Texas announces sellout for Week 2 showdown with Alabama
Texas football announced Wednesday that its Week 2 clash with Alabama is officially a sellout, via the Longhorns’ official Twitter account.
It will be the first meeting between the schools since Alabama’s 2009-10 national championship victory over 2nd-ranked Texas, when a Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson-led Crimson Tide squad steamrolled the Longhorns, 37-21.
The Crimson Tide will no doubt be considered one of the top 5 teams in the country upon their visit to Austin in September. The Tide return Heisman-winning quarterback Bryce Young and will face a new-look Texas team that faced an offseason of significant turnover.
There is a strong chance Young will matchup against former Ohio State quarterback and 5-star redshirt freshman Quinn Ewers.
Alabama faces Texas after a bout with Utah State in Tuscaloosa. The Longhorns will host their second straight game to start the 2022 season, battling Louisiana-Monroe in Week 1.
Gonna be hot and loud…
The Bama fans will be the only ones making any noise in the second half, there will be alot of bare metal in the second half as well, like a Chinese fire drill. Think Bama or UF playing in Knoxville for example.
It might be hard to hear them in the nosebleed seats. Texas is serious about home field advantage. They push it to the limits.
LSU doesn’t do the exact same thing? I’m pretty sure the LSU AD even commented on the seating.
I suppose all the major programs do it to some extent. I remember that LSU fans thought it was exceptional at Texas.
Why is this such a big deal? Texas not usually sell out?
I didn’t take it as big deal. The Crimson Tide almost always sells out a stadium they visit.
Doesn’t everyone not named Vanderbilt sell out the Bama game?
Correction, vandy gets sold out too… By tide fans.
You give the early kick off to the national championship losing scrubs Alabama. They will be handing out free coffee at the game. You can catch the National Champion Georgia Bulldogs at 3:30pm against Oregon.
Actually it will just be the UGA bulldogs…. Last years NC….
Different day, not at 11am is what I meant.
Don’t matter the day or time… it would still be last years NC…
I understand there was a long time in between winning a Natty so you may not understand that the NC doesn’t carry over to the following year… You have to actually win it again…
LMAO
Dougie. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
Awwww, how cute. It’s Corky from Alcom.
Are you Stewie from Al.com? I got to admit you were hilarious back then. I bet you weren’t laughing after 33-18.
Awww. Dougie aka “Corky” aka “Goldie Locks”. I was this critters daddie on al.com. He ran in fear whenever I posted. He is a Drivel Queenie. Looking for attention from anyone. Please troll Dougie, he likes the attention.
National Champions don’t run.
We know Corky. You got you brand new created one NC dynasty. You should enjoy the NC. 40 years is a long time. Makes a body kinda crazy.
I told you chumps on Al.com that Georgia was going dethrone Alabama exactly to the day. Had you listened to me then you wouldn’t be so bitter and been able to bow out gracefully. Alabama has had a good run, now it’s Georgia turn. Just get use to it.
Becoming obvious why they shut down AL.com.
Doug: You still make me laugh. You have said Georgia was going to dethrone Bama since 2017. Not sure how saying every year means “to the day”. I’m not bitter either. Thought it was a good game and I understand you can’t win it every year. Congrats on last year and good luck this year. Maybe you can learn to win gracefully?
Georgia fan doesn’t even know the schedules, Georgia plays Oregon in the first week, not the the second
I’m a Razorback living in Austin…
Nothing is more satisfying than being in that stadium & watching it go from Orange to Silver (bare metal seats) by the 3rd or 4th quarter.
You’ve never seen a stadium empty as quickly as it will when Bama starts pounding on Texas.
Whatever the point spread, take the over.
Would be fun to watch the tide rack up double digit sacks against UTjr
I would be surprised if it weren’t.
Still, 11 am is so dumb, it can not be put into words.
Why would anybody want to go play football in austin texas? Yes AL should win big. But tx will probably short sheet everyone’s beds, have Beethoven playing in the locker room, and have their favorite media stooges paint the result as a freak accident. There must be some guarded knee slapping all over the Big 12
