Joe Bergeron game time decision vs
Uh oh. Joe Bergeron is reportedly a game time decisions today versus Missouri due to a tweaked hamstring.
Add to that an injured (but reportedly playing) Malcolm Brown and that amazing running game the Horns worked so hard to create the last two games may be a lot different today. All Wild Fozzy all the time? Is Brown at least 90% strength? Can David Ash still hit the deep ball if...

Nick Saban can’t be pleased by crying Alabama fan
Another fan brought to tears (and public shame) by his football team’s performance on the field. And this time it’s not a little boy. It’s an Alabama fan who is inconsolable by his team’s inability to play remotely good or entertaining football in their loss to LSU last night:
I'd be upset too if I wore a suit and tie to football games.

Annihilation in Ames
Last night we were treated to a show in Ames, Iowa when the Longhorns came in and started from the onset of annihilating the Iowa State Cyclones. It was a steady dose of passing and running throughout the game. While most Longhorn fans were confident that this would be a sure victory, after last season’s fiasco, there had to some within the Longhorn family that was nervous and...

WTH Moments: Lost my 12 Pac
We have completed a quarter of the season and it’s time to start looking at conference match ups for the Horns. But before we get back to football, I want to look back at Realignment Armageddon 2.0. We can surmise that the Big 12 is back together and everything is back to normal. (Who believes that?) I do think we need to take a look at what was lost. Here is what I believe...

Texas is 3-0? Who would’ve guessed it?
At the Start of the season, I was figuring Texas was looking to bounce back with a solid 8 win campaign and I had them being 2-1 after the first three games, but that was the best case scenario. Fast forward to the season and the Longhorns just had their way with UCLA and are now 3-0. This is a surprising revelation for any fan, even the most optimistic and diehard fan had to figure...

Gilbert goes out with a whimper
Garret Gilbert is the most polarizing quarterback at Texas since Chris Simms, and even though he won the starting job, coming out of camp, he was not the fans choice to be the starting quarterback. While he had a decent night against Rice in week one, there was nothing shown in that game that made anyone feel that he was ready to take the job and run with it. Nobody in the Texas...
