The outcome was: fantastic. Though Texas has for some time been locked into "win and they're in" territory, even now not all wins are created equal. We're 11 wins deep into this thing, and tonight's punishing win over the Jayhawks might be my favorite to date (OU excepted, always).The offense turned in its most encouraging performance to date, the defense got a healthy test from Kansas' strong receiving corps, and -- I'm damn happy to say -- the seniors walk out of DKR one last time, having played well, won impressively, and remaining on track to achieve all their goals.

As noted in the celebration thread: this is as good as I've felt about the team all year. Join me after the jump to discuss.

Postgame Celebration Thread: Texas Rolls Kansas, Wins Big 12 South

One of the best in school history, and now the winningest in NCAA history.

Congratulations to Texas's 22 seniors, who won their 15th consecutive game and 23rd of their last 24. And special congratulations to Colt McCoy, who won his 43rd career start, the most in NCAA history. Neither his, nor the 2009 team's, legacies are yet finished, but with tonight's 51-20 win over Kansas, the Longhorns improve to 11-0 on the season, clinch the Big 12 South, and step within 2 wins of a national title berth.

This is as good as I've felt about the team all year. Hook 'em!

Murphy Out At Arizona State

The last time we saw Pat Murphy he was reeling from Cameron Rupp's prodigious clout and pissing off GoBR . Now he's gone and so too could be Arizona State's hopes of returning to Omaha.
