I would love to have D Murray in a Texans uni...
Same here. I worry about injuries, but when healthy he is a talent.

You betcha!
Not a very well-played game, but definitely an exciting one.

The Texas defense currently appears to be playing at a national championship level. The Texas offense, not so much. However, the play by the Texas offense was good enough to eek out a win against a good Oklahoma team.
If the Texas offense continues to improve over the last 6-7 games, I think the Longhorns will have a chance to win it all. If they do not, then Florida is looking like the odds on favorite.

Texas doesn't look like the 3rd best team in the nation.

Who would you rank #3 then?

Maybe not, but that defense looks championship-caliber.

Defense wins championships, but not sure about mythical ones. Best UT defense in a long time.

OK, while I was watching the game, I was thinking that of all the players on the field, Earl Thomas - FS - Texas, would be the best possible addition to the Texan's team. I was thinking how excited I would be if the Texans drafted him. So, as far as that goes, I agree with you completely.
But priapism is a term that I was previously unacquainted with. I had to look that one up.

Thank you for teaching me a new word. However, after reviewing the definition of this term, I have to concede that I will probably not be able to match your level of enthusiasm over the acquisition of this player, if the Texans are so fortunate as to sign him.

good question as with the exception of Alabama and Florida (game today notwithstanding), it seems to be a season of everyone stumbling along barely missing being upset.
but based on the games I've seen, I like Virginia Tech and Miami as better football teams, but with their loss, they shouldn't be ranked above Texas.
all in all, an ugly college football season so far.
Texas A&M should be #2.

don't know what that has to do with the price of oranges, so whatever.

So Texas isn't the 3rd best team in the nation, but they should be ranked #3? Is that what you're saying?
Like it or not all Texas has to do to be in the national championship game is win out. Alabama & Florida would have to play for the SEC championship. So one of them has to lose. The only possible team that could get in their way would be Cincinnati, and the only ranked opponent they face all year is South Florida.

I have liked Thomas for awhile now and he is a possible 2nd round pick for the Texans unless they trade up for a different safetyOK, while I was watching the game, I was thinking that of all the players on the field, Earl Thomas - FS - Texas, would be the best possible addition to the Texan's team.

I wouldn't mind Thomas, but I want Eric Berry. I love watching that guy play. I think he's worth trading up to get (maybe sign Dunta and include him in the deal?)
Really all I want is for us to get at least a #1 corner and a FS next offseason (I would get three secondary starters myself -- Reeves is the only guy we have that deserves a starting role in any capacity, pathetic as that is). They can go through FA or do it with day 1 picks, I don't care. But we need an overhaul in our secondary. I am now completely convinced that FS is our most glaring hole. I can understand Smith choosing to fill other needs the last three offseasons, but no more excuses in my book. Do what you gotta do to get long term solutions in our backfield.
I can't wait to see Kindle in the NFL myself. That guy is a beast. He is always in the backfield.

I just got back from the game earlier today. It was crazy. Probably the most intense experience I've ever had.
Both of these teams have incredible defenses. I think these two units should be in everybody's list of top five defenses in the country.
At this point, I think Texas could beat any team in the country besides Alabama. Their D can keep them in the game against anybody.
P,S. - I warned y'all about Earl Thomas a few weeks ago. The kid is going to be an All American. I see that some of y'all are ready to get on the bandwagon with me.

I disagree about Alabama beating anybody, as their QB isnt that good and I think Tennessee will beat them.

I think McElroy is only as good as they need him to be. He is a game manager and as long as the rest of the team shows up to play he will never be asked to win the game.

If i were Bradford id be shedding a tear for every dollar i lost by not coming out last year. What a loss.
Bradford is going to some specialist in the new few days for an opinion on his shoulder injury. Odds are he will need surgery which will end his season. Too bad..I don't like OU but I think the kid has alot of talent. Hate to see players his caliber get hurt like that.

He either shuts it down this year & comes out hoping to get picked inside of the top 10, or he shuts it down this year & comes back next year, takes a couple of good licks & puts up great stats to show pro scouts that he's fully over the shoulder injury & try to get his stock better. It's risky but....
I suspect with the injury situation he'll come back for his senior year.
I think he'll be a very good pro QB. Smart. Athletic.

Oh well that settles it. I forgot that QB play is the only thing that matters in football.
Let's just forget that Colt has a TD:INT ratio of 11-7 while McElroy's is 9-3. Not to mention that McElroy has faced tougher defenses so far.
Alabama has a better offensive line and one of the best RBs in the nation. We can't say the same.
I didn't mean to imply that under no circumstances could we beat Alabama. I meant to imply that head to head on a neutral field, I would be comfortable playing anyone but Bama. They are the only team I am afraid of at this point.
