I feel like a battered woman. 6 wins. 8 wins. It's so ing sad what they've become. I really hope Charlie gets enough time to figure it out.

Lol troof. If you're not vying for a playoff spot then you're not vying for anything but a bowl participation trophy

All our home games are against opponents we can beat. If TCU and Baylor were both in Austin, and TTU and OKST away, you are looking at 4 losses right there. So IMO the schedule is favorable within the conference.

I'm not sure why everyone is so scared of Cal coming to town. Most analysts are saying it's a tossup game... but... yah, it's a home game and Cal just never has a ton of talent. A few guys, sure, but they're far from spreading it out in the same way Baylor/TCU do. They're probably more on the level of Tech to be honest. Pac-12 just isn't that scary right now. Sure it could be an overlooked game for us since ND plays a different style but it's not something I'm totally scared of.

Granted this was years ago (2011? 2012?) that we played Cal in a bowl game but we beat them down pretty handedly and they had a bunch of NFL caliber players. Keenan Allen was a monster in college (and pretty solid pro now too). Very different teams now, but Cal is just Cal. They can only top out so high.

Agreed I'm surprised at how low expectations are from some of the fellow posters but maybe I'm more of an optimist. I think we can contend on a better level against some of the teams people have us down as losing. TCU and Baylor I see as sure losses and I think OU and ND are toss-ups, the rest of the games I can see us winning.

I saw this -- the hype behind this guy seems really su ious. Not only is he only 5'11 (probably shorter since they exaggerate heights), but he's from Las Vegas! What kind of high school compe ion do they have out there? I know Johnny f*ing Football was really short too but the dude came from the state with arguably the most compe ive HS football scene. Just feels really wonky to have a 5* QB from some place other than Texas or California (or even Florida or somewhere in the Bayou). Don't trust it at all.

Not a shocker, but DE Brandon Bowen of Trophy Club Byron Nelson told Rivals that UT is out of the race.

He's down to Baylor and USC.

That is getting ugly fast.

The part I don't understand is they've protected this dude as if he's some All-American.

Stoops is relieved he's no longer the Big XII's black eye.

No . What the was Briles thinking? Peterson just nailed his ass to the tree of woe. The whole thing is just sordid.

[TFloss32]

This comes after Briles said he never talked to Petersen...

I'm not well-versed in all of the Letter of Intent stuff, but UT hasn't even officially denied this guy.

So, I'm not sure how he already got accepted by OU.

Ask him to translate that into Spanish.

All the 5 star quarterbacks in the world won't help A&M if they keep recruiting manginas on D.
