40 AS Non-Conference Game Of The Week
Do we have an obligation to write this week? No. This week the Longhorns are off, so our proven effect on the outcome of Texas games (9-0 when we write a 40ASNCGOW; 0-2 when we don't) is not an issue. So you can be sure that this week we are writing not because we have to, but because we want to....
40AS Non-Conference Game of the Week: UCONN at Cincinnati
You were probably nervous last Saturday down 35-14. Not us though. Ya know why? Because we had done a 40ASNCGOTW. Here we are again. Watch the Tech game if you want but we already know the result.Anyhow, nine games into their season, the University of Connecticut is 8-1. Unremarkable until you...
40AS Non-Conference Game of the Week
1963 was a good year, unless you were a Kennedy (too soon?). Texas was on its way to its first national championship under DKR, Martin Luther King gave his "I have a dream" speech, and, most importantly, the NHL held its first draft in Montreal. 1963 was also the last time Navy beat Notre Dame. It...
40AS Non-Conference Game of the Week
Our "we are the center of the known universe" theory will face its critical test over the next several weeks. Nebraska, Okie State, Tech and Aggy are coming up. Texas is 6-0 in weeks we've done a post on BON and 0-2 when we haven't. A lifetime of glory awaits if we indeed are the determining factor...
40AS Non-Conference Game of the Week
As we predicted last week, our return to calling a non-Big 12 Game of the Week here at BON coincided with the Longhorns' return to the Win column. So we now understand that it would be irresponsible and wrong for us to skip another week, and we pledge not to do so. After yet another wild and wacky...
40AS Non-Conference Game of the Week
Well folks. It's been three weeks since we last wrote. We took two weeks off due to real life. During that span, Texas went 0-2. Our bad. We take full responsibility for causing Texas to lose to OU and KSU; we apologize and it won't happen again. If you're like us, football has been less than a...
40AS Non-Conference Game of the Week: Georgia at Alabama
Well folks, we're 0-for-3 in selecting games that actually turn out to be exciting. USC ruined any chances of that last week by being a whole lot better than Nebraska. But this week, we think we have found a game that may actually be close and fun to watch. But don't sue us if we're wrong...again....
40AS Non-Conference Game of the Week: USC at Nebraska
Week two is in the books so it's time to look ahead to week three. Once again there is a game we would like to do (Michigan v. ND) but will not because one of the teams was involved in last week's preview. If Ohio State hadn't laid such an egg against Akron, OSU vs. Washington would be our game...
40AS Non-Conference Game of the Week
We're back for another 40ASNCGOTW. This week we were tempted to preview what is clearly the most interesting non-Big XII game this week: Va Tech @ LSU. It's a matchup between a pair of schools heavily affected by the two biggest national tragedies in the last two years. But, since we previewed...
40AS Non-Conference Game of the Week: LSU vs Mississippi State
Peter has graciously given us the chance to write a regular weekly column here on BON. Many of you, being Texans, would probably be shocked to learn that there are places outside of Texas. As non-Texas natives we both can attest to the fact that not only is there life outside of Texas, but they...
