people keep saying that, and while I feel it has a chance to be like that, it is still a RIVALRY game. rivalry games have the history of being good, close games no matter the talent.

I think you forgot how bad the 77-0 loss was
I was 77-0 in the 3rd quarter
Stoops was making drives in the 4th quarter then kneeling the ball 3 times in yalls redzone to turn it over to yall
p.s. the back ups were in at half time and they still put 28 on yall
Im sure the 63-13 and 63-14 games were much better to watch.... The 03 game happened because we beat them in 02 when they were #1, thats why I think Stoops is gonna unleash it on your boys this week, he is all about revenge.

i "might" watch it, that is unless there is something more interesting on TV like an X-Files marathon or PBS is showing shots of the earth from outerspace, HAHA !!! just kidding...it should be fun to watch...there's definately some awesome energy around this game and rightfully so...
I know everybody is saying how the Horns suck and are soft, but what they fail to realize is this is the product of tons of top 5 (or better) recruiting classes. I dunno if the talent they got was overated, if the coaches/coordinators suck or what. But I think it is more than safe to say that as of right now the University of Texas is doing less with more than anybody in the country. Every year they bring in LOADS of talent so to be performing the way they is almost impossible.

answer me this...i guess you could say i'm a casual Horns fan...i like football but i don't watch it on HD with my hat and slippers on ever saturday...can you name the star WR, the tailback or even a beast on defense...
i only know one person, Colt McCoy...and i also know that alot of guys got suspended for alleged drug use and/or possesion or whatever...
back then i knew Major Applewhite, Ricky Williams, Roy Williams, Derrick Johnson, Vince Young, Selvin Young, and even Nathan Vasher...
now, it's totally different...Texas ain't in the spotlight as much as it used to be...

Maybe Notre Dame has that honor right now BY FAR (doing less with more)

I hate to agree with an Aggie, but Sprayed is completely right. I'm not going to make excuses for UT, there is too much talent on this team to be where they are at and honestly it is downright embarrasing.
However, let me just say this, having all the talent in the world doesn't mean a thing if they are not using it to its full potential. Team discipline, team unity, and most of all team confidence, the one thing they really lack in, plays a huge part in performances. I don't think I need to elaborate any more on that. In my opinion, the absence of those three things is responsible for their current situation. I also think Mack Brown should be under more heat, he is far too passive and is too calm for the predicaments his team is facing/will face. He might be a great recruiter, but he isn't doing a thing to make this team better or to utilize the tools he already has.
Like I said earlier though, Sprayed is right, there are no excuses for their poor performances based solely on their talent resources right now. None whatsoever.

we have three players projected at top 25 picks in the draft and this dude can't name one of them
it's obvious you don't watch college football, I could name the top 3 players on almost any team

Texas has ONE loss........and it came from an INT return, punt return and kickoff return
we have been playing the 26th hardest schedule in the country
Kansas state almost beat AUBURN at home
college football is a lot more than talent and coaching, THIS year has gone to show that, the underrated teams are showing they have the heart o win unlike almost every team that was preseason top 25

If anything this year has proven that you do not need spectacular coaches, or talent to produce a winning season. There are so many cinderella teams to provide an example for that. If a team can go out and believe they can win, coaching and talent plays a smaller role. If anything those qualities just make a team better. Texas is quite the opposite. They have all the talent and coaches they need, but can't seem to put together a victory over a good team.
If you choose to look the other way after performing the way they did against Central Florida, Arkansas State and TCU, then so be it. They might have came out victorious (thank God), but I can't ignore the obvious and neither will the AP/BCS polls which ultimately will determine where they end up. We can argue about a solution all day regarding their talent and coaches or whatever aspect of the game people consider to be UT's downfall, but it does not mean a thing if the BCS looks at these things as a negative.
Again just another excuse. Offense/defense/special teams, it does not make a difference, all the players are on the same team. The BCS will not care and I guarantee OU will look to exploit our special teams again.
Ultimately, I want to see UT win it all again and I KNOW they can, they just don't seem to want it. I will always root for UT whether they are up against the odds or not.
