OU Texas is again upon us. And I know I don’t have to tell you that the worry meter is spiking at 100%.
This is not last year’s Shorthorns. This team is good, and getting better. I don’t doubt that on paper we have the better team. But as they say, the game isn’t played on paper.
The big difference in this year’s Texas team is coaching. What I wouldn’t give for Greg Davis to be back in the offensive coordinators chair this Saturday. But instead it will be Bryan Harsin of Boise State fame calling plays for the Shorthorns.
This week my head has been filled with nightmares of the hook and ladder and Statue of Liberty plays of Fiesta Bowl past. Outside of the gimmicky offense OU will see, Harsin and the other new coaches have instilled in Texas confidence. Something that they did not have last year. Confidence is exactly what they needed and it’s dangerous.
It also helps that Mack or Harsin or whoever pulled their head out and benched Gilbert. I have no doubt that the Sooners will be ready, but it’s going to be a tough one. Here’s hoping that at the postgame press conference Mack is once again trying to protect his QB with the words “Let me answer that one for Case..”
With all that being said….BOOMER!! — Dave

Brother Dave: Just got this site from a friend. Ease your worries. As long as we don’t self-destruct and hurt ourselves by fumbling, throwing interceptions, or missing FG’s the game is ours. While I too miss Greg Davis and wish he was still at UT, I am confident we will win.
