TEXAS!!! #ut #40

RT @mikefinger: James Brown, who just got a big hand for being inducted into #UT hall of honor, looks like he could still beat Neb by 3 TDs.

This is not a late-arroiving crowd tonight. #ut

FIGHT #40

As expected, colt mccoy got a huge ovation, followed by jordan shipley. Chris hall bit his lip to keep from tearing. #ut

Senior night intros are done — we’ll miss those guys, they gave their hearts to the Horns…how great would it be to see them go out on top

Okay, senior festivities are over and team is on the field. Sentimentality can wait until the 4th quarter. Go Horns! #UT #40

Ready for kickoff here at DKR. Fans pumped for last home game of the year. #ut

Best WR screen coverage by Horns ever? Earl Thomas tackles KU WR behind LOS for the loss. #UT #40

Fantastic to see CB Aaron Williams back on the field for the Horns. #UT #40

Horns always start the game with a mediocre drive on defense before Muschamp adjusts. KU on the other side of the 50. #UT

Kansas coming out in the option and having some success moving the football. #ut

Kindle lays the wood to KU’s Opurum and knocks him out of the game…so much for that ABC key to the game. UT looking for a big stop here

It was nice to see Jordan Shipley honored at senior night for the 37th straight year. #ut #horns

Texas stops Kansas on fourth down at the UT 42 to take over on offense. Momentum now in Texas’ hands. #ut

Big 4th down for Kansas is denied as #UT gets tons of pressure on QB Reesing. Turnover in downs.

Love it when a surprise party works! Happy #40 to my great friend Ryan….

Well, so much for that.

Chykie Brown with huge sack on 3rd and long. Sergio Kindle holds OT and Chykie came untouched. #UT football.

Sergio kindle just hugged chykie brown in case chykie wantes to celebrate his sack. #ut

Clark ford got a piece of punt. He’s a former walkon celebrating his senior day. Memorable play for him. #ut

KU may have had their best drive of the game…much like what we saw last week against Baylor. Expect a UT score on this drive, with Johnson

Marquise Goodwin on the loose! Takes the WR screen 34 yards on opening play of series. Nice block by Shipley and the OL on the play. #UT

Is Cody Johnson the #ut version of Jorvorskie Lane? #horns

41-yard TD from McCoy to Kirkendoll, 7-0 Horns. #ut

Touchdown James Kirkendoll! #UT offensive line gives Colt plenty of time for stop and go and hits Kirk in stride for the 41 yd score!

Is that Kirkendoll’s best play of the year. It was a nice route. I say yes. #ut #horns

Easy as pie — Shipley draws double coverage in the slot and fres up Kirkendoll down the sideline for 41-yrd TD pass. 7-0 UT

UT defense holds on great play by Thomas to cut down Meier before he gets to the marker. Look for another UT score here.

If you’re going to name your child after a Texas city, don’t make it Lubbock. Even Amarillo would be better. #UT #40 #KU

Texas taking shots at Kansas defense. ABC announcers talking about #UT going deep, I think we’ve done it more already than most games.

RT @40acressports: If you’re going to name your child after a Texas city, don’t make it Lubbock. Even Amarillo would be better. #UT #40 #KU

You know what would be nice? Blocking.

Not a good play by Colt on the fumble. Knew the pressure was there, has to get rid of the ball earlier. Just throw it away. #UT #40

Nice to see #ut going deep and stretching the field. As for the running game … well, it’s not Baylor out there. #horns

McCoy not as fast as he thought as he get’s caught from behind and fumbles. UT defense wheting its appetite.

I am convinced M. Houston will be a long-time pro…he has a great motor and shows explosiveness and speed for a 300-lb’ er. Just got a sack

Kansas gets a field goal off the Colt fumble. 7-3 #ut

Kansas’ big 3rd down pass to Briscoe sets up 27 yrd FG to cut the UT lead to 7-3. Will UT try to establish run game now?

Senior day forgettables. Mccoy, shipley both have fumbled #ut

RT @JimBobBreazeale: I think even Mangino’s sperm is obese. - lol, I should stop. #ut #40

Texas offense has good yardage but is still looking for some consistency tonight. No run game at all. #UT #40

McCoy!! Shipley!!! Touchdown Horns!! #UT

Shipley breaks free for a touchdown on the roll out from McCoy. 14-3 #ut

Shipley just tied school record for most touchdowns for a receiver. #ut

RT @suzhalliburton: Shipley just tied school record for most touchdowns for a receiver. #ut

McCoy to Shipley for TD on great crossing pattern. Block downfield by M. Williams springs #8 for the score. 14-3 and the rout is on.

Biggest crowd in UT history tonight as 101,357 enjoy the final home game of 2009.

Anyone notice that one week after determining Cody Johnson was the answer at RB, that Tre Newton is playing a ton tonight for #UT

Doisregard tweet about shipley. Bad info

RT @stevehabel: Biggest crowd in UT history tonight as 101,357 enjoy the final home game of 2009.

Way too many missed tackles by #UT tonight. Muschamp is going to crush someone if it doesn’t improve.

Kansas moves down the field but is once again held to a field goal. 14-6 #ut

Official attendance is 101.357. Biggest crowd in school history #ut

Can’t beat Texas with FGs, but KU draws closer with 26-yrd kick. Muschamp is getting a little upset over there cause of missed tackles

Failed onside attempt by Jayhawks gives UT the ball in KU territory. #ut

Now PLEASE put #40 in!!!!

Nice to see Marquise Goodwin back for the kickoff return instead of Shipley. Doesn’t get chance for return as KU muffs onside kick. #UT

Horns get a field goal of their own. #UT up 17-6

Lawrence hits 49-yarder on his senior day. Texas is up 17_6. #ut

KU’s ill-advised onside kick leas to a personal-best 49-yrd FG by Lawrence and a 17-6 UT lead. Let’s see what Muschamp had to say to the D.

Lawrence’s 49 yarder was a career long field goal. #ut

Blake Gideon is playing with some attitude tonight. Huge hit on crossing route and then he even enjoyed it for a minute. #UT #40

Come on Texas….. Florida beat FIU 62 - 3 and Bama beat Chatt 45 -0…granted those were glorified scrimmages… but come on guys. #ut #40

Seems like the UT D learned a lot as KU gets nothing on next series in the face of UT rush and good secondary coverage

Almost all the snaps are going to Tre Newton tonight. Barrett Matthews in at tight end for Texas too. #UT #40

Ship’s got some serious “guns”….. damn….. can we say biceps?
#40 #ut

Touchdown Texas! Horns take control on Cody Johnson one-yard plunge. 24-6

Cody Johnson back in his usual role as short yardage back? Touchdown Texas on beautiful drive. #UT takes 24-6 lead.

Johnson scores from 1-yard out. That’s his 12th touchdown of year. #ut 24-6.

Texas shows some more versatility with 59-yard drive. UT now has all of 19 yards rushing in the first half, the final 1 by Johnson on a TD

ABC announcers think #UT fans should think its awesome that refs got call correct AGAINST the Horns? Really?

Love it. Going for the kill. Texas calling timeouts with 1 minute left and KU in 2nd and long. #UT

Really hate that clock runs after defensive penalty. Why is offense punished for defensive mistake? #UT #40

Hunter Lawrence sends in another field goal to put Texas up 27-6. #ut

Penalty actually helps KU as Texas has to burn a TO rather than spike the ball and have more time on the clock. UT adds 47 FG, 27-6 lead

Lawrence adds a 47_yarder with 7 seconds remaining for a 27-6 lead. Hunter has had his 2 longest FG of his career in this quarter. #ut

Texas has almost double the yardage of KU at the half, 268-136, even though KU ran 8 more plays than Texas. Most of it on passing.

McCoy is 18-of-22 in the first half, Reesing is 15-26. McCoy has the only turnover on a fumble.

????????????????????#40?????????????…

Et le but des Red Wings…compte par le #40… Henrik Zetterberg! Go Wings Go! #fb

I ask you, can Tim Tebow punt? (big wink) Colt McCoy is displaying all his skills tonight. #ut

Shipley needs another 15 yards to break school, single-season record for yardage. He’s now second behind Roy Williams. #ut

Texas defense struggling for the first time in a long time tonight. Missed tackles, no pressure from front 4. #UT

Sharp scores a 2-yard touchdown. That’s the fourth rushing TD allowed by #ut defense this season, but second game in row.

This score is good for McCoy. Keep him in. Keep him throwing. #ut #hookem

@kbohls Kansas not rolling over for #ut. Is this a vote for Mangino? #40

So much for that Kansas momentum. Colt McCoy play action, deep post to Malcolm Williams for a 68 yard touchdown. All very nonchalant. #UT

We’ve still got a football game on our hands here, folks….oh, wait, Malcolm Williams just scored. Never mind. #ut

That was a quick answer to the KU score. McCoy hits Williams for a 68-yard touchdown. Texas is up 34-13. McCoy now has 318 for game. #ut

It’s just that easy…UT can do what ever it wants whenever it wants…they are just that good — 68 yrds to M. Williams makes it 34-13

Just slight threat of Tre Newton and a running game froze the safety and opened up that 68 yard touchdown pass. #UT #40

Great pass and run by KU goes for naught as Ut defense bows its neck and forces 50-yrd FG attempt that’s wide left.

McCoy is giving Longhorn fans a show for his last game at Memorial Stadium. I haven’t seen him run this tough in awhile. #ut

Gritches? #UT

ABC announcers talking like #UT stunk it up 3rd quarter. The Horns had about 130 yards on 3 series in quarter, and drive is still going.

Texas stalls after moving to the KU 18…three no-gain plays lead to Lawrence’s third FG of the game and a 37-13 Texas advantage.

If Ut wins — and it seems that they will — it will play Nebraska in the Big 12 championship game in Arlington Dec. 5. Get your tix now

Texas A&M defense licking their chops? The same defense that gave up 60+ to KState and 65 last week to a bruised OU offense? #UT

Earl Thomas, with his 7th interception, tied the school, single-season record for picks. #ut

Earl Thomas with the interception and Keenan Robinson levels 1 or 2 guys on the return. #UT CB Aaron Williams down injured. No bueno.

Aaron Williams is down. Colt McCoy is out on the field, kneeling beside him. #ut

Williams putting zero weight on right leg as he is helped off the field. S***. #UT

Earl Thomas gets a pick, but Aaron Williams shaken up on the play…now helped off by trainers, favoring right ankle. #ut

For the most part, I’ve really liked the offensive play calling by Greg Davis tonight. Even more impressive with OLine struggles. #UT

??????????? ????????????#40 http://bit.ly/3G9V4q ?

McCoy hits Kirkendoll for another TD #ut

#UT beating KU by 30 but ABC doesn’t notice. Busy talking about how poorly they’re playing tonight & what will happen in #BCS if they lose.

Texas fans — think it’s safe to buy tickets to the Big 12 championship game. Longhorns go up 44-13 with 11:43 to play. #ut

McCoy to Kirkendoll adds to TX lead a handful of plays after Thomas INT. A. Williams hurt right knee blocking for Thomas’s INT return…

It doesn;t look good…might be the injury that comes back to hurt the Horns as Williams is UT’s second best Defensive back.

Really awful effort on kickoff tackle attempt by Earl Thomas. Touchdown by Kansas. #UT

Briscoe brutalized the #ut kickoff team for a 98-yard return. It’s 44-20. This is the second-most points Longhorns have allowed in 09.

Briscoe returns kickoff 98 yards to give KU a little something to brag about. That’s a part of the UT game that always need help.

FYI — Shipley is six yards away from school record for most receiving yards in season. Betting both McCoy and Shipley will be back in.

terrific catch by Shipley for the record. #ut

This #BCS talk is making me nauseous. I don’t know how ESPNs Brad Edwards sleeps at night profiting on such an unholy career. #UT

Texas only up 24 with full quarter to go, so now ABC gritching that Garrett Gilbert should be in there. Really odd slant by ABC tonight. #UT

RT @DavidHoustonVO: Shipley sets single-season receiving record, anncrs too busy with BCS babble to notice. #ut

Wow. Fantastic job by Tre Newton to tip toe in bounds for the score. #UT now up 51-20.

I’m guessing Colt and Jordan get one more play. Simple WR screen and then the 2 come off field together to ovation. #UT

Newton tiptoes down the sideline for a 19-yard Td that should effectively end McCoy’s career at DKR. McCoy threw for 396 yards tonight.

Shipley now has the best receiving season in UT histiry and all that stands between UT and Pasadena is the Ags and Nebraska. Next stop: ARL

Glad Earl Thomas didn’t take that to the house. Want one more play for McCoy and Shipley. #UT

Thank you for a great 4 years in Austin Colt! #ut #40

Texas puts in starters and then calls timeou to give McCoy his curtain call. #ut

Texas sends seniors out with the offense, calls timeout and brings them off the field together. Chills. #UT

“there went the winningest qb in fbs history” #colt #ut #hookem #40

Walkon senior QB Walker gets a snap. ABC announcers think it’s @sherrodharris

@suzhalliburton What happened to McGhee? Seems like he’s the forgotten man in the backfield. #ut #40

On sidelines. John chiles is in street clothes, wearing a boot on his right ankle. #ut

Texas is in big 12 title game. It’s official now. #ut

Mark Mangino tells Mack Brown to “win it all” #UT

RT @suzhalliburton: On sidelines. John chiles is in street clothes, wearing a boot on his right ankle. #ut

Congrats and thank you to the 2009 senior Texas Longhorns. Been a great run. 3 more to go for a title. #UT

Final Texas 51 Kansas 20. Bring on those POOOOOOOOR Aggies! #ut #40

Seniors are doing victory lap.
