    Looking forward to the season. I'll be a homer and say that we go 11-1 with the only loss being Georgia at home.

    If I take off the rose-colored glasses, think we lose anywhere between 1-4 games. Road games in Ann Arbor and College Station are tough, the latter being an absolute inferno, and the OU game is always a crapshoot.

    This moment is why I am conflicted about the series returning. It's fun that it's back, but damn if I didn't love that we buried them in such a dramatic fashion in 2011.

    We could go 2-12 as long as those 2 are ATM and OU

    Not really, we should and will beat many people other than those 2.

    With maybe the best or at least top 2 kicker of all time.

    Yes. In my opinion Tucker is the best kicker or top two all time. After the New England and colts kicker.

    This is how I feel about this season. I imagine the Horns will develop new rivalries within the SEC.

    There's a very healthy, good-natured rivalry brewing with Alabama. The school officials and boosters get along quite well.

    Also, Arkansas hates UT even more than the Farmers and Land Thieves do.

    That game in Fayetteville a few years ago was an outrageously hostile atmosphere

    Arkansas is already kind of a rival from the old SWC days.

    LSU and Texas playing every season, I can't see any way that doesn't become hostile given the geographic intermingling of the fanbases.

    Can't wait for UT's first night game in Baton Rouge. I'm gonna try and be there.

    Colorado State has a LB named Buom (pronounced boom) Jock, which is something I fully approve of

    Bit of a sloppy start like last season.

    My initial takeaway is that Wisner and Wingo are studs.

    Blue looks good too.

    Ewers floats the ball too much for the NFL. Pro secondaries are going to pick him off constantly. He needs to put more zip on the ball.
