its may. its about to get hot. and its boring as hell without the ball being snapped and games being played, so hows about we all give predictions for next years Longhorns schedule then see where it takes us?

Fl Atlantic: UT wins big 56-3 (1-0, 0-0) c'mon, a bunch of drunk monkies could beat them.

UTEP: UT wins 45-16 (2-0, 0-0) they usually end up with about a .500 record, not much needed to beat them from a team that has been ranked in the top 25 pretty much since the current polling system began...

Arkansas: UT wins 38-17 (3-0,0-0) this Arkansas team will be decent i think, but without their powerback on the field for them anymore, they will haveto find another source of production to put up a scoring fight. i know their used to be a huge rivalry with arkansas, but today that is pretty much all but gone. atleast for texas.

Rice: UT wins big 52-7 (4-0,0-0) another day another dollar for UT. rice will probably stumble into a bowl game this season, if they are lucky.

Colorado: UT wins 41-10(5-0,1-0) the running back that chose them instead of UT might be a little sorry for that choice after this game. he may turn into a future leader for the buffs, but wont ever be able to turn their fortune around like our VY did for us. but that apples to oranges. UT will probably use this game to rest and or fine tune anything it needs to in a game situation before the red river rivalry.

Oklahoma: toss up. (5-0-1,1-0-1)I hate to say this, but the more i think about the offense OU is returning and how they generally fair during the season before choking in whatever bowl they go to, its tough to see them being stopped. not saying it cant be done, but it will definately be tough. so with that im putting it down as a tie for now (even though a tie cant really happen).

Mizzou: close win for UT 35-31 (6-0-1,2-0-1) UT will start the second half of its season with this game, as it always does under Mack Brown. WIth that, UT will look at key things that have hindered them in the first half of the season and address them and figure out a way to fix them. All of those issues will or should be addressed in this game, if not at the very least, brought u.

Okie St: easy win for UT 42-6 (7-0-1, 3-0-1) Texas will continue the dominance over this team that they had last year. no comebacks needed this year.

TX Tech: Toss up. (7-0-2,3-0-2) tech returns the nations most prolific pass-catch tandem and might be a problem for a pass defense that, over the last two years has gone awry at times. of the chain-of-cycles, UT broke its chain of 4:1 with tech last year and has won the last 5 meetings. i think tech might be looking to change that. this game will be high scoring. tech could play spoiler for whatever other team from the south that tries to make a run at the Big XII championship

Baylor: Win. 62-0 (8-0-2,4-0-2) this game will easily be Texas largest margin of victory game. UT might aswell play the drunk monkies from FL Atl in this game. it will be a long night in Austin for the bears.

Kansas: Win 48-14 (9-0-2,5-0-2) one season removed from the best season a jayhawks jersey has ever seen coupled with an offense that cant produce against itself spells disaster and possible cardiac arrest on the kansas sidelines. the only thing i can see getting in the way of a UT victory is if they look ahead to A&M in two weeks.

Texas A&M: Win; close (but only on the score board) 27-24 (10-0-2,6-0-2) Texas gets revenge for the last two upsets. two of the A&M scores will come on turnovers or special teams. I dont see the new coach winning his first rodeo in the Lonestar showdown game.

Bonus: If the Longhorns win 10 games they go to the Holiday bowl; AGAIN. if they win 11 games they get a BCS game. As much as i hate to, im rulling out an undefeated season and a run at the NC game.

Ties are for hockey!

Ties are for hockey! It’s not even summer yet! It’s still spring, and you’re free to make strange or far fetched prognostications during run-up to the season. So who do you have in the Red River game or against Tech?

I think Texas fans are banking on an improved pass defense this season. Hopefully that means the defense breaks up more of Tech’s passes and leaves Lubbock with a victory.

I am not as comfortable with our match-up with OU. I think as the summer progresses we’ll get a better idea of how we stack-up against each other.

It's a Horns' world. Even Aggies play hoops with a burnt orange ball.
Is it football season YET?

Mizzou game

I’m very worried about the Missouri game, particularly coming off of @ Boulder and the RRS. And after last year’s non-con debacles, I’m definitely not as optimistic as you on the first four.

Every game's a trap game

That said, this season comes down to OU, Mizzou, and Tech. I’m glad that of the two new Big 12 North powers, we get Mizzou at home. Tech is always dangerous in Lubbock (the poster child for trap games), but I’m confident we’ll prevail in the end. That leaves OU—I just don’t see it happening this year. Prove me wrong, ‘Horns.

I am, however, very excited just to see what our team looks like this year. A new defense under Muschamp. A new crop of playmakers on offense. Mack with more fire than he’s had in a long time. I’m eager to see the final product.

pretty optimistic

I guess we’re gonna be blowin some people out huh. No, but really, realistically, I say UT is gonna be puttin up 30-35 points a game. Unless huge playmakers emerge, there are gonna be some tough times.

Florida Atlantic: They run an spread-option game, and are definately gonna put up more than a field goal. This is not the same Florida Atlantic punching bag of old, people don’t seem to realize it. Don’t get me wrong, we’ll win, but this is comparable to the UCF game last year.

UTEP: Agree with you here, we should beat them fairly easily, but I doubt we score that much. The miners are gonna be average, as usual.

Arkansas: I pretty much agree with your assessment. They don’t have many playmakers, and have Dick at QB. Add bobby petrino, and I see a talented but dysfunctional team.

Rice: ya this ones always a no brainer. This is the one game of the year, you never EVER worry about. Kinda nice in some ways

Colorado: The buffs will be good. They were .500-ish last year, and should be better.
Again winning by that margin is ridiculous. The defense is not gonna be magically fixed, they score at least 21. They beat OU last year, c’mon! And its an away game (i think)

OU: Just by the nature of the past two seasons, I think OU and Texas are very close. Gonna give OU the edge for now, but not by much. It wouldnt surprise me to win, or lose.

Mizzou: Jeez, not looking forward to this one. However, Mizzou does seem like one of the teams that is very scary coming in, but one we’ll be able to handle (ala Tech last year.) Definately losable though.

OSU: Really thats all theyre gonna score? I highly doubt it. It’s at home, so it should be less stressful, but they score a shitload of points all the time. Like I said, Defense doesnt magically appear, muschamp or no. “Should” win, but we’ve had many “should” win games here in austin.

texas Tech: I think we just have theyre number. Its arrogant, but they can score and score and score and score until the scoreboard breaks, but it’ll never be enough. in lubbock though…something to remember

Baylor: Did you watch the baylor game last year…not exactly my idea of domination. Theyre better than UTEP and RICe, how can they be the one we beat the worst. They have a new system and new players. Not screaming upset or anything but, they are gonna put some points on the board.

kansas: I agree there will be a bit of a drop off for cinderalla this year, but they wont be horrible. Theyre gonna score and theyre gonna be tough.

A&M: All I have to say is we better get things set straight this year. And I mean we better destroy them. New coach, in Austin, the opportunity is there…plus they suck! Actually I’ll just take the W, regardless of the score.

08' Football

I think the Arkanasas game will be closer than some think (rivalry). The Colorado, ou, Missouri, Texas Tech, and Kansas games will all be close games. Texas might pull away in the end in a few, but nothing easy. The ou game will depend on who turns the ball over the least (always does).

Texas will beat a&m by atleast 14.

The game of the year will be Missouri. It might be a gameday game if they both are undefeated coming into it. This game will be the biggest in Austin since Ohio State in 06’.
