#3 Texas A&M vs #16 Texas -- televised two different streaming options -- a traditional airing/coverage (no network broadcast coverage) or coverage with conventional airing / coverage. It's fun to switch between the two; not sure which I prefer.
#3 is fighting for its life against #20. Playing at Texas, in Austin. 20 (Texas) - 10 (Aggies) early in fourth quarter; Texas has the momentum and now it has the ball again.
In the NFL, a #3 team would easily re-group and end up beating a #16 team. But this is college football between two huge rivals. No way to predict how this turns out.
I spent a lot of time with ChatGPT today talking about NFL football and how it truly resembles chess. Professional football is chess with a clock. For NFL coaches, it's all about time-management; for spectators like me, it's all about yardage. At the college level, the players are transitioning between focus on time and focus on yards.
With a focus on yards, an incomplete pass is "bad." With a focus on time, an incomplete pass is often "good."
With 9 minutes left, all of a sudden, it's 20 (Texas) -17 (Aggies). I honestly don't know which team to root for.
Wow, wow, wow -- 26 (Texas ) - 17 (Aggies) with seven minutes left in the game. So, we're back where we're started but all of a sudden, half the time remaining.
There it is. Second interception by Texas. Arch Manning and Texas wins by ten points, 27 - 17. Tough, tough, tough loss for Texas A&M. Wow. A&M lost its chance to be in bowl championship. Texas will argue it deserves to move on but probably won't win that argument.
