As I watched the Texas Tech Game and Malcolm Brown didn't run on to the field on the first drive, a quiet panic came over me. This panic was unwarranted. No Malcolm Brown, no Jaxon Shipley, no problem. Texas took care of business yesterday and heads into the final 4 games as a team on the rise. Talking points: *Texas Tech domination, Mean Joe shows out, Waka Waka Time in the redzone, Texas has DEs again, the punishing ground game, the subtle genius of Manny Diaz. *Looking ahead to Mizzou, our opponents can expect pain from Mean Joe, do Malcolm Brown and Jaxon Shipley make it back to give a Mizzou a proper send off? Recruiting notes: Johnathan Gray takes in a game, Daje Johnson makes it 3 in a row and stares at the mail box, some Adrian Colbert news, blue chips at the Football Banquet. I'm here and ready to go. Hit me with your best shot, fire away.
