*****GAME THREAD: #11 TEXAS LONGHORNS vs. #3 ALABAMA CRIMSON TIDE*****

[Earl Nobis Jefferson]

This was All Gas No Brakes tonight. 

Totally was, so much confidence in his team.  Same on the defensive side too.  Was a huge difference

 

[DBut82]

Great game!   Although Alabama doesn’t look as good with the new young QB, it’s very impressive to beat them at home by double digits.  Defense looks improved for the most part besides giving up some big plays in the 4th.  Anthony Hill is going be a star.  
 

Wife is a little pissed we beat her alma mater but I loved it

Hookem

DMAC!!! Good to see you post brother!

 

[Earl Nobis Jefferson]

Not sure where the band is but they sound just fine

Wife and I were saying same thing. Even without the whole band being there, rhey just sounded better

If this win doesn't trigger a strong recruiting finish, I don't know what would. Helps that atm and tt lost.

 

[NEOkHorn]

Lots of props to Burke. What a game. Think he has settled the debate about who is opposite Sorrell.

I wish there was a way for me to listen to Austin sports talk on Monday morning

Sports radio?

Just hop over to inside texas and listen to their podcasts. They will cover this game from all angles with some real useful insights.

 

[TXFF]

In his postgame interview, Sark said it was Bama's shading coverage to XW in the second half that opened up the passing game to the other receivers. Last week's game featuring XW was no coincidence. Sark plays chess.

 Walking out the door with the Big 12 trophy in hand would make it stronger. Can't waste this win by laying any eggs during conference play.

thats one of the things I miss about living in Austin, back in the late 90s it was all local sports talk with Bucky and Aaron, then the syndicated shows Rome-Kornheiser-Sports Pig all took over

Best game I think he’s called since he’s been here. 

It’s much easier to call a game when you have a veteran o-line and QB who can make all the throws and keeps his head about him.

Hey, you can still listen like I wrote above. Rod Babers replaced Bucky on the morning show recently. As much as I love Bucky, Rod is even better. He's as good of a student of the game as anyone and always has insightful analysis.

The IT podcasts are good, too, but The Horn morning show with Rod and Erin is excellent as well as entertaining. You don't have to be in Austin to enjoy it.

B12...B12...B12...B12....wait

 

[Hiwood]

I know it too early to tell but this has to have a MAJOR impact on recruiting

That's what I'm thinking. We should call up some flip candidates. Corian Gipson, come on down.

I want Sark to put a big, framed poster on the wall behind his desk of Texas beating Alabama for all recruits to see........like Saban has in his office of Bama beating Texas

 

[TXFF]

Does anyone else suspect that Bama fans (and Saban) are starting to feel like this iteration of their dynasty is starting to slip away with Texas joining the SEC and NIL in play now? I have a feeling that thought is starting to seep into their heads.

 

[RickyFlair]

My hope before the game was for our guys to bully Bama at home. They rushed for two more yards than we did, they gave up 5 sacks to our 0.

We won the battle of the Big Uglies and that’s HUGE!!!

Ewer’s was a stud tonight. 
 

Horns Up!!!

 

[Hiwood]

there are going to be some drunk Longhorn boosters on the flights back from Alabama
