I like Oregon.  They make decent wine there.  Decent, not elite.

Texas has some decent wine also.

14-1 baby.  I called it.

Yer just trying to jinx us.  I won't fall for it.

Texas wines are okay.  I've had a couple I've really liked.  They're not overly consistent though.  Makes it tough to buy through the vintages.

they lost to ala last yr too.
i think a lot of uw & penix.  if they can hold up up front they'll be able to strike downfield enough to hurt tx.
but i think in the end tx wins a close game b/c they are better everywhere else as stated itt.

Washington is going to score on us, probably plenty.  Our safeties are pretty pretty bad.  That is by far our largest team weakness.

I'm hopeful that, unencumbered by B12 officiating, our powerful d-line pass rush will be effective in hurrying Penix and limiting his downfield capability.

On the flipside, I'm not overly worried about Washington's defense being able to stop Texas in any significant manner.  As long as Sarkisian doesn't get conservative and turtle up, Texas just has so many ways to hurt you.  And he only tends to turtle up when he has a comfortable lead, I'm not expecting that to happen until late in the game, if at all.

I feel like Texas should win something like 35-24 or 35-28, maybe 38-31.  

But it's no guarantee of course.  Texas could end up losing by similar scores.

I had some pretty decent wines SW of Austin (back when I couldn't find any decent BBQ).  I even joined one club for a while to reward the lady we stayed with, she could go pick them up easily.  They had a nice place with  views etc. (the winery).  Forget the name.

The problem I find with wines from say Georgia or Virginia is that they can be half decent but cost double what they should.

The most any team has scored on us is 30 by Kansas St in OT I dont think Wash will score more then that

Im counting on our pass rush to control their deep passing threat

They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Its being widely reported that backup QB Murphy is entering the portal and will not participate in the CFB

If true my opinion of Murphy just went way down

Just  glad we found out about it now so we can prepare

That's the way of the world now.  Ewers is coming back, if Manning is staying put then Murphy probably sees the writing on the wall and wants to get to somewhere he'll be able to play, pronto.  At this point that seems more the norm than not.
