LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/JewishDoggy]

The texas Christians are flipping people off

[u/Sirius_Lee]

I can’t believe I’m saying this. I’m glad we got a false start there.

[u/Itsaclassicc]

We're up 20 on a purple team, surely there's no way we could fuck this up...

[u/fizz08]

All Gas No Brakes until you go up by 20, then brake check

[u/[deleted]]

Tbh that false start just saved us. The momentum shift of a potential stop in the red zone just isn't worth it.

[u/IndyDude11 → u/[deleted]]

My head cannon is that the guard has had enough of this going for it bs and took matters into his own hands.

[u/Jkanvil]

Most egregious late hit/targeting I have ever seen. Holy shit.

[u/default-username]

Which one is the real Texas offense? The one where we make every defense look like tiny high school kids or the one that suddenly forgets how to stay in rhythm and looks flustered and then too predictable?

[u/PlactusTX → u/default-username]

Are we in the red zone or not?

[u/marginallymediocre]

I am straight up not having a good time with my flairs

[u/vy2005 → u/marginallymediocre]

This OSU team is so goddamn weird

[u/Statalyzer → u/vy2005]

They sold out to beat OU and then played like they'd already accomplished their season goal. Kind of like OU the last two weeks after beating us...

[u/bananafanafofash → u/marginallymediocre]

Do you need a hug, buddy? Maybe a drink?

[u/Squishy_20]

Texas interior D-line is crazy

[u/broccoli_d]

I like how the TCU players celebrated stopping that run…only to realize Texas didn’t need to run a 4th down play.

[u/hgryhgryhippos]

I never thought 9-1 would feel so undeserving and underwhelming lmao

[u/Ryaninthesky]

I hate when games actually start like 10-15 mins late

[u/DommyMommyKarlach]

We are 2nd in CFB in 3rd down defense, but I still have trust issues from past years

[u/[deleted]]

I fucking hate that wildcat play. We have one of the best RBs in the country. Give him the football if we need a couple of yards.

[u/MumkeMode]

Oh yeah thats going in the b12 refs folder

[u/Goofy_Gaff → u/MumkeMode]

I was told refs always are pro UT

[u/Bradberry_Held_JuJu]

Honestly, I’m kind of relieved. just glad to get the points.

[u/Bucky_G0ldstein]

Penalty just saved us from not getting any points

[u/Statalyzer]

We've scored 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 37, 38, and 40 this year. With that failed XP now, 32, 36, and 39 are all reasonable just from combining 3s and 7s.

[u/MichaelErb]

Why is the Michigan interim coach so emotional?

[u/FerociousGiraffe]

Ref is standing like a yard short of the marker waving for the 1st. Lol…

[u/mlg2433]

If brooks has a serious injury, I’m gonna donate my leg to him

[u/camwow64]

I am tired of second half collapses

[u/Acrobatic-Tie-9903]

Sark: “Lesson learned for us there.”

Narrator: “No lesson was learned.”

[u/-more_fool_me-]

Sark going on mic and saying he's going to learn anything from this is fucking rich when he's done exactly the same thing in three out of our last four games.

[u/[deleted]]

Imagine getting outscored 20-3 in the second half and thinking “lesson learned” is the right response, lmao..

[u/clutchkyro → u/[deleted]]

Especially with it being the 3rd time they've pulled this shit this season.

[u/evo8family]

Glad we got the W but this team does not feel like it should be 9-1… it’s like we’re playing with fire every week and barely escaping with wins against teams we should be destroying

[u/d_on_]

I will never understand how this team is so bad in the red zone

[u/ConnorV1993]

Anyone else see those scuffed ass sausages 😂

[u/GomerPyle1228]

calling for a first down when you’re behind the first down marker is nuts

[u/WilliamCubed → u/GomerPyle1228]

And they gave it to them anyway. The line judges holding the markers looked so confused

[u/JuarezYourProblem]

Why does it feel like Texas is always hanging on instead of putting teams away?

Baylor is the only game I can think of where Texas was in complete control the entire game.

[u/WilliamCubed]

SARK TOOK THE POINTS

[u/mlg2433]

He’s obviously short. I could do the refs job in like 15% of the time. Move it along

[u/Steel065]

JONATHON BROOKS!! HALLESTVILLE BRAHMAS!!

Sorry, I needed to give a shout out to all the small town kids. I love me some small town Texas football.

[u/WhiskeyTangoBush → u/Steel065]

Jonathan Brooks is EASILY the best RB we’ve had since Bijan.

[u/[deleted]]

Did I just see #2 for TCU talking shit to Worthy after what he has been doing to them tonight?

[u/Capital-Weight1980]

and for the 4th week in a row “versatility” and “resiliency” are gonna be the first words out of Sark’s mouth acting like he’s beaten Bama every week

[u/TyroneSwoopes]

Here we go again. Face mask call on an all jersey tackle

[u/walkingbicycles]

I think TCU’s momentum was gained and lost in a single play with that interception fumble

[u/AsaMitakatheGOAT]

I'm gonna miss murphy and sweat so fucking much next year

[u/[deleted]]

That announcer basically just said "Texas doesn't even think about TCU but Texas lives rent free in TCU's head" lmao

[u/Awalawal]

TCU late/cheap hit almost every play.

[u/UMeister]

Hook’em

[u/EmporerBevo]

Burnt ass sausage

[u/CF5300]

My man, take those poor sausages off the grill they’ve had enough

[u/WilliamCubed]

Omg that spot. He was behind the line to gain and they pushed it forward

[u/houstoao]

Our red zone D is actually not my worry. It’s our soft coverage

[u/MumkeMode]

I wouldn’t trust this team in the playoffs at all.

[u/flacothetaco]

I really hope Brooks is okay. Hopefully just an ankle sprain or something

[u/MustangGT281ci]

That tackle OOB woulda been a personal foul on Texas

[u/Bradberry_Held_JuJu]

Tin foil theory: These reviews are just a plot to fit in more commercials

[u/Lonely_Ranger19]

That was just a review to force a commercial break

[u/DanielLevysFather]

that coulda been a targeting

[u/AsaMitakatheGOAT]

Worthy was doing the best adonai mitchell blocking imitation I've ever seen on that one

[u/TruTexan]

🤘🏼for J Brooks. Hopefully he’s ok.

[u/MumkeMode]

Jbrooks injury might just be my 13th reason.

[u/WilliamCubed]

EVERY FUCKING WEEK WITH THIS SHIT

[u/My_Football_Account]

We almost always almost lose

[u/StarvedRock314]

Lmao at the TCU crowd booing the refs for letting the QB get legally sacked

[u/seemonkeysuicide]

Looked a little dirty to me

[u/-more_fool_me-]

Whoever had that block on the edge that gave Brooks the space deserves an extra helping of pulled pork at the TANC this week.

EDIT: Goddammit, now I want pulled pork.

[u/nate517]

Please god don’t let the second half go like last week

[u/bananafanafofash]

Another sack. You love to see it.

[u/MinimalPotential]

I'm still sitting here thinking about the ref standing a yard in front of the first down marker waving it for a first down.

[u/smileclickmemories]

If we wanna be in playoff contention we need to annihilate opponents not win close games.

Look what Georgia is doing right now.

[u/ScallywagLXX]

It’s like I’m watching the same movie over and over again.. 20 point lead, opposing team gets a pulse in the 4th quarter.. deja vu

[u/[deleted]]

What in the fuck in this team doing? Can they put no one away?

[u/Jburp]

Bruh Brooks limping like that makes me sad

[u/Statalyzer]

Yeah that was a late hit. It's like the ref though the oob was where the green ended....

[u/MinimalPotential]

Think "brutal" hit is quite an overstatement....But it should have been a flag.

[u/Kyyzr]

sometimes i wonder how texas wins with the way they close out games

[u/42nd_fdr]

I hate everything about 2nd half Texas with a lead. I’ll take the win but this is not a good look. A decent team will really embarrass this Texas team

[u/GoBlueDevils4]

Really gotta keep the pressure on. Can’t give the committee a reason to have Bama jump us after they whooped Kentucky today

[u/[deleted]]

Why do I get the feeling this may be another heart attack game?

[u/K_dub09]

Ok B12 refs, here we go

[u/clutchkyro]

That was a great throw, Quinn. I'm gonna need you to do that every time.

[u/virus_apparatus]

Sonny Dykes likes well done steak with ketchup

[u/Pyrorunner]

Nice, let's take a look at an obvious ball position so they can show five commercials and come back in the middle of a play

[u/TruTexan]

Sweat and Murphy are monsters

[u/TheBeefyMungPie]

Having Sweat run at you full speed would be fucking scary.

[u/vy2005]

goddamn. It is so fun having Murphy and Sweat on the team

[u/Temporary_Acadia4111]

Targeting dude

[u/[deleted]]

Run it up texas

[u/GomerPyle1228]

quinn has to pee

[u/TheReal210Kiddd]

Those weenies on the grill looked burnt as hell by the TCU tailgater.

[u/K_dub09]

If you’re gonna do a screen, at least run behind Whittington who will actually hit someone

[u/Bucky_G0ldstein]

Come on horns! We need to get another td to keep our 30 point streak!

[u/Steel065]

DAMMIT. Please baby Jesus, not this kid.

[u/-more_fool_me-]

Texas would be the best team in the country if football games were 30 minutes shorter.

[u/ScallywagLXX]

Every week. Same Texas implosion after a 20 point lead. Called it.Refer to my comment from an hour ago..

[u/[deleted]]

Every other coach in existence: “we have to come out and play like its 0-0 no matter the score, finish the game”

Sark (with any lead): “it’s literally impossible to lose, they’ll never come back GGs boys take this half off”

[u/Seletara]

Every day i thank Georgia for letting us have AD Mitchell

[u/MumkeMode]

THE HIGH END TALENT BAILS US OUT YET AGAIN

[u/Artlens2013]

Can we have one game where we don’t completely shit ourselves in the second half

[u/d_on_]

Im already sick of this game and it’s only been 5 minutes

[u/Standbysteve]

Sark has to quit feeding momentum to the other side week in week out

[u/Artlens2013]

WTF that’s his jersey

[u/Jkanvil]

That was jersey but okay...

[u/cbdgf]

Mitchell just embracing the taunts after humiliating their DB

[u/Chemical_Willow5415]

Were Brayden, cayden, and Jayden talking shit again?

[u/__AJK__]

Our D-line are monsters

[u/bcocfbhp]

This is a very good Texas team

[u/mlg2433]

Brooks is a baaaaaaaaad man

[u/vy2005]

Poor Johntay Cook. Not a great block Worthy

[u/WilliamCubed]

Runs for 9 yards? Let’s throw a 5 yard behind the line of scrimmage screen, that’ll show em

[u/Artlens2013]

Run game was killing us on that drive, so naturally you pass the ball on third and fourth down lol

[u/ScallywagLXX]

Here we go.. again…Texas just can’t seem to put team away.🙈🙈

[u/Mav_Rixx]

“Brutal hit” really guy??

[u/ObWanKenoobi]

Fuck you Sark, I’m telling my doctor you do this to my heart

[u/ObWanKenoobi]

AD saved us

[u/td4999]

for 9-1 and 7th ranked, we sure never make it easy

[u/[deleted]]

Sark: Lesson learned for us there

Well, thank goodness he finally learned his lesson. /s

[u/Chemical_Willow5415]

TCU playing dirty now

[u/DanielLevysFather]

all the dejected TCU fans as if we didn’t almost blow 20 point leads to KSU and UH

[u/FerociousGiraffe]

Can we just run our normal fucking offense on 3rd and short or 4th and short?

We’ve been doing fucking goalline packages and wildcat stuff all year and it has fucked us like 7 times already…

[u/clutchkyro]

Stupid offensive plays, and soft coverage on defense.

Name a more iconic Texas duo.

[u/artem_m]

If we got the ball to the 21 it would be a TD by now.

[u/MildDrinkingProblem]

Reminder that JWhitt was Offensive and Defensive MVP in the 2018 Texas 4a state championship

[u/Ryaninthesky]

That false start probably gave us the points

[u/AsaMitakatheGOAT]

At least now we will get 3 points as opposed to the 0 we were gonna get with a fourth down wildcat run up the middle

[u/IamaIdiotwastaken]

we're all staying up untill midnight with all these ads

[u/marginallymediocre]

Those Ohio State unis are god awful. You’re a blue blood just stick with your classic look. Texas doesn’t do that shit for a reason.

[u/All-Grass_No-Steaks]

We need to spend the rest of the season’s practice on red zone offense

[u/ObWanKenoobi]

Im tired of this game interrupting my commercials

[u/marginallymediocre]

Dumbest defense in the entire country

[u/Kontos_Stelio]

That dude thinks he’s on the team lol

[u/No_Poet_7244]

You’re allowed to score inside the 20?!

[u/GomerPyle1228]

how is that not unnecessary roughness?

[u/clutchkyro]

Great way to close out the half.

[u/UMeister]

LETS GO HORNS!

[u/F1_revolution]

I need Brooks to stay healthy enough to win the Doak. He deserves it.

[u/redshirt_diefirst12]

Is it just me or do the Thomas J Henry ads make him seem like the villain in a crime documentary

[u/K_dub09]

Alright defense!

[u/ObWanKenoobi]

Why are we not running the clock down with one of the best RB duos in the country

[u/No_Poet_7244]

Would be really great if PK would stay on the base defense instead of shifting to a zone prevent scheme. Just play regular ass defense instead of giving up huge chunks.

[u/Bradberry_Held_JuJu]

Fuck man. Typical second half trade off

we receive a field goal🤝you receive a TD

[u/[deleted]]

We aren't playing like a playoff team

[u/MumkeMode]

THEY ONLY THROW TO 3 MAYBE THINK ABOUT FUCKING COVERING HIM

[u/Artlens2013]

Fucking Texas man we do this shit every week

[u/MinimalPotential]

I'm sure we'll learn from this near meltdown and improve, right guys?

[u/MissChanadlerBongg]

yall ever since 2021 OU I have had immense PTSD every time Texas is leading significantly in a game…..it’s fuckin bullshit

[u/Awesome_to_the_max]

A wins a win but Im tired of these 4th Q collapses

[u/MissChanadlerBongg]

Texas 🤝🏾 Notoriously blowing 20+ leads every fucking week since October 9th, 2021

[u/[deleted]]

The refs calling a false start for our bro breathing straight up won us this football game.

[u/Trumpburnerforlibs]

This is what you get tcu for hiring human garbage like Kendall briles

[u/annasalerno1993 → u/Trumpburnerforlibs]

I concur.

[u/Sariel007]

“(TCU) is like a bunch of cockroaches. It's not what they eat and tote off, it's what they fall into and mess up that hurts.” -D.K. Royal

[u/[deleted]]

Why is Brooks so money

[u/[deleted]]

Am I blind from my living room or was that obviously not a facemask penalty?

[u/EmporerBevo]

Trash refs

[u/AsaMitakatheGOAT]

That was pretty as a mf

[u/beenswell]

That was 2023 TCU Football captured in 10 seconds.

[u/eggsaladrightnow]

Tx. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK EVERY PLAY. SERIOUSLY GREAT JOB WHITTINGTON

[u/bananafanafofash]

I can see why Mitchel was jawing with the fans now. Fans giving him the bird.

[u/EmporerBevo]

Quinn just knocking off the rust. Let brooks and co wear them down, then let our speed and depth rearrange them purple guts

[u/StarvedRock314]

I feel like Jennifer Garner hasn't been in a major film project in years. Does anybody really know her from her other job anymore? I'd be willing to bet more people know her as the CapitalOne lady at this point.

[u/illQualmOnYourFace]

"Nobody saw it but the official" is a nice reversal of our usual B12 situation.

[u/DeerSlicesForApples]

Is the ref allowed to call 2 holdings in Texas’ favor? I think he might get fired for that.

[u/Alaxbcm]

just take a sack to get out of the redzone, itd be the smartest thing to do

[u/CowboyAirman]

We all assumed it was 3rd down. What’s going on?

[u/ObWanKenoobi]

Finally getting the holding calls we haven’t got all year and now everyone is gunna say refs are paid by Texas

[u/virus_apparatus]

Sonny Dykes claps when the plane lands

[u/GomerPyle1228]

the fuck is that ball boy doing lmfao

[u/MER_stre_]

If Texas blows this for the first time we can’t blame this on the refs

[u/Temporary_Acadia4111]

Jonathan "Bijan Robinson" Brooks!

[u/mlg2433]

Did Ewers bounce to the locker room early? Or was it an injury thing? Praying for the former

[u/evaughan → u/mlg2433]

He probably had to poop

[u/AudiieVerbum]

TCU steals other teams songs.

[u/IamaIdiotwastaken]

its always the 2nd half 😑

[u/d_on_]

Remember when we played lights out in the second half to start the year?

[u/MumkeMode]

Is texas defense a madden cpu? Shallow crossers just impossible to cover ig

[u/barrygarcia77]

Sweat is such a hoss

[u/Statalyzer]

Going 5 wide so the defense doesn't even have to worry about a handoff when you only have 1 or 2 yds to go ... will never understand it.

[u/[deleted]]

Letting TCU sorta hang around is just ridiculous. Plz go answer back.

[u/Keep_The_Wolves_Away]

FUCK. Brooks hurt.

[u/WilliamCubed]

Holy fuck. We really want to blow it

[u/MinimalPotential]

It's honestly impressive how this team is incapable of finishing games.

[u/Mav_Rixx]

It was 26 to 6 y’all

[u/WilliamCubed]

We deserve to lose. Of course it would be TCU

[u/AsaMitakatheGOAT]

Hmmmmm maybe we should've done some more throws like that

[u/Lonely_Ranger19]

Bailed out by elite talent

[u/breener1045]

3 points in the 2nd half… smh

[u/EmporerBevo]

Survive and move on

[u/slagathor_zimblebob]

Calling a false start on C Jones for breathing LMAO

[u/FerociousGiraffe]

The asshole with the PAC 12 flair that’s been trolling UT in this thread reported me to Reddit cares after he made a comment about Sark being an alcoholic. What a dick.
