DeCastro was 4 stars.

Ehh...depends on the recruiting service you look at I guess.  Rivals/ESPN had him as a 3-star; Scout gave 4-stars.  2 vs. 1, so I went with 3 stars.  Either way, he's not like the boatload of undisputed 4-5 star prospects that go to Texas.  The day we get a consensus 5-star prospect like Clowney or Barkley...

I will hope kal wins, and will have great sense of conference pride if lowly kal beats mighty Texas.  And yet, if kal does happen to play poorly I will laugh the entire time.

haha, this seems like the right mentality to take-we can't lose either way.  The question is which perspective do you lean towards?  Personally, I lean towards Kal winning just because it provides the more tangible benefits that unclechuck outlined, especially the speedos  ;).  Kal losing primarily serves our own self-interest in enjoying Kal's failures, but I'd argue it does not help the conference in the long run.

But then again, Kal winning may delude recruits into thinking that Kal is close to returning to relevance.  hmmmm.....
