About time we have a dedicated thread for the real #1 team in the nation. What a game tonight!

sure did romp & stomp, didn't they?

That was a true ass-beating. I'm now convinced that UT really is that good, and Missouri was seriously over-rated. If UT can run the table I'll be seriously impressed, they play every other ranked team in the Big 12.

29-32 for 337. Wow. I'm not too sure you need a running game with those stats.

OTOH, I'm glad I don't live in Austin any mas. It's all you hear, horns, horns, horns! Fvch, tell me about the Ice bats! It gets old being being a Texas fan living in Austin.

good ol Texas azz whoop'n - Tech ain't shabby either...

They look much better than when they won the national championship with Young. Colt's definently the real McCoy. He doesn't seem cocky, he just goes out and gets the job done.

Austin is surely not the same place where I went to school 20 years ago. I was there a few weeks ago and I kept thinking how I got screwed by going to college when the typical female fashion was baggy running shorts and over sized T-shirts.

You missed it, 30 years ago it was short shorts and halter tops!

oh man, a real nail biter today. Scored free tickets, went to a tailgate sponsered by a local brewery Liveoak before the game. I had a feeling all week that Ok State would be a very tough game. UT special teams let them down big time. Lots of work to do this week in practice. Tech should be a really good game next week, glad this week is over and they survived.

now that I'm caught up on games it makes sense. Good for Paterno. I'm glad Ohio State got beat. I hope somehow Arizona can squeak out a win over USC, but it's not looking like they will

Paterno BARELY won today, against a team that was spanked soundly by the lowly trojans most of you enjoy bashing so much. Seems that Ohio state is a great team again.
They were great before they played the trojans, then you said they sucked after they were spanked, and after your short term memory kicked in they're great again. Whatever makes you feel better LOL.

Then there's bama, another team that people are drooling over. They seemed to struggle with tennessee who lost to, get this, Auburn and UCLA

Texas looks tough but IMO Tejas tech looks better. Texas has the offense but other teams are running up the score on them. Offense without defense get's you to the big games but doesn't win them. My prediction is TTU beats baja Oklahoma next week.

I have a feeling UT will be prepared to Tech next week and it will look more like the Mizzu beat down. Ok state surprised them and UT just couldn't stop the run. If they hadn't tried to force the passing game and stuck to the run they would have beat UT yesterday. Tech is a pass only offense and they have 0 defense. I think UT will have a much easier time than they did yesterday. We'll see, as with all the top teams this year it's really had to win them all. I just wish UT had the easy schedule like the other guys

Great game yesterday. It was my first time going to a UT game. Great fans!

Are your ears still ringing? It was the loudest I've ever heard it.

sammyg2 · 10-26-2008, 08:32 AM

BTW, Paterno's winning percentage at Penn st. is 74.7%

Pete Carroll's at USC is close to 85% and that includes a very rough first season when he inherited someone elses problem and went 6-6.
He is #1 in active coaches in winning percentage. Paterno is #9.
Before any of ya start with the easy schedule BS, we can go back and compare the ranked teams that USC beat in that era vs. the ranked teams that PSU beat in the same era, you won't like the way that turns out.

Take Carroll's first season out and his winning percentage would be closer to 90%.
In the 6 years following that first season he's accomplished this:

* Two BCS Championship Game appearances (win over Oklahoma, loss to Texas)
* Six Associated Press and coach's poll Top-4 finishes, including the split 2003 national championship and the undisputed 2004 national championship.
* A record five BCS bowl victories
* A record six consecutive BCS bowl appearances
* A record six consecutive years as Pac-10 Champions or Co-Champions
* A national-record 33 consecutive weeks as AP's No. 1-ranked team
* A winning record of 80-15 (84.2%)
* An NCAA record of 63 straight 20-point games
* Twenty-two All-American first teamers
* Three Heisman Trophy winners IN SIX YEARS! (Carson Palmer, 2002; Matt Leinart, 2004; Reggie Bush, 2005)
* Four Top-5 recruiting classes
* Record win streaks for consecutive games (34) and Pac-10 home games (22).
* USC became the first NCAA FBS team to achieve six consecutive 11-win seasons.

2002 11-2
2003 12-1
2004 13-0
2005 12-1
2006 11-2
2007 11-2
2008 7-1 so far.
Nine losses in 7 seasons.

Yes, it was LOUD!

It was also an all-time attendance record for a home UT football game at 98,518.

Oh, and Bevo is a pretty cool bull!

Taken from Friday night.

you forget something -- Paterno's players are actual students
AND Paterno is an actual professor

that is the way college football used to be and is supposed to be -- not a machine that drives the university

Paterno is a class act all the way thru - I know as I used to work at Penn. State

Before that I was at Indiana -- Bobby Knight was another one who was very serious about the idea that his players were student-athletes. I had some in my non-majors classes - and if I lifted a finger, he'd have staff swarming that kid's rear to attend class and study. BK did have some other issues however. Paterno does not.
