Texas-Baylor Game Thread

[Run Pincher]

The officiating crew for Baylor is the same one we had at Okie State.
In eight quarters of play, this crew called one penalty for two yards against Baylor and Okie State combined.

Seems like officials need to have their azz kicked.

Also please point out why 7-3 from the previous coach matters given what a turd he was.

Because turd or not, taking over a 3-loss team where the coach was canned for off-field reasons simply isn't the same as taking over a 3-losing-seasons team.

That poster is saying people are happy about 8-4 while I have seen no one say that. He seems happy about 7-3 in a year when the world was retarded.

Ewers had 2 games where he threw in the 40% or so. Even at 55% we'd of had a decent chance to win. Card was throwing them at 68%, so yes, I think we could have won TCU and OSU. I mean I'm happy with 8-4, but one more win and we're playing for the CC. That's the goal, not 3rd place. Let's just hope TCU wins out and gets an NC birth and we get a solid bowl invite.

I generally agree but a game or so of bad Ewers passing was dropped balls. Put in another QB does not fixeth dropped balls. I think

At Texas we should be Top Ten every year.

And when has that ever been the case?

Late 60s to early 70s
Mid 00s to late 00s

Other than that, our history has never been "Top Ten every year". If this is what you believe, it's no wonder most of your posts exude frustration.

Still trying to figure out how Longhorn fans are happy with 8-4? At Texas- 8-4 is not good enough. Improvement from 5-7 -yes. But Sark took us down from 7-3. So I’m comparing him to 7-3.

At Texas we should be Top Ten every year. We are a blue blood program and not Baylor or Kansas State where 8-4 is considered great.

8-4 every year gets you nuked at OU, Ohio State, LSU, USC etc…

Look at the roster turnover since 2020. If Herman had stayed, we would be pulling in players that have little upside that get you to 8-4 or better. Herman was never going to get 2 back to back top 3 classes.

If he just cut the damn thing and got a clean shave the comparisons would go away.

He listened to me.

Good for him. Not only did he look like a bumb, but it kind of reminded me of the guys who wear their high school letter jacket in college. It might have been cool and made you hot **** around SLC but No one cares about about that now.
