It's always a good one, even when both teams suck.  Like this year.
what really hurts is we could have won that game if no fumble on the 1 yd line

Ive never seen a game called as close as this one was

not blaming the refs just making an observation

we still have our destiny in our control

just no more fumbles on the one
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Lincoln Riley is a drama Queen bitching at the refs after he called a play that got picked.Take your ball and go home Lincoln,the fascination with him is starting to wane
I mean, not to back histrionics, but his wide receiver was held/interfered with. The guy didn’t get to the spot in part because someone was tugging on his jersey. Maybe it’s still gets picked, but I can understand being hot under the collar to agree.

OSU2 is the only remaining undefeated team after three games.

I watched the replay twice(sober) there was a little bumping/hand swatting but the other guys watching didn't think so either

Surprised me, with what was thought to be a 4th string QB.

Auburn had 39 yards rushing on 22 attempts.
someone told me the SEC plays defense

Oh yeah?  Well, at least the Horns kept the score of our shitshow loss down in the 30s this time around.  Progress!

And don’t forget on the play before the goal line fumble the WR who caught the long pass and was sprinting a clear ten yards ahead of any TCU defending was somehow caught from behind. Yes, the refs didn’t help, but the growing (and tiring) consensus is Why Texas isn’t starting to muscle their talent advantage over TCU(?), who’s beaten the Horns the last 6 of 7 times. Here’s Joel Klatt’s take on Texas during yesterday’s appearance on Clay Travis’ radio show:

Travis: "Let’s go into the Big 12 because you called that crazy, wild ending of the Texas and TCU game....What in the world is going on at the Texas football program?"

Joel Klatt: “Oh gosh. I can tell you that being around them this year I feel much more confident about their trajectory and where they’re headed than I did two years ago…there’s a mental block with Texas. They are physically better than TCU and should have won...there’s just something holding Texas back and I think it’s mental at this point. They got the players to be a better team. I’m going to group Oklahoma into this next part because I think this applies to both: I think there’s a reason Oklahoma hasn’t taken the next step in the playoff and there’s a reason Texas hasn’t taken the next step. And part of it is when you look at the great teams in college football, what they do is they recruit unbelievable players and those players still develop into even better players. At Ohio State practices I sat there and watched Jeff Okudah and Chase Young. At their third practice you could see how talented they were. Those young men who became top NFL picks developed, they got so much better. Too many times I see underdevelopment at both Oklahoma and Texas. They get unbelievable players and they never take the step to become elite players. I think development still happens at Bama, LSU, and Clemson. It happens at Ohio State. And I don’t think it’s happening at Texas and Oklahoma who’ve recruited at a high level but never take that next step to become elite."

Basically saying Texas doesn't develop their players. The TCU game pretty much summed up the Longhorns past decade of football: Team with significant talent advantage (Texas) gets out coached by their less talented opponent (TCU)

Sure.  I don't think this is a surprise or revelation to anyone.  The last 3-4 years of Mack Brown, all 3 years of Charlie Strong, and now the first 3.X years of Tom Herman, different actors, same play.

In conclusion: Sucking sucks.

I remember at least a couple games with Husker fumbles on the one yard line that the Horns won

gonna have to pay for those sooner or later
