Source: Longhorns likely to play in Texas Bowl for postseason
34 minutes ago

Following a 48-10 loss to TCU on Thanksgiving night the next game for the Texas Longhorns will likely be at Houston's NRG Stadium for the Advocare Texas Bowl.

A source with knowledge of the situation told Horns247 the Dec. 29 game, which is operated by the Houston Texans of the NFL, is where the Longhorns are expected to travel for the postseason.

“It's not a done deal, but it's pretty close to one,” the source said. “Not 100 percent, but real close.”

If the Longhorns (6-6, 5-4 in the Big 12) do play in the Texas Bowl it will be against a team from the Southeastern Conference. The likely opponent in that situation would either be Texas A&M (7-5) or Arkansas (6-6), but unlike the Big 12 where the bowls select the teams not in the College Football Playoff or associated bowl games the SEC chooses which teams go to which bowls.

Latest word today Texas will play either Arkansas or LSU at Texas Bowl or Liberty Bowl, definitely no Texas- ATM matchup.

Something could possible change but highly unlikely from what I am hearing, I know the players and fans would like to see it happen.

It is the sec 's decision who they want their teams to be paired against unlike other conferences, just saying.

Yeah, and I'm sure little ol Texas has no say what so ever in the matter.

I'm wondering if A&M has any "say" in the matter. I'd expect UT to win by 2 scores at this point in A&M's season.

I just pointed a fact that sec is the only conference to slot their teams in bowl games, while other conferences do not have that option.

I'm on the Tiger Rant forums a lot and the consensus over there is, is that it's either the Texas Bowl or the one in Florida. I'm praying it's LSU and Texas. My first LSU game ever was the Cotton Bowl in 2001 (I think that was the year). I was eleven years old and still have no idea how that Texas team didn't do better. Vasher, Sims, BJ Johnson, Roy Wiliams, there were stars all over the field.

It would be nice to get another LSU game under my belt this year.

Macarther, you have some really nice comments, then you come up with DA comment that shows what an Aggie you are

Well, I went on ahead and bought tickets for the game. Obviously hoping it's LSU, but if it's A&M then I'll just sell them. I would assume that would turn into a hot ticket.

And your sarcasm meter is obviously broken. Your sense of humorous worse than hook.

Saggy , you do not have a freaking clue, you said your beloved aggys would get smoked by Auburn also. You think your aggys gonna get smoked also by WV, let's here your pick. I will say for sure we do not matchup well against them hogs but time will tell, if Swoopes sucks again then we definitely in trouble again.

I think everyone was shocked by the Auburn game...
I do not think they'll get smoked by WV.
Ill take A&M by 10

I predict
WV 34 - Aggies 20
Problem is, no one can predict which Aggie team will show up. If the team that beat Auburn shows up, the score above will be flipped.

I bought tickets in section 105 Row C before the teams were announced anticipating it would be Texas and LSU. I put them up ASAP after Arkansas was announced and somehow managed to profit more than $200.

This should be a good one. If Swoopes doesn't panic, the Horns win.

No sarcasm intended, just an honest perception based on multiple comments, even with out Hook biting at you.
