We won.

We did. Hook'em. Will we win one of the next five games? @16, @20, home to #5, @19 and home to #24?

I don’t know. We haven’t played them yet.

Hell of an effort today. Hopefully they can build a little momentum, but it’s a tough road ahead.

Every game in the Big 12 is a quad 1 game. There are no bad teams. So are profile gets much better with each win and not much worse with each loss. Still time to save this team. Just need more performances like yesterday.

Last night the Austin news showed a clip of Terry doing the Eyes of Texas after the game and the emotion he showed was touching. Hard to not pull for someone that has that much pride in the Horns. Hopefully yesterday was the beginning of better things to come.

I get it but I just don't see any light at the end of the tunnel.
hopefully I'm wrong, but Terry's record as a head coach isn't very good.
As for the Horns down, all of the players and fans doing this need to get a life. Your school is too stupid to come up with a sign or cool phrase. At least the cult in CS has that. F off.

I’m glad you don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. It’s usually a train. Texas has a good win tonight on the road against ou.

The boys about to take down blowu. Good team effort tonight. DSU on fire .

 

[Eastexhorn]

Any win is good but a win over ou is great.

 

[Huskie1]

Great road win!! Last 2 games, defense and rebounding has been much better. I’m loving Weaver’s energy! He’s bringing much more to the game than Horton right now.
Tough next couple. Even a split there would be a win.
Nice to finally see this team getting better.

 

[TXFF]

Happy to see Coach Terry get the team motivated and playing harder. I really want to see him succeed.

 

[Sunkist]

Hook ‘em! The doubters have been silenced for now..

 

[longhorn_mig]

Another big win for the good guys. Bring that kind of effort every time, and keep that train rolling down the tracks. On to BYU…

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Big win for Texas. Hopefully, RT is getting this thing turned around. BYU game should be interesting.

Disu, Abmas, Mitchell and Weaver all had a really good game last night. The team shooting 50% from the floor and 40% from 3s helped. The Horns had 40 rebounds to ou's 24, that's the way to attack the glass! That's a far cry from the UCF game where they dominated the boards.

Keep playing like this and we can do some damage the rest of the season!

I really appreciate Rodney apologizing for the deal with the horns down. I know he was upset and got caught up in the moment. Most people wouldn’t have owned up to it and said anything. Rodney is a heck of a likable guy and good ambassador for the University of Texas. I really hope it works out with him here.

 

[Billybass]

Yep, he’s a good man. Which really is more important than being a good coach.
But he’s a good coach too. We went to the final 8 last year, let’s not forget that.
As far as the horns down gesture, those people are jerks. And to be even with a jerk, is not a good place to be.
RT needs to find a way to motivate the team thru the jerks disparaging us.

I agree.... but it was a pretty bad look. If the other coach would have seen it while it was happening, we could have had a really ugly incident - and rightfully so. But after the fact, he acted the best possible way. So bravo for that.

The Weaver discovery makes a tremendous difference. Kid is very fast / athletic and hustles like nobodies business. When Disu gives us inside scoring - it makes all the difference in the world as well.

BYU is always interesting. I have PTSD from some of our football games over the years.

I watched them play the other day.... they have a guy who looks like a 7-4 couch potato. But he is effective. They are big.... play very slow and don't look to handle the ball very well.... but as odd as it may sound with that said, they are pretty good. Lost to Cougar High by 4. I think my game-plan would be to run at every opportunity.
