I don't get the hype around Texas

Your memory is awful. They did call roughing on Bama on the play Ewers got hurt. And they intially threw a flag for targeting on the non-safety play, but waved it off on review. But they also ruled that Young got rid of the ball before he was down, so there was no safety either way.

Youtube refreshed my memory. You are right. Dallas Turner was penalized for the cheap hit. And it was a cheap hit. Turner launched himself at Ewers and used his body weight to rub him into the turf. As far as the gift roughing the passer call on Young, even the announcers said it was a horrible call. No one even really hit Young as he intentionally grounded the ball. They for sure didn't use their body weight to drive him into the turf. It looked incidental to me. And the announcers. It should've been intentional grounding. At minimum it should've been a no call, loss of down. Not a first down for Bama that bailed them out of a tough spot. The momentum of the game changed on that "horrible call".

The officials missed a blatant face mask on Alabama on Texas last drive that would given Tx a first down inside the 10 with a chance to kick their FG on the last play instead of with a minute or so left.

Here's my question: given that Ewers jumped and was completely off his feet when Turner hit him, what would you have Turner do? Even the Fox Sports guys were saying it shouldn't have been a penalty.

Bama did not get a first down out of it. They overturned the penalty on review. On the next snap Bama punted from their own 4 yard line. And I'm not sure how it could have been intentional grounding when it was deflected by a Texas player.

I thought you looked this up on YouTube.

Huh? Texas' last possession was a hail mary attempt from their own 24. Even if you're talking about Texas' last full drive, they did in fact kick a FG to go ahead. I've looked at all the plays from the point that TX gets to the Bama 30 to find a facemask that would have put them anywhere near the 10. I don't see it.

I aint got no use for the shorthorns. My grandkids are in the DFW area and when we go over there I wear all the pantone 151 that I have, and if anyone guesses wrong on my power T, I set em straight.

Well, since Tennessee is the only UT (and Bama won’t lose to texass), they’d only lose to one UT.

Since they are the newcomer to the SEC, can we make them stop referring to themselves as 'UT'? Or maybe we become 'The real UT'.

I also watched Jermaine Burton slap a young woman on national TV. What’s your take on that one?

Same as it what I said at the time: Burton should have been suspended. If it had been me, he would be off the team.

Now how about you actually respond to the post you quoted?

oh come on man. Not one of us here have been to away game after a loss and been surrounded by thousands of jubilant rival fans getting in our face. None of us have been 6'-0" tall, 200lbs, had a physique to play football in the SEC and had a 120lb blonde girl go running in front of us. anyone would have hit her in the back of her head in self defense.

Hasn't changed. The hit on Ewers was dirty. He was lighting up Bama's secondary before the hit. He was knocked out of the game and it changed everything. As for the Bryce Young endzone call, it bailed Bama out of a terrible situation. There was no roughing the QB. Announcers even said it was a terrible call. If anything it was intentional grounding.

I love how you cite the announcers for the Young call, but ignore the fact that they also said that the roughing call on Turner was also bad.

The penalty was overturned. No yardage was marked off. No first down was awarded. The penalty does not appear on the official play-by-play or box score. The play in question occurred on 3rd and 7 from the Bama 4. The next play was 4th and 7 from the Bama 4. The only effect the initial call had on the game was that it caused a pause while the ref reviewed. Why are you continuing to harp on a penalty that was not enforced?

If anything it was intentional grounding.

You're going to have to explain how a pass that was deflected by an opposing player almost immediately after leaving the QB's hand can be grounding. If that play was grounding, then any ball that gets batted down at the LOS is grounding.

Both in Bryant Denny. They will be sick of orange, even the burnt type.

Straight up, I hope Bama wipes the floor with Texas. Bama being good can cause me no more pain at this point. Need to shut these Shorthorns up a bit and make sure they fully understand what they have gotten themselves into starting in 2024.

Also gives us the opportunity to walk into BD and take down an undefeated Bama on their own turf. Leave no doubt kind of thing with no excuses from them.

Turner's feet came off the ground, period. He puts his arms around Ewers, plants his feet, launches, and comes down with his weight on Ewers.
His legs actually stop moving, he plants both feet, and lifts off the ground by his toes. It was intentional and a dirty hit.
I have seen players in similar situations move their body to the side to avoid the penalty.

I would be curious if there is a review period for their membership and an "out" for the SEC if Texas starts acting like, well Texas


Would be hilarious if the SEC just said forget it and booted them back to the Mid Major 12 in a few years.

When they start whining about not getting a bigger cut and try to bully people by throwing their weight around the SEC will realize the brand ain’t worth the bull.

True, but while the B12 and SEC are both "power" conferences that's about where the similarities end.

Texas got away with it in the B12 because they and Oklahoma were basically the conference. Quite frankly, for the SEC they are a nice add no doubt but not absolutely vital. They start that crap again, there's about five or six SEC schools which could individually slap them down easily individually, much less if they cooperated and formed an anti-Texas bloc.

They can throw weight around, but it won't hold any sway.

It could be worth their admission to see that happen.
