Hate the sensational headline, but hopefully this is true.

I will happily eat crow for picking Texas to lose to Ole Miss, but even when it was 24-3 at half did anyone actually feel like the win was safe? That being said, I think Texas can still win out the rest of their schedule and likely could still get into the Playoff, even with 1 more loss, given their resume and the amount of chaos happening around the league this season.

Congrats to Fublim, who called the exact score, Texas 34-27!

This sub split almost exactly in half: 14 of the 29 calls here had Texas winning, and the typical one was Ole Miss 27-24, the score we'd lost by two weeks running. r/CFB had Ole Miss 12 to 3. So did 19 of the 31 analysts I tracked.

The closest analyst was Bobby Burton (On Texas Football) at 30-27, off by 4. Five people beat or tied him and take the Ole Miss coin:

Now, I know the discussion about Sark calling plays has been burning for a few seasons on and off amongst the fan base. I’m closely watching what’s going on at Northwestern and trying to understand how Chip can produce results like that with those skills players and Sark is struggling with a hand picked roster. Now, big name OCs come and go, and sometimes a conference change makes a big difference (Jason Beck from Utah to Michigan for example to see how bad that offense has looked.) I believe there’s enough on this roster to win, and the coaching is holding it back in a number of areas. These past few Longhorn teams have played with no poise and composure, and I directly correlate that to coaching. Are there OCs you guess would target that could fit in Austin without looking for a better job?

Hey longhorn family! Looking for any Canadians that are making their way to the home game this Saturday. If you are, please comment or message me! Have a big favour to ask.

Is anyone that is going to the game this Saturday planning on wearing a Halloween costume? Curious if I did dress up, nothing elaborate, if I would be the only one. Ha!

AUSTIN, Texas — Having averted a third straight disastrous loss, Arch Manning went looking for his parents to celebrate a victory that had to feel as relieving as it did joyous.

College football’s most famous player, a one-man content machine, Manning admitted he took last week’s setback against Florida especially tough.

“Probably because it was a hard Sunday, and I went over to their place and damn near bawled crying to them,” said Manning, who was challenged by his coach to be better or risk being benched after last week. “So just being able to see them after a game, after a win, felt good.”

Manning and the 19th-ranked Longhorns snapped a two-game skid by beating No. 7 Ole Miss 34-27 on Saturday night, but not before yet again squandering a double-digit, second-half lead and having to fend off a last-second throw into their end zone.

This is Texas football. The Longhorns are a wild ride. They are a tantalizing mix of All-America talent and mind-numbing mistakes, brilliant for stretches, sloppy and undisciplined at others. Texas can look soft at times and then, as it did Saturday night, play with tremendous grit, down four injured star players.

That the Longhorns are led by the country’s most polarizing player and a defiant coach, who wins a lot of big ones but has never won the big one, makes them even more compelling.

Texas (5-2, 3-2 SEC) has played five games this season against Power 4 opponents and is 3-2. Those games have been decided by a total of 17 points, all coming down to decisive moments late in the fourth quarter.

Twice we got called for illegal procedure when I thought their guys came across the line and we moved. Did they really cross the line and the refs blew the call or did we just move based on legal movement on their side. Also on a at least one of those they let the play go on.
Illegal procedure should be blown dead. If not the QB thinks he has a free play and might take risks he wouldn’t normally take.

Despite their best efforts, Texas won.

Discuss.

Hey everyone here's the deal,

I'm a new Longhorns fan. I'm a high school teacher and one of my old students is a starter. Also I had some family move out near Dallas about 15 years ago now and I've just sort of had Texas grow on my generally. I got to go down to the Florida game with some primo seats in the family section and that was just an all in all incredible experience. As an Idaho Vandal it was as close to the Kibbie Dome as I've ever felt outside it.

So all in all that's got me feeling some kind of spirit about the team.

So what are the things that TX fans gotta know? I'm jumping on the bandwagon here and I'm not getting off so I gotta get acculturated.
