    I'll take a greater than 50% chance to be in the tournament and 9% to win the entire thing.

    Charlie doesn't know why you make these statements

    Texas is literally giving tickets away to the game tomorrow ... I would definitely give the 6.5 points at this point.

    I guess they should just cancel the rest of the season.

    Why even play the games.

    Is he comparing federal grand juries to state grand juries in his numbers here?

    Texas has gotten pretty salty. Cockroaches are getting UT at the wrong end of the season

    I believe an examination of Texas will show their season to be like ours. The weak end of the schedule coincides with better play

    UTs defense has played well most of the conference season. They just have had barely mediocre QB play, and their coach blew up a "successful 9 win team" to run a choir boy program.

    Lot of similarities between UW and UT. I think both will be successful.

    Texas is almost a guarantee to be successful. All the program needs is a little discipline. It's easy to get the talent there. That's the main difference between Texas and UW.

    Texas will likely become the most talented team in their league. That will probably never happen at UW under Peterman so at some point, he's going to have to overachieve. I think the Big 12 is easier than the Pac 12 as well, so that also helps Texas.

    Either way it will be interesting
