Texas is beatable. Despite winning the Big 12 last season and making the playoff, they lost to OU.

I expect the same results this year.

Same guy, same narrative. Hahahaha....


This is known even from your own fanbase and we know teams were doing it (look at Michigan). Venables knew the entire scripted play last year lol, he was either a psychic, the greatest defensive mind of all time, OR..

Waaaaait a minute. The DC is the only one sending in signals to his defense? Eureka! We've found our smoking gun!

Are we still pretending you're an Oklahoma fan? If so, I'll play along.

Of course, Texas is beatable. Every single team in college football is beatable. Any fan saying otherwise is full of shite.

We haven't been tested yet, so I don't know how good we are yet, but I do know that we are deeper this year. In fact, I can't recall a Texas team that is as deep as this team, including 2005. But maybe my memory just sucks as I get older..

Note: I didn't say better.. I said deeper.

The DB he outran was 5-star Denver Harris, who signed with TAMU, transferred to LSU after a year, and then to UTSA this year. He is retarded but he can run fast.

You beat me too it, Denver was a knucklehead in high school, but he would be one of Arkansas' best DBs if he played for them and Manning left him in the dust.

Just sit back and wait for the arrogance and entitlement that overcomes them every year to set in?

Kalen Deboer will probably do the same things he did the last two seasons... Assuming we actually meet at some point

I think we may actually have the deepest team in the SEC, we were built with a 17 game schedule in mind. Our WR corp is top 3, oline is top 3, Ewers is top 3, Manning as a backup is top 3, RB room is our weakest on the offense but still competent.

I'm mostly worried about our run defense against a mobile QB and maybe our DBs have not truly been tested yet, but I believe they drastically improved from last year. The biggest attribute in our favorite is the big game experience and making it to the playoffs last year. I trust our team this season to win a close game. Put this team in place of last year's team and we win the NC undefeated.

He exposed the bad DB play, thats all but gone and then some. I still think Bama will give Texas fits this year almost more than any other team if they face them in the SEC championship or playoffs.

You watch the tape on Oklahoma from last year.


Gabriel had the absolute best game of his career. It was just a game where Texas didn't show up and Oklahoma did. Yall didn't do anything particularly special.

Texas looks good, The truth is the best team you played was Michigan.

This years Michigan is a shell of last year. They struggled last week also. Honestly Michigan is not a top 25 team.

Texas may be best team but competition hasn’t been that tough.

Too early to tell. Haven’t faced a competent offense yet. Still starting the same safeties as last year?

Who cares about stealing signs or signals? Every kid was taught to try to steal signs when we were younger in games. Don’t like that they are stealing signs, then change them! Of course, I’m an Astros fan so what do I know?!
