I know the dislike for Yahoo hacks around here, but there are some gems in this piece, written by a journalist embedded with the Texas team for the LSU game week.

“During bed check at the team hotel the night before the LSU game, a group of special team players awaited Texas coach Tom Herman with the most fitting tradition — an elaborate skit by the specialists. Linebacker Cort Jaquess dressed up as Ed Orgeron, with the sketch introduced as an alternate reality: What if Herman had taken the LSU job and Orgeron was the head coach at Texas? Herman cracked up and nodded approvingly at every one of Jaquess’ deep Cajun growls.”
quote:
“Gameday traditions include obstacle courses with pillow fights and dance circles.”
quote:
“There was plenty of laughter and mocking of the crude LSU fans’ spelling and accents. Ehlinger joked in the offensive staff room that he could picture a caller, who’d made multiple crude references to a tiger’s anatomy, sitting on his couch with “three teeth and a bottle of whisky.”

“Ehlinger sat alone at his locker and stared at the ground. He fiddled with a wristband in his hands, and after two minutes of a blank expression he peeled off his black socks. He tossed them to the ground in disgust and resumed sitting slumped, eyes fixated on the ground.”
quote:
“The Texas coaches’ locker room carried a similar shell-shocked vibe. Defensive coordinator Todd Orlando, after his unit gave up 573 yards, sat shirtless and motionless on a leather chair for about four minutes. He occasionally shook his head in disbelief.”

Going to be tough with their QB back and us losing ours...

That's not a guarantee. I'm pretty sure Ehlinger is a junior and will be draft-eligible.

true.. However, I am certain the no one on that Texas squad has been exposed to a hostile home crowd like they will be next year...

They truly didn't believe the LSU offense had improved that much. It was shocking to them

It will be tough if ehlinger returns. Overall, Texas is a young team.
I can't help it, but I have to call bullshite on this quote from the article:
"Strength coach Yancy McKnight got a call from a blocked number that left a voicemail in which the caller threatened to kill McKnight’s family. “You’ll find your family hung in the kitchen with their throats slit,” the voicemail to McKnight said. The caller punctuated with the message: “F--- you.”
I doubt that few, if any, LSU fans know who the UT strength and conditioning coach is. Even if they did, why in hell would they single out his family for a death threat?

If Ehlinger returns, they'll be preseason top 3 I think.
That team is stacked with young talent and Ehlinger is really damn good.
Makes me preemptively very depressed that we won't have Burrow after this year. He is the king of this team.

And all this time we were singling out the Aggies, when it appears they learned it from their big brother.

One thing that won’t change about the game next year. Their DBs still won’t be able to cover our WRs

This article makes their inside culture look incredibly immature. I get that they’re college kids and need to have fun, but damn... smh
