Ohio State 28 Texas 14 The long off-season begins.

230 short days until Ohio State. I can't wait.

The Week That Will Be: Miracle on Ice It won't be a miracle if the Horns win on Friday, no matter what the media want to say.

Exactly nobody in the national media predicts the Horns can even cover, much less win. So perhaps Texas should just forfeit and donate the travel expenses to the School of Nursing.

I know Texas fans are either too busy fighting with Aggies on the definition of targeting or feeling sorry for themselves for winning a playoff game....

But this is a very winnable bracket. LFG.

Y'all all wanted to fire Ryan Day into the sun a month ago but now you are cupping his nuts.

Bring it. 🀘🏼

Arizona State was going to have to be aggressive to win on defense, Texas used that against them. Two plays.

Annoying drive but they aren't winning this game with FGs.

The Week That Will Be: Clair De Lune Vegas likes the Horns -- you should, too.

The Horns travel once again to Atlanta, this time for the Peach Bowl. If everything goes according to plan, they will be back.

The Week That Will Be: Georgia on My Mind The Horns hope that their best ball is yet to come

The Horns aren't the best team in the College Football Playoff, but they don't have to be - survive and advance. We take a look at that game and the other three in what should be a fun weekend.

Georgia 22 Texas 19 (OT) The Longhorns fell short of a SEC title, but bigger goals still attainable

The two matchups with Georgia have shown that the Horns are a talented, yet flawed team -- the good news is that so are the other eleven teams in the playoffs.

Welp. That one hurts. Heal up, rest up and we got a home game in 14 days against probably Arizona State. Rip the roof off. 🀘🏼

The Week That Will Be: Welcome to Atlanta The Horns seek their second straight conference title, and it is a growing nemesis standing in their way.

Redemption, not revenge is the theme of the week here. Texas didn't give it their best shot a month and a half ago, it's time to do so now. Keep it mind we might see these guys yet again.

It is wild to think that if Texas A&M had beaten Auburn, we would be gearing up for Texas/Texas A&M II this week in Atlanta.

If that was it for Quinn, he finishes:

2-1 against Oklahoma
1-0 against Texas A&M
1-0 against Arkansas

Yep. They were offended we were invited to the SEC without their consent so that was the tradeoff.

We'll see what adjustments Sark makes next week on offense (might help that Kirby doesn't have our signals) but I will take my chances with the best defense in the country.

They bitched and moaned and demanded the first home game and then didn't score an offensive touchdown.

Quinn is balling. Keep running. No calamities please and let's go home and pack for Atlanta.

The Texas celebrity picker being the Masters champion and the A&M picker being Dude Perfect is just....perfect.

The Week That Will Be: Kafkaesque Clean up the place, Aggies. Big Brother is home.

The Horns and Aggies are back this Thanksgiving weekend. I've had a season prediction for weeks, and I'm not backing off now.

This is probably a minority opinion but I have long said 12 teams is too much for a playoff. Alabama and Ole Miss and Clemson do not deserve playoff consideration.

It should be six.

Oregon
Ohio State
Texas
Georgia
ACC Champ

And then we can argue on the last one.

The Week That Will Be: Justified The Horns return home to face Kentucky in the biggest game until the biggest game.

It's (perhaps) the last home game of the year for the Horns. Kentucky has saved their best for their best opponents, will they do the same against Texas? Plus we take a look at OSU/IU, A&M/AUB, ALA/OU and much more.
