Kansas Beat Texas For The First Time Since FDR Was Still President

Another wild college football Saturday reached its bonkers apex before the evening games had really gotten going, as Kansas somehow pulled off a miraculous come-from-behind victory over Texas and defeated the Longhorns by a final score of 24-21. This is the sort of football upset that only happens once a generation (or two).

Texas coach Charlie Strong’s job was already in jeopardy heading into this game, but now his butt is about to experience a climate change, as the hot seat just got a whole hell of a lot hotter. How you feeling about that, Chuck?

Yeah, but —

Oh, okay.

Just how long had it been since the Jayhawks had scored a victory over the Longhorns? Nearly eighty years. That’s how long.

That means there were people who were in the prime of their life who vividly remembered the Cubs’ 1908 World Series victory when Kansas last defeated Texas. But wait: the Longhorns’ ability to blow this game was even more thunderously absurd and painful than you’re already thinking.

In a strange, baffling new world where Notre Dame is bad and Texas is dropping Ls to Kansas, CFB experts are beginning to question everything they thought they knew.

We’re through the looking glass here, people. The only thing that could out-nuts this is if Chattanooga manages to topple Alabama. (Oh please, oh please.)
