I just don\u2019t get it.<\/p>\n<p>Texas whipped Colorado, but before the game, everyone said that the Buffalos would take it to the Longhorns.  Then everyone said that Oklahoma was too damn good and fast for Texas.  Now Missouri is going to put up too much offense for Texas?  WTF is wrong with the pundits?<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers took one on the chin last week to Oklahoma State.  So now Missouri is magically better than Texas?  They are just going to waltz into Royal-Texas Memorial stadium in front of 98K fans and whip Texas?  Fat f\u2019ing chance.<\/p>\n<table align=\"center\">\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/cgblog\/images\/sports\/college\/photos\/royal_texas_memorial_stadium_01.jpg\" alt=\"Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium\"\/><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p align=\"center\"><em>Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium will be rocking for #1 Texas!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>I do expect a good game, but it seems like we have heard this one before.  Go back to last year\u2019s Holiday Bowl, where Texas beat the living snot out of Arizona State.  Anyone remember how Texas was going to be flat against the Sun Devils?  I already mentioned Colorado, and we all know what happened at the Red River last week.  So now Missouri is the underdog that could.  Texas will be flat and all the crap.  I don\u2019t see it happening.  Texas by 13.<\/p>\n<p>Hook \u2019em!<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If Oklahoma was so f\u2019ing good, why are the \u2018Horns not getting any respect this weekend?
