Don, I don't want to hear it. I predicted 5 upsets. I was wrong, there were 6 upsets. And not one of the 6 were the underdogs I picked!!! I went 4 for 15 this week. However, I can tell a more sad story than our two sets of picks: 1) AJ went 7 for 15. He won his 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 point games. Don, you beat AJ with only 5 wins to your credit. 2) Bill went 3 for 15 winning his 1, 2, and 13 point games.
Well I am happy with how the Longhorns are developing. The road win at Oklahoma State was very big. Swoopes had an excellent game, our RB's ran hard and our defense was Charlie Strong STRONG. I think we'll beat TCU on Thanksgiving Day in Austin. Can't believe that Arz. State after playing the game of their lives to beat us at home goes on the road and loses to Oregon State. Irish fans feel terrible about the loss to Northwestern, but ASU fans have to feel even worse. They were in a position to play themselves into the Playoffs, now they are out.
I just knew that Oregon State thing was possible. I told Brittney about it all day yesterday. That's just the most Pac12 thing ever. We can't not beat each other and make each other look horrible. Charlie Strong is coming right along at Texas. I never thought I'd say this as the year started, but A&M fans need to worry.
We are worried, but it has nothing to do with Charlie Strong. This continued passive defense, and refusal to attack the middle of the field on offense is maddening. We are cutting our own throats, no help needed from anyone else. I'm waiting to see what Sumlin does to fix all this. Those decisions will show me what kind of head coach he really is.
