Defense looking bad. Offense not looking much better.

Daje rolled an ankle early in the 1st quarter.

SUCKAGE

I still have hope.

I still have hope.

Me too. That 3rd down pass interference just killed us though.

I wish they would call holding on BYU. They are getting away with too much.

Lots of bad call in this game for sure.

Regardless of the outcome tonight Texas is not a BCS caliber team this year. Big 12 is down this season but Mack won't survive the lack of a conference championship.

Manny Diaz might not survive half a season.

Manny Diaz might not survive half a season.

Texas doesn't even deserve a winning season given its horrible performance (from coaches and players alike) at BYU.

If BYU can beat Texas 40-21, Oklahoma can repeat the 65-21 rout in 2012.

The real embarrassment will come when Baylor beats Texas 40-21 or better.

As I've been saying for almost 12 years now - Fire Mack Brown and DeLoss Dudd.

Who knew the storm before the game wasnt going to be shit compared to the storm after

Who knew the storm before the game wasnt going to be $#@! compared to the storm after

Ready for a forecast of the storm after the Oklahoma game and the Baylor game?

Mack Brown has made his hallmark (losing big to unranked teams) again.
