Golfing, Boating, Burgers with fried eggs: BYU @ Texas

[Crockett]

You will note that if you multiply 3.3 x 3 it still doesn't get you a first down.

If you are Alabama playing West Virginia it equals a first down. If you watched the game you may remember this headscratcher:

If I don't write #wmph Goat will with a full paragraph of explicit tirade.

I think you're right that we still have something to prove there, but given that our arguably top two run-defending DL - and definitely our two biggest - (Marques and Tausinga) were not playing, that 3.3 is pretty solid. If we'd had those two (or even one of them) I'd be concerned. *You will note that if you multiply 3.3 x 3 it still doesn't get you a first down.*

That would be the reason I said it's nearly good enough for a first down, and an awful lot of uncomfortable 4 and inches...on average of course

A defense that only gives up 3.3 yds per rush is a very solid defense.

Gundy is 40, he's a man.

That was several years ago so I think he's like 43 or 44 now.

Sorry everyone. Leave your drones at home this Saturday

The University of Texas Police are investigating an unauthorized drone flight by a UT student who flew his drone over Darrell K. Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium. The flight took place during the home opener for the Texas Longhorns football team.

Quandre Diggs feels embarrassed, also has private thoughts

On the last BYU game: "I'm still embarrassed about it."

On his other thoughts about the Cougars: "I have my thoughts...if I wanted to tell y'all I would."

Stats that Matter: ESPN blogger with a curiously pro-BYU name breaks down UT's key points for Saturday

http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas/colle...tter-byu-texas

In the past 10 years (six at Florida, four at Louisville) his defenses have give up a total of 600 rushing yards to quarterbacks. That's 131 games, 940 rushes, 600 yards. That's an average of 4.58 yards per game. We're including sacks in that number, but to put this in perspective: Last season, Texas gave up 715 rushing yards to QBs.

That would really suck if Taysom only rushed for 4.58 yards on Saturday.

I like this one:

0-8: Hill did not complete a pass on third and long against Texas last season. But he did rush for 141 yards and a touchdown on six third-down carries. Yeah, that's 23.5 yards per carry on third downs.

Kirk Bohls sez BYU is too tough for Texas

A piece of advice for Texas athletic director Steve Patterson:
Do not, under any circumstances, schedule another football game with Brigham Young. Ever. Even at gunpoint. Even if they want to play it in China or Mexico. Or on Saturn. Don’t do it.

I loved this post in the comments section. Shows that b12 expansion is still a possibility

Patterson can make his own decisions. I like playing BYU.

Probably a Mo.

In the words of ex-Texas coach Darrell Royal, "It's not the X's and the O's but the Jimmys and the Joes." Conventional wisdom is that the more talented team will win most of the times. Upsets are anomalies. Texas is easily the most talented team between the two. Probably the only position advantage BYU has is at QB. So what the hell happened last year? At a certain point experience has to play a role. Texas has had its fair share of losses to personnel. Maybe the gap in talent isn't as big as it appears. I hope Texas is as snake bitten by BYU as BYU is to Utah.

Since 6king obviously reads these threads, I hope he appreciates the homage to his duncery. Oh, that he could still post here!

Another comment:

more like just get read to play, not sleepwalk or assume an automatic W against them. A school like UT is their superbowl.........UT needs to understand that.

I thought we were their mini-superbowl?
