Anyone else thinking . . .

I beg to differ on conference affiliation....Aggy has pulled in commits for defensive guys we were after this recruiting season...WTH.... Aggy over us ???? Why ???? CONFERENCE AFFILIATION no doubt.

I realize it ain't final till February, but why would they even consider Aggy over us as a defensive player with Strong here, other than conference ?

I would like the Big12 to get a team in the play offs. THAT would help Texas in recruiting. Being in a crap conference isn't good for recruiting. An undefeated Tech probably wouldn't get in. TCU on the other hand, since snubbed last year, would stand a better chance of making it in if they win out. Now I say that with the probability that we will not win the conference. Us winning the Big 12 would be best for Texas of course.....

I disagree GBT. TCU getting in would help TCU recruiting a lot more than it would help Texas.

Not all the good players want to go to A&M or the SEC, and for the last couple of years TCU and Baylor have been more attractive than Texas or Oklahoma.

That's got to change, & I think that we are on track to do that now. We needed to have a team that is exciting and fun to watch, and I believe we are getting there.

Exciting football + a winning record = great recruiting tools. That's why they are on top right now. When our brand of football is as exciting as theirs, Baylor and TCU will fade into the sunset. It's already begun.

Hook'em!

. . . that Tech could pull the upset this weekend over TCU? Moral has got to be suffering a little at TCU with all the losses they've had on defense. And that defense has become seriously lacking in depth.

Tech "kicked Biliema's ass" in Fayett Nam last Saturday and seems to be coming together offensively.

Tech 42

TCU 38

Kentucky will knock off #25 Mizzou Saturday.

Kentucky 28

Mizzou 24

I'm with you on KY over Missou but I still think TCU has too much for Tech. I don't think Arky is all what everyone made them out to be this year and I just can't trust pretty boy to out coach Patterson.

Chavis?

The one guy you're talking about is Mack. Knowing what I know, it wasn't conference affiliation. It was a "business" decision that was aided by a visit from a defensive coach on another team's payroll.

 

[GBT]

But that business stuff is "overlooked' by the NCAA in some conferences.

Some talked about last week being the pivotal game for Charlie, but this one is even of greater importance. Not because its a conference game, but because we would be 1-3 heading into a meat grinder of TCU and OU on the road if we don't win it. Plus many think OSU is not all that good, so we better be able to beat them if we want to have any hope in October. Over 10,000 tickets unsold and many many posted on sites so there will be empty seats for this one and many more in following games against powerhouses like KU ,etc...SMH...if we don't start winning...We need to win this one.

SHA, you were damned near spot on about TCU, and you still have a shot at Ky over Mizzou.

Yea, TCU pulled a rabbit out of their hat at the end. Wow.

Looks like KY will cruise to their win.

#18 Utah is currently beating #13 Oregon 27-13.

 

[Capn Hook]

Utah is pounding the crap out of Oregon in Autzen, 41-14. 

Who would have ever guessed that?

 

[NWAHorn]

Because at A&M players do whatever the hell the want to do with few to no rules. Conference doesn't have jack to do with it. And Arkansas ran over A&M all night tonight, but crumbled in crunch time. Again. They are in position to run the clock down and make it a two possession game when a stupid %$#$%$#$ lineman false starts. Goes from 4th and 2 to 4th and 7 and Hogs have to punt. I ain't a fan of Arkansas, but damn I wanted them to beat aggy.

 

[tejasrulz]

2 years in a row Arkansas had aggy beat & gave it away. I don't care for either team so no matter who loses, I'm happy.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Last I checked, Utah was up on Oregon 65-13.

 

[GBT]

Sounds like we need to switch coaches with Utah.

Sounds like we need to switch coaches with Utah.

 Would be an improvement IMO.
