They did. But this was by far the most focused team I have seen since I can’t even remember honestly.
Corian Gibson who we lost to Clemson might be someone we might be able to flip. Also Micah Hudston with Texas Tech going 0-2 right now.
Thought it was extra pathetic to see bama fans do the down horns. You're f***ing Alabama. Act like you've been there.
I find it amusing, the whole horns down thing. I found it especially stupid when it was made a penalty.
Considering OU and Kansas State are the only ranked teams we play for the rest of the season, we have a decent shot at the playoffs. I'm not taking bets at that point since we may be playing Georgia in the first game.
I'm just saying the odds are decent. I've been watching the longhorns since Fred Akers so I know we got a lot of football to play.
Every single Big 12 team is going to treat their last game against us as their Super Bowl on our way out.
Big time numbers even with the ESPN/Spectrum dispute. https://x.com/UT_Bianco/status/1701597745524678987?s=20
Not a fan of Finebaum but pretty cool snip it from night before the game. Finebaum on Texas vs. Alabama “I think it’s the biggest game since 2011 when we had a No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup between LSU (and Alabama). That was literally the biggest game I’ve ever seen. LeBron James could not even get a box. He was scrounging for a seat in the President’s Club, which by the way is not as impressive as it sounds. It’s a couple hundred people who then grabbed pimento cheese sandwiches. I normally kind of go lowkey the night before the game because you don’t know, (it’s) a college town. I may have said something that upset somebody. A couple of friends of mine came up from Birmingham and we went out and grabbed something. We’re walking back to the car and we noticed people on the roof of the hotel. It just so happened to be a hotel owned by Nick Saban. I said, ‘let’s go up there.’ They said, ‘you think we can get in?’ I said, ‘we’ll figure it out.’ We went up, and as we were walking in the lobby somebody waved at me and I walked over. There’s this private room where Greg Abbott and his entourage (were), and he called us over. We’re chatting. We walk over to the outside rooftop bar, which is all Longhorns. Listen, I’ve been on Wall Street. I’ve been in Beverly Hills. I don’t know whether there were 60 or 70 people. I’ve never been around more money in my entire life. There’s SEC money and there is Texas money. We had a blast, back and forth. I saw (Chris) Del Conte walk out to go to the elevator, (and) the president of Texas. There were no Alabama people there. The Texas people were just reveling in it, which I was really gratified to see. I wasn’t 100 percent sure how this relationship between Texas people and Alabama people worked. I think the Alabama people were so intimidated that the Texas people would buy them out. They were nice to them.”
