Update on the anti-victory II

My post this morning was mostly in jest.  My update was made with full confidence that the Horns would pull it out in the second half.  This update is made with disbelief that Joe Walker managed to cost the Horns yet again.  I call upon Ojo to post the litany of games swayed to the loss column by the swirling vortex of the Anti-Victory.  The loss of Colt McCoy hurt a lot, but Jevan Snead settled down and played well enough to win the game had the running backs not fumbled twice in the third quarter to set up easy touchdowns for K-State.  I certainly hope Colt McCoy is able to come back and play next week and that Joe Walker gets fired and his office burned.

Ohio State 42 -- Florida 13 is the new national championship prediction.  Boise State might give the Horns a game if Joe Walker remains associated with the team.  Worst decision Mack has made as a head coach was hiring him.

Update on the anti-victory

Goddamn my prognostic acuity!  And damn the curse of Joe Walker.  I blame him for the injury to Colt McCoy that turned this game from a sure rout into a close game that K-State is currently leading by a touchdown at halftime.  Just when it was starting to look so promising for the Horns to go back to the title game with the losses by Louisville, Auburn and Cal and the close call by Florida.  If Snead can hold it together for two games they'll play for the national championship.  Come on Jevan!

Texas is screwed

Texas will see it's national title aspirations fizzle today in Manhattan, Kansas.

Normally I would predict the three touchdown beatdown that logic dictates.  Today, however, the Horns must play against the Wildcats of Kansas State and the curse of the Anti-Victory thanks to the Austin American-Statesman.

Learning about the presence of the Anti-Victory on the coaching staff of the secondary explains a great deal of how terrible that unit has played at times this year.  Learning that he was on the staff last year simply makes the magnitude of Vince Young's indomitable Aura of Victory even more astounding.  I mean, his powers could only be rivaled by the likes of Jesus Christ himself, for who else could beat the greatest team in the history of college football in their home stadium with the Anti-Victory on his own sideline?  It's like Superman beating up on Galactus while wearing Kryptonite underwear.  Unbelievable.
