Tks for the info!

Bama will have the best overall defense we've played. I just haven't seen how ya'll have handled a scrambling QB. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just haven't seen the tape and Tebow just isn't the best comparison. On the other side... TX toughest game on D was against a scrambling QB named Jerrod...

One other matchup that I think will be key and I just don't know how either fanbase can KNOW how it will work out... Colt's ability to scramble. If Bama is playing zone defense... Colt can buy time with his feet and eventually find holes in the zone. If Bama is playing man defense... Colt...

The advantage TX has is that we know your personnel pretty well. Your seniors were on the squad when Applewhite was the OC their. So I imagine that Applewhite can speak very fluently on the strengths and weaknesses of much of the Bama personnel. Not a huge advantage, but one that Bama will...

Surely you guys understand the subtleties of playing the underdog versus scaring your team. Sometimes with 18-22 year olds you HAVE to exaggerate to get your message across. You may over-exaggerate to make sure your team stays focused and pays their opponent their proper respect. Again...

I hate to relive 2008 again. But we beat BOTH the north and south champion that year. Something that could NOT be said about the 2 other teams in the tiebreaker. Texas was the only one of the teams that didn't have a home game between the other two. Tech beat Texas at home. OU beat Tech at...

The "napoleon" approach worked pretty fine for us the last time. When Colt found out that he lost the heisman, he texted his coach, "Game On." I imagine the local Bama media might be saying its even handed... but from most outlets I've seen... they don't even think Texas should be IN THE GAME...

Rule 12, Section 3, Article 6. "The replay official may correct egregious errors, including those involving the game clock, whether or not a play is reviewable." If the officials can... and THEY OFTEN DO, put 5 seconds back on the clock after a review changing the clock from 4:20 left in the...

One other pet peeve of mine. The refs didn't GIVE us the Nebraska game. Come on. They made the right call. Go here. YouTube - Texas Longhorns Last Second Against Nebraska in Big 12 Title Game Pause it as soon as the video hits the :48 second mark. You'll see the referee calling the...

I don't think we'll single cover JJ the entire game. We'll mix coverages up depending on blitz schemes etc. But I do think our BASIC strategy will be to sick Aaron Williams on him. When we can disguise it and get away with it I do think we'll bracket him or double cover him. We know that's...

Just got through reading these 16 pages. (slow day at the office) Let me give you some of my thoughts.. Many have made the correct observation about the bye week issue. There is more to it than that, though. OU game. Colt Mccoy had a sinus infection/flu for a 3 game stretch. At the end...

Just look at the box scores of the Baylor & Okie State & Mizzou games. Look at the score at the half and then look at the final score. Us Texas fans WISH Colt would play more. Truth is he's only played all 4 qtrs of 3 games this year. The running joke was that Muschamp allowed A&M to...

I don't think we'll need to double JJ. Again, we've grown accustomed to limiting or containing big WR threats this year and last. Whether it be Dez Bryant or Crabtree or Maclin or Danario Alexander. I think we put one guy on JJ and can contain him. Not saying he might not break one, but...

Yeah... you'd have to eliminate conference champ games. I agree that 3 games with one opponent would stink.

in my 12 team format... 6 conference champs are in. 2 champs from the non 6 majors are in and then 4 wild-cards are in. However... unlike NFL... seeding is NOT based on conference championships per se. For example this year, Florida could be seeded #4 ahead of the Big 10 champ Ohio...
