As it stands now either all this attention is going to focus and motivate them or leave them completely disarrayed. If it's the latter we have a chance; if the former we're in trouble.

That, and keep in mind that last year they came in expecting a pushover and found a team with a little bit of talent at positions and schemes they didn't have the year before - they were surprised. This year, they are going in expecting a fight, and it's at their place. Big difference.

Plus Grobe will be trying to win big every week to try to get the job on a permanent basis.

I have heard that the long term plan might be for Grobe to take over as AD.

No chance of them being "completely disarrayed" unless they lose a bunch of starters and coaches. They obviously won't be nearly as crisp without Art Briles but they'll still destroy the teams on their OOC slate.

They're still stacked with talent. Assuming Grobe gives the offensive reins to Kendall Briles, it'll be interesting to see how the results compare to those under his father.

This forum has devolved into a collection of guys yelling at each other, to yell at the kids, to get off their lawns.

I, for one, love it!

And I too hope we beat Baylor. But to pick us is absolute insanity.

I love that too.
