Or am I just desperately and patheticly reaching for any shred of dignity?

CU was pretty good, weren't they?

CU will get beat soundly.
They will play better than OU, but texas will handle them with much ease.

God I hope someone beats 'em.

the way you phrased the question suggests to me that you know the answer.

My guess is that UT wins by 28 or more.

over by half.

No, CU isn't that great a team, just like Baylor really isn't that improved (win over ISU not withstanding).

We.Are.Just.That.Bad.

tu won't win by more than 20

No we suck terribly and that is why CU looked good.

Over by end of Q1. They really aren't that good. And Texas really is.

won't be close

We make everyone look better than they are, remember?

Game is in Austin. tu will roll.

As good as we are playing, I think some of you are trying to sandbag us with CU. This is a team that went into Miami and hung with them for 3 quarters. CU can run the ball and their special teams are pretty dang good. Obviously, I'm expecting us to win but visions of a 28 point victory are a bit ridiculous.

Hookem

CU will be beaten in every phase of the game.

Opening line: Whorns -19 (I'm thinkin' they'll cover!)

BTW, you guys opened -17.5

lol, after every game, I have been asking myself that same question...

after this blowout loss, I have my answer, you should too....

here it is...

no, clemson is not as good as we made them look
no, smu is not as good as we mad them look
no, SWT is not as good as we mad them look
no, BU is not as good as we mad them look
no, CU is not as good as we mad them look

I don't mind if texas loses one but I hope this isn't it.

I hope they blast CU. Not so much b/c of thier team but more so b/c of their fans.

Texas 56 Cu 10

I hope cu blasts tu, for their players and their fans

well, I guess we're just down and out then. Even as the 12th man, we have no fight left in us... and we're even willing to concede that tu will steamroll anybody.

sad state of affairs.

AFTER every loss or close game we rationalize the team that beat us or played us to the end is somehow much better than we realized.

Every time we play Colorado, it seems like Texas gets them the very next week. This year is no different.
In our case, Colorado usually beats us or plays its *** off against us, but tu just owns them (with the exception being the Horns' loss in the Big 12 title game that year).

So this year, it's ... tu 48, cu 17.

No. Texas will beat them.

"I hope cu blasts tu, for their players and their fans"

So you are for the rapists then?

Aggie88, so if we played them the week after tu, would the result be different? Let me answer that one for you. No. Sips should roll Colorado. We could get lucky if they have a post-ou letdown.

CU - 3 vs. A & M KA-CHING !!!!
Sips - 14 vs. OU KA-CHING !!!!

The sips -19 seems like a tough one to me...........I dunno, maybe it's just me, but I think the sips might have a "post-OU" letdown for a quarter or two. I'll admit that I don't have the stones to take the Buffs +19 points, but my initial reaction was to take the points for a late cover.

Texas will clobber CU just like they did last year.

I'm going to take UT to cover and OSU and the points.

Colorado keeps it close for 2 and a 1/2 quarters and then loses by 14-20

In a normal year, this CU team would be 7-5. The weakness of the north may give them 8 or 9 wins but CU is a very mediocre team.

The only thing CU will take from t.u. is a beating behind the woodshed.

I for one hope TU wins the whole freaking thing. That may be the only thing that will send the money guys into a frenzy and not accept the mediocrity that is our football program. Them winning would piss off those who can make change. I am ready for a change now. One way to speed up the process is have them look that much better. Like it or not they are the program by which we judge ourselves. I don't think many will be able to handle the vast void of disparity between the two.

it'll be a blowout.

Texas will cover the point spread. They always do.

I don't think CU can hang with the sips....at all.

This will be the first game of the season that can be used for comparitive purposes as it will be the first where we both have played the same team. That said, I am pretty sure Texas will win the game and show just how far we have to go to become competitive again.
