*****GAME THREAD: Texas Longhorns vs. Kansas Jayhawks*****

[Johnny Depp]

Bijan is a great great player but you just listen to him he is a great person. He’s a great ambassador for the University of Texas. Can’t say enough good things about him. 

Such a nice guy even to strangers like me. Smiling all the time. Wishing him the best. Kinda shame we didn’t win a title for him.

So do we carry this performance to the Baylor game? 

That’s the mystery with this program and team.

old school type win

I LOVE IT!

Missed most of the game in and out of reception while traveling but really glad to see a lull away win. The type of imposing our will type win of old. Would have liked to see a shutout but glad the team and coaches came out the second half and didn’t coast. Let’s hope it is another step toward no longer sucking.

Honestly with our talent this is the way we should be beating these teams 

Our talent is young and a lot of times makes mistakes young players will make.  If we're playing bad next year, then we should be worried.

Finally watched the game.  Was flying back to Hawaii and missed it. 

The OL looked great yesterday and the Def had another solid performance.  Seems like both units are finally starting to communicate and gel together. 

QE looked solid and did nothing to disrupt the game plan put in place.  He wasn't flashy nor was he a game changer.  Nice game to build off from. He will need to be on the mark next week because Baylor will certainly use the TCU game plan and stack the box.

RBs stole the show.  While the OL looked solid, Bijan made them look even better.  What can you say about BR?  He is clearly the best player on the field.  Also, the future looks bright for J. Brooks.

Texas has a chance to finish the season strong with a win Friday and end up with the record all of us kind of expected. I know we all got caught up with visions of this team winning 10 or 11 games, but 8-4 is exactly where this team is.  Young team with growing pains.  A 3 game improvement over last year is a upward trajection and I'll take it.

I always hate saying, there is always next year, but this one just feels a little different.

I read the game thread and some of the posts/posters made me laugh however I wasn't laughing with them.

Good win by the team, on the road in conditions they're not used to. Next week, the Baptists come to town.

I had all but decided not to bother checking into the game day  until the game was over other than the initial Texas Fight post. I get all the drama and ignorant comments I need dealing with 6th-8th graders.?

I still remember fire PK posts earlier this year. 

 

[Steelhammer]

Shouldn’t be a Td.  Let’s still run it for a TD.

Ewers looks very bad and inaccurate.

Somethings don't change.

I refuse to be on any Texas website during a game. In fact, I shut my computer down. 

The loonies during a game make the loonies during the week look like amateurs ?

Great idea.

I may be wrong but it sure seems like there are several posters heavily invested in the failure of this coach and qb. I sometimes wonder if they realize that if both are successful, Texas is successful. If they aren’t then they will be replaced. Either way, I’m a Texas fan and will continue to hope for the best for whoever is leading the team.

The Texas defense has improved tremendously this season over last season. TYPK. The offense except for Bijan has been hit or miss from one half to another.

I don't know about several posters, but there is definitely one poster on here who has admitted he is heavily invested in the failure of our head coach. 

And it's inexcusable that he is still allowed to post on this board.

The Texas defense has improved tremendously this season over last season. TYPK. The offense except for Bijan has been hit or miss from one half to another. 

Typically, defenses improve faster than offenses because there is less precision involved. Plus, the defense has more older and mature players than the offense which is starting a lot of underclassmen. As a result, I expect to see more consistency out of the offense next season and anticipate a 10 win season at a minimum.
