lets do this
Texas!!!

Come on…2 TD’s anyway you want it and a shutdown defense.

ok what do yall think boys
let's win this motherfucker!
Dan BB Big 12 commisioner 469-524-1000 If you want to call and complain about the officiating during the 1st half.
and second half
Are we not caring for 2nd half calls?
yeah ill be leaving a note
haha please guys and gals

That PI call on Tech was a joke and led to a TD.

I think that the way our D has been playing we have a chance
it's our time
if the defense can't get a stop, there aren't enough possessions left in the game
well i feel good about those odds
Anybody got Brent Musberger's home address?
1200 bandwagon avenue
our O needs to step up here
if the defense can get a 3 and out and the offense can convert, we can take this
Can we have our extra hour now, please?
Honestly

I believe we can do this!!!!!!!!!

tech's offense will not score again

my money’s on the table…but then again, i’m legally drunk

i think the way the refs have been playing, we haven't had a chance since 5pm today.
these next 2 series will tell us everything we need to know about this team.
Watch OUT

I’m worried about a crabtree long ball

We need a turnover

let’s put the pressure on

I guess they missed that hands to face again
I figure we got at least 3 possesions left in this game

the d plants harrell in the ground all quarter and we reel off 21 points, nevermid

we have to get a turnover somehow
TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!
2 downs for 1 yard
mccoy's still only completing just over 50%
Dude the OL was his problem tonight.
The WRs also dropped several
yeah but its the placement of his completions
Harrell looks like a school boy bitch
let's bust his chops
not looks is
this is where you find out

how bad you really want it

oh i want it
always has always will
Time to show the Sand Aggies what a number one team looks like!
does anyone else think that techs offense looks like ours the past 8 weeks
need to hold them to a FG and posssibly get a TO on their next possession
All your money on one defensive player on this series

Who steps up and makes the play?

Aaron Williams will make SOMETHING happen.
Orakp....

oh.

Kindle

pressure…a williams pick

I have to say this.

i have been thinking all week, that if Tech pulls the upset. they have put their eggs into this one basket. I put money on it OU and OSU beat them.

moneys on Roy Williams
CAN"T GIVE THEM ANYTHING!!!
where is lamarr houston? Time to shine
somebody step up and make a f-ing play!
big play

let’s make it

hmmm, that was unfortunate
gotta have coverage.
is it beasley every time who gets picked on
Jesus Beasley...
I knew that was gonna be a pass.
Need a T.O. bad so bad
not one step back! Come back with your shield or on it.
Deon Beasley

WTF dude?

need a stop....come on, horns!
since when does tech

have anything resembling a balanced offense?

Muschamp

has balls

Four down territory
was that Muckleroy on the pressure?
Finally, we got the damn sack
let's do this
not 4 down anymore!!
FUCK miller down
jesus effing christ
not miller. not now. dang it.
we are going to lose our entire d-line
And the winner is

KINDLE

Thank You ThankYou
ha

what an idiot harell is for not getting rid of that. wow.

Miller

Geez, far more important than Rak

they're both important
Come on Raiders! Go for it!!! (not likely)
i dont think he is hurt that bad
i doooo NOOOOTTT GIVE a FUUUUUUUUCKKKKKKKKKKKK`

we’re coming back!!!!!!!!!! i dont care what any one thinks,……WE’RE COMING BACK…..I HAD MY TEARS COME DOWN ON ME IN HALF TIME…………I HAVE CONFIDENCE……MY BOY HAD MY BACK……..WE’RE COMING BACK

dude its just a game
damn, now roy

this game is kiling us

Miller has time to rest
bollocks, perhaps
leg whipped....hope he is ok....walking, at least
D-line is gassed

credit to the Tech line – and the refs for temporarily suspending holding rule

YES BABY

Let’s do this.

should've let that one go
good job D

good job ST

FUCK YEAH

let’s do this!

Tech hires their own refs....good idea
What was the call and on whom?
who did the personal foul?
WTF was the penalty?!
anyone smell payola?
ok, unbelievably we are still in it
They just said personal and didn't specify anyone.
MALCOLM WILLIAMS!!!
BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BY THE WAY…MALCOLM WILLIAMS…WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE

i wanna cry now
Live by the pass, die by the pass
This is sick!!!!
OH MY FUCKING GAWD
can we please change his number to 4
You may be on to something
Time will tell

Buckner may fight him for it.

this is true.

I think Buckner is going to be a sick receiver, but Malcolm is showing his play making abilities.

Fuck my apartment is going crazy.
GAME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
11mins; 3points BABY!
I just sprained my knee

jumping up and down.. I feel like Rak and miller

ya, I came down awkwardly on my roommates shoe...

I’M FUCKING PUMPED!

the question is..is it a she?
c'mon, c'mon, people wanna know
The deck is stacked against us but we are fightin!!!
I think

I heard you here Stateside

Yell it, soldier.

Don't worry, they're all watching the game too.
Haha. Let 'er rip. nt

AFN baby

errrrr

noise discipline

just to be the first to say it.

win or lose this game, malcolm is my boy.

3 more points and Brent is ours!
GIVE THEM NOTHING D!!!
but take from them...everything
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we now have a comeback in progress

McCoy will not give up. Miller will be back.

That was a Heisman throw right there.
Tech 29 UT 26 Zebras priceless
You mean worthless
not time to quit....KEEP FIGHTING, we can do it!
NOT ONE STEP BACK!
lets quiet this crowd
just gotta do it....

GIVE EM HELL GIVE EM HELL

Tucker is amazing!!!!!
TOUCHBACK FUCKING LOVE YOU TUCKER!
Tucker is a god nt whills

whills whills whills

whills

Damn

What a great catch

Roy Miller still out?
damn, big throw...keep fighting, D!!
Come on D

We need another stop

hands to the fucking face and holding
Give it to Tech

They’ve got good hands.

man. wow
thier band is good too.
especially when it's around our faces
I gotta go buy that referee a seeing-eye dog
We all need to complain about this officiating
Refs don't lose games

dropped balls do

F U HERB

 REGRET TAKIN A PIC W YOU……FUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOOOU

haha that sucks you took a picture with HERB!

its better than corso, but still

I gave up on this dude a long time ago. Punk.
it's in Lubbock

what do you expect?

2 years of whining by Leach is paying off

tackle. Do, or do not. there is no try.
This is where the 1st quarter is killing us

This is where they should be tired… not us.

watch the quick slant on 3 and short dammit
TURNOVER TIME
Not to mention injuries.
MORE WHACKING!!!! HIT HARD. HIT NOW!
Make the tackel
we need Miller so bad.
Gotta hold 'em here

c’mon Texas!

WR screen on first down

Shocker?

W ALL 4

I HAD IT (PIC))W ALL FOUR OF THEM……FUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK THEM ALL

This is the second string isn't it.
Half the D-Line is 2nd string.
we cannot stop Britton's speed.
We gotta get through the blocking on those WR screens. Tough. nt
They're in position

Just can’t get to him to make the tackle.

Really, they're screens like in basketball. with some holding, of course. nt
yards after contact...I don't like it...and now a wasted time out
that instant shift is pretty disorienting.
We are tiring

and they are still clicking

good. i need a beer.
oh thank god. Come on football gods give us the stop.
I want to see them earn it like men
Come on boys, please!

STOP THEM!

We need a dumb throw from Harrell bad
time for an interception
it's 10:20pm, and the tech O is still scoreless in the 2nd half, no matter what herbstreet says.
Tighten your chinstraps and get your people back, this is going to be a close one.
We have lost 3/5 of our star power.

Colt McCoy
Quan Cosby
Jordan Shipley
Brian Orakpo
Roy Miller

3 of them are hurt. Miller playing through. This affects your game alot.

yep cheating is what lost us Rak.
dead on, girl
did you not see that throw colt just made? gg.
melton was held
PRESSURE! COVERAGE! BOOM!
time for a boom! motherfucker!
our safeties need to step up.
time for the freshman safeties!
Just hold them to another FG attempt...
That's all you need.
free 5 yds...i'll take it!
do they have a single INT this year.
14...15 tonight
actually I think i might be thinking of Minnesota
They won't attempt a FG
wow a tech penalty?
holding again, no flag
Melton got tackled! wTf
that wasn't a hold it was WWF time!

How can they not call that tackle?

i can't believe they didn't call that one.
melton held

big surprise

How did

the official miss that fucking hold?

Can we get a fucking holding call already?
Harrell sure stays calm back there
Yet. Another. Hold.

As noted above. Incredible…

you want the number of the Big 12 commissioner.
how is it 33 is on the ground and there is still not a gd flag
Don't complain, Tech has the best refs money can buy!
trump. it's trump. that big haired wierdo.
oficiatin

fuckkkk the krew…..same one as OU

refs

making up for leach’s big press conference last year.

need a hold for 3 here....anything else might end it
i hate refffffffffffssssss

fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkk them all

get a turnover!!!
looking bleak

really need a stop here TD is insurmountable

I actually dressed as a blind ref for halloween last night

A big 12 ref to be exact

must get a turnover
wow....ha ha ha....could that be big??
Crabtree aint no TO...shut your mouth.
nice make up

you only owe us abut 12 calls now

Damn. I don't know about that.
I guess the UT check finally cleared to the refs we got 2 calls
we must hold now
i really dont get where all the complaining about the refs is from

Two of the hugest calls of the game have gone in UTs favor, one on 3rd and a mile

ohhhh bitz be biteburger, it's a texas tradition!
No Texas has been getting held all night. You guys took out Rak by tackling him.
Need to hit Harrel
Great D on that deflection.
I guess they are the ones that can't catch now
oh my. hit him in the hands. unbelievable
atta boy, earl! we need a pick!!!
beautiful play by thomas
noooo one isssss reading

no one is readong……….gooood goooood…….FUCKKKKKKKK TEXAS TECH,,,,,,,,,,,,I HATE MICKE LEEAAAAAAACH……..

WOW

What a play by Thomas

try Tech holding on every play and no calls for starters
I can hardly deal with this.
two more stops boys
haha

you got a phantom PI call on 3rd and 17 and then a phanton PI call on 1st and goal..lame to whine about refs when its not been one sided at all

BIIIIIG PAAAAAAAARRRTTTTYYYY
gallon drunk

one more time? does anyone get that one?

wow a few bad passes
He had the pick
Thomas nearly had it.
Oh Earl

Right in the numbers….

i bet he goes for it
come on, EARL!!!!
Earl has a near pick in each of the last 5 games.
T E X A S D E F E N S E L I KE A R O C K
too far....gotta try to kick it
im in bolivia

watching from the worst choppy internet tv feed i can think. this is hell.

I feel your pain
another block!!!
in fact

that latest call just kept horns in business. seriously, dont get it at all

Holding hasn't been called all game. Your OL has been tackling our DE.
Need a TD now boys.
The stage is set, mofos
It's good, but it's what you guys needed
If we lose, I'm moving to the moon
ok just need a 5 minute TD drive
West Texas shootout here folks. Grab your popcorn and buckle up!
Alright boys

You’re #1. You’ve got a drive to keep it.

Let’s go.

Heismann drive anyone?
I'd be in favor of that.
td here and now to escape with a win
all right. Their engineering department is scanning for our calls, please fake 'em out
Good God, plenty of time with a chance to win...
Malcolm Williams needs to get deep

He’s gotten deep 3 times wide open. 1 more is all we need.

This is where the offense earns redemption
YOUR TURN, OFFENSE!

GO WIN THIS THING!

Run The Ball!!!!
80 yrd td pass to malcolm williams anyone?
We WILL do this!!!!!!!!!!!
Win the Heisman and NC

right here, right now Colt

SPECIAL TEAMS, GO SPECIAL TEAMS
how champions are made

let’s get a touchdown, boys!!

Kickoff return by Ship?
GREAT JOB by the defense the half
Seriously.

This is… stress.

i want a critical penalty called against tech so leach will freak out
pop his haid like a big red raider baloon!
I think I need IV fluids
Watch the onsides
gametracker sucks

says it was a 65 yd PI call on Crabtree

we have a chance....all we could ask for. Let's take advantage of it
its not 'you guys' to me

i was born and raised in austin. just whining about refs is ridiculous when two calls have kept horns in this game

If I have a heart attack I'll press Hook 'Em
I'm glad he made the field goal

No overtime is a plus. I would rather have to score a TD for the win than settle for a FG and try to win it in overtime.

yes watch the onside
cmmon Colt

no need to rush here. 5+ minutes

me too pal, and the refs still suck
lol
  1. team’s fans whining about refs…laaaaaaaaaaaame.
my liver...

might need a soy latte in the morning..which i can bet my balls you will never find in lubbock.

this reminds of last season's Tech-OU game
In what way?

So different

weenies! kick it to us.
triple coverage again.
shorter route was open

have lots of time

bad start... settle down, offense.
just get a first down
defense has given up 3 points in second half

no bad, not bad at all

Foz went wrong way. nt
Easy, boys,

we have plenty of time.

can't help it.
Well,

No matter what happens at least we made a fight of it. This team is awesome.

Hit everything that moves, guys.

helluva throw & catch.
Gah.

Synaptic overload!

FFOOOOOZZZZZYYYYYY!
FoZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. nt
The Fozzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I'm calling craigslist hookers for fozzy immediately.

There you go Fozzy!

THAT IS WHY I LOVE FOSWHITT WHITTAKER
Keep working it guys!
Need to take all the time...

Slow drive guys

we need to eat the clock
Tech

getting tight!

now we're getting that Longhorn stampede!!!
WHOOOOOAAAAAA!!!!!

Let’s burn some clock!!!!!

Kirk and Musberger are just mike Leach's pirate ship
How 'bout our Defense. Give 'em a big hell yeah!
Kill more clock time
go go gadget ARM
Looks like we're doubling down on this drive

6 here

Kill more or score quickly. nt
Move those chains, man.
shhhh...

moment of silence for the offense plz. ;)

Come on guys.

Please.

Ow Ow Ow Your going home in a lubbock ambulance!
I still want to see Cody Johnson by the end of the night
Only if he is bull rushing into the e.z. for a touchdown.
yes that's what I want
Horns down on the 1st down check

Refs are clearly biased.

S T A M P E D E ! ! !

Red Raider defense rest injury

Finally were clicking.
Can we please take

another 3:15 to score the TD?

Thanks

How much?

Is too much time?

This game is madness.

THIS is football. nt
we expected madness, didn't we?
I want to score inside 1 minute
take it five yards at a time
You need to kill clock.

KILL CLOCK!!!

we need to score even more
PB,

I hate to say it, but you should apologize to Mad Dog, man

Our conditioning is the only reason we’re in this

I think we are going to score to fast.
you better

knock on wood.

gotta run it down as much as possible
Timeouts?

I think they only have one left? Maybe leave no more than 75 seconds.

I'd leave 60ish..
told you timeouts could play a factor
And the slingbox kicked out.

Well that’s…. unfortunate.

another head tackle by tech!
Yeah, they're head hunting. nt
We can't assume we'll get the TD...

scoring anytime is fine with me, and give it to Muschamp’s D

no choice. must touchdown
gogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogogo
Not a lot of options

Gotta take the TD anyway we get it. Put it on the defense.

another Raider defense rest injury
my wife says "GO BIG!!!!"
Get it in. nt
he hurt his widdie!
what a faker!!!!
Faker...what BS was that?
I'd say CJ on 3rd down...
no repeat of OSU RZ
yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
McGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
VOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNDDDDDREEEELLLLLLLLL. TD!
TD

but with 90 seconds left…

TD, Vondrell McGee!
Hold on to your butts, folks
I had chipolte...I don't know if thats possible...

HOOK ’EM HORNS!!!!!

too much time

here’s where Will earns it

oops. I peed. just a little.
90 seconds?

Tech has 1 TO, right?

But their kicker is crap right?

He has een money from inside 30.
I hope Vince is watching this nt
/me adjusts hat
there are tears streaming down my face...
Still too much time left.
I love the score

but I would be happier if it came about a minute later! I don’t know if this old heart will take this.

longest 89 secs of my life

Wow…blinking through tears…

now where did I leave that defibrillator?
D, STAND UP LIKE NEVER BEFORE

IT"S ON YOU!!!

come on, D!!!
Come on D

Biggest drive of the season, no?

i'm so scared. please muschamp please save us.
COME AND TAKE IT. NT
i need that big ass needle from pulp fiction
do NOT ADJUST YOUR HAT

nobody move an inch from where they were on that last drive. no matter how bad you have to piss.

like i said above I had chipolte... :(
DIE TECH DIE!!!!
ure not that different than a poster on TexAgs
Gotta be shitting me.
They need 50 yards for the FG
Someone please inform the ignorant

What’s nt?

Choke and throw the pick Harrell!
Do the refs have one more make up call for TExas
tackle and stay on them

get up slowly

That's the first time I've screamed out loud all night.
PASS INTERFERENCE!!! wtf
lol

still begging for calls…sheesh

And he stepped out at the 8 or so. nt
Was he out of bounds?
I am so fucking sick
No, he got it. nt
gideon should of had it
We'll get a short kick off. nt
Are Tech fans this stupid? lol
yes...and victorious.
gametracker behind

what happened? did they score?

crab scores from about 30…one sec left.

I don't want to blame Gideon, but he fucked up there...
pass was to the outside. that's on brown, sorry.
oh, yeah. the dropped INT. retracted.
penalize the crowd. again. and again. and again.
They scored with 1 sec.
Gideon, my boy

you really needed to bring that one down

i thought Curtis Brown was on coverage
the INT that went thru his hands :(
ahh ya true forgot about tht in the aftermath of the td
a couple plays before
That was 100% Blake Gideon's fault.
Ouch

That one hurt.

After all that has happened this game...

We should have won the game.

Earl misplayed it. He went to the wrong side.

CB did what he could; safety should clean that up.

I feel so bad for gideon.
MIRACLE TIME!
I'd hate to cover crabtree. I don't blame that poor kid for nothing.
went from a certain interception...

to a horrific TD. Just fucking brutal.

hes calling for fair catch
we gave them too much time to score
About a minute twenty-two too long
again. penalty again.
Poor sportsmanship

Run the fucking ball back for a TD

fair catch. field goal.
we're down by 6
Its alright guys they OSU coming up
This has to be a penalty on the fans on the kickoff from where they're standing doesn't it?
Fact of the matter is

If Tech gets through us and OSU, they deserve it.

Otherwise we’re in it.

They still have OU as well.
you may be right, but SHUT UP! say it tomorrow.
Dude this team has had one hell of a schedule. I commend them.
Kick from the 7.5?
I'll say it again.

With how bad that 1st half went, we were the team that should have won the game.

stay classy, lubbock.
We won't fall far for this. We came back. They got a hell of a play. nt
fuckk...good game. I feel ike shit but good game
where will we be ranked?

4th?

Good game but Harrell is a Douche!!!
Unbelievable Unbelievable Unbelievable Unbelievable Unbelievable
To be honest...

We still go to the Big XII championship game.

'to be honest'??

What do u mean?

we may not fall far, but i think we just fell out of the national championship.
On the contrary, we stay on top of 1-loss teams.
I beg to differ

Florida will have that distinction after they knock off the #2 team in the SEC Championship game.

Why?

Crazier shit has happened. The fact of the matter is, we have a ridicilous resume, and we have a chance to prove it in the Big 12 title game. We shall see.

we have a chance I mean LSU made it
Computers

For once, i think the computers will lvoe us.

that is true...we will still be loved by the computers
I actually agree

Unless the other unbeatens fall, I think we have to be out of the NC

Ouch

Man, so many ways we could’ve won that one

31 fucking missed holding calls later, tech wins
Agree!
lol jesus yall

seriously, ure just making a fool of ureselves.

two biggest calls of the game went Texass way

act with some class not to mention intelligence

phantom PI call on 1st and goal from the 10

No just b/c the the talking heads showed the wrong clip doesn't mean there was PI on the play

Your non holding call took Rak out of the game. You dumbass.

you go girls!
you keep "lol jesus yall"

i saw the game

While I agree that we did get the biggest calls...

The holds on their OL that were not called were remarkable, and that’s what the complaints are about. The big ones were called, and they weren’t called, but the pass that their OL got made a big impact on the game.

ouch

I meant to write the big PIs were called, but not all of the holds. Drink much?

I say we fall to #4 at the most.
that dude playing the bell will haunt my dreams
That's where Oklahoma fell to.
crabtree: i have to go pro, because i'm reasonably illiterate
TOP Tech 37, Texas 23. nt
thank god for OU and OSU in Tech's schedule
We'll see how good they are when they don't have the playbook and tap the com channels.
Hook'em Horns!

Porous o-line and fairly precise passing by TT, but there was no quit in Texas.

Horns up!

season over

we aren’t moving ahead of whatever south team wins out. Cotton bowl here we come.

TT will have to lose twice

OSU and OU left…

No way - I bet Tech loses to OSU and OU
2 Big XII in BCS

No way the Big XII doesn’t place two in the BCS bowls. We’ve got 4 or 5 teams in the top 10!

we have tie breakers over OSU and OU and...tech still plays them
Tech only has to win one

To keep us out of the BXII CG

tech will lose both mark my words
Not true.

If Tech loses to one, we still go to the Big XII CG if we are ahead in the BCS standings.

No they do not

It will be a 3 way tie and it goes to the coach’s poll

BCS Standings, not Coaches' poll.
Dude we can still make a BCS bowl.
Had fun hanging with you guys

despite the outcome. Two UT losses in the same day hurts me.

That non-interception replay will haunt me forever.
agreed

that was heartbreaking – I thought we had won the game.

OU...will smash that ass
ehhhh....

FUCK MICHAEL CRABTREE and to a lesser extrent blake gideon……he had victory go through his hands…..

and i hope tech enjoys this week cuz next 2 weeks are both losses.

and I hate ou...
Tech does not know what to do

they lose to osu next week by 2 touchdowns and then get blown out by oklahoma. texas doesn’t play like shit the first half, texas wins by 3 touchdowns. blake gideon what the hell, it never fails, you miss the int and they bend you over the next play.

sweet rebuilding year it has been
proud of our second half

other than that last 1:29

Im so proud of this team and so sick all at the same time
no doiubt. Many freshment had to stand tall. I can't imagin

covering that freak of nature crabtree. Hands like—can’t think of anything that wouldn’t be PC

this sucks, i second that poteet
I think UT still wins the conference and goes to a BCS Bowl
poll will be

alabama
penn st
tech
florida
ou
texas
usc
osu

OU shouldn't be ahead of us. nt
but the will be
Tech won't jump OU and Florida will be 3rd and OU 4th and 5th us
that doesnt make any sense

tech wont jump OU..yet ou will be 4th? what are u smoking

florida will jump OU but Tech won't they have no justifiable wins other than us to jump OU and Florida
season's not over.

no way they can justify putting us below ou, who’s #4 this week.
great game. great effort. came up just a little short.

We will go below OU...

Because they lost first, it’s a what have you done for me lately world in the polls.

I wish I could honestly say they beat Texas on a good day...
there is no way texas falls below ou

I feel horrible for Gideon

Fans need to show some class and back him up
I am

I’m not quite on tears (b/c I’m a man) but I feel so bad for this kid right now. (He’s only 18 for fuck’s sake)

He'll learn. It's a tough game. He's got a coaching dad that will comfort him. nt
True Freshman?

Come on, he’ll learn. If there was someone better than him, Muschamp would’ve play’d em.

still a lot left to be decided
tht at game was b/s
I'm sorry that we lost, but that is one of the best games I've ever watched.

Now we’re going to win the rest of our games in get in the 1 lost club!!

We win out and we still go to a BCS bowl game.
tt will lose to osu or o who
I definitely think we will win out and watch all the BCS madness unfold
live and die by freshmen?
if texas plays great.

this game is not close, tech had to play lights out to win. texas plays shitty and well we know how it ends. what hurts the most is we had so much going, i do not know what is going to happen in the next month, but there is a lot of craziness left

I feel like shit because Charbonnet went to my high school and I know his little brother...who downed the ball on the 1 on the first punt
blink

in ure last comment u said Tech wont jump OU..FLA will be 3rd OU 4th…so where does that put Tech..makes no sense at all

fuck ya i forgot about that...but they won't be third I think they might be 5th
I can't believe I forgot about Tech...they did just beat us :(
lol

ha..dont think so..theyll be #1, #2, or #3

no way in hell tech is 1st or 2nd
we talking BCS or in the AP or coaches
certainly not in the BCS...though quite possibly in AP or coaches, since those are BS polls anyway
ya man, we'll see when the rankings are released...just an opinion..but won't jump Florida..
While I agree

TT did just beat the best team in the country.

this is true...

but, the computers, I think, will show we didn’t bring our a-game and it ended on the last play of the game. Florida has been playing sick not to move up to 3rd after the Georgia win. Alabama will lose in the SEC Championship or to LSU…OU will get jumped by us if we make it to the Big XII Championship…Penn State still has to play Iowa and Michigan State, and we all know Tech’s schedule.

actually

i think we are relying on strength of schedule. some of the computers don’t take score into account at all. strictly win-loss. our strength of schedule will be way higher than tech’s though.

Not by much in the end really.
I honestly don't think 1 or 2

3 is where they should be, but wouldn’t be suprised to see them behind Florida -

Hate poll system

We need a playoff system.

But TT “should” be 3 on “faith” and have to prove their ranking over the next two weeks.

i feel like shit because the horns came out flat, got way behind, gave us hope, fought hard, got the lead with 1:30 left, had the game literally in our hands, and let it all slip away. so yeah.
right there with ya brutha...
no call on the road
Today's game was Texas vs. Football Gods

Texas battled and battled and battled some more
proud of our guys…..but it was so…..close….

Great game, gents

I thought you had us there at the end. Good luck the rest of the way.

Hook'em Horns!

Can’t wish you luck, but good game. Leach called a great game the first half and Harrell was pretty precise with almost all of his passes. Terrific WR’s and o & d-lines.

Malcolm Williams

4 receptions – 184 yards
Star is born.

he was incredible

too bad it happened in a game we lost

The point is, that's a kid who came to play!
I guarantee Tech will lose both games to OU & OSU
i know they will to.

they have never been here before and put everything they had into this game

no breakks nonite!
fo realz

2 bad snaps for tech=incompletion

so many damn plays gone wrong

so many dropped ball

Sorry we couldn't send you out with a win

God bless, and give ’em hell.

thanks guys appreciate it

yeah it sucks, if it were easy texas would have a hell of a lot more national championships. season isn’t over and we have to root for osu and ou

give 'em hell HornsRiverine
anyne one piseeed at at muschamp for the last paly?
I wish he wouldve called a time out
+ a million.

I was wondering why in the hell we never called one at any point on that drive to catch our breath.

for having double coverage on crabtree? not so much. superior talent & poor execution, nothing more.
A lot of poor execution

On more plays than just the last one.

Anyone have issues with the final kickoff? Instead of catching it and putting it on the offense….where was is like 30 yards or so.

a little

there’s no way crabtree should be a factor in that situation…even if you have to clothesline the bastard, he doesn’t make a play in that situation.

Look at the big picture

I think we held them to as few points as we could’ve expected. Difference was the offense screwing around for the better part of 3 quarters

i didnt see double coverage on crabtree on that last play

if it was 12 was WAAAAAYYYYY late. and wtf not destroying crabtree to knock him out of bounds? if THAT was his man??

Keep in mind...

This one stings. I think losing Tech is worse than losing to anyone except aggy, however, and I know things changed Oct. 11th, but we still came into this year thinking this would be a building block to 09, and as Possessed mentioned, we did grow this game, as much as it hurts. Malcolm Williams became a man. Gideon will probably play with more dedication than ever, so will the young WRs who dropped ball after ball, Colt fought and fought, and the whole team played as bad as could be expected, and still almost came out on top. This could be like the OU game in 04. Fight, and just come up short only to springboard to a BCS Bowl and an MNC the next year.

I’m not giving up on this year. Just trying to keep things in perspective. If before the year someone said we’d be 8-1 after the Tech game I think we’d all have jumped on that.

Great game. Lots to go. Hook ’em.

we are playing with so many freshman

We still can make it to the National Championship Game.
Alabama has such a hard schedule ahead.
Tech is just starting where we were 4 weeks ago.

TOP - time ome of possessision filled us
ok so let's see

if tech loses to osu and tech beats ou we’d probably be the highest ranked team..
if tech loses to ou ou wins big 12 south via being highest ranked team.
if tech loses both, which they will, texas win big 12 south via tiebreaker with ou and osu.

if i’m right, pretty good situation if you ask me.

if tech loses to ou why ou wins big 12 south?

won’t there be 3 way tie?

BCS ranking breaks 3 way tie.
i wonder how politics will play in hand

if OU wins, then they are going to want osu to lose to tech

we need both of those teams to beat tech

I wonder what will drive osu players?

no

Combined head-to-head record among teams.
Records of the tied teams within the division.
Head-to-head competition versus the team within the division with the best overall (divisional or conference) record, and proceeding through the division.

In this case

If tech only loses to winner of OU/OK st, then it goes to BCS rankings.
If tech only loses to loser of OU/OSU then tech goes.
If tech loses both, UT goes.

3 way tie but ou will be the highest ranked team

i believe thats how it works

Don't forget

OU still has to play OSU

TT needs to lose 2

So TT won’t have the tiebreaker over Texas. Texas runs the rest of the schedule and has the tiebreaker over OU and OSU.

Plays in Big XII Championship over Missouri? Should be enough to get in NC. PSU’s got a weak schedule except for OSU.

I'd rather Tech

take the South Than have OU somehow weasel in.

Stay positive – yes this loss hurts – but the team needs to focus on the next 3 games and take care of business and see what happens. Yes, Gideon dropped a sure INT – no one feels worse than him. But, Colt should not have stepped out of bounds with 2+ minutes left could have burned some more clock. If we hold up Crab and knock him out game is over. Hey they did not quit. Hook ’em!

I disagree on colt stepping out of bounds

u are saying he shouldnt have stepped out and take a hit from the defenders?

Slide
agreed.

i wondered why he didnt drop down in bounds then…we didnt need the time and that was obvious then and clear as day now… :-(

he should have slid? not sure if that stops the clock though...

if we’re talking about the late run with about 2.5 minutes left….

Yeah...

Slide inbounds clock runs. They also snapped the ball with about 25 secs on the playclock a couple times too. Poor clock management.

I think the clock started even though he went out...

I just happened to see the clock on the ABC screen thing. There was just over two min. left.

New rule

When a player runs out of bound with over 2:00 the clock stops until the ball is reset then it starts up. I would have run an extra 10-15 seconds.

Agree we should have run at least 7...

seconds more (Wasn’t there 6 on the clock before that play?)

Much bigger deal

was not running more clock on the goal to go plays. Shoudl have snapped the ball with no more than 3 seconds on play clock

so u expected mcgee to fall down if he were about to score?

I dont think that is not something we can control

No - you misunderstand

I’m talking about running clock before you snap. We snapped ball with about 15-20 seconds on clock both times, if you run 20 more seconds on those plays, it makes a difference

i see I didnt catch that
does anyone know how a tie breaker works out

if ou or osu beat tech, but one loses and lets say whoever beats tech ends up with one loss, how do they figure that one out

BCS ranking

for any 3 way tie.

thats not correct

just looked it up:

Combined head-to-head record among teams.
Records of the tied teams within the division.
Head-to-head competition versus the team within the division with the best overall (divisional or conference) record, and proceeding through the division.

In this case it's true

Because all 3 teams (be it us, Tech and OU or OSU) will have identical conference and division records, the BCS ranking will be key. Assuming Tech loses at least one, they’ll probably be hurt the most in the BCS rankings. Logic dictates that our insane schedule plus 6 point road loss and head to head against OU and OSU will keep us far enough ahead to warrant the higher ranking.

Great game Texas. You all have a great team and you came back like champs. I am glad to be from Texas. I’m glad we won, but you all have a great team.

Peace

Well done tonight.

Great game, poor outcome.

if crab had been knocked out of bounds, they still had time to kick an easy FG to win the game
Hey no one thought Texas would make it through this Schedule unscathed. I'm so proud of this team 8-1 isn't bad.
Sorry guys for jinxing the game...

I thought Gideon had that INT and prematurely celebrated…

so did i

damn, my head hit the ceiling

damn you two.

I stayed quiet.

I just went face down on floor when he dropped it
true< but rather have it on that kickers foot than harrell to crabtree ftw!!!

besides a bad snap, a block, or flat out miss is more likely than the touchdown we just saw!!!!

I feel sick
losing cosby hurts...losing RAK hurts....losing the game made it strike 3 for me...
Oh well guys time to regroup and play the rest of the schedule. Finish out the season strong.
Agreed. At the beginning of the season, If you'd have told me we'd be 8-1 after 9 games, I'd have been ecstatic.
Absolutely

long way to go – all kinds of crazy shit is going to happen before the end of the year

absolutely heart breaking.

to come back and play so well, and drop the game, this team has a TON of fight in it, even tired, bruised banged up we fought our asses back into this game. Hell Of a finish. wish we could have pulled it out but the season is not over yet and the title game is not out of reach! WE’RE TEXAS!

We got beat up tonight. Hope that isn't too bad.

Hope Rak and Miller aren’t bad.

Questions to answer.....

1. Can we rebound from a heart-breaking loss?
2. Can Gideon bounce back and put it behind him?
3. Will OSU have enough motivation to beat tech, if tech loses to OU?
4. Can our OL start playing fo real from the beginning of the game?

1,2,4

Helps to play Baylor next.

Baylor

They’re a lot better than they’ve been in a long time. They’ll be the first team we’ve played with a mobile QB. I just hope our fans are supportive and aware enough to show up early and show the team we still believe. Crowd will be important next week in helping them bounce back.

True

I don’t disagree with that, but Baylor’s not OU, OSU, or TT. I think this team gets back to work. Everybody is going to be ragging on the O-line all week, so they should be up. We win this game if they were in it.

Answers

1. I don’t think Muschamp lets the guys dwell on this.
2. See #1. I don’t think there’s a better DC/Head Coach combo to handle that situation.
3. OSU is tailor made to beat Tech: Strong run game to work the clock, and I think OU outscores them.
4. We’ll see.

tech plays OSU next so pt 3 makes no sense
oh didnt realize

Afraid to turn on ESPN......

god i hate this feeling

fuck espn

they’ll be re-airing the hot dog eating contest soon. they don’t matter

Not afraid

Afraid’s the wrong word…I just hate to listen to them blather on about the same 5 things all night.

i'm already hungover

i can’t believe this happened, but i think we’ll be alright.

God I hated our first play of the game....that pretty much ruined things for 3 quarters

so i haven’t followed the thread, but i’m sure it’s been mentioned….

colt mccoy runs out of bounds on the 2nd to last play of the last drive. stops clock. as soon as he did that i was furious. anyone else see that coming? that they didn’t eat up more clock..

it wasn’t going to take texas 2 minutes to gain 4 yards to the end zone…

Actually

Since there were more than two min left the clock started again when they set the ball. New clock rules

the clock only stops...

if a player goes out of bounds with less than 2 minutes left to play

oh my bad you are correct
I am sure tech let us score

didnt put up much fight when mcgee ran the ball…I really dont think you can blame colt for stepping out of bounds
defense was playing pretty well—bending but not breaking

still outside of two minutes

So clock started back up when ball and chains were set. The bigger problem was not letting the clock run down before snapping the ball on first and second down.

clock would have stopped anyway for chain movement
tiebreaker

Someone asked about this above:

  1. If three or more teams are tied, steps 1 through 7 will be followed until a determination is made. If only two teams remain tied after any step, the winner of the game between the two tied teams shall be the representative.

 

   1. The records of the three teams will be compared against each other
   2. The records of the three teams will be compared within their division
   3. The records of the three teams will be compared against the next highest placed teams in their division in order of fi nish (4, 5 and 6)
   4. The records of the three teams will be compared against all common conference opponents;
   5. The highest ranked team in the fi rst Bowl Championship Series Poll following the completion of Big 12 regular season conference play shall be the representative
   6. The team with the best overall winning percentage [excluding exempted games] shall be the representative
   7. The representative will be chosen by draw.

In other words...

If there is a true three-way tie at 7-1, then it will come down to BCS ranking.

One exception

If Tech loses to loser of OU/OSU, then tech goes because they are 2-0 against the two teams they are tied with.

5

Interesting. We might have to get all the way down to number 5.

Not the First BCS poll...

the first one after the end of the Big 12 season.

How unfortunate

If Texas is ranked above OU, but they beat TT, I bet the polls push them over Texas….Stupid “what have you done for me 5 seconds ago system.” Nevermind that Texas lost at TT on the next to last second, and beat OU by a much larger margin.

Sucks bad...need both Okie schools to come through...

Damn I hate not only wanting one of them to win but both??? We just need to win out and get a BCS bid. If we get to the CCG great, I’d hate to play Mizzo again (really a home game for them, hear they have bought 60,000 tickets)

When discussing our defense

realize that tech only scored 3 offensive touchdowns – defense played well enough to win

Defense played magnificent.
Defense

Considering they were on the field almost the entire first half and most of the game, and they had key injuries, I thought they played phenomenal. This one is on the offense. They gave Tech 9 points. I don’t necessarily blame GD, but the offense didn’t hold up their end of the bargain.

Offense

appeared badly outcoached in 1st half.

True, but the two safety mistakes, three really, hurt in the end.

Two missed interceptions, Gideon (with replay), the other hit Thomas in the chest. Then on the game winning play, Thomas goes to the upside part of the field when he had no play on ball. His responsibility is to stay between receiver and goal. If he does that, he could have knocked Crabtree down or out of bounds.

But...

Curtis Brown had underneath responsibility with safety help over the top from the inside, but instead, he overran the play to the inside. He’s supposed to be guarding against the sideline.

disagree

If crabtree catches it there at the 5, thats the game, chip in field goal

you have to make a play on that ball

Yes, he should known better and clock would have run after chains being set, could haveburned abother 35+ seconds and none of this would be happening. ugh

Football gods....

they didnt let us win tonight:

-Did you ever see Cosby or Shipley drop a pass this season?
-0 holding on tech offense today….SHOCKING!!
-Colt overthrowing out route?
-Craptree selling his injury to his ankle after EVERY play
-took RAK away from us….
-Gideon…

WOW

that was one of the best games i have ever seen by tech. shitty first half by us, and give credit to tech, they came back to beat us.
But lets not forget, our boys, who fought and fought and fought and refused to go away no matter what. I love watchin them horns play. Hook’Em!
BTW, lets be classy and show blake gideon some support, he is only a freshman and is a good kid.

agreed i felt bad for him....
there was no excuse for not running the play clock and calling time out before tech's last offensive play

meanwhile mack brown thinks he’s smart for asking the ref’s whether a fair catch will move the clock or not…fucking idiot

i am pretty sure Gideon's dropped INT took air out of the team...

the D looked pretty lost after that play…

so our best case scenario has to happen with tech's next game....sigh
Tech played a great game

and drew us at the best possible time. I thought it was impossible to get through this stretch unscathed, and we didn’t. I’m proud of the effort and ready to get after the rest of the schedule. Really, really sucks though.

I agree

I just wish our loss would have been to Mizzou or Ok. St. Just not Tech.

i wonder if the rankings will consider that we played the hardest f-ing schedule i've seen in years and just barely lost
On Gideon

He absolutely had the victory drop through his hands, but there were a lot of other missed plays that put us in the precarious position we were in. He’s a helluva player and I’m happy to have him.

man

if you told me we would get through this 4 game schedule 3-1 i would have been pumped. but now its just a disappointment, for the fans and the team.
Now we are going to see what this team is made of, lets hope it doesn’t de-rail the rest of the season. MNC down the shitter, Big 12 champ game in REAL jeopardy, and a good portion of our impact players hurt. We will see what we are made of.

I think we've seen what they are made of

And it’s something to be proud of.

wait i dont understand

why is MNC down the shitter?
after watching tech tonight…do you think they can beat osu or ou?

they beat us.

and its not just tech who can jump us for the mnc, florida prolly will, OU is going to be higher in the polls despite us beating them (we lost late), and I don’t see penn state losing.

We need Florida to lose again. Or Tech, PSU, and Bama to all lose. Tech probably twice.
after that awful first half

do you really want to go to orlando and play a team like florida? all be honest, florida scares the hell out of me.

i really dont get the TEch has no chance against OSU talk

Hello, they just beat us, the #1 team in the country. They have the Pokes at home. They have a great shot at winning that game. OU on road will be tall order, but it kinda diminshes what you think of our team if you think Tech is going to have ‘no chance’ at beating OU or OSU. WTF. Makes no sense

here is why

we had pretty much all kinds of shit going against us and still couldnt pull it out…I highly doubt the same “luck” will apply to tech for the rest of the season

Anybody else notice the refs?

they killed our halftime drives and refused to call holding and a bunch of other shit. drove me insaine.

this game did not come down to one play--unfortunate, but can't let one kid even feel like he should take the fall
yeah

put it this way, gideon could have WON the game for us, but the team lost the game for us

or tech just came out and wanted it more than we did. whichever way you want to look at it. either way, there were a lot of missed opportunities for plays to be made. just sucks for gideon that his was the final missed opportunity, and therefore the most memorable.

curtis brown should have tackled crabtree. BUT, shoulda woulda coulda
well

unless curtis brown can take 5 seconds to tackle crabtree, we would have lost by 2 points at the hands of a field goal, most likely

I was the most upset with the clock management on our last drive. We could’ve easily run another 40 seconds off and only given them about 50 seconds. Huge difference.

that's what we get

for almost never having to manage the clock this season.

defense shouldve stepped up

they didnt…end of story

D was the reason the team had a chance to come back in the first place.

right

but that doesnt give them a free pass to come up big when it matters

Don't fault any particular member of the team

This is a TEAM, don’t single a portion of it out. They lost as a team and they’ll accept that. You should too.

I'm glad we won...but...

I’m just sick for that Gideon kid. He’s gonna need y’all to support him.

anyone else feel like kirk herbstriet was extra annoying today?
I just tune those goons out
All the commentators were

They must’ve placed a bet against Texas. I’m okay with Craig James…what can you say with his kid playing for TT.

Not sure why all the anti-Texas all week. Don’t know if all the commentators were rooting for JoePa to get one more before he retires.

I was just really upset with the no holds on the officiating.
get over it already

we got the two biggest calls int he game in our favor. game wouldnt even have come down to the wire if we didnt get the BS PI call on Craptree. Serously, thats lame. Refs had very little to do with the loss. Probably helped us in a way. The quesitonable PI call on 3rd and 17 led to a TD for us plus the camera confirmed blown PI call when they had 1st and goal from the 10.

Agreed

And on the last play, whoever was at the top of the screen had a choke-hold on our defender. (literally, a choke-hold)

But oh well, shit happens. That’s just the way it is and we’ve got to move past it.

i don't like to complain about officiating either,

but they could have called holding at least once. why stop doing it if it’s effective and they’re not calling it?

Are you insane?

How are you going to say that the refs helped us? Considering Tech’s OL were dryhumping the shit out of our DLINE, I think the whole " the refs helped us " line is complete bullshit.

waaaah

youre no better than tech and leach….pay closer attention

they didnt call holding on either team, dude

what they did call were questionable PI calls..both went our way. and one led to 7 UT points on a drive that was about to be a punt and the other kept them from scoring 7 when they had 1st and goal. take ure homer glasses off and be more objective. refs were no part, really. even if there was an egregious non holding call or two, the PI calls made up for it

i'll buy that
Please no...

Lay off the officials. They had no impact on the game. Don’t be like Leach and Tech last year when they complained about how the officials always want Texas to win. Don’t stoop to the level of Tech. We’re Texas. We’re better than that.

my only question is

was it a conscious decision by the Big XII to put their WORST officiating crew on the two biggest, most hyped games of the year (RRS and this one)? I mean, what happened happened, but this crew missed several calls in the RRS, and clearly missed a bunch more in this one.

maybe it's their "best" crew.

yikes

If..

Leach doesn’t complain like the vagina that he is, they wouldn’t have sucked his weiner all goddamn game and called holding. When they showed Roy Miller getting hurt, a Tech OL had Kindle in a bulldog nelson. It’s kind of weird that Texas can get pressure ALL year and then get TWO sacks this game.

And I agree..

We are better than that. We didn’t show up whatsoever in the first half and that killed us. Although we got back in it, I think if we show up and score at least ONE touchdown in the first half we obviously win.

theres a reason we only got two

Hes only been sacked 1 heading into this game!!!!

think harder

hahahah

ure not a very informed fan.

hey brother, go check how many sacks Tech has given up all year

i think

the officiating crew went into this with the mindset that they didn’t want to turn this into a whistlefest or have the game decided by penalties. Let the teams play, you know? I just think they took it a bit too far.

thats about right

and both defenses did some nice things, and both offenses had their moments. refs were no part of the game really

Uninformed?

By all means do I not want to argue with a fellow fan. I know they’ve given up 3 sacks all year. But you have to admit at some times it was a bit rediculous. Hell, I think I’m still pissed about losing.

i am too :)

not trying to be mean..but we can point to colts shitty pick, the missed int by giddeon, the decision to not squib it after our last TD…a MILLION things..just not refs…cmon.

leach did that last year

And we did nothing but call him a big fucking PANSY whiny bitch when he did that. all im saying. we’re texas

They just put the projected standings on ESPN..

ALABAMA
PENN STATE
TEXAS TECH
TEXAS
OKLAHOMA

Florida has to be 4 or 5.

TRUEE..

Lou Holtz just said something that made sense! He said Tech shouldn’t be ranked 1 or 2.

agreed

i dont see how a florida team that beats a #8 georgia team by 39 is ranked lower than an oklahoma team that whooped up on an unranked nebraska team.

Very true partner..

I think the missed Shipley catch in the first half could have gone a long way too. Haha I literally screamed and woke up my daughter when Gideon dropped that INT. I am not knocking him in ANY way. There’s still a lot of football left! I HATE GRAHAM HARRELL and MICHAEL CRAPTREE!!!

yeah

Shit, it’s just hard to own your competition like we have under Mack Brown year in and year out. Teams are gonna get you from time to time, esp on their home turf. This was a resilient comeback from a young team. Win out and it’ll be an amazing regular season.

Considering how much i personally hate the BCS, i’d prefer it if we have a couple of undefeated teams in the title game like we did in 05. If that means, Tech, so be it. You might ask, well why not root for chaos if you hate the BCS? Cus it aint going anywhere anytime soon, so might as well have a legit title game. REALLY REALLY REALLY dont want to see Florida sneak in there with 1 loss, and yall all agree that theyd get the nod over us dont u?

be hard to argue that

plus they’re really starting to look like a team I want no part of.

just saying.....

refs didn’t lose the game, i get that. the int for a touchdown was thrown after we add gained good yardage and a total bullshit holding penalty was called. W/out that penalty, colt doesn’t press. Not an excuse but it is a factor.

Damn… I’m sitting there trying my hardest not to throw a damn shoe at the windows it pains me to sit and watch Tech just throwing around all day like it’s nothing!
Just damn… I hope to god we beat the living HELL! Out of A&M maybe it will take some sting out of this one.

OU sucks...

But I have to admit I’m going to be rooting for

Ewwwww

I know…

Haha

Sorry about that partial post. I meant to say that OU STILL SUCKS, but I will be rooting for them when they play these bastards that just beat us.

Scenario for playing in the Big 12 Championship game?

Tech loses to both OU and Okie Light.

win out and tech loses twice works best

TECH

Getting the everliving shit kicked out of them the next two games. Nuff said.

I like Tech getting the shit beat out of them really. Sounds perfect!

..

Shit, it’s just hard to own your competition like we have under Mack Brown year in and year out. Teams are gonna get you from time to time, esp on their home turf. This was a resilient comeback from a young team. Win out and it’ll be an amazing regular season.

You might ask, well why not root for chaos if you hate the BCS? Cus it aint going anywhere anytime soon, so might as well have a legit title game. REALLY REALLY REALLY dont want to see Florida sneak in there with 1 loss, and yall all agree that theyd get the nod over us dont u?

THoughts?

I think….I hate Florida!

me fucking too

ugh…I think its safe to pencil in Penn State. And sadly I think Florida will wipe out Bama in the SEC title game. And since that will be the last thing on everybodys mind in the dick sucking slob fest SEC, theyll slide in..

But....

If there is MORE chaos, maybe they’ll try to get rid of it faster. The season isn’t over, Tech will get the shit beat out of them by BOTH OSU and OU.

nah

Tech will not get beat badly by OSU. Would wager every last red cent thats less than a 10 pt game if OSU wins in Lubbock

I know I know..

But it’s nice to hope. So what’s this whole thing that this is supposed to be a rebuilding year?

I agree. Florida is gonna be this year’s Georgia. The team everyone says is playing the best at the end of the year, and they’re probably right. We need Florida to lose again if there are any undefeateds. The question is do we get the nod over a one-loss Tech?

I agree Tech will get the shit beat out of them over OSU and OU they will be too excited about beating us they OSU beats the shit out of them!

disagree

SR. Quarterback. Harrell was a young punk pussy his first two years but hes different. Didnt see the antics out there from him. was focused. he wont get too ahead of himself and leach wont let him. techs legit, not sure why yall wont appreciate that

Its hard to break habits and patterns. I’m so used to Tech throwing for 500 yards a game, beating every I-AA team on their schedule, getting national love, then going 9-3 after losing to Texas, OU, and someone they should beat. So because that’s the history, its hard for me to change my mind after one game. If they beat OSU and OU then I’ll believe.

agreed

Thanks for this guys. I’m already feeling better. I now understand the thought behind group therapy.

All I know is I’m going to be an OSU and OU fan ( makes me sicker than losing ) the next two weeks. Haha, although I do move into my first house on Dec. 1st and what a house warming present would it be to watch the Big 12 Championship game from the new house.

I closed on my first house yesterday, but fortunately am not in yet so this was not my first experience.

BCS

You think if we win out we’ll go to a BCS game regardless of what happens with anyone else?

btw, im PBs bro..not that it matters, but if u were wondering bout my allegiance

Wondering about your allegiance?

i do think TX will be in BCS game if they win out

no title game though unless florida loses again…but fiesta bowl against Boise State perhaps

God, THERE'S a no-win situation
isn't top 4 automatic

assuming we don’t drop lower than that and stay there as long as we win out regardless of what happens to anyone else

yea think ure right and winning out would get us there for sure

You don’t think that they’ll take into consideration that Florida lost to OLE MISS? I don’t care what bowl it is, I know some Florida fans and they think their shit doesn’t stink. Not to mention that they don’t think too highly of Texas. I want to play Florida.

Honestly..

I don’t know. I thought we had a good chance in 06 when we lost to shit ass Kansas State and Texas GAY&M. I think that if we get to the Big 12 Champ. Game and we whoop ass there, then yeah maybe we go. I want FLORIDA!

even with big 12 champ win

problem is, theres no resistance to PSU. They could trip up, but i just dont see.

take nothing for granted
checking to see who psu has left

I want Florida too! Imagine Tebow gets hurt and bam we end up playing Brantley! He would love meeting Sergio Kindle. I just PSU does lose! Overrated to me!

Iowa, Indiana, Mich St.
PSU's remaining sched
:/

Go Spartans??

i suppose

don’t know that it’ll do much good

Potential loss

to MSU. Like I said, it’s nice to hope. I feel better already.

Possibly Michigan State?
Is it in Happy Valley?

what about FLA

who they got

FSU, Vandy coming off a bye
bama in the SEC champ game
if no big XII goes to MNC

what happens then? does the big XII throw a fit? would that be enough of a push to get a playoff system in place?

not necessarily

because of the perma boner the media has for the SEC.

1 loss FLA in SEC

Is plenty justifiable to the media over any 1 loss Big 12 team..I think wed all disagree, CERTAINYL this year, but ya know, its not egregious enough to raise a fit

Vandy, S. Carolina, Citadel, Fla. St

Florida

Also has SEC champ. game.

Against Bama right? or they don’t lose

wheres that South Carolina game..sorry, dont have sched up

Idk, they way Florida has been playing I don’t think they lose again. I think Alabama has been a little lucky asides from the Georgia game.

yea bama im not sold on yet

kudos to them, but FLA seems to have a full head of steam this past couple of weeks

Most likely scenario

PSU wins out.
Florida loses to SC, FSU, or Vandy.
Florida beats Bama in SEC champ.
Tech loses to OSU and OU.
We beat Mizzou again, and play Penn St.

So if someone can beat Florida, I think we might be in good shape.

unfortunately

i think even if we win out and beat mizzou in big XII champ, florida beating bama in SEC champ would get the nod to play PSU (if undefeated) in national championship.

so i think we will play florida or bama in MNC if we get to go.
Scenario A
PSU loses to michigan state or iowa
bama loses to florida in SEC championship
we win out and beat mizzou in big XII championship
media does not kiss USC’s ass
MNC: texas v. florida

Scenario B
PSU loses to michigan state or iowa
bama beats florida in SEC championship
we win out and beat mizzou in big XII championship
media does not kiss USC’s ass
MNC: texas v. bama

I'm liking both..

And I hope you’re right and this is how it plays out. While it would be nice to see Texas in the MNC, I just want them in a BCS game. Is the Cotton Bowl part of the BCS now? I noticed on XBOX live that it’s part of the BCS Bowl Bash. Am I crazy?

incidentally, this is all very therapeutic
LOL!!

TELL me about it! I didn’t know how I would react to a loss, but man this sure helps. I haven’t moved from this damn chair since Gideon dropped that damn INT!

putting off being alone with my thoughts
HAHA AGAIN!

Dude I do NOT want to go to bed tonight. My stomach hurts pretty bad still. ( Drank 3 beers at half and believe me, I am not a drinker )

Me too.

This helps a lot. I feel better, and also now understand why people go to group therapy.

Florida

Get SC at home in the Swamp. : (

Damn it! Screw the Swamp! Ole Miss can do it! SC can too!

Haha, I think the Ol’ Ball coach can it done. ( Or I hope! )

OSU vs. OU

What would REALLY be nice is if the Pokes could beat OU. Then, even in the event of a 3 way tie, I think we could sneak in to the tile game. But I honestly dont see Tech losing to OSU. Def in Norman. But if the Pokes followed that up with a win over the Sooners, perhaps their BCS ranking would be lower than ours, and I wouldnt be surprised if OU wins by 14+ over Tech, which could bump them back into the 7-11 range in the BCS behind us.

Again, I think OSU has the perfect kind of team to beat Tech. They run the ball so well and can control the clock, keeping Harrell on the sidelines. I think they can do it.

err

actally nevermind..that doesnt make any sense, cus that would just leave two 1 loss teams – us and tech

GODDDD

 I hate Mike Leach. He reminds me of a big fuckin bird. Douchebag.

why?

I’ve always liked Mike Leach

haha

I guess I defnded my allegiance because I just dont feel the same hate for Tech as I do for OU or the faggies. I mean, moribound program in no mans land. wins 8 games a year, builds up to this one year, and they deliver. props to them, and just one more reason that the state of texas is the sickest fucking state in the country in terms of football

little consolation

Just goes to show again how hard it is for a team like Texas. You’re everybody’s game of the century, and its hard to get up that much week to week.

furthermore

as much as id love to sneak in the backdoor for a title chance, i loved how we ran the table for our last title, and id hope we do the same for our next. if tech can run the table and win a title at texas freakin tech, thatd be impressive. as soon as they lose, im giddy over our scenarios but for now, theyre in the driver seat and i tip my cap

I can see Tech losing next week to OSU. Tech has never pulled this off before they just beat an in state rival who was number one in Lubbock. They will be partying hard until Friday morning and realize shit! We have to play OSU!

its possible

but theres folks around the country who said the same about us when we dusted OU and had to face Mizzou, ahem, including phil steele and a bunc hof the other ‘experts’

OSU is also a physical team

We didn’t bring the wood so much tonight. I expect the Pokes to put a physical pounding on Tech

see, this is what drives me crazy

both herbstreit and corso gave their top fives and neither had texas in it. Nor do they even discuss us, but Oklahoma is at four for Corso and USC is at 5 for Herbstreit.

And that will all change again next week when they fall in love with the next team of the week.
Body of work means NOTHING.
i know

it’s just frustrating. i mean, shit, we just play 4 top 11 teams in a row and lose on the last play to a team they both had at #3, but all of a sudden we’re forgotten.

I hate college football

And that's why we all love college football :)
anybodu wonder what PB is up to???

anybody bothered to see if theres a recap of any sort?

working on a post-game screenplay
I've checked. Nothing.
Their polls don't count
i understand that

i just don’t want their opinions to reflect the views of actual voters, but i’m afraid they do for the most part.

I'm surprised you could subject yourself to those idiots at this point
TV went off right after the game...

Been here reading the group therapy thread…PB might be in liquid therapy. I can only watch after a win.

i'm with you
im a touch worried about him

he is my brother after all. i talked to him earlier. know how bad he wanted this one and how close it was. makes it really hard to write about a game like this (i write for steelers for sbn and i had to deal with heart break hotel this past week when they melted down against sb champ giants late). on one hand, plenty to bitch about, on other hand, gritty tough effort from fairly young team. sux for him especially because its tough to take a stance here. but im sure he’ll do well

osu vs tech

I dont necessarily disagree with yall. Id be very relucatnt to wager on tech there. BUT, I dont see anyway that that games not very close.

And I think you're right.
damn just realized ive drinken 7 beers since the craptree TD
drinken?? nice michael
Welp

it’s off to bed. Later.

later duder, congrats on the house
Gonna be a long night
PB just put up a post game thread....

…but I’m out. Thanks for the therapy session. I feel better. Time to get ready to beat Baylor.

Hook ’em!

BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF BAYLOR!
