Addition by Subtraction

Malik Jefferson, Anthony Wheeler, and Patrick Vahe join Holton Hill and Davante Davis on the bench for the start of this game as Charlie Strong looks for a winning combination. John Burt has also sort of been benched though the official story is he’s hurt. Yeah Sure.

My secret source inside the UT administration who is close to the football program sort of confirms the theory that the Horns have to run the table for Charlie Strong to keep his job. I’d be surprised if that happens but it says here that Texas makes fewer dumb mistakes, blows fewer coverages, commits fewer penalties, and drops fewer passes than their norm today to beat Baylor in a mild upset 35-31.

For the Record

On this date 39 years ago Texas defended it’s new #1 ranking by beating Texas Tech at home 26-0. A younger, fatter Willie Earl and Larry Don Campbell celebrated the victory and satisfied their munchies feasting on Monte Cristos at Jojo’s on Anderson Lane and later that evening drove around West Austin in Larry’s 1972 Monte Carlo drinking from personal quart bottles of Big Red and getting the munchies again.
