It's that time again. Sat, Sep 4 at Rice 3:30 pm -- Sat, Sep 11 Wyoming 7:00 pm -- Sat, Sep 18 at Texas Tech 8:00 pm -- Sat, Sep 25 UCLA TBA -- Sat, Oct 2 at (7) Oklahoma 3:30 pm -- Sat, Oct 16 at (8) Nebraska TBA -- Sat, Oct 23 Iowa State TBA -- Sat, Oct 30 Baylor TBA -- Sat, Nov 6 at Kansas State TBA -- Sat, Nov 13 Oklahoma State TBA -- Sat, Nov 20 Florida Atlantic TBA -- Thu, Nov 25 Texas A&M 8:00 pm In what should be a down year replacing so much talent, UT should still be able to win it's conference and go to a BCS game. This defense may be the best in the country and next years squad may be the best UT has ever had with #1 overall recruit Malcolm Brown committing giving UT it's best RB prospect since Ricky. Also signed a deal to play USC. Add to that the ND deal and the tea leaves set up for Texas to consider becoming independant in the future. GO HORNS!!!!!

Yeah, I pretty much came away with the same thought.

Mack Brown = one helluva CEO, runs the Texas program like a Fortune 500 program (well, one that doesn't need a bailout).

Its amazing to me that Mack Brown really led Texas into becoming "Texas" rather then "UT." I mean you guys aren't even really a college team, you are literally the representation of the best football players from Texas (which along with FL and CA are the 3 hotbeds of football talent). Your recruiting is just absolutely insane, pretty much fill your class with 4/5 Stars when they are juniors. TCU does a good job of getting the best scraps, and Tech could compete when they had a brilliant coach. I'm guessing the demise of SMU also helped, and A&M use to be decent during the 90's didn't they?

USC had to cheat to get that kind of talent. And FL seems to have a revolving door on who has the state (Miami, FSU, and currently Florida). Whereas Texas has essentially maintained it for nearly a decade with no stop in sight.

Anyways, IMO, you guys are always a failure if you don't win a NC with your talent pool Where as with our talent pool, we are a success if we win 4 games

It's not just the football either. He's really helped create the Texas "brand". When I went to Disney World a few months back, I kept seeing kids and sometimes entire families wearing Texas gear. They outnumbered other teams (combined), even Florida teams, 3-to-1. I was shocked at how many people were sporting Longhorn stuff. The first guy I saw wearing a shirt, I approached and asked him if he was from Texas. Nope, he just liked 'em.

Tech is playin' dirty! Somebody needs to lock them in a shed for a little while. Teach 'em some manners.

The stats say the defense dominated but it sure didn't feel like it. The Oline sucks plain and simple and will get exposed against real competition. This is definately a transition year.

holy s**t, WTF is wrong with you guys? Losing to UCLA at about the half?!?!?

I warned you that UCLA's D has some playmakers and your Offense would struggle early, but 4 turnovers in a half?

And I even specifically mentioned watch out for Ayers (1 int, 1 FF) Did you listen? Nope. You thought a Sun Devil is just a drunken bafoon when it comes to football.

This offense flat out sucks. The Oline is mediocre at best and the main culprit of said suckiness.
