Well my expectations aren't very high but I'm going since it's convenient and I have a rule about always going to see the longhorns when they play in Houston.  We were there for the last bowl game in 2014 and it was quite the stomping by the hogs, so if it could just be better than that one on scoring points and showing some grit, then that's enough for me.

Hopefully those who are committed to the team and ready to play in the bowl will be fired up, focused, and prepared to represent the school and the conference with pride.

Was it KSBears or RockChalk who was the female Jayhawk fan?  Or both, maybe?
KSBears was a chicago bears fan and a dude.  Think I met him once way back when.  He was last seen in the DC area.
Wildcat00 was a female KSU fan.  Met her once in Minneapolis

Thanks, Erin.
Seems like she might have had a different moniker in some before-the-most-recent previous iteration of the board.

Actually stayed in town last night and we're headed out camping today, so got to see most of the game.  I'm glad Erin got to go, and see a Horn victory no less.

It was a bit of a pillow fight between two not-so-great teams, but I did like the way Texas kept fighting even after momentum swung Mizzou's way.  And I'm not sure I'll ever see another punting clinic like that again, man we're going to miss Dickson next year.

Hook 'em!

Well they did it and it was much more enjoyable as a longhorn fan than the last Texas Bowl appearance.  The stadium definitely wasn't as full and loud as Arky, but that is to be expected since Arkansas does have more fans in the drive-able distance than Mizzou.   In our section, every time Dickson was on the field, a group of fans would yell "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie... Oye, Oye, Oye!"  which was almost always followed by loud cheers since he did such a great job.  

As meaningless as the bowls are on paper, it is quite nice to see the team earn a win to finish off the season with a winning record.  And it's always good to get a win over an SEC team, especially one that chose greener pastures when they had the chance.

Texas' defense looked its usual dominant self, and its offense looked as puzzling and inconsistent as it has all year.

I don't understand the commentators' point that the UT staff trusts Buechele but wants Ehlinger.  And then Ehlinger gets used largely as a runner.  Ehlinger certainly appears to be a better runner than Buechele, but he's got a lot of flaws in his game as a passer, not the least of which is taking too many sacks, which neutralizes some of his effectiveness as a runner by putting the offense in passing situations.

TH did some good work, and then proceeded to lay a turd right on top of it.
So embarrassing.  Not Texas standard.  He will get a talkin’ to.
The bright side is, he will have to produce at Texas or he will be gone post haste.  His charm is lacking.  I’m sure Patterson would jump at Texas now.

I dont disagree with you CW but maybe he will be better next year or the year after that or the year after that
He is a freshman and our OL has been shredded so Im sure he will come around
