OK, so the Texas Longhorns are going to Lawrence, Kansas, this week to face off against the Kansas Jayhawks, their last road game of the regular season. I’ll keep this brief since I know very little about KU, except that head coach Mark Mangino is the spitting image of Mr. Lunt from VeggieTales:

Hee-hee.

OK, I’ll try to be serious now. (Giggle-snort.) Yeah, so anyway, the Jayhawks have a great quarterback, Todd Reesing (an Austin native), who will probably be more of a challenge to the Texas defense than Baylor’s Robert Griffin. But Texas still has Colt McCoy and now-healthy Quan Cosby and Fozzy Whittaker. Plus, Kansas has a 6-4 record, so barring any major injuries or a complete breakdown of coverage, the Horns should win this one pretty solidly.

The Wii predicts a score of 44-0, Texas. I predict Mangino will break into song about cheeseburgers by the end of the third quarter.

(Sorry. I couldn’t resist.)

Real score: 35-7. Pretty close to the predicted score and a nice win for the Horns. Only one game left: a Thanksgiving-day roasting of Texas A&M. But before that, we’ll have to see how this week’s match between Texas Tech and OU turns out, as the outcome of that game has a big impact on which bowl Texas ends up in. More on that later in the week.
