next contract, then go with The Bear (who was 2-1 last week) on these matchups:

aTm minus 18.5 over App. State
Kentucky plus 6 over The Gata
Miss. State minus 10.5 over Arizona

I’m very curious about that A&M game. The defence is a lot better than North Carolina, but offence not at all

I have to say by the way, last week I was 15-2. Too bad I don’t actually bet.

Corso's Headgear Selection......."We're Back".....in Austin, TX....where Jordan Spieth & 2022 PGA Player of the Year Scottie Scheffler honed their skillz! :yo:

Factoid: Lee is 21-10 when donning The Elephant, and 7-5 when donning Bevo. :nod:

Sign of the day: "'Bama fans would hate this sign if they could read it" :laugh:

Celebrity Picker: Glen "Hangman" Powell, from "Top Gun, Maverick", a Texas alum, who obviously thinks that Texas will indeed be back after this game! :yo: :amazed:

Lee: Says his record is 6-1 when doing headgear picks at Texas......his only loss was when he picked Texas, so he dons The Elephant :biglaugh:

Pretending Longhorns fans don’t care about the horns down…. Come on. I live here.

Back to back strong defensive plays by Texas to force a FG attempt. Tackle for loss followed by a sack.

FG is good.

3-0

Bama’s o-Line has been rough last year and so far this year don’t know why
