While we’re numbering the days…
I like it when they have the same number over multiple years, for multiple reasons (as I get older it’s easier to remember). It seems like more players change their numbers throughout their time at Texas in more recent history. I think those that switch often (every year), make a particular number less synonymous with that player.

If you're new to OTF this week...
I couldn’t sleep either after getting back to the hotel. Watched every report on the tv about the game. It was so surreal!

Texas has the hardest schedule in the country according to Bill Connelly
Love the graphic - our schedules are more similar than I expected.

Michael Dell
The most competitive school at Texas is nursing with a 3% acceptance rate!! I was shocked to read that because you don’t hear about as much as the Business and Engineering schools.

Texas has the hardest schedule in the country according to Bill Connelly
I respect Ohio State for adding the most competitive teams in the SEC to their non-conference schedule the next few years. As a fan, I love that Texas likes to schedule one big time program for an out of conference game. I get the argument against it, but man it’s fun to have big games with teams we don’t normally play. I hope the selection committee gets their head out of their a$$ so we can keep scheduling these games. Who had the bright idea that anyone is going to want to watch not 1, but 2 G5 schools in place of Texas or Notre Dame - crazy!!

The goat conversation
It’s the funniest thing to watch them run when they get excited - their back legs stiffen up and they are only able to use the front legs, dragging the back ones behind them.

Goat kids playing king of the hill - one of their favorite games! Here’s one of our fainting goats climbing the tree.

Needing advice.
I agree with a lot of what was said above. A couple of other things that helped me. You will go through the 5 stages grief - just be prepared for those feelings (therapy or a book can be of benefit). I chose therapy after a close friend’s suggestion; she gave me some great tools. One of the best was when I couldn’t stop thinking about it, she told me to just get up and do anything (drink of water, snack, restroom, walk outside - anything) - to break my train of thought - it worked wonders. Journaling can also help you work through your thoughts and emotions - I don’t like journaling, but it did help during that time. It sounds crazy, but writing things down can manifest them (there is science behind it). I was devastated & blindsided also, but it turned out to be blessing!

Mack Brown Memory (True story)
I think our brains work the same way- it is so frustrating. And as I get older, it seems to get worse!!

Mack Brown Memory (True story)
I’m horrible with names - my mind will go blank. A perfect example, in college I introduced one of my closest friends (of about 10 yrs) to a blind date with the wrong name - she knew me & just reintroduced herself; didn’t tell me about until the next day. The worst was when I went to introduce my boyfriend (future spouse) of 3 yrs to someone and all I could remember was his last name (which is what his friends called him) - he had to introduce himself. It’s like the pressure of remembering a name makes me freeze and forget. What makes it worse is I have a very unique name that people tend to remember 😵💫

I still call it South West Texas State University; it’s a pretty campus from what I remember visiting someone back in my college years.

Cig's coaches poll vote
Respect for Indiana’s coach - looks like he used the eye test of how teams performed at the end of the season instead of just their overall record.

Give Us Your Thoughts!
I love that I can check in daily and know that I’m up to date on everything Longhorns sports. I especially appreciate the mostly cordial interactions by members and the respectful way the moderators ensure threads don’t get totally derailed. OTF has the best staff out there - the info & knowledge I’ve learned from the staff and posters has made going/watching games that much more fun. I really appreciate the more in depth analysis of tendencies & specific plays - having obviously never played football, I’ve learned a lot reading and listening to y’all - thank you!!!
