Good luck in the SEC Championship and Playoff.

I got back in this afternoon. I will come give Texas their props. It was a good weekend even though we lost. I got to hang out with my Aggie son and other family members and ate some good food. I got to mix with some of my long time Longhorn friends.
My thoughts on the game:
I will start by saying that overall Texas was just the better team last night. I thought we got dominated on both sides of the line of scrimmage. I thought we got out coached big time. I went through several feelings during that game:
I thought we came out and moved the ball that first drive and then I wondered why the hell we didn’t take the points in that drive. I thought that was a stupid coaching decision that let some air out of Kyle Field early.
Then we get the 3 and out and right back in Texas territory only to have Reed make a bad decision, but it was a great play on the ball by your corner which is what they have done all year.
Then it was just a slow painful death in the first half. All the things I worried about didn’t happen. I was worried about all the misdirection plays but I felt we played those fairly well. I didn’t anticipate Texas saying, well we are just going to run it down your F-ing throat. I was pissed sitting in the stands wondering why we weren’t running some run blitzes to plug the gaps in the middle. We did a couple of times and forced the bounce out which we played well, but for most of the game Texas just dominated the line and ran very effectively. I thought that was the biggest reason they won.
Then we get a big play on defense with a pick 6 to get the crowd back in it. It still didn’t feel good, but there was life. The defense played well enough to not allow any points in the 2nd half. Then the block punt happened and it should have been a scoop and score but the dude fell down. Still we had it right there. We get to the freaking 6 inch line and decide to run 2 plays right up the freaking middle against the strength of your defense. What pissed me off more is that the coaches took timeout to come up with that sh*t! I watched the play on replay and it was a freaking counter where guards are pulling to open gaps and the tigjt end blocked no one. Scratched my head on that one because as crappy as we played it could have made it a field goal game with 5 minutes. Or, why not take the points to make it a one score game??
There were some calls I thought were big and could have had an impact or maybe they wouldn’t. The change of the targeting I thought was questionable and the illegal substitution I thought were big calls. The illegal substitution was on a 3rd down sack and then resulted in a TD later. From what I saw Texas subbed on offense which should allow the defense to sub. The ref looked at the Texas sideline to see if anyone else was coming on and then moved away from the ball. Im making this statement as an Aggie fan and just looking at some momentum shifts.
However, this game was won by Texas. They had the better team and coaches that outplayed us.
The only win I had over the weekend was that a Longhorn fan got a good old fashion ass whooping. We were at Lane’s chicken after the game and the place was about half full and a Longhorn fan comes in talking a lot of crap. Everyone pretty much tried to ignore it but one dude had enough and asked him to shut up. He said congrats on the win but don’t come in here and do that sh*t. The dude got in his face and said or what? Well he found out what.
Congrats on your win. You deserve to play for the championship and I think your team has a real shot to not only beat Georgia but win the whole damn thing.

I think anyone that’s an ass needs an equal ass beating, regardless of affiliation. Unfortunate though that’s your only option to celebrate and enjoyed watching it while sitting on the sidelines. Pretty sad really.
So you want me to intervene sitting with my sons while a Longhorn fan comes in and talks sh*t at A&M and protect the Longhorn? Many people including myself were trying to tell him to chill out. I told the Ag that it is t worth it, but when the dude got in his face then well, natural consequences take over at that point.
