Burnt Orange Nation Texas Wins

Like most of us around these parts, I haven't slept too much these past two nights.  While lying in bed, I got to thinking, and check this out...in the last 6 seasons (04-09) UT has lost NINE GAMES total.  Of those nine games, FIVE were by one TD or less, and two more (Oklahoma in 04 and Bama Thursday night) were in doubt in the fourth quarter.  So basically, in the last 69 games, Texas has been blown out exactly TWICE.  Not bad.  I know this doesn't make 37-21 any easier to swallow, but maybe it can provide a small bit of perspective on how successful Mack and the boys have been in the past few years.  Hook 'em.

Burnt Orange Nation Unis

I'm wondering what everyone here thinks of the Horn's new basketball uniforms.  I know this is the second year they've worn this style, so they may not qualify as 'new,' but still...I remember first seeing this style, Nike's 'System of Dress' unveiled during the 2007 NCAA Tournament with a few teams (Ohio State, Florida, a few others) and thinking, "Those look terrible, I hope Texas never goes that route." 

Fast forward to the beginning of last season and sure enough, the Horns-and many other school for that matter-are rocking the ultra snug tops with the billowy dress-like shorts.  Horrible. 

Maybe I'm missing something here, but what was wrong with the previous issue?  I loved the duds that TJ took us the Final Four in, and that KD wowed us in two years ago.  Let me know what y'all think, and if I'm totally off-base and the only one who hates this look, by all means, call me out.
