All Things Longhorn

Why was Jamaal, four days removed from an ankle injury, out running plays during practice? It just makes no sense. He's much, much too valuable to have something like this linger for the rest of the season. I don't care if he *can* play this weekend, I hope the coaches have enough sense to sit him down and let him heal in time to play Tech. Hell, let him heal until A&M. Yes, Selvin will fumble on Saturday. But he's still enough for the Horns to beat CU. And with Ramonce and Hank the Tank backing him up, there really is no need for concern this game.

By the way, why all of the concern? Haven't you guys figured it out by now? Texas is really, really good. Don't let that blowout against A&M fool you. A&M is a horrible, horrible team and CU is very mediocre. Horns win by three touchdowns easy. How soon you guys forget that Texas now has a leader on the field that won't let it play down to the level of its competition.

Eric - thanks for commenting. I agree that we should be conservative with the usage of Charles lest we create a lingering problem. Selvin makes me nervous, but I agree that we'll have enough to win.

I do think you're turning a bit of a blind eye to what we've said, though. Travis picked the Horns by 21, and I picked them by 18. I originially had us winning by 27 before the Charles injury news. I don't know that we've forgotten how good Texas is at all. We're just giving Colorado a bit more respect than you are. A fair disagreement, I'd say.

Thanks for checking in and commenting, as always.

I hear ya. I guess I've just become very cocky. As Travis can attest, I was much more cautious before the OU game. But now I'm of the firm belief that Texas is unbeatable. Foolish? Absolutely. But I don't care. I've spent so many years waiting for a team like this one to come along that I'm just throwing caution to the wind and declaring them unstoppable. But, uh, you know, they really need Jamaal running on two good wheels.

Oh, man, how great would it be if every big time championship had a belt? Could you see Vince running up to the fans, climbing up into the stands, holding that belt high like The Rock when he climbs the turnbuckles? It would be the single greatest thing ever.
