This whole Bret Bielema horns down has reminded how much I couldn't stand the Arkansas fans all the way back in the 60's.  I really want to beat them tonight, especially now that they are in the SEC.

Cotcher's up in the press box covering the game tonight.  He will have updates throughout the night and we will post them here.

A Bowl Game as big as Texas....

Free advocare supplements for all! Wait, make sure those are not on the NCAA banned list first. Also, Moorer says supplements are for pansies.

 

[Matt Cotcher]

Swoopes is 28/36 for 316 yards, 3 TD's, and 0 INT's on game-opening drives this season. 

He and the team could really benefit from a hot start like that tonight.

Cotcher – while it's empty, scream out "Hickory!"  lol

Anyone else caught off guard by the Black Texas endzone?

I noticed it too. The Arkansas one is the same way.  Color scheme?

Could be. I think there endzone looks a bit more...dark grey than black. 

Like Arky's alt color. 

They could both be black though, that would make sense if it was the Bowl Color scheme.

The last thing I want to see is an injured Nate Boyer.  Hope he is ok.

 

[HornEsch]

Good thing it wasn't Nate! Still hope the guy is ok.

 

[BevoBlake]

Great defensive stop there. While I'm less than happy about where the offense will be getting the ball, nothing says clock management quite like a 93 yard drive.
