I still bleed Burnt Orange

Let's face it... If you've spent as much time and money as I have on the University of Texas at Austin, you'd damn well support them too. For better or worse!

Well, This must be one of those "worse" times.

Talk about ugly play...I mean, I haven't seen us play this sloppy at home since we lost to Ohio State in 2006.

UCLA was playing better than us, but they weren't unbeatable. When I tell you we lost that game, boy did we lose. We took that game and tossed it right out of DK Royal. I don't know who showed up to play against the Bruins this past weekend, but they certainly didn't resemble my Longhorns.

Our offense has been touch and go all season. Thank God we'd had our defense to save us!

Oh, wait...not this week. Nothing was turned on. There was no cohesiveness, no excitement, no fire...I mean this was the DEFINITION of a lackluster performance. Even the sidelines looked a bit...confounded by what they were witnessing.

Muschamp, the defensive coordinator (and future head coach), who chest bumps his players when they've done well, and yells at them when they didn't...even HE looked deflated. And this was throughout the entire circus act.

Next week, we've got the Red River Rivalry. UT and OU. We're talking 110 years worth of animosity. A showdown so fierce, it's played in a neutral city...Dallas. Half way between the two universities.

While Mack tries to downplay the importance of this game, it's huge. He tells us before halftime that UT is 10-2 the past 12 years before OU weekend. (Yes. It has it's own weekend. Professors were encouraged not to make things due the Friday before.) C'mon, Mack. That's a moot point. Both of those losses were handed to us by K State, btw.

Here's what I see... Unless the horns just played the biggest mindgame ever, we're going down to OU this year, unless we can regroup IN A HURRY. This team needs to move onto the same floor of Jester together. Have all their meals together, share bathrooms, walk each other to class... Whatever it takes to get them playing like ONE!

We're in for a long season, that's for sure. We are better than our performance against UCLA. How much better? That remains to be seen...

Oh, and if you're keeping score, UT leads that 110 year rivalry 59-40. It's 9:04pm, AND OU STILL SUCKS!!!!!!!!
