TCU's alt unis for the game:

Here's the story: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/look-tcus-wild-alternate-uniforms-vs-texas-will-have-horned-frogs-fans-seeing-red/.



I'm sure Bevo would be terrified if an angry horny toad were to squirt blood on his hoof.
naw he'd just stomp him into the ground and eat more hay
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

This is what happens when you aren't in a real conference.  Hints of Conference USA pop up all over the place from P5 pretender schools.

Based solely on zero deep thinking and solely off my reactionary weekly viewing combined with Tulip's comments over the past few years, Herman might wanna be honestly evaluating Orlando. 

Didn't get to watch this today, maybe I will later, just looking at box score, drive chart, and listening to Mrs. DeTiger in attendance, Orlando's performance in Austin so far doesn't match what his trajectory in Houston would've suggested.

I never understood fans' propensity to micromanage.  Fans need to go after Herman.  Herman can respond to that however he sees fit.

Why go after Herman if Orlando is indeed the problem?  No need to throw the baby out with the bath water, if that's the scenario in Austin.

If there's any problem, it's Herman's problem.

Truth is, I wasn't enamored with the hiring of Herman, but at the time I couldn't think of any potential hire who would enamor me.  And it got rid of Charlie, which was all that mattered.  So I gave Herman a chance.

As I watched his pressers, he begins to seem kind of arrogant.  But what the heck.  Then he mocks the Missouri QB, prancing up and down THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS sideline apeing like a drunk frat boy.  NOT Texas standard.  Frankly, not anybody's standard.  What millionaire D1 coach does that??  But we won 10 games last year.  So again, what the heck.  I guess...

But hell no.  He's a snarky dickhead, and he better beat TCU.

So anyway, recruits will start bailing out now, more players will enter the portal, and it appears evident we aren't making ball players out of Hermy's own recruits.

This ain't our last loss of the season.  Wait till Baylor finishes with us, with their 2nd year coach.  And Iowa State?

The good news - our new, rock star AD didn't hire him.  And likely just suffers his lack of charm like the rest of us do.  A good guy deserves a chance to fix things.  Herman does not fall in the "good guy" category.  The way he presents himself, he better win.

If we don't win at least 8, CDC will bust a move.  And not a single Texas-Ex will complain.  This ain't nice guy Charlie we're dealing with here.

I get this.  It's a good point.  The HFC hired the DC, so if the DC isn't cutting it, it's on the HFC.
We ran into that same problem when our DC was Mike Stoops.  Unfortunately, the HFC was Bob Stoops, who was not a snarky dickhead (most of the time, anyway), and had won a Natty, and who visited sick kids in hospitals and did other good deeds, all behind the scenes.  So we focused our ire on Mikey.
I wonder about hiring Houston coaches.  Maybe it takes a dickhead to succeed at Houston.  A Bill Yeoman, a Jack Pardee, or an Art Briles, not a Major Applewhite.  I think Dana "we're just going to tank this year" Holgorsen fits in there well.
I will be very surprised if Texas doesn't win 8 games.

I can't see a path to 8 wins this year. 6 wins is looking way more likely than 8.  This is the absolute worst defense I've ever seen at Texas.  And I can't believe I'm saying that after the disaster that was Charlie Strong's tenure.

Anyway, congrats to SDF and the TCU Frogs.  Best of luck the rest of the season.

It is "interesting" (and irrelevant) that the Texas losses hurt LSU's pedigree, but LSU moved up to Numero Uno in one poll (which is irrelevant too).  It hurts Oklahoma as well, as one of their marquis wins is now tainted.  Baylor just doesn't have the Helmet even if they are very good.

This is the part of the season where folks start trying to employ syllogism.  It doesn't work very well.
