Horns down? That is an OU thing, by the way. Be classier than that. Er, oops. Anyway, Fatty is certainly obsessed--he finally showed up in the WZ to get picked on again and disappear, as per usual.
You certainly have a better chance this year than we thought you did last year, ironically enough. Hard to put the finger on why Texas is not improving, but so far we can point at Greg Davis for running an East/West passing game that is all kinds of wrong. Starting Jamaal Charles 10 yards behind the LOS and asking him to make his own holes to run through might eventually not work. Asking your offensive line to zone block/pass block and then being surprised when they can't succeed in short yardage situations is also not a great move.
Then there is the defense, which is somehow even more susceptible to blowing pass coverages than it was last year, and has linebackers who just don't know what the hell they're doing. Oh, and if they pin you deep, there is a chance that they will commit an atrocious penalty to get your right back to where you need to be.
Oh, and Colt still hasn't looked like he did last year prior to the injury (thanks).
So the answer is yes, you have a good shot at it. All of that noted, I have no idea how strong/weak you guys are this year. Hanging with Auburn is not looking that glorious anymore, given Auburn's lack of performance.
Have fun if you come on down.
