les' get it. half time t-swap done!
The picture almost makes the first half worth it...

…almost.

The caption makes it even better
why i'm confident

1. the defense will be out for blood in the second half.
2. CU’s defense will wear down.
3. Cody Hawkins is good for 2-3 major fuck-ups.
4. We’re at home.
5. We’re Texas.
6. I’m legally drunk.

Hook ’em!

getting my UT Snuggie right now

queso has been prepared by husband,
strong drink in hand.
on the floor doing the Longhorn Prayer.
Me no like. Make it better

I am hoping for only good news on this thread

Let’s leave the first half behind us

so do we want Florida or LSU

if we can get past this fucking game

Florida...

I dont want a number 1…its cursed

Yeah

That’s what I was thinking. But the LSU game is all defense.

We can't even beat Colorado in the first half...
If your not drunk after that performance, than there is no hope of you ever getting drunk..
Where's the blood?

That was eerily like ‘08 TTechish. Hopefully there will be some positive reinforcement ass kicking in the locker room and we’ll see Mr. Bevo Hyde in the 2nd half.

florida

LSU with its close and ugly wins reminds me of OSU’s championship year

If you guys missed it in the last thread...

and have ESPN 360, go to the 1:41:20 mark of the UNT/UL-LA game… Watch the LE. You won’t see a harder hit than that. Poor QB had no chance.

Yes, that was a nice hit

would like to see us do something like that in the second half.

That should make Sports Center
Florida's O-line is joy to watch

Those guys want to hit somebody. Hard.

You have to bring it each week

People need to quit posting that we will win 59-6 or whatever. amd saying that we will roll ou, from what I have seen we will be very fortunate if we can even pull this game out. Every game is its own unique entity and you can not extrapolate what school X did last week or the last 3 weeks, because they obviously wake adjustements, and we were very complacent tonight with not focusing on our opponent.

Get em horns!!

well said...

and the world wants to prove Lou Holtz wrong…he said CU will wish they were on the bus at halftime…

well, there's the problem
I am sure CU wishes it could be on the bus at halftime

Unfortunately they have to play both halfs.

We are making OU's performance against Baylor look good..
It is just preparation.............

Now we will be ready for OU

Mich 14-10 over Iowa at the start of the 2nd Q
Possible explanations for our shitty performance

1. Mack really likes Hawkins and would like to keep him around for a looong time
2. Big 12 wants to show the world that they are actually pretty decent conference this year and deserve a fat TV contract next yr
3. GD thinks our OL can successfully run block..or block

Would they

really throw a game to keep it tight just for TV contract?

he was obviously being facetious. nt
I wish

our defense would play like they are hungry. You guys see that 4th down stop by LSU?

How did our O-Line get so average?

Discuss amongst yourselves.

what is the fascination of getting cute inside the 10?

why cant we line up and f’ing run it in the end zone from inside the 10??? Like utep we mess around and leave points on the field. Just dumb, somebody step up and block!!

The problem is obvious.......

The team has been watching the Dallas Cowgirls play

Who's worried?

I’m not worried. not even close. we’ll take this easily after a slew of turnovers thanks to Cody.

OK let's make some noise!!
Can we just

win this fucking game.
And re-evaluate Greg Davis?

re-evaluate Davis?

he is who we thought he was

Re Evaluate davis...

he has been terrible for years but mack can’t let him go cause they are old friends. it’s a shame. remember Roy’s last year? 4 yard out passes and WR screens all year.

He is playing to win the heisman with good stats for colt. completions vs yards
TT 38-0 to start the 3rd

The UT-TT game will look a lot better at the end of the season

not particularly concerned about how TTU looks at the moment
remind me to never piss off jcbates
Really

I only get this way when we suck!!!!
And the first half, we sucked. A big fat one.

I am just

accustomed to being up by a shit load at this point except at National Championship games.

The "Leave Doubt" tour is going as planned..no cause for alarm...
TTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

I don't think

it’s our play calling, our O-Line just has no talent, can’t pound the ball, our tackles are getting beat on the edges. Just not a line to be proud of

20 rushing yards?

for real?

not surprised.

they got guys all over the line. colt has only thrown over 20 yards twice i think. no need to keep people back if that’s all the playcalling we’re gonna throw at them.

Tre Newtwon in the second half or Fozzie
please please put in Tre
Smash them

wear them out!

Diminishing Monroe's role also tonight..
and...

three and out…

Not what we were looking for.
Colt is 22-25

for 199

college football is nuts

we whup utep, they in turn whup uh, and now utep is losing to memphis, while uh goes and beats an sec team. fo figure.

lsu

is knocking on the door

it's never not exciting

When Tucker is back to punt. at least compared to most punters, anyways

He's done everything but kick the ball backward so far...

Iam sure that will be coming soon..

not exactly what i had envisioned
RRR is next week, right?

we’re probably looking ahead…

see boom's signal? Make em cry
I have only said BLITZ

about 50 times tonight.
I am a girl, never played a game of football ijn my life.
And I can fucking call the plays for this game better than Greg Davis.

CU

is going to make us run the ball, they’re playing tight coverage outside with 2 deep safeties

their safeties suck
damn, almost muck
Muck

is a monster

it wouldve been nice if he held on..dammit
Kindle was a beast that series
Were gonna wear out Shipley before the RRS at this rate..
Did you know he's Colt's roommate?
oy

that shoulda been an int

well, that was moving...
dont think so cj.. he lit it up all last year too.
Didn't have to do punts last year..
That was a missed horse collar on Ship.
yeah, i saw fmask myself
Looks like the D is waking up - now if we could have some aggressive offense
I think that has been the issue all year, we seem to start out tentative on offense

But play great once we stop thinking

I like Monroe on the kickoffs more that Shipley

Give the poor guy a rest!

Offense!!!

Keep in seven to block the blitz and send 3 deep on every play they are weak weak weak in the secondary.

Am I the only one that's really glad that Musburger isn't calling this game?
Where have DJ Monroe and Tre Newton gone?
Any chance we still cover the spread? nt
I bet it.

I don’t feel awesome about it

Yeah, Cody Hawkins could still be UT's MVP
I guess McGee is the "Hot" back..

That’s the way I heard they were going to rotate them..

Malcolm Williams sighting
why is vondrell still in the game?

the D NEVER has to account for him
ugh

they're dropping 7

every time

Third and short

I bet we run it

offensive line is FUCKING TERRIBLE
Calling the same running play 20 times

won’t help either.

Recruit

A REAL RUNNING BACK

Can't run when we are that predictable
DKR....wha? Boos? That's on GD.
is that the best we can do?

jeez

fucking chris hall
Jesus Christ

Lets run it on third and short and give them time to get in the backfield. Nice call douchebag!

that was the lines fault dude.
We haven't run the ball all season and we are going to now?
And we beat OU next week how?
by hiring someone to blow up their team bus
Yeah, I want to hear that too..Anybody?
I Formation anyone?
Please

I agree. If we are going to be predictable, at least be so from a formation that gives the backs a chance.

ding ding, this shotgun business on short yardage is insane
and we're going to move the ball against OU?
Don't blame

gd, the backs, BLAME THE O-LINE!!!

scheme has something to do with that too
I can't imagine that the scheme calls for letting the guy run right past you
exactly

I don’t understand CJ running that play on 3rd and 2, but seriously, Chris Hall must of thought he was a matador, because he ole’d that guy right through

but if you can pass it for 3 why not do it
Sorry if I missed this...

but is there an injury or other reason we have not seen Tre in the game?

I wish I knew. He was in for one play
been wondering the same thing...
He ran 9 times for maybe 30 yds against UTEP

It doesn’t matter who’s in there.

It may be the line's fault but we don't exactly have a stud at RB.

Yet somehow A&M can get first rate running backs to play there.

Blocking scheme.

They have one.

We have one too

its just a shitty scheme for this o-line.

I suppose if asking five guys with mismatched skill sets to play duck duck goose is a blocking scheme, then yes, UT does have one.
running backs are a dime a dozen

if your o-line can’t block for shit, you can put Deion back there and still have a bad ground game

3rd time tonight we got good coverage because of a penalty on the receiving team
We got him down early on that one ourselves
shitty play call by gd, line not blocking the mlb.. nothing on the rb on that 1.
why the fuck do they run? THROW FUCKING BALL

AND FIRE FUCKING GD – he is costing us another national championship

Drink another beer...it will help.
Christ

Haven’t had a sip yet….might need to soon if this dog poo keeps up.

Time for a stout. Hope it helps
There was five to block six

that’s the problem.

The buffs are slow why the hell are they running plays right at them. use the speed

agree

run a sweep

Well folks...we are in a dogfight with Colorado...
Stewart is slippery
Tackling helps, fellas.
Thank god for this defense.
I think CU

is doing a good job using our de’s against us by running off tackle. Getting enough yds to shorten this game

damn that looks damn good right now.
Salt Lick?

I can think of six BBQ places better than that

name them

Smoky Mo’s
Rudy’s
County Line
Opie’s
Bill Miller
my sister-in-law’s kitchen

did u just say rudys, bill miller, county line??

sir u should be shot in the balls

oh, and that place downtown at 3rd and San Antonio-ish

forget what it’s called, sort of upscale

than salt lick?

I’ve had better BBQ than salt lick in Virginia

thats bc they dont have brisket
no, it's because their food isn't good
wow i suggest u get ur taste buds checked out
most overrated restaurant in texas

seriously, it’s fucking bad food

how come no one agrees with you then?
because most of you haven't bothered looking for something better
like generic chains?
uniqueness != quality
i bet u like to dine at McDonalds and consider Oliver Garden 5 star
I bet you think that's actually an argument
pretty well thought out i must say
QED

(look it up)

Could not disagree more...
wow

ban this guy, please.

Rudy's? seriously?
This is the kind of close game I expected next week.
Haven't seen Earl make a play tonight

I guess that’s not ALL bad – could be good coverage. Usually he’s everywhere though

besides the face mask on the first series.
thanks for swinging karma our way
D

keeping us in this thing

special team bails us out all the time
That is what I am talking about!!!
SPECIAL TEAMS

HHHHHUUUUZZZZZZZZZAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

We needed that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bypass the offense

A winning strategy

Goooooooooooodwiiiiiiiiiin
Goodwin with the block!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
thank fuck for D and special teams!!
Taking a page

from beamer ball

now cody hands us another one

and the start will just be a bad memory.

Akina - good hit on Goodwin down
I had my post written

and just waiting for something good to happen before I hit “click”

Getting the playmakers on the field

Goodwin is a beast!

Glad he ran it in

Otherwise we would have 3 running plays from the 5

Yay!

We’re ahead!

Ok. I can breathe now..
I can't remember the last time Gideon did something good
Put the Bible in all those motel rooms nt
Please pull Gideon!
I feel bad for the kid but I hate Gideon
He's the weak link..No other way to put it.
I really like brewster
darell scott not doing anything againswt us.
Church tomorrow if necessary

I don’t care about the spread, I don’t care how many points I lose in the BONer football pool, Just let us win. Keep it alive.

D. Scott sighting

Back on sideline now.

Ben Alexander is a space eater!
I think Alexander has been the biggest surprise of this Defense.

He’s played very solid all season

Agreed.

We desperately needed him to step up too.

Cody = no arm strength
it tapped the ground.
I think he caught it
little bounce there with a slight trap...
type of play that usually sticks with what is called on the field
I hate Urban Meyer
but i love espn commercials with athletes...
Won't reverse cause it isn't indisputable evidence
I believe

Tre Newton, Fozzy Whittaker, Malcolm Williams and Monroe have 0 touches tonight. Someone needs to smack our coaches.

Fuck the Yankees
Gideon

can be the smartest player on the field but in the end talent wins. D’s should be attacking him b/c he can’t cover!!!

Apparently

talent doesn’t always win as he and McGee are still on the field.

damn. lsu intercepted
yeah

Florida’s D is taking control, Fla v. Alabama is going to be insane (barring injury)

Crap

This is coming back.

Shipley looking all pro today
it's nice that someone is
MASSIVE block at midfield, wasted
a block in the back - who would have guessed?
Do you think we will miss Shipley and mc Coy next year ?
finally M. Williams gets involved in the game
Kirk

needs to learn how to block

Eek

Atrocious block by Kirk.

god, this sucks
colt is on drugs again
You mean Shipley.
the kind that make him hit his WR in the hands?
not his fault
yea sorry just saw that
McCoy just has to shake it off
3 buffs

around, seriously colt, no one else open?

Shipley or bust..
If you

actually throw it longer than 3 yards, those aren’t as bad.

throw long - the interceptions don't hurt as much!
Our D is here now boys...
Take it back D!!!
somebody cover the goddamn tight end this time
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UH HUH !!!!!!!!!!!
EAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaRL

called it!

big play earl!

wow...

our D is AMAZING!!!

wait did that just happened to us?
Big play Earl Thomas
That's the ET we want to see!!
Thank God for our D
he had to wait about 4 seconds for the pass to get to him. lol
Not catching him
cody hawkins+ earl thomas

good for UT

I told you our D was here boys!!!
ET

phone home, errrr, I mean take it to the house.

Thank god for D and Special Teams
it's seriously time for everyone to forget about the damn heisman, though
I could care less (boomer) about the (boomer) effing heisman. I want a MNC this season
C'mon Colt are you serious
14 points

without the offenses help and really 7 because of the bad offense

colt needs to be cheering with the team

the d rides and dies with the o
the o needs to ride and die with the d

Anyone want to bet the D and SpecTeams outscore the offense?
did you see how fast he returned that thing?

little ET mancrush going right now.

Yeah, he left McKnight in the dust..
Who switched Mack Brown with Frank Beamer when we weren't looking?
Damn.

we needed a block in the back on the kickoff return

the offense are playiing like pussies.

just keep them on the sidelines and let the defense play both sides of the ball. They at least look like football players

Earl's got some speed !
block in the back

at the 20 yard line

where was the wall buster?
Hey Hawkins,

ET says OOOUUUCHHHHHH (while lifting his glowing finger).

the block in the back on earnest was much worse than the one called on williams
This F-ing Yahoo thing is like 4 min behind.

Im bitching about their int and all of you are cheering our TOUCHDOWN!!!!

Every Kickoff is an adventure
anyone else hope not to see vondrell as the back again tonight?
Way to go

got Acho???

Acho ain't lettin go
Achos!! they are fucking awesome
If I were Brown I would

gladly use a scholarship on a kicker that can kick it out of the endzone, don’t care if he can even kick field goals, would be worth it.

gid interception!
Another INT! baby
Works about

as well as a punt

Better. It keeps momentum going. The O needs all the help it can get tonight.
holy hell

Gideon?

gideon did something positive?
gideon haters be fucked!
no not yet calm down

i still dont like him

He put his hands on it and it landed in his lap. He got lucky
yeah he didn't lay out at all huh
It's not luck to meet the ball at the highest point

He deserved that one, straight up.

That's like

a punt, wish colt would learn that

GD, please throw it down field once and while. There would at least be less traffic in the coverage.
Cody and our defensive backfield - out best bet
can we use our offensive playmakers now? pleaase
review it for what
it's gideon...
Anytime Gideon catches something it needs to be reviewed..

This time he caught it with his body since he hands are bricks.

meh, same as a punt. funny gideon can catch that but drop pick vs TT
Take that shit to another board.
why? he ruined our season
Give me a break.
You're still holding a grudge a year later?
will still hold grudge 10 years later.
Don't get me wrong, I'm still pissed about that game

I still don’t wish ill or think of Gideon any less for making a mistake.

punt woould be better

chance for a Ship return

Can we get the D back on the field

Daddy wants the spread covered

If I am Darius White and watching this game, I am not coming to Texas
He wasn't coming anyways

Hicks being at the game is a bit disconcerting. Hopefully he’s there just to watch the D.

Not sure

Gideon intercepting is good, now he’ll definitely play all game next week (Bradford is happy).

I am confused about this play

thank God, we had special teams and a defense.

But Hicks is probably loving our Defense
Vondy

got twisted bad

the cream puffs on offense left their balls in the locker room
Seriously,

McGee again???

I hate to see McGee hurt

But tre may find the field

i'm not happy vondrell is hurt, but i'm glad he won't be back in the game
Uh oh

Vondrell down, Ship hurting?

damn mcgee looks hurt. and ship.
I like Blake

he does good things.

Johnathan Shipley

Erin Tits For Brains.

Fake ones at that nt
john shipley?
gimping around

WTF is that

Perhaps

addition by subtraction, send some people downfield now?

please bob don't put cody in
Serious we look like auburn..and not this yr's auburn
what

a catch. He’s a man!`

wow

what a catch by ship

God i think we got lucky
ship is simply amazing...makes a qb look great
wow what a catch!
buckner has been such a great find in that flex position...and Shipley kinda atones for this bobble-INT earlier
Muschamp for OC
Just leave the defense

on the field to run the offense, they apparently play their playmakers.

thank god

i didnt think they were going to call it

lol that guy wrestled shipley down
haha, awesome hold
the wildhorn is WORTHLESS
Is chiles

selfish? he keeps every time!

Run it but run it outside!

How hard can that be?

Wild Horn...eh
Is it just me or does the Wildhorn suck?
it sux in a major way
Anyone else listening to Dan Hawkins bitching?
IT'S THE BIG 12!
YOU SHOULD CALL HOLDING ON EVERY PLAY THEN!
yeah

he sounds pissed

HAHA!

was that hawk?

I was wondering if I was the only one

He was pissed as hell!

20 fucking touches to mcgee but fozzy can't get one!?!?
There it is. IT sucked.
he hits holes, zone read

there was no place to run on the sideline

offsides. and yeah he is bitching about holding lol
WildHorn = Q Package..
Ship winning them all - throws not great
and then you run him on a fucking option?
Anyone else

wonder if we have any other receivers? Maybe Malcolm can room with Colt McCoy and get some touches

Ship gets revenge

but it costs 15

option...really? let's see Tre get some touches!
the buffs secondary is the weakest part of the team

throw it deep!

Does anyone else

think that if he would just pump fake to Shipley once, every other receiver would then be open (everyone would assume he threw it)??

can we throw beyond the first down marker to someone other than ship?

No wonder we are easy to defend we are so predictable.

HEY GD

That fucking play doesnt work….

What the fuck is Greg thinking?

Seriously….

he's not, he's said before

he calls plays, not personel

Doesn't matter if we have Usain Bolt line up

Play calling most of the game = bad.

Does anyone know what it feels like to get your own father fired?

I’m a little curious about what Cody Hawkins is going through right now

same shovel pass as earlier, same shitty result
Shovel

EPIC FAIL

You gotta be kidding me!

Where is Buckner this game? I know he had a couple of short receptions but come on!

Offensive is really sputtering...
Shuffle only works like a screen when the backers blitz around the end
Toledo and West Virginia

did a better job

sure but this is CO bowl game...
which they would lose by 30+
I really hope these shovels are setting up a bomb down the field soon
the shovels are setting up the bubble screen...which nobody blocks...
somebody must hate fozzy

he’s been set up to fail twice

This just in...

Greg Davis is unimaginative.

Has Colt thrown

to anyone down field besides buckner and ship? This is really starting to upset, I am Colt’s angry receiver

He's not getting the time to see down field, TO. :)
there was a drop by kirk, but other than that no
oh yeah, and the couple to chiles

there’s really no variety, it’s pretty grating

let's see a double fake from someone besides shipley this time...bet it
Why don't

we give it the old denial line:

“We’re saving our creative play calling for OU”

Yeah, right.

If GD is this drunk during the OU game

Mack needs to get rid of him.

The buffs D line and backers are playing pretty well

so it’s important to run right into them to maximize failure

As bad as the offensive calls have been, the run blocking has been worse all night
Look, I know we are ahead

But this is embarassing.

where are the malcolm williams double fakes? cmon, put him out there..
Deep throws seem to be there...

And nothing over the middle? The screens to Chiles feel way too predictable too.

Just bitching…

just got here

did some douche say Bill Miller and Rudy’s is better than Salt Lick? WTF?

believe or not yes he did
bill miller? ha.

rudy;s cream corn is better than the BBQ. And only San Antonians like Bill Miller. That place is garbage,

he also called saltlick bad food...

ive never heard anyone say some dumb shit like that

let's see a double fake from someone besides shipley this time...bet it'll work
You may remember I predicted 59-0

I hope we make 40

i want what Bevo is on right now
Great

play call

followed up by a sweetass punt!
Now would be a good time to score.

Common D

3rd and 22...and you throw it 5 yards?
well 3rd and 22

all you can do is check down

great five yard punt

Tucker

don't see many of those

that will kill the net average

Tucker having a game to forget...
really? we are giving THIS guy a scholarship?
DJ Monroe = no touches?

Saving for OU?

stop punting left
5 yard punt.

Hmm. Glad he can rugby punt with each foot….

as terrible as that was

I’m still pretty impressed that he can even occasionally pull it off. Not sure that it needs to be a part of the game plan though

What?

This is a rugby match?

Overrated

Has a home crowd ever chanted “overrated”

I'm fine with the checkdown

You’re not converting 3rd and 22 often. If it’s not there, just pick up some yards and punt.

but punt better than that

little hawk isn't the qb
dammit our best offense just went out = cody
Has

CU showed any reason for us to rugby style? Just punt the damn ball

benching the son? no vagine for daddy hawkins this week
at least our run defense showed up in the 2nd half
3rd and 21

olorado scores……..we dump a 5 yard pass…..?

I think

Greg Davis bet against us, the spread was too hard to resist and he knows how to keep us from scoring. He’s now just worried the D might score too much.

scoring

How can he know how to stop us from scoring when he does not know how to call a series of plays that will allow us to score?

0 sacks tonight, right?

good to see pressure there

SHIP does it again
LOL

Our offense should have had the week off.

come on Ship...
Keep GD outa the gameplan
Special Team U = UT?
I think the ref threw a block
good block REF!!!!
special teams and D 21 offense 10
We're holding aces for next week.
again, bypassing the offense

is the recipe for success

31 pts

and 1 offensive td, embarassed or encouraged?

are you a texas fan? if so you're never satisfied, - embarassed
encouraged. the offense won't be this bad next week...right????
Ohio State did something similar today
Encouraged

It shows when our offense is slow, our defense and special teams step up

Atleast we will get some good sportscenter highlights out of this game...
GD's gameplan

Give the ball to ST and Defense. Here lie our best offensive weapons, apparently.

it's like we're kstate two years ago

that’s still not texas standard

thanks Ref...appreciate the block
I think

we have the wrong person up for Heisman…not that it matters MNC or bust!

Shipley for Heisman
I would vote for him
We are Va. Tech in Burnt Orange

I’m strangely okay with that

that can pass but not run
actually VT lists burnt orange as one of their school colors
So...we're Va. Tech in Austin
The offense has to have their tail between their legs right now
We have found a way to take the game out of GD's hands

Special teams, and Defense

Can we put

that ref at wideout to block on the bubble screen?

I love that guy!!!!
repeating:

thank fuck for defense and special teams.

Jordan Shipley for Heisman

Let’s get this going.

Think we will miss the Ship next year ?
yes

though on offense we’ll have a qb who considers other receivers

If we put Ship in at Safety then he never has to leave the field...
He could take Gideon's spot
BTW Andrews really nailed it about Shipley being gimpy
Can the Ship get a 7th year?
Ship could take GD
Can't we

have our kickoff cover team practice against Shipley and Monroe. After seeing them, these other teams will seem easy.

well kicker has to kick it further first
Offense

I would still like to see a few plays work. Maybe even have a reciever who is open

Ship could take GD's job next year!
At least he knows how to score!
Where is our best running back this year - Tre Newton??????
Was wondering the same thing
finally some coverage
ET time

Go Defense!

The defense

is on the field, we might score.

I hope Jordan Hicks is a special teams enthusiast
What just happened
Colt lost the Heisman in this game. No team offense.
why is cody not playing? not like hes playing TOO terrible..
Almost

knocked that ball out. Cheap penalty.

touched

the qbs helmet

OMG

thats fucking ridiculous

welcome

to 21st century football

Football is too pussified
Helmet opening?

Thats gotta be tough to do. Let alone for a ref to actually see.

Brush your hair skank
He touched the helmet because he ducked
Just put flags on the Qb's...get it over with
DAMN

That liquor we got in Mexico today was put to good use.
But seriously, I know a win is still a win but, we have to get our shit together before next week. I won’t be able to stand the CLACK CLACK of the chairs at the cotton bowl .

we are not going to the cotton bowl...
We play next week at the Cotton Bowl

the Red River Shoot Out. I am fully aware we are NOT playing in THE cotton bowl

let the kids play. bradford got a couple of crap roughing-the-passer calls today. it's football, not soccer. let em hit
We're losing

Jordan Shipley this year, but I think that some guy named Jonathan Shipley that Erin Andrews mentioned earlier still has plently of eligibility.

HAHA! She's a dumbass.
We need Jaxson ASAP!
pretty sure he's out for the year w/injury
3 or 4 penalties in a row.

run a play

This series is a travesty
another penalty
tearing that o-line up atm.
Its been a first down for like 6 snaps
Beasely sighting..
glad that our D is getting some serious pass rush now
They're taking away sacks from us

by committing these penalties. Jerks.

Will's heating up
I think

I heard the fans cheer on that play just because there was no flag.

I think TT gets em this year
does anybody care about who is the QB at Colorado

there is a game on dumb asses

Hawk is doing it to shut up the 303 locals and media
there we go.
Mr. Acho - defensive MVP
Good God

Will’s having a field day.

how many plays did they run on that 3 and out?
Big Hawk

is just trying to save his job by benching Lil Hawk.

Thanksgiving will be fun at the Hawkins residence.
It's Shipley time!
one more please ship
Ever notice how gideon jumps on piles after the guy is tackled
it's the rocky calmus theory of tackling
Yep, that's his trademark...

Well, that an whiffing and getting run over..

just make sure the uniform gets dirty
Yeah, and make sure he gets on tv..
Dumb move to impulsively burning the kids redshirt

This season is toast for CU

Nope. Time to let cody sit
But they had another guy
I'm sure Hawkins

knows that whether the kid has an extra year 4 years from now or not won’t be his problem.

Acho, acho, acho man
Disappointing punt return there

fire Duane Akina!

haha

fo sho

He was probably worn out!
Offense back on the field

Time for another stout

Those Acho kids are pretty good...
I waws very wrong on them

didn’t think kids who played at st. marks could possibly be worthy of scholarships. I was wrong.

Can Muschamp coach the O Line?

One week, that’s all i’m asking.

Note to Erin Andrews...

the “raised eyebrows” may be because they’ve all seen you naked.

LOL

wow. Wrong, but probably true.

and some not just on the internet
I would love to see that show in person.
As long as she didn't talk, that sounds good to me.
you, me and most

everyone else here

Jordan Jefferson is blissfully unaware of the pass rush
Wow

we have 46 yards this half. Embarrassing

Did you see that stat?

Texas 46 yards this half!

Can the offense execute?

Colorado is not that good on defense.

The horns need to score, get the ball back to Colorado.

will there be a kirkendoll catch this drive?
ask and ye shall receive
Yes,

apparently there will, and nobody on the defense expected it.

Let's

just punt on first down for the rest of the game, we’ll likely score more.

Does

another receiver EXIST!!???!!!

Eh. Our defense has held them 16 yards. I'll take the good with the bad.
I will say it again Long Pass
accurate long pass
KIRK

caught something!

that is 3 for the game.
and there's a catch for kirk
wow, colt just missed him
I think

Colt, doesn’t like throwing the deep ball b/c he’s not as accurate

Dammit...

that would have been 3 tds for ship

B/C

of the grab.

Holy crap! Nice catch!
ship catches a dart
why is the blitz causing so much trouble for the O line

do they not practice how to pick them up?

Nice block Colt!
On the replay: colt missed the guy he should have blocked and wiffed on the guy he took.
The mystical Fozzy creature
I thought he was an urban legend
y'all thnk colt has "grown"?

he still makes very bad mistakes… losing my belief that he can bring us back like last year…

No. He's regressed a bit.
yea... wondering how its gonna play out during the stretch
The problems begin with the line, IMO

He’s shakier because he knows that he won’t have much time. Shipley gets doubled, other receivers aren’t quite there yet, running game is pitiful….

It’s tough to pin this on Colt. He just hasn’t had time, and he only has one go-to receiver this season, compared to last, with Quan.

yeah...

And he hasn’t played really badly this game anyways, I think the lack of ANY run game is definitly hurting.

Mythical Fozzy Creature appears!
Woccca woccca wocca!!!
well hello running game. it would be on a busted play tho
FOZZY!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Fozzie took em around end!
Fozzy

exists, looking like Ramonce Taylor

Colt blocking better than his OL.
Seriously.

Since when did standing upright constitute run blocking?

waka waka waka!
now do you understand my vondrell posts

it’s not about what vondrell did wrong
he’s a good back
it’s just what he’s limited to doing

No

Vondrell stinks.

not at all

he’s just limited to running in a straight line and pushing people
but he doesn’t have break away speed, good vision, or cut back ability
with the limitations of our blocking scheme
he’s not gonna be very successful, and definitely not merit strict attention by an extra defensive player

Wrong

blocking and play calling often stink. Vondrell kicks butt.

Yeah,

I think Vondrell scratches Brown’s itch for the old “he’s been here forever so he’s starting and playing no matter what”. He can’t do it with the D anymore, but still needs his hit.

Exactly TD.

The old “Selvin Young” is our starter business.

i really wish we could've seen selvin full strength

he was a better back than ceddric before than high ankle sprain on that punt return
he NEVER regained his explosiveness after that

Saving Tre for next week?
maybe he's not fully recovered from the neck thing
That's what Iam thinking also.
time for a...........

Longhorn shot!!!!

There is still a chance our offense could outscore Special Teams!
meanwhile colt's body language says tense and unhappy

i hope the guy ends up having fun sometime soon

Colt HAS TO BE PISSED at how the line is blocking, protecting, and the play calling in general
all of that is the same as last year

the dude just looks unhappy

do you mean two years ago?
nope, i mean last year

he hones in on ship this year
and ignores everyone else
last year he had quan and ship
the whole team benefited

two years ago he looked terrified, not unhappy

he just really doesn’t seem to be having fun playing football right now

He watched Bama earlier and learned that there are offenses which don't require the QB to be superhuman
I have to believe

Tre Newton got hurt or got in trouble somehow.

Backed up Vaccaro in the gym fight
Did I just hear 24 yards rushing on 21 trys!!!!!!

before that touchdown? that makes my head explode

That is a UTEP-ish stat.
anybody tried the sam adams imperial series?
Good stuff
the double bock has floored me
It does that. 9.5% I think
Going with Jose Cuervo tonight
This game has sold more Cuervo than any in recent memory.
UT vs. OU - Football without Offensive Lines!
haha

1st to 21 wins

So rushing isn't our thing

OU can’t defend the short pass across the middle.

Tucker just doesn't have the leg to do kickoffs
shut up about Bradford

Its going to be hard enough

Beasley makes the play
He's been playing for Chykie most of the 2nd half.
Am sure Scott is thinking

Damn, if I was on the other side, I’d be starting

They could call false start on CU's right tackle pretty much every snap
Beasley!

Didn’t see that once last year. Very encouragine to see him hit someone

Colt vs Major

Who would you choose if you could…….

Colt...No question...

Smarts only get you so far..

so i've learned....
I love colt but Major was a special player
Colt is good

But Major…My best memory of all time is him beating Nebraska at Nebraska…a lot of others of course, but that was when I knew what kind of player he was. And if Major would have started over Simms, we would have had a NC before Young got his.

i dont know

that 01 miami team was awfully good

Colt

Loved Major, but I don’t think it’s close.

Yeah, I don't see how that's even a question
But Major FIRED UP his offense

I loved his ability to bring a team back into a game

colt did that last year, he doesn't have the same energy this year
colt....accuracy is better with not-as-good receivers
CO 111th in nation in run defense?
Yeah, and we can't run the ball against them.
They need

to break down who had those carries.

If this horns offense has to play a real defense

like LSU, Florida or Alabama it could be really really ugly

Fortunately, if LSU or UF have to play UT's defense it will be ugly
those bad offenses have to play our real defense too though
well....

that’s a long ways away, so just gotta hope they progress or change some things along the way.

Well we need to worry about OU first.
Oh, don't worry, we are worried!
is okafor playing tonight?

haven’t really seen him at all

which is

the closest thing we’ll see to a “sec” d

with our running scheme? every d
nother off start.
I say

we just travel our D and Special Teams to the OU game.

I say we only play the second half
how much can these guys

love fucking stoops and chokelahoma

OU O line is worse than theseTexas peckerwoods

and the Texas defense will eat them alive

Same goes for the OU defense as well
I want 45.
then the D or special teams better come through
enough

to try to make the game relevant

Too bad

there’s no award for “best 2 loss team in the country”.

Hopefully we can make them the “best 3 loss team in the country”.

undefeated in big 12 play

They can still ruin it for Texas.

Are these refs getting paid by the penalty?
give it to fozzy and let him make up a play

ignoring the one GD calls in

I pretty much hate...

almost every run out of the gun.

Major vs Greg Davis

When will Major become the offensive cordinator?

I wouldn't mind that...or some straight-ahead run blocking instead of zone blocking
When Mack's character trait of loyalty above all changes!
I don't know,

if he’s responsible for the running backs now, I’m not sure we want him running the whole offense.

within the GD scheme
We are putting in the 2nd string oline now. We might be able to run the ball now.
Yes,

an 80 yard run would make those running stats look much better.

I must say...

CO had a good defensive game plan. The did their best to prevent the deep ball and forced UT to go underneath and run which they did not handle very effectively. We will learn from this game film and I am certain we will be ready for OUsux. It is human nature to look ahead. After all, they saw the same game film from CO stink jobs this season…we took em a bit lightly and got away with it thanks to our D and Special Teams. Hook Em!

It is 7:30 in California and OU still sux.

I'm not sure how much they did to prevent the deep ball

We just never went there.

That's

my feeling, we didn’t look for the deep ball enough.

perhaps...but it would stand to reason that if they were open, Colt would see 'em and get the ball down the field.
Applying reason to this offense will lead to folly quickly.
We've somehow managed to look ahead in every 1st half this season, though. Troubling.
My morning oatmeal is going to salty from tears....

…..tomorrow when I read the offense stats from this game.

Please get another TD

and go for 2. Cover that spread!

not gonna happen. lol
still can't run the ball...geez
Gilbert just got cursed
Obviously he knows nothing about him...He is pretty nimble also.
yea but he called him S word
Adios amigos! See ya at the shootout!
that's game

As was said, we would win but winning ugly isn’t good. watching Alabama play, I think I would jump them over ….No I can’t say it.

Alabama is gonna jump into #2
IDK...22-3 was not exactly a shelacking
Ole Miss was, what top 20, what is Colorado?
We'll be #3 next week..
No problem - both teams in from will have to play each other
Maybe being #2 is too much pressure and they'll play differently being #3.
2 or 3 does not matter as 1 and 2 will take one out by force. Just win baby.
No real justification

for Bama jumping us.

Plus...

LSU still only 7 down to Florida (10-3, 4th).

who really cares...
Ole Miss was ranked 16

If voters didn’t see how ugly Snead played they’ll probably jump on the Bama bandwagon. Bama actually looks better than Florida

Agree

Bama > Gators

Texas > Bama > Gators
Fortunately, there will be no more than one no loss team in the SEC at the end of the regular season

and dropping to number 3 may be what we need to beat the hell out of OU

you know I can see some folks saying

a one loss SEC team is better than a no loss Texas

Yeah

but let’s be honest, Bama’s beaten a top 5 team and has crushed everyone else. They should be #2, but it doesn’t matter. SEC champ serves as national semifinal

I agree that will happen BUT

as long as they got their shot in the sec championship game it seems dumb to give a team another shot at an opportunity they already missed. Would be like if Michigan had gotten another shot against OSU in ’06. We never would have even have seen osu exposed by Florida

Pollsters

HATE rematches, only time ever I can remember in bowl alliance/bcs era was fl vs. fla st. and you can thank us for that matchup

besides, 38-14 with, 35 unaswered is not something to be punished for.
I kinda disagree

Considering how badly CU’s defense has been, the way that our offense performed tonight was really pretty bad. Will not look impressive to pollsters

How has Teebow looked?
Offense beat Colorado 17-14, Special teams beat offense 21-17
Atleast no one got injured besides McGee...

We are deep at RB so that’s ok.

But are any of them any good?
Doesn't matter with our oline.

Only one guy I know of could pick up yards with this line and that’s Earl Campbell. I don’t believe he has any eligibility left.

It’s possible they are all good and another unit is bad.

46 total rush yards

Deep schmeep.

Before I sign off let me just say

I love our D and Coach Boom!

I continue to wonder

if our offense has any degree of success against our D during practice. I heard pre-season some days it would be the O and others the D but i find that difficult to believe

HORNS PLAYED LIKE SHIT

HORNS PLAYED LIKE SHIT…BUT WE WON.

Just gotta do this 8 more times to get into the BCS Championship
Thank God the game is 60 minutes
wouldn't you love to be in the locker room at half time this year?
they need to move that half time speech up to the start of the game from now on.
LSU has 9 yards in the 3-4 quarters?
Teebow breathing some live back into LSU.
are we officially in hate week now?

the offense can’t possibly suck that hard next week, right? early kickoff saturday, rest up and be ready to bring it!

No more looking ahead to OU. It is time to look directly at OU
