    I think those 4 weeks are big for Ewers, as is the game. Get him ready against a quality opponent, to make a run for the CFP next September.

    Not a fan. The riverwalk stinks and the traditionally good food down there has deteriorated over the past 10 years. Anyone on our team can take a trip down anytime they want to. Like I said, I'm sure Washington is going to love it.

    Remember when Texas was a regular at The Bluebonnet Bowl?

    I really don't see it. He's had 2 1/2 years of practice and a full season under his belt. Maybe the time to clear his head again would be good. I saw the deer he bagged. That has to be a great time for him to be in nature and get things mentally straightened out much better than more practice.

    My first bowl game as a kid to see a Texas whip Archie Manning and Ole Miss.

    I didn't think he played at Ole Miss until 1968 and that game was 1966. But, it must have been fun.

    The Huskies?

    Great!

    Now my dog will be cheering against the horns!

    If we played Kentucky or LSU, he'd be on board.

    I always had a serious dislike for the Fiesta and Holiday Bowls - fly in for the game and back out after. I thought they were punishment for a subpar season, and hold it against Brock for screwing up The Cotton Bowl to allow the Fiesta into the Big Four.

    San Antonio is drive in and drive out, Chris Madrids before the game and Paesano's on East Basse if time permits. Last time, I left Alamo Dome at midnight to drive back to Houston.

    FWIW, my grandson thinks there is a clause in the Constitution that gives him "the right" to a Chris Madrid's Macho with cheese, plain and dry anytime we are South of Kyle.

    Again, I have been critical of him as well but I think that the expectations for this first year player (less than a full season, and returning from an injury) have been unrealistic. His perfect rating coming out of HS has worked against him.

    If as I suspect, he lights it up in the Alamo Bowl, watch the narrative change instantly, and the criticism dissipate like steam.

    I scored a Sugar Bowl cap from my daughter (then in the LHB). She thought the Sugar Bowl experience was a great end to her band career.

    I could easily name 3 locally owned Tex-Mex places in my town that are better than anything on the Riverwalk. But the folks from Washington won’t know the difference.

    You can't believe that Texas fans are tired of Texas being irrelevant and in sub tier bowls unless they back in to a bowl because OU is in the playoff?

    Really?

    I’m disgruntled that the official’s bad calls cost us a better bowl.

    If the only 2 options are no bowl or the Longhorn bowl, yeah.

    The extra time is more important for the OL. If they improve enough to give Ewer time to throw
    will help him much more than the 4 weeks and get some of our posters off his back.

    Who cares about getting posters off his back? Let's get opposing defenses off his back.

    Why all the bad mojo? It's the best bowl we've been in since 2009 (besides hick up in Sugar). Ya'll act like we are going to New Years's Day bowls ever year. It's a great matchup, top 12 team. Now if we aren't in a Major bowl next year, then complain...

    Wil Washington's QB skip it and go pro? Bijan skip it?

    I guess Texas could have turned down the Alamo invite but what team, city, half empty venue would the anti-Alamorians on here want? Realistically considering our record.

    Next year? So, that is when, after wandering the desert for over a decade, that things should be righted?

    Sugar bowl vs GA was better, but I get your point.
