Common Man Prediction Thread – UT vs If it dies, it dies

[Sirhornsalot]

. . . The season that is . . . and my welcoming the final game of the season. 

This weeks' prediction thread takes on a sort of Rocky theme, as Texas is as beat up as Rocky's face was in this flick.

And we just want to say 

The only thing of value we'll be able to take from this game will be:

1) Some glimpse of younger players, likely playing more minutes.

2) Farewell to the lousiest OL we'll ever see

3) We won't make a bowl so the staff will immediately be able to work on recruiting and the portal.

This season has STUNK.

Kansas State 42

Texas 21

Sept. 3rd:

The last 6 weeks:

Today:

Just enough Kool-aid left. Horns 13, Purple cats 12.

 

[dillohorn]

KSU  30     Horns  21     KSU will just be too much for this team to handle

 

[longhorn_mig]

KSU 31

Texas 20

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Does everyone know that KSU lost their starting QB? Skylar Thompson?

 

[UTfish]

That's even worse. The backup will look like a Heisman contender. K State doesn't want to be the only Kansas team to lose to Texas. 

KS - 42, UT - 31

LOL, yes and we might be on our 3rd string QB.

 

[longhorn_mig]

Besides, maybe if I finally pick us to lose, we'll win.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Rough crowd this week lol

 

[lshorn79]

Not dead yet.

So you're saying there's a chance? Texas could yet still have shot at bowl berth with win If there are not enough 6-win teams, any bowl openings could be filled with 5-7 teams based on the NCAA Academic Progress Rate for football programs.

I'm mailing this one in much like many of the players.

UT 7

KS 0

though KS will have over 300 yards rushing and 300 yards passing.

Yes. We might only lose by 14 now.

DKR no longer home field advantage for the horns. Belongs to whomever else wants and comes in and takes it. Another bi**h slapping. Sark praises this team's "fight".

KSU. 31.  UT 17

Maybe we can be Kansas just for this one night.

 

[dillohorn]

Won't matter. UT will make any replacement a star.

KS - 42, UT - 31

Always does.

We have been Ks most of the season until we played Ks.

God. Please don't let us go to a bowl.

 

[hookemhorb]

Won't matter. UT will make any replacement a star.

Plus they have a legit RB. Vaughn will easily crack 200 yards. Those 2 deep safeties will help keep Skyler Thompson's replacement under 400 yards and limit the 20 yards or fewer pass plays, but watch out for the RB.  ?

God. Please don't let us go to a bowl.
