Hornish Kin

I agree. He certainly showed poise in last year’s sec championship game v Texas when Beck got knocked out of the game. Had his head almost taken off near the end of that game and held on to the ball. I admire that. Hope we get to him better this year.

Yes. I agree on both points. Can’t read too much into one game. I saw a kid who got thrown into a difficult situation but also saw some seriously good throws v a superb defense. Game v A&M will be competitive and close. Glad it’s in Austin.

Good win. Hat tip. And good for the rest of the SEC if LSU buys in to the thought that they are unbeatable. The winner will have a loss or two.

Arch will be fine. Those who watched the game saw flashes of talent, including a couple of NFL-quality completions - against one of the best defenses in the country. People love to slam him because of his name. My hunch is he gets that and will keep grinding to prove his critics wrong. This experience will make him better.

Longhorn here. I agree with some of what you say. The best of Texas was built on the grit and courage of people who came from East of the Mississippi River. And the Rice comment by Mt V is just misguided. I loved having Rice in the SWC just as having Vandy in the SEC is a complete positive. Given the usual anti-Texas that usually appear on this board I’m just surprised there aren’t more folks saying they’d hate to be a fan of Texas. Regardless, I’d tell them it’s good to be a Longhorn and always will be.

Assume you aren’t including Texas pre-SEC.

Yes. 5 star safety. And solid person and baseball player. Will likely play at next level whichever sport he chooses.

He is a freshman, albeit an extremely talented and competitive one. Give him some grace. I noted that he settled down for the rest of the series

And Arkie just got run-ruled on a walk-off strike out to lose the first two v LSU. Hmmm.

Live in the present. Horns up! Good to be a Longhorn.
