IT'S GAMEWEEK!

simply because it was just as unthinkable the last two years. All-and I mean ALL-signs point to an absolute evisceration, but stranger things have happened.

I was completely wrapped up in BCS-hatred, and then I saw Martellus Bennett’s entry into the Douchebag Hall of Fame. Seriously? A chronic underachieving Tight End whose team’s never even sniffed mediocrity is going to trash our team and quarterback? How can you “expect to beat Texas every year” when only two years ago you were mired in a five-year string of double-digit beatdowns. Aggies aren’t just morons, they fall into two categories: (1) those who are ignorant of the fact they are morons or worse (2) are actively proud of it. I am fueled with Aggie hatred.

There are a lot of seniors who will play this game with incredible pride. Think of the terrific Longhorns who will be fondly remembered for years to come and have made this a breakthrough season and will be graduating: Cosby, Miller, Ogbonnaya, Orakpo. Some were valuable contributors to our national title, and they went 3-1 against an oklahoma team that had owned us. However, these guys are a mere 1-2 against the agros. Does anyone think they want to be the first class since 1995 to finish with a losing record against these sheep-loving clowns?

While I’m at it, A&M fans are the worst. They have the golden reputation as the tradition-loving gentlemen and ladies with hearts of gold, but that’s not true now if it ever was. Today’s Aggie fan relentlessly attacks his team and coach, trashing them all year long. But if they beat Texas the cocky attitude appears from nowhere the second the game ends. Today’s Aggie defends and even laughs at illegal hits on opposing QBs that are disavowed even by their own COACH. Mack, Colt let’s bury these guys.

One point is that any good recruits the Ags get, OU won’t get. So I’d definitely like to have them improve some, especially enough to give Tech a beating now and again. But I don’t worry about the Ags much because their athletic dept is pretty much in turmoil – they keep bringing in old Ags to run things (e.g., Old John David Crow), who don’t know much about the world of modern college athletics, and this looks like it won’t change any time soon.

The two losses the last couple of years were the fault of the Horns and no one else. We just stunk up the place in both games and truly deserved to lose. Not their fault if we just hand it to them. As Coach Royal described TCU, his old nemesis, the Ags are like cockroaches: “It ain’t what they pick up and carry off, but what they fall into and spoil.”

But my Aggie friends indicate that speed is their biggest deficit, which means they match up with the Horns very badly, on offense and defense. Provided the Orange receivers don’t drop everything in sight early on, like against Tech, then the Ags will quickly look for an excuse to roll over and die. The question then becomes how much Coach Brown wants to roll up points on them. I’d prefer a good pasting, but kicking the dead, like OU vs Tech, would be very unseemly. Things do come around eventually.

BTW: Has anyone taken a snap at OU besides Bradford? Nor anyone at Tech besides Harrell? Has neither team EVER stopped rolling up points on everyone they get up on? Why don’t the sports writers ever talk about who played a classy game, instead of who stomped whom? Doesn’t sportsmanship count any more?

BUT, speaking for the older Horns, my personal hates are SMU (and seeing Craig James on TV all the time makes me want to puke), Number one above all else, and then Notre Dame (historically the dirtiest team in college football). In my long term perspective, the Okies are just hicks, and not really despicable.
