Congratulations to the Ponies from Abu Dhabi, UAE. The offense is beginning to get synch'ed up and defense is much improved over last year.

Thanks for the recap.

We haven't seen ANYTHING like we will see this week.

Tech did a nice job of hanging with Texas until they repeatedly shot themselves in the foot... but they are not TCU.
