Normally this has been the weekend that TexASS gets its first loss of the year, HOWEVER, this year, TexASS will be coming into the game with one loss (at Ohio State).

It was Texas-OU weekend when I attend UT back in the late 60's.

Well, that dates me, it was just "OU Weekend" when I was there in the early 60s.

Here in MA we used to have the Boston Garden, aka the garden, they tore it down and built the "fleet center" which has now changed names again, us die hards still call it the garden, old habits never die and like us these people will still refer to it as the shootout, I wish the PC bunch would just hang themselves, literally, kinda like Jonestown and the cool aid - mass suicide.

That isn't PC, it's just simple (if obnoxious) capitalism. Fleet paid a lot of money for the naming rights.

Yeah, got there in '63 in time for the last known actual panty raid. However unlike your distinguished self,I promptly became hippie scum and majored in street pharmacology at a number of less and less distinguished schools.

Hey, I majored in Music at NTSU. You know how musicians were about pharmacology back in those days...PEACE!!! (I actually traded a Shelby Cobra for a VW bus.)

That's not stoned, that's perverted.

Based on how well Texas has (or rather has not) performed in the past decade or so, perhaps the name should be changed to "The Red River Shutout" rather than "Shootout."

Gig 'em, Aggies (as if we have room to talk)

Have you ever tried to travel with a full size string bass in a Shelby?

No, but I managed a lot of things in a Lotus Elan that were not supposed to be possible for a contortionist.

Sorry about that, I knew it was some something along those lines. I will fact check a little better next time. The reason for the name change was correct however.

Only Scooby-Doo would like this new name. I have trouble pronouncing it. (c:
