I too was there, with my Dad.  I will never forget that incredible team, that season, that day, that game and the euphoria of beating  ND and winning a NC. It has been far too long since we beat the Irish.... Time for an epic upset on Saturday!!!

Less than 51 hours to kickoff!

Among a number of key parts of this game, the 2 biggest for the Horns IMHO: 1. OL success 2. Defense must impose it's will on ND

That is a huge break for Doyle - Jones was a beast and the OL may have had to often double team him and/or call running plays away from his spot.  I think Doyle sould be able to handle Tillery most of the time one-on-one.

Well what a huge surprise! Damage control and CYA time at BU.

Momentum must be sustained people.  The McLane Stadium monument ....very recent winning on the Brazos. Art Briles.  You watch, the decision makers and cigar chompers at BU will come up with some kind of tortured and convoluted defense of Briles about this thug and his crime.... I could be...

This is stain on BU, this is really UGLY.  If that woman was my daughter or a family relative I'd sue their asses off. This Baylor scandal is as deeply disgusting and nefarious as the murder scandal of that basketball player a few years ago.  So, we know how the Judge sentenced Ukwachu... very...

This story is disgusting and disgraceful. I think they knew. Baylor may be the next thug U.

No. J.B., some sacrifices must be made for the betterment of the Horns... I have never burned a sofa before but I am willing to do it to please the Longhorn gods that will demand it after a monumental upset victory in South Binge.

Let's hope that it is a perfect storm game for Charlie Strong and the young Texas Longhorns... everything coming together and an epic upset of the Irish.  It could happen... if it does, I have already told my oldest son he will help me drag our den sofa out to the back yard, set it on FIRE and...

the loss of their DT was huge and their starting Center from last season quit so they will be breaking in a new Center... so things won't be so rosy for the Irish in the trenches on Sept. 5th.

I am loving me some Frosh Malik baby!! Frosh Hagar is nasty - just like his Dad!! I strongly suspect Frosh McNeal will be the next Finley / Thomas at TE!! The frosh at ou suck !! OK let's play Where's Waldo?  OK, how many times have I used the word "Frosh" in this post?

SHA - this thread was chock full o good info and tips for me and my lawn.  Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

No band, no Bevo, next thing you know they will say no Chaps Girls! :angry: Hey, next year when ND visits let's enforce the DKR no creepy damn leprechaun policy!

My understanding is the visiting band stands / sits on the sidelines @ ND so they do not take up seats in the stands.

UT opens the 2015 season on a nationwide prime time TV broadcast against storied ND in South Bend.  A difficult and expensive ticket to get. The Longhorn Band will NOT be traveling to the game.  Do you know why?  You can thank Stevie P's budget cuts. To me, this is disgraceful and...

Welcome Will, we look forward to your every word on the Horns.  There is a lot of serious bidness to cuss and discuss about our beloved Horns. Most worthy SirHornsAlot, Joeywa & Juan please gather the HS brothers, break out the Jim Beam, along with the traditional straps, chains and paddles...

Recruiting has changed in the last few years... commitments don't seem to mean as much as they used to.  These kids network via social media with one another and influence some to change their minds, especially closer to NSD.  I really wanted the Horns to get Robinson and I suspect he will stick...

Hey I'm fine with 6' 1".  Kid has a strong arm, quick release, wants to play and lead UT to glory. Good athletic bloodlines... Dad is Steve Buechele, former Texas Ranger 3rd baseman who had a rocket arm.

I was ecstatic and think I remember I did have a couple of tears after the 1977 ou vicktree, but I had a HOT date, so I wanted to be strong... like bull (or BEVO) !!!
