I think the SEC had to pay the Big 12 some buyouts for TX-OU to leave 2 years before contract expired.

Poor aggy
RIP Coach Holtz! You’ll be missed but I know you’re in heaven.
What's "basketball"?...
None other than making the Big 10 happy since they have a 9 game schedule

It’s a cool city, but imo not what it used to be.
Was such a cool town when I was there in early 90s. That’s about when Austin was ranked in one of those “best places to live” lists. The downward spiral began. Culture seems more like California now than Texas. The surrounding areas are still Texas but it’s sad that the city itself has become such a liberal crap hole. I’ve already told my daughter that if she wants to go to UT she’ll have to get a scholarship because I’m not paying for her to marinate in that crap for 4 years.
All that said I hope the football and baseball teams win all the games…

Ran into Earl Campbell a couple of times years ago when I lived in Victoria. Heck of a nice guy and would talk your ear off. He was actually grocery shopping both times.
Yeah I bumped into him another time at a gas station near downtown Austin. Was super friendly.
Still trying to figure out who's going to block for our new skill players. Portal fail by Sark IMO.

That man is a man’s man.
He’s an awesome guy as well. Met him that same year when I was a bouncer/bartender on Sixth St. He came in to our bar (Maggie Mae’s) when he was starting his sausage business. Super approachable and gave a ton to the homeless community in Austin.
Jack Lambert said he was the most punishing RB he ever faced.
I think half the kids playing today would wet their pants if they had to go against him.
Can you imagine a college athlete saying this today?

Getting LSU towards the end of the season will be tough since they will have had time to really gel.
Aggie staying healthy with Reed will be interesting but for that matter keeping Arch healthy will be our biggest issue i think.
Right at Mizzou on the road (likely at night) is a potential trap; they'll be solid next year.

Texas State W Ohio State W UTSA W @ Tenner W Oklahoma W Florida W Ole Miss W @ Mizzou W @ LSU W Arkansas W @ Aggie W SEC CG W
I see 1-2 losses between OSU, OU, @Mizzou, @LSU, @Aggie.
So 10-2 and a 7-9 seed in CFP

Then why did he bolt on Lsu to go to Alabama?
Yeah was wondering the same thing.

It takes talent, coaching, and culture. Mark Cuban bought talent for IU. They also had an average age of 23.5 which was pretty crafty.
But heart will beat talent every time. Or at least most times

re: Question for Georgia fans

What really showed though was that the team NOTICEABLY began playing harder the second he got hurt and Gunner took the field against ya'll in the title game.
I remember this very well I think we even had a couple of picks on him (to no avail as our offense couldn’t love the ball). and in the second game when Gunner came in I knew nothing about him and said “we got this” but he was tougher than Beck. Anyway I remember he started being a little inconsistent in 2024 and so was wondering if the pressure just got to be too much or whatever.
By seriously every time I saw the dude play this year the announcers started w that stuff.
And two natty's. Very respectable
Question for Georgia fans
Posted by HTX Horn on 1/20/26 at 2:21 pm
Not trolling here, just a question about Carson Beck. What was the deal with him and Georgia? In every game I've watched of him & Miami this year one of the announcers always has to talk about "how happy he is now" and "how much he loves his players now", making it sound like he was miserable at Georgia or something. Kirby always seemed to like him as well so just didn't understand if there's a back story or something.
We're in an adjustment period. Some programs/coaches are ahead of the curve because they have the means (IU, Texas Tech); some are behind and trying to catch up (Clemson). Some have been observing, learning, and are now responding/applying (Texas, Georgia).
The SEC isn't in decline, there's just more competition now from non-traditional sources.

I can’t believe LSU went 19-11 in the SEC last year. They were so dominant in the post season.
