We are coming down with plans to watch the A&M vs Texas basketball game on the 25th. My son is obsessed w everything horns. (A&M grad here lol.)

I'd plan to show him around Austin, eat good bbq and stay at a nice hotel. Any tips on getting around to the Moody Center? Uber in vs parking? What hotels are near campus? How about campus tours? I want to let my young son see what a major university is like and hopefully he looks forward to working to get there someday.

Currently watching Notre Dame and Indiana. Got me thinking about the possibility of a ND v. Texas championship. Then that got me thinking about the 1970 Cotton Bowl classic. Two historic programs facing off like that would be awesome to see.

So anyways, who would yall consider some of the best non-conference rivals of this team?

I’m on crutches and a boot so I’m trying to minimize the distance I have to walk to the stadium. Does anyone know where the best location to be dropped off would be?

Hook em!

On the plus side: elite on paper, Kelvin banks, a ton of experience, can be elite in screen game, has shown the ability to end games against decent to good competition by running the ball, joe Moore finalist

On the negative: 14! Sacks in two games vs Georgia (not all on the o line but they are a big factor), several games there's almost zero run game, little to no elite stats on the field

For me something just feels off. If we take this line as the top offense line finalists that they are, I would expect to at least stalemate with elite competition like Georgia, an above average running game, give up less sacks, etc.

Instead we have some great games (Kentucky, A&M) some middling games, and some bad games (Georgia x2).

If you told me we had a top 20 O line, I wouldn't have thought twice about it. Instead, we are one of the top 3 according to many, including the Moore award for best line. Even in the Moore description, none of the stats used were justifying of top 3.

So that's where I get stuck, do you think this is a top 5-10 o line unit, or do you think it's more in the good but not elite range?

I am but doesn’t seem like Austin or the fanbase is all in. There are still plenty of tickets available and it feels like a regular season game. Perhaps losing the SEC championship deflated the hype?
