Nickname for GG????

LonghornForLife — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 14:37:36 -0000

Hey Guys,

With the bye week coming up, I know most of you like me are trying to find things to occupy yourselves with things to do that may or may not be remotely related to Texas football.

With that being said, how about we expend some grey matter on coming up with a cool nickname for our new main man on campus Garrett Gilbert? I know we all call him GG, but come on, with the likes of 54B (to name one) to bless us with his unique insight on all things Texas Football (and then some), we can surely do better.

We got lucky the past 4 yrs. We couldn't have possibly come up with a better name than Colt (or the "Real McCoy", whichever you prefer) for a Texas QB. Man, he really was born to play QB for us.

Let the name calling begin!

Florida-Tennessee Result helping us?

Hey guys,

Maybe I'm off base here, but does anyone else get the feeling that Florida's unimpressive win over Tennessee couldn't have come at a better time for us?

With all the hype and build up to that game (read: Lane Kiffin being a jackass), everyone was expecting Meyer to bitch slap the hell outta the Vols. Instead they stumbled to a 10 point home against what was a very ordinary Tennessee team (and Mr. God's Gift to Mankind turned the ball over twice himself).

With all the attention bestowed on Florida this year, it looks to me, atleast in the national media, that not too many folks are creating a stink about our 10 point win over TTech. It seems to have flown under the radar. Couple that with the fact that TTech has a national reputation as a high scoring, prolific offense and the Texas media machine spinning Colt's Flu story for all its worth (Thanks to Tim Griffin for that as well!), it looks to me like we're getting a pass on this one.

I understand the paranoia that we as Texas fans feel if EVERY game we win is not a blowout (esp. given the events of last year) and the apparent need for "Style Points". However, we just have to keep things in perspective and always keep believing. Honestly, I see our No. 2 ranking as a blessing this year. Let Florida take the heat all season and have their every move analyzed. I am just fine having an "Under The Radar" No. 2 team.

Thoughts anyone?

Watching the Red River Rivalry in Vegas

Hi Guys!

My name is Sanket and I have been religiously reading this blog for the last couple of years. I just wanted to let ya'll know that I will be watching the game this weekend at the Sportsbook in the Bellagio. If anyone is going to be in Vegas this weekend, come join us there and lets watch the game together.

I will be the husky Indian guy wearing the #10 Vince Young jersey with the Rose Bowl patch on it with 2 (hopefully) drunk girls. I haven't been this nervous about a game in a while, and it will certainly help to have some moral support.

See you guys there!
