    Watched highlights of Bijan and couldn't help but think about Gaskin. Very very similar styles of running. Sets up blocks, patience, quick explosive cuts that get him free into space...If he plays he's going to have a career day against our D.

    I was inspired to watch Gaskin highlights and fuck we were spoiled.

    Gaskin is all time husky great. To bad his career nfl might be coming to an end.
    Yes but UW had it pretty good with Polk and Sankey who played on some pretty shitty teams in comparison to Gaskin.

    Is now our 2nd most popular Bowl opponent

    This will be #3.

    We've played Michigan 4 times

    Race is slipping.

    We’ve played Iowa in 3 bowl games.

    We’ve also played Bammer 3 times.

    So Texas is tied for 2nd with Bammer & Hawkeye?

    First off... congrats on a great season. It's been awhile since I've been on here.

    Texas fans are pretty delusional about their prospects under Sark. Their boards are a carbon copy of Dawgman circa 2013.

    I don't think that's necessarily the case. It's a mixed bag. The jury is still most definitely out. His recruiting has been great, but nobody is sure how much of that is due to him or the massive NIL program now in place. For those who have already bailed on him, they point to the big leads blown in game after game dating back to last year and a misuse of Bijan Robinson. Texas probably should have won the conference this year or at least have been in the championship game. For those who are still on board with him, they point to playing a freshman QB, two true freshmen on the oline (which Sark has done a great job of rebuilding after a decade of neglect), and a much improved defense. There is also the notion that his prior record was tainted by his drinking so nobody knows just how good of a head coach he could really be.

    Personally, I think Texas is the easiest place in the country to win now that NIL is here. Hire good assistants, recruit/buy the best high school and transfer players in the country, and try not to fuck it up. I'm still in wait and see mode. It doesn't matter though. If he doesn't get the job done we will just shitcan him and go find the next guy and cycle through until we find somebody.

    Also... I live in San Antonio if anybody needs any bar or restaurant recs.
    Where do you get your hookers and blow?

    Longhorn here.

    Hope it will be a good game, but you never know who will end up sitting out the game if Bijan sits out, UT is likely in a world of hurt. He is just too much of our offense and too unique for the backup RBs to replace. They are not bad, but no where near his level. I have no idea if UW has anyone significant that will sit out or not. It appears that Penix is coming back, so he will be there. Ewers has been 'eh' this year, not a world-beater for sure, and for the bowl game his backup (Hudson Card) will presumably not be playing since he entered the TP, along with our leading receiver (Xavier Worthy). Card actually looks much better statistically then Ewers in almost all metrics and it isn't a small sample size (108 att for Card vs 249 for Ewers).

    UT apparently is a 4.5 favorite, which seems a bit ridiculous without Bijan committing to play yet. Even if he is playing, UT has an 'average' pass defense, at best, which does not bode well for the Longhorns. The pass rush has been 'average' as well -not terrible, but not something to tout. If Bijan declares he is sitting out, the odds should swing heavily in UWs favor in a hurry.

    Looks like I will be going with a friend of mine who is a UW alum ('97) and we will be sitting on the UW side :). If you haven't been to the Alamo Bowl in person, it really is a great place to have a bowl game. Both teams usually get on a couple of the river boats and motor around the riverwalk (and the bands usually do, as well, and play as they go) and it is decked out in lights etc for Christmas. Not a lot to do on the riverwalk but eat or drink, but that generally suffices.

    This is a good post. I still hope you get run over by a tampon delivery truck.

    Seriously though, the Chris Massey shit was infuriating. That's back when I actually cared.

    Sounds like you used to care

    They have company in doing that from our DAWGS

    The Holiday bowl in 2001 was pretty entertaining if you hate defense. This may be similar
    Chris Massey just got burned for another long completion.
    Meanwhile Oregon State just gashed the Duck defense for 14 more yards and another FIRST DOWN!
    I kind of want Deboner to bring Massey back to talk to the team during bowl practices.

    Major Applewhite isn’t walking through that door. But Bijan Robinson might

    Purdue lost their coach to Louisville. Brohm was a big Louisville guy but still the mighty B1G to the not so big ACC?
