Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

I’m pissed about going to Houston. 
A kick to the nuts on our way out.

Baylor 8 home games and only 4 away?

With 9 conference games each team will have 5 conference home games one year and 4 the next. If you play 2 games where you pay and one where you do a home and home and things line up you can get to 8 home games. It all works out over time, next year they may only have 6 home games.

True, but maybe it's an opportunity to impress Houston area recruits when we give them a butt kicking.

I posted my question on another board as well and a BU fan responded:

Its Baylor's turn to have 5 conference home games and all 3 non-conference games are at home. Last year Louisiana Tech backed out of a 2-for-1 with Baylor, with Baylor scheduled to go to Ruston this year. With that off the schedule it was backfilled with an FCS opponent.

I know there is a negative history there but honestly, I prefer that over traveling to Cincinnati or Provo.

We play 1 big12 game outside of the state of Texas, at Iowa State. All other away games (TCU, Houston, Baylor) are in state. We do travel to Bama.

As long as Taysom Hill can’t come back I’m ok playing BYU ??. Some of you surely remember that beat down. 
 

I hate not playing OSU. They’ve been pretty good against us, but I’d still like to play them.

Don't worry, I hear they will add some temporary bleachers to help accommodate all the Texas fans.

Lots of discussion on OB about Quins health after the Bama game. They say he made throws against Bama that he never did after coming back....effortless frozen ropes that we never saw again.....

The question is...was Quinn ever healthy?

That was my thought the whole time. Didn’t have as much zip. Played much better in bowl after more rest. Would have been great in bowl game if not for drops.

If Sark knew he was un-healthy, why the hell were we trying to throw the long ball like he was?  He should've ran the damn rock with Bijan and RJ even more then and only had QE3 throw short and intermediate throws. 

I agree 100% that QE3 never looked the same after that injury and looked slightly better in the bowl game.  He will be 100% healthy in April and next season.  He will be a Heisman contender.

See the 2021 season.

Also, everybody seems to forget that QE was on against 0u.

While true, anyone could’ve thrown on that defense that day.

Four touchdowns does not constitute anyone. But the beatdown that day was glorious.

I have to respectfully disagree....he clearly pushed him when he was out of bounds....it was a good call by the refs...in this day and age, he just has to learn to not do that...but football is turning into flag football these days....

I felt really bad for him because he made a mistake in the wrong point in the game...it's sad....but Cincy had every chance to win that game and they didn't....the loss wasn't his fault...

When I watched the replay, Ossai was off balance when he touched/pushed him, whatever it was.  It was a good call, but he was clearly off balance. Momentum carried him, imo.

And, I agree with everything you said.  But, the Chiefs are really banged up!

Hook ‘em!

Because he is stuborn.

That was his first game back.  QE may have been fine until sometime in the OU or Iowa State game he got hit again.

That TD to JT against OU.    It was a thing of beauty.

It isn't Cincinnati late in the season, so I'll take it.

It seems everyone was on against 0U.  0u had one of the worse defenses in ALL of FBS. 

0U Defense 2022
YDs/g    444.8 (121st FBS, 9th BIG 12)
Rush/g    187.5 (106th FBS, 9th BIG 12)
Pass/g    257.3 (115th FBS, 10th BIG 12)
Pont/g    30.0  (99th FBS, 8th BIG 12)

Ewers passes against 0U were just pitch and catch. He didnt seem to have the zip he had previously
