Horns are #1

We know this appears below in News Bits, but we figured it deserved its own space. It's only been, what, like 22 years or something since UT was ranked #1 at any point in the seaon?

Well, apparently the blowout victory over the Red Raiders on Saturday impressed more than just the third-largest crowd in UT history. The latest BCS poll has UT ranked #1. The Horns are in the driver’s seat now. Finish off Baylor, Oklahoma St., Kansas and A&M and they are Rose Bowl bound. Get your tickets to Pasadena now.

i am not a horns fan, but i guarantee they will not lose before pasadena. and if usc stays unbeaten, which is a little dicier proposition, but not much, they will move back into 1st in about 2 weeks. texas' opponents win % is higher than sc's right now, but that will all change over the next 3 weeks. and then it will be usc and ut in rose. they will solve it on the field.

If Mack Brown is involved, they will flub it. And it will be glorious when they do. Just give it time. The next few games should be cakewalks but they will figure out a way to blow it at some point.

i don't think (knock on wood) they'll flub it up. But at the same time, look for UT to fall back to #2 next week since our remaining schedule is so weak.

I'm so glad this happened because now when they screw the whole thing up and lose it will be even more painful for their god awful fans. i really can't wait. i'm almost giddy about it.
