Whew, I sure hope Nick coaches up our defence, this week.
Hope Nick gets healthy, hope BAMA wins.
They always do that. They are thinking with their heart, not their head. I believe Clemson is going to tear up the playoffs. I sure hope Clemson gets a shot at Alabama.For example, Ohio State hasn't even played a game but many of the Bucknuts around here are grumbling that the Buckeyes deserve to be ranked #1.
True Southern Hospitality. The further North I go, the less I see that type of behavior.As a visiting fan of the opponent's team I've been many places but I have never been treated more warmly than I have been treated at Clemson. Just a remarkable, friendly atmosphere with good, kind people. They see you walking around in your school's colors and they practically drag you in to enjoy their food and drink as they tailgate. I've been there 4 times and it happens every single time.
West Virginia University is a downright dangerous place to visit. A shame because Morgantown and environs are lovely. It isn't West Virginians, it's WVU, because I've been to Marshall several times and had a great experience. Of all the places I've been, WVU and believe it or not little stupid UConn are the two least friendly; actually in both places I've experienced open hostility just for the color of my ballcap.True Southern Hospitality.

I’ve never understood that mentality. After all, it’s just a game. As a Longhorn fan living in Oklahoma, I’ve experienced both. I went to a game in Stillwater in my burnt orange and was treated like a king by the Pokes fans. But Norman is a different story. The OU faithful range from tolerant to openly hostile.West Virginia University is a downright dangerous place to visit. A shame because Morgantown and environs are lovely.

Hook 'em! My sophomore year of college, September 1976. You guys had Earl Campbell, Johnny Ham Jones and Jonny Lam Jones in the same backfield, and kicker Russell Erxleben, who I believe held the NCAA FG record for a while. This game was the beginning of the end for Coach Royal.I’ve never understood that mentality. After all, it’s just a game. As a Longhorn fan living in Oklahoma, I’ve experienced both.

I would like to put the chrome Longhorn on the tailgate of my pickup, but I am not at all confident that some Sooner fan might become enraged and do something to my truck.
That was quite a team. They have been close to that level in the Colt McCoy years and the last championship year, but not quite there. They seem to have forsaken the running game for the pass. As a result they have trouble staying on the field for long defense grinding drives and our defense ends up getting exposed.Hook 'em! My sophomore year of college, September 1976.

I cut the cord last Wednesday and am now watching via a Firestick, Amazon Prime and Hulu. I have not yet figured out how to get the LHN in that configuration. I too enjoy watching the baseball and softball. I sorely missed it this year. I certainly hope the rulers at the NCAA see fit to give all these kids another year of eligibility, and I hope that Covid-19 does not stretch into next season...but I’m not holding my breath.Having Longhorn Network on my TV has made me a Texas fan of sorts; I coached high school softball for years, and LHN televises every Texas home softball game, so I seldom miss one. I also watch a fair amount of Texas baseball on LHN. That's a storied program.
I agree. Your softball team last year was a powerhouse. As good as any team I've seen anywhere in the past 20 years. That new coach White is the best in the land.I cut the cord last Wednesday and am now watching via a Firestick, Amazon Prime and Hulu.

He is good, but I want to see what happens when his Oregon players graduate. Can he duplicate in Texas what he did in Oregon?I agree. Your softball team last year was a powerhouse. As good as any team I've seen anywhere in the past 20 years. That new coach White is the best in the land.
