Horns-Utes Alamo Bowl Game Thread

[LousianaHorn]

I'm sick of this "they didnt want to be there" crapola. A player should #1-Have enough pride in himself to do his best every game, #2-Have enough pride in his teammates not to let them down and #3- pride in his school to want to properly represent it. I guess thats to old school...............rant done Im off my soapbox

It's almost as if Texas beats what is perceived to be a superior team, there must have been some excuse for the loser. The search begins for that excuse immediately following the final gun. I'm sick of it too, but begin to win consistently and the excuses will run out.

No ****. Just use the eye test. We were a better team. Dominated both sides of the LOS. Had a better QB. Had better receivers. The reality is Utah beat absolutely no one and is not a top 11 team or whatever. They'd have gotten **** canned worse that OU. But we still played a hell of a game I don't care who you are playing.

Oddity -- Texas has more bowl wins than ou this decade. Literally the worst decade in Texas football history.

Correct JF, but the land thieves will counter with their losses of late were in the CFP.

O-4 is not a record worth bragging about.

 

[BurntOrangeLH]

Well, first of all, playing a true freshman on December 31 is not like September or October. Second, against Utah, dbs were less the worry. If we had had to play last night without Roach, Coburn and Ossai, that would be more like Big 12 games being down 4 dbs.

You must have missed the several critical plays by Adimora. Like I said, he learned from his previous mistakes.

O-4 is not a record worth bragging about.

Neither is our record against OU over the last 20 years or the fact that we have NEVER been to the CFP to lose.

Fantastic win yesterday and a great game to attend! If Texas is not in a NY6 Bowl/Playoff Bowl, then there is nothing better than destroying a Pac12 Team in San Antonio! Hook 'em Horns!

Kind of like aggy saying all their losses were to top 10 teams?

I'd rather be 0-4 in CFP than 3-1 in a different "major bowl"

I'm guessing if a coach goes 0-4 in the CPF and also gets clobbered like OU did about 98% of this board would be screaming for the coaches head.

Keep mom happy = a good strategy

This really is what losers say. It's sad. Sack up. Take it like a man. Give your opponent respect in public, even if you do think your team took the game too lightly.

This makes me angry at baker Mayfield for some reason. Lol

Any reason is a good reason to be mad at Baker Mayfield, even if it is simply a cloudy day.

Btw any news as to why Jake Smith didn't play?

He played in the second half.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

He played in the second half.

Well then.

Uhhhh .... 2005 and 2009?

 

[zuckercanyon]

Uhhhh .... 2005 and 2009?

Championship games yes but not in CFP. Haven't won the conference since 2009....and counting....

 

[BurntOrangeLH]

Btw any news as to why Jake Smith didn't play?

He was on all special teams and about 3 or 4 plays on offense.

 

[BurntOrangeLH]

They were in the final games twice, won once.

 

[zuckercanyon]

Well, who was president then? It's been a spell....

 

[SabreHorn]

I said "CFP", which OU has been to four times and we have NEVER been to. It did not exist in 2005 and 2009.

 

[horninchicago]

Well....duh.

Seems so long a go. Millard Fillmore maybe.

 

[Austin_Bill]

The Alamo bowl reminded us of one very important thing.

We are still Texas and Utah is still Utah. I feel sorry for the recruits who forgot this lesson. Now they have to live with it. Good luck to them, you have just seen the best they will ever do.

 

[VYFan]

Well, who was president then? It's been a spell....

Bush, then Obama; if we can add Trump, we won’t have missed a a president. OU won last when Clinton was president, so there’s that.

Won it all....conference title? That would then be DJT....

 

[Austin_Bill]

Here is my favorite stat. Since Mack Brown, every time Texas has won the Conference they have played for the National Title.
