STILL WAITING
While waiting for the AP game capsule to move, here are a few random thoughts:
HUH? I'd like to know what question was asked of Colt McCoy so that he would take off his cap in the players' press conference earlier this week (accompanying photo).
DEE! After all the talk about how great the offenses are and will Colt McCoy or Graham Harrell have the better peformance, the old adage will probably win out Saturday night for the 'Horns and Red Raiders.
"Defenses win championships." Yeah, and that's true for "pre-championships" as well. Sure, there will still be a bunch of Big 12 footballs to "add up" after Saturday's game, but this one is the "two-thirds of the way through the season" championship, and the winner gets to beat up on an inferior Northern foe on Dec. 6 in Kansas City.
TRICK-OR-TREAT: Even though this game will be played the day after Halloween, it will look like a function from 24 hours prior. Every Longhorn fan in attendance will be wearning burnt orange, of course, and word has gone out for a "black out" for the Tech fans. Nothing but black and orange in the stands Saturday night.
GAME CAPSULE: Coming soon, I swear. Well, maybe tomorrow.
