If any of you are going to be selling tix, I'm looking for two!

 

[josejose4482]

texas is probably my second favorite football program. I had opportunity to tour their facility (just the public parts) during the off season. It was awesome to see/read the stories behind some of their championships, several of which featured thrillers vs our irish. They have a fucking gorgeous facility and i cant wait to get back to austin next year to watch them get their asses kicked, just like they will this year.

I need 5

Turning Point FB just said game will be 730 kickoff. Should be awesome!

I wonder if this means USC is an afternoon game.

Nope, NBC contract allows for 5 night games in a two year period, so sc should still be a night game.

Awesome.

7:30? Hate the late games. Isn't it enough we play late on the road every week?

The DVR is the greatest invention of my lifetime. We need all TVs removed from the reception

whats wrong with that?

Two threads on the Shag. Their feelings regarding the game range from "We're going to get raped" to "Tyrone Swoopes starts his Heisman candidacy in prime time!"

I still think the game will be closer than some people think, simply because Strong is a good coach and they'll come out fired up in prime time. I think we should still have the edge, but Texas will be getting good again in the coming years.

If for nothing else than that it is the Longhorns first trip to the Mecca in 20 years.

 

[texbender]

Will be a spectacle. Hope BK has Irish ready, cuz Strong & 'horns will be coming to play with nothing to lose.
Have some access to tix, will see if the leprechaun has anything for me. Got my 4 already.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

I'm going to attempt to learn some more about the Texas team they have.

What is their roster sitting at? Who are there potential all stars? Any big time production players returning from last year? I know we have plenty of time to learn this but as always: know thy enemy.

 

[Sherm Sticky]

I don't have the patience to wait all day. i can barely make it to 3:30 pm EST.

 

[Veritate Duce Progredi]

Texas could be a much closer game than I was originally anticipating. They always recruit well as evidenced by their signing classes the last 4 years:

In 2012, they signed 30 recruits. In 2013 - 15 recruits, in 2014 - 22, in 2015 - 29 and they have top 10 talent at multiple positions.

Their offensive line recruits look legit, they'll be young but if their OL coach is worth a sh*t, they'll be ready for the game.

The Texas offense is moving to an uptempo team and they have a young gun by the name of Jerrod Heard who runs and throws well.

Early reports indicate he isn't as good of a passer as Swoopes but he's far more athletic and able to creatively improvise. Heard sounds a lot like Malik.

They also have their own Malik...Jefferson, whose a lot like our Jaylon Smith. Hopefully he'll have young man growing pains in his first game in the bright lights.

Sounds like their WRs are stacked.

The worst part about playing Texas early is that their poor depth won't have time to take it's toll. Not that we need that but it's always nice to have an extra ally in back alley brawls.

I hope Kelly and the staff get this team ready because Texas will be looking to ruin our season out of the gate and I have a lot of respect for Charlie Strong. He gutted the program and intends to rebuild from the ground up. They will be a force in 2016 onward.

Nbc pimping us out for prime time slots, I see.
