Yeah, I know, he's been around a while.  Just poking fun because he spends all his time on the B1G board, and rarely slums it with us over here in 12 land.
I don't know enough about barbecue or chili to hang with y'all.

Sigh.  Texas dominated the LOS like I was afraid they would.  WVU's run game has been extremely disappointing this year.  Obviously, would have liked to have seen Grier finish the game and see how things played out that way, but whatever.  That's football.

Nice win for the Horns.  Ehlinger is a tough kid.  I like him but y'all got to reign him a little. The absolute two worst throws/decisions I've seen all year were both by him.  The Ok St OT throw and the pick 6 today.

hes a green freshman
thats what they do
fortunately his good play overcame his bad play
glad this one is behind us  WV has a good team
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

If you can get Ehlinger back, and playing like he was the first half of the season, I think it's a toss up.  Otherwise probably a fairly clear WV win - but I wouldn't go as far as 3 TDs.  

Remember Texas did hold what turns out to be a pretty darn good ISU to 7 on the road.  They are capable of shutting down good offenses, even away.
It worked out pretty much like I thought it might.  Congrats Horns.  Texas played hard and well.  
It’s tough to hold WVU to 14 in M-town.  No doubt the Grier injury had something to do with it but even on that play the Texas defense showed how much they wanted this game.  
And then Ehlinger had some truly brilliant pure football moves on O.  He’s good and damn only a freshman.
Texas is on the verge of being “back”.  I’m glad OU has a bright new QB in the wings to take Baker’s place in 2018, cos the Sooners are gonna need it to keep up with Texas next year.

320 is correct.  He is a green freshman and he plays like it as well.

Any win's a good win for Texas.  Condolences to Kris and the 'Eers, best of luck through bowl season.

The offense is night and day with Connor Williams playing, it's good to have him back and hopefully he remains healthy and gets a big pro deal, he deserves it.

Hated to see Will Grier get injured.  I never like to see any player get hurt.

That said, y'all know I called this victory a month ago on the 2nd page of the "oSu @ Texas - how will it got down" thread when I said:

I hope I don't jinx the Horns and incur the wrath of the ECFGs by saying this but...

If Texas can keep up its level of effort...

I think they could go 4-1 over the next five.

TCU could be ugly but the rest should be winnable.  Not easy.  No guarantees.  But winnable.

7-5 would be nice.  Especially with 3 of the losses being dogfights.

It's really good to see the Horns shaping up and showing even more tangible signs of improvement under Herman.

The Red Raiders should be either emotionally charged or emotionally depleted when they come to town on Friday.  A winning season, bowl berth and their coach's job could be on the line.  Hope they don't cockroach us.  My guess is they'll come out hyped and throw everything at the wall.  If Texas can punch them in the nose a few times early, they might give up without a whimper.  But Texas will need to put its foot down early.  You don't want the pesky Red Raiders sticking around for four quarters.

I can't wait to see Breckyn Hager in the 2nd half. 30 minutes of football to unload everything you've got left in front of the home crowd as a pass rush specialist!

There's no Texas fan out there who will ever be comfortable playing Tech. While just about every stat should go the Longhorns' way, we've seen the Red Raiders go pass silly on really good Texas teams. Until this one is over, I'm not assuming anything.

Anyone have a stat on how many opposing QB's have started but not finished the game against the Horn D this season?

I think we're going to get our 7 wins.  Yes, we have fired coaches for better than that but we've rock bottomed.

Tech is down in the mouth.  I don't think they will even put up a fight.  I would say Kliff is gone, but now we've a got another slew of SEC helmet schools that will be coach shopping again.  Saban has built a revolving door in that conference for other coaches.

However - I don't think Tech and the SEC would be shopping the same market if you get my drift, so I say Kliff is gone anyway, and in fact it's already been discussed.

So here I go - entitled Texas fan, marking our next game as a W.  But like I say, Tech is a whipped dog, while Texas is starting to see a few glimmers of light.  Our guys will come out ready to kill, and Tech will come out and roll over.

7-5.  Man it feels good.  And what if we win our bowl game?  8 wins!!

Now granted, we still don't look that good.  The WVU win was ugly, mixed with flashes of beauty.  Mostly thanks to Sam for both.  We gotta stick with Sam.  We had ourselves convinced of this earlier in the year, and then some of us crawfished.  BS.  Sam is the guy.  End of story.  I am willing to die by Sam if it comes to it, but we need to go full on Sam.  The offense just has more life.  I'm not going to overlook Conner's return on the line, but it was both.  I can think of a handful of plays where Shane takes the loss and we punt.  Although I am fully aware that Shane doesn't hand WVU that pick 6.  I don't care.  Sam, dammit.

Great turnaround for us. I say we play in beast mode this Friday.
