Back to business. We should roll tonight.

I hope it's not too close, because it is hard to watch with Blanks and Galindo talking through masks. They should just do like other networks and comment from the studio.

Need a good dominant rebound game tonight. This will tell me whether they are for real or not. 
Hook ‘em

 

[Huskie1]

That qualifies as a dominant half

Nice bounce back effort by the 'Horns.  Andrew Jones is playing some ball these days....

Way to not let the loss to Tech beat you twice. Impressive win considering we didn’t have GB3, Brock and Kai.

@Aaron Carrara, are Brown, K Jones and Cunningham going to be available for Iowa St or are they in quarantine?

 

[longhorn_mig]

Article says that Brock tested positive. Kai and GB3 had contact so they have to quarantine for 7-10 days.
