Being there must have made the difference. I'm gald you guys had a great time. I'm personally glad I sold my tickets, after seeing that game I'm convinced Texas should be rated about 24th. They sucked big time and I'm even more worried about next year.:dispntd: :dispntd: :dispntd:

I had tickets on the 50 from ticketmaster before Texas was announced as going, so I didn't get them.

While I am not his biggest fan, I think people are way to quick to jump on him..yesterday MANY times Texas WR or TE caught the ball and just had to make one move and could not..yet people gripe about Davis..he was putting his players in one on one situations to pick up a yard or two and they could not do it. Who is at fault?

i agree. I think its humorous how fans jump on Greg Davis yet they dont see any of his 100-plus hours of work during the week preparing for games and forming gameplans. Bill Parcells said it best when he said most coaches dont go into games with bad gameplans. It's all about execution.

Iowa wasnt a bad team at all. I think the main reasons they were 6-6 was because of injuries and uninspired play from Tate, now of course he played hie best game of the season against us. but then again who doesnt? Greg Davis better put in some power running formations or something because the zone read is about 90% ineffective. and it will remain that way unless Chiles or harris gets in there and runs it a little bit next year. Teams are just keying on the RB's because Colt never keeps it and even if he did hes not much of a threat to do anything with it, so teams are willing to take that risk. and it pays off. Im interested to see if Kindle can get in there next year and play some RB on 3rd down. or Cody Johnson? I swear this year I always hoped they would score from the 20 yard line are farther because they cant run the ball in the redzone.They totally wasted a year of Kindles eligibilty this year. He should of redshirted.

Lost a lot of respect for Tate last night. He throws that TD and starts doing the Horns down. . .not realizing that his man was lined up wrong and the TD didn't count. Then he turns around and throws a pick in the endzone. Classic. I hope his GPA is good because he won't be playing at the next level.

Yeah. he has no class. It was funny to see him throw that pic. Pride comes before Destruction. lol.

If that's how you feel, go root for A&M or, even worse, Oklahoma.

A true fan supports the team no matter what. I was there and I had a blast. It was a great game. I don't care how bad the win was...I just wanted the win.

Mack is 6-3 in bowl games.
Texas has won 3 straight bowl games.
Texas has 6 straight years of 10+ wins. NO OTHER PROGRAM IN THE NATION can lay claim to that, except UT.

All around, it was a big momentum builder for next year. With the recruits we have, and the ones we have coming in, I think next year will be a surprise to most people.

Injured---I was at the Hornfans tailgate...didn't stay that long, but I was there.

The crowd was about at 75/25...80/20 split.

I was impressed with how loud the Iowa Fans were considering their nubers. They traveled very well. A ton of Iowa fans out down by the River Walk etc. My uncle was the old man that was playing he drinking game with the college kids from Iowa at the Hornfans tailgate.

One things for sure. The Secondary get really get any worse statistically next year then they were this year. I think we will have a better pass rush next year with Orakpo playing full time.

Yeah. Im interested to see what Chykie brown might do. or the kid from Gilmer. Marcus Griffin should improve and be pretty solid next year.

Yeah same here. we looked like texas Tech out there trying to run the ball. But Hell. Tech's RB had 109 on the ground and 3 TD's.

Me voicing my opinion about the team doesn't make me less of a fan. I know football and I know what I saw. Besides I've been following Texas since before you were in liquid form.

I was at the Texas Bowl and the Alamo Bowl. I had a blast. The atmosphere in both was unbelievable, alot better than any normal college game. If I did not have to go to work on the 2nd I would have gone to the Cotton Bowl too.

I was the Alamo Bowl too, as a neutral fan. We had front row tickets in the 300 level in the Iowa endzone -- I could look right through the middle of the goalposts when the Allstate sign wasn't down. I had a great time, plus when I wore my LSU pullover on the Riverwalk, I made a lot of friends. I had a lot of fun with a large group of Hawkeye fans -- think I might go up there and watch a game one day. I think a lot of the Texas fans went home after the game because it seemed the Riverwalk had more Iowa fans, and they were outnumbered 10-1 in the Alamodome.

My son was at the game said he had a blast. Sat right on the dividing line of UT and Iowa fans and the banter was great. He did say a hot older woman stood right in front of him the whole game(would not sit) doing the horns sign to the Iowa fans but would not look at them.

speakin of that topic...i was at the Texas/OU game and i sat right on the 50 yard line and i saw a ut student standing in the middle of all the OU fans in a section over...he never sat down and never said a word, just stood there with both hands in the air giving the hook 'em sign
