I just watched the Big 12 Preview on ESPNU. The usual cast of characters got the most attention, mainly Texas and OU, although honorable mentions went to A&M and Texas Tech. It will be weird to see Tech actually running the football! Howdy Tommy.
Texas and OU come into the season with new QB's. Sam Bradford is now with St. Louis, Colt McCoy with Cleveland. Texas coach Mack Brown is legendary for his ability to re-load each season. Garrett Gilbert got a baptism by fire last January in the BCS Championship Game. It will serve him well this year. Also look for Texas to run the ball a lot more.
The two big games on the Texas schedule this year are Nebraska who has a lot of motivation to beat the 'Horns in Lincoln this year. That last second loss in the Big 12 Championship game still hurts and with Nebraska leaving for the Big 10, this could be the last meeting of the two teams for quite some time. The big question is just how will the Nebraska fans, among the best and most sportsmanlike in all of college football, react when the Longhorns take the field.
Then's there's the annual gathering in Dallas with the Sooners. The Red River Rivalry. Game time has been pushed back a couple of hours which means an even rowdier crowd than ever. Most of the predictions have Texas winning, again. But when these two teams take the field against each other, all bets are off. Howdy ya'll.
We're excited to be heading to Austin for the Wyoming game on September 11. Pre-game will be at the Salt Lick plus we'll make a visit to the Co-op. We were up at the game last year in Laramie, and the Cowboys led at half-time. The Pokes have a history of playing big teams tough in the first-half. As for the second-half, not so much. But never take Wyoming for granted. Just ask the Vols.
College football is almost here, and no matter who you cheer on, it's the happiest time of the year.
HOOK'EM!
