Can't complain about that....  Texas is in shock after their loss to KSU. 
And now they'll have to put up with a year of taunting from the Aggie 
alums. I'd certainly rather be us than them right now.

Hmmmm... on fire. I suppose that's heavily dependent upon by what standard

Still... they certainly found a way to win against the Aggies on the road, 
something Texas couldn't do at home, which is surprising. 

OU is beatable - question is - how?
