Congratulations? Still does not help me….

... Let’s turn this into a “What to expect… Mizzou @ Texas” thread. I recently caught a replay of the Big 12 CG where Mizzou took a woopin’ from OU. The biggest thing I saw is that Chase doesn’t look too different from Colt. Not very fast, but running around trying to make plays with his feet and getting run down from behind by DEs and LBs. Chase looked really pissed that he got caught by a half a step on several occasions where he tried to extend the play with his feet. If anything, Colt looked like a more elusive runner, but we’re talking about shaved peach versus a fuzzy one here. I think we’ll see similar results with our front seven, hopefully denying Chase and Mr. Maclin time to exploit the secondary for big yards. Daniel looked a little pouty when the Tigers got behind, and I would probably hate to play on his team. I hope we see more of that Chase as he realizes that probably 5 or 6 of our front 7 can run with him, if not run him down.

Defensively, Mizzou got steamrolled by the Sooners, and I wasn’t impressed with their talent level. If anyone but Greg Davis was our OC, I’d say we should be able to run on them, but we all remember the first three quarters of the Nebraska game, as well as the entire 2006 season. Hopefully GD has one of his “good days” and we’re able to just outclass Mizzou offensively. Ask me right now and I’ll give you Texas 35-24 with a shrug. Much remains to be seen.

Sounds like you’ll be just south of midfield; very nice. But at just row 11, you’ll have a difficult time seeing across the field to action by our bench. I prefer being around row 30-40 for a good sweeping view of the field; just my preference, I know you don’t have the option. All in all you will be happy with it. It’s right in the middle of all the action. The Mizzou bench will be right in front of you, so feel free to give them some good old fashioned trash talk.

And do yourself, and all of us, a favor: stand up and be loud. That’s in the middle of alumni seating, where many people are content to sit and be quiet. You’ll have to help make up for their passivity.
