The video shows an assortment of impressive TD runs

We were screwed over multiple times this year, but there’s very few college football programs with a brighter immediate future than ours.

My brother and stepsisters went to Friendswood, but I was still rooting for Garrett in this game. Good for him. Six effing touchdowns? Sick!

BTW, the yardage quoted in the newscast appears to conflict with what I’m seeing in articles to the tune of about 3 rushing yards and 33 passing yards. He apparently needs 363yds. to break Harrell’s record. For the sake of the anti-douchebags among us, here’s hoping he breaks it.

I can’t express how glad I am that UT is getting this young man. I’m especially happy that he’s well-grounded in reality, in that he fully expect to redshirt his first year while learning from Colt, then compete with Chiles and Harris the next year. 2010 could be a little bumpy at the QB spot, but to have this QB situation will be terrific. I wouldn’t trade it for what USC or Notre Dame has, that’s for sure.

As a F'wood alum (class of '88, some of you weren't even born yet)

it’s good to see the Mustangs getting this far into the playoffs (we completely sucked when I went there). But this kid Gilbert is amazing. Can’t wait to see him in a Longhorn uniform.

As a Lake Travis alum...

…I never thought I’d see this kind of success at LT. I graduated in ’02—the same year the Cavaliers went 0-10.

58–40–5

In my day, we only went to the games...

… to scam the girls. Nothing to see on the field anyway. Our best game was Powderpuff.
