Texas 24 ou 10

There are the obvious stops like Edinburgh (castle is a must, and do a walking tour), but definitely get out into the countryside. Take a day and just drive through the highlands. If you can find a festival going on when you’re there, they are great fun. Hike a section of Hadrian’s Wall., it’s an incredible experience. If you’re golfers, play a course, any course. If you can get to Aran Island, it’s a great day trip - take the ferry over in the morning, rent a bike and go around the island, buy a sweater that’s way too heavy to ever wear in Texas, and then ferry back in the evening. Eat the local dishes - British food is much better than its reputation, although they do eat some disgusting stuff so if you’re not sure what something is, ask. have a great trip!

52-3. And Will Ferrell is a talentless guy that never grew past 7th grade humor.

I thought that at the time and looking at your screenshots, it’s clearer that would have had a much better chance than the sneak. That’s what OSU did on their first TD.

Despite Arch's struggles, the penalties, and the receivers' issues, the offense played well enough to win this game. We lost because of one reason: Sark's playcalling in the red zone. The QB sneak on our first time there was a terrible call. When we ran it on the 4th play of the game, we barely made a foot. Give it to Baxter who can hit the line with a head of steam and we have a much better chance of scoring. The next time in the RZ, we had 3rd and 3 at the 8. We had been running the ball well on that drive. If we were going to go for it on 4th down, which we clearly were, we should have run it on 3rd down. If we don't make it but are close, we can either run or pass on 4th down. If we get stuffed on 3rd down, then we pass on 4th. Given how we had been moving the ball, I like our chances to make 3 yards on 2 runs.

Third and three and you don't run it twice?

What a terrible call. Give it to Baxter with some momentum going toward the goal line.

Now I understand. You’re doing your critical thinking at a 4th, 5th, or 6th grade level.

Roschon for the unselfishness and leadership he displayed. Helped cement Sark's culture right from the start. Whitt for his perseverence and work ethic. Brandon Collins for his perseverence. Finally fulfilled the early expectations of him his final year. Finished strong.

O State is apparently our primary competition for him now. Can they tell a similar story?

I don’t think they had actually called interference, they just reviewed the play because none of the umpires had a good view of it.

Is he still OVing to Texas?

Manning's mobility will add explosives in two ways. As said above, he'll run for a few, if his play last year was an indication. However, I think more impact will come from him being to scramble to extend plays, allowing receivers to break open downfield. This was probably the biggest deficiency in Quinn's game.

I like it; hope it becomes a regular feature.

Welcome to the best Texas football in the market. You're a great addition to an already outstanding team!

Never understood booing players for their play on the field. They are doing the best they can and they are what the coaches believe to be our best option. Do those booing think they could go out there and do better? Now for kneeling or other poor behavior, booing may be appropriate, but not for their play.

Has joyner put on any weight since HS?

Will Nansen still be with us next year? I’d think he’d be a prime DC candidate.

Maybe his strategy is to get a year of two on-field experience at ou and then portal to a championship-level team. Try to get the best of both worlds.

Ryan Williams to the portal is the biggest shock of the portal season to me. Why would he leave what seems to be a good situation for him and one he has thrived in. Hopefully he'd like to come play with his HS QB, although he'll likely be gone to the NFL before Lacey becomes the starter.

I realized after the game that I had never heard his name mentioned. He apparently blanketed whoever he was covering so they never threw his way.

If PK doesn't win the Broyles award, they should stop giving it out.

I live in S. Carolina and I can tell you that here, everyone wants Texas to lose. They all think atm is a joke, but they DO NOT want Texas to come in and win the SEC our first year. It's like a whole conference of Nebraskas.

One of my daughters visited atm when she was considering colleges - we lived in Houston and several of her friends were going there so she wanted to check it out. They were doing construction on the stadium at the time and the view of the scoreboard was blocked from the dogs' graves, so they had a fish (freshman corps member) stand by the graves with a white board that they'd write the score on. When they explained that to my daughter she said "Uh, no" and she and my wife immediately left.

Since the other two Outland finalists are DL’s, Banks has in effect been declared the best offensive lineman in the country!
