All chaps, baby. All chaps

The team is looking Pasadena bound today. Only way they don’t go is if they get in their way.

I hope MB poors it on 2nd half. Briles is a worthy candidate.

...and that's the kind of screaming lady me likes!
LOVE the pic.

Doesn’t do much for me.

I prefered the Oh Shit bear

lol….you’re well damn straight! I heard most women have a little bi by nature…Oh well, what do I know?

Wrong.

I know…lol…

That’s just a guy’s fantasy. Boys are so easily amused.

Yes. Yes we are...
I have around 50 female friends with whom I hang out at least twice a month

and of those, I know for a fact that at least 90% of them are bi or bi-curious. Granted, this isn’t a typical sample.

Okay enough

That’s enough, gentlemen.

I apologize

I started the fire and its time to put it off…Please back to Baylor game, folks.

It's never enough, trust me.

Heh. But I get your point.

That escalated quickly.
FSN is the Baylor of sports networks
No, they're worse than Baylor

Agros.

have we blown a screen up? i feel like we’re getting gashed for 8 yards every screen.

only on the opening "feel them out" drive. Nothing since.
that stupid viking person for hampton inn

is the most punchable person in the commercials today. except for that stupid freecreditreport.com toolbox

I'd vote for whoever beatboxes in the jack links commercials

I thought I heard the audience yelled out “Texas Tailgate” or something…

When you wake up at Hampton Inn

ya wake up a winner.

freecreditreport.com

those 3 dudes should get their own albums out…

They don't actually sing the song

They’re just actors. Shocking I know.

What about the

“That’s thinking with your dipstick!” tool.

That pic has everything

cutie and a booty.

Wow PB

Glad you digged out those 2005 pic..Bravo!!!

Over-Under that FSN halftime show runs slightly long and the first graphic we see is 47-0?
BTW, Craig is particularly emotional today on the broadcast.
lol

as well he should be. i get a kick out of that though.

i especially love the “Oh you’ve gotta be KIDDING ME” that jacob always throws out there during the show on 1300

Houston only up one over UCF
Nice Indiana-Penn State game going on.

10-10 3Q, Indiana driving.

Spoke too soon.

Penn State picks it for 6.

Balance

I wanna hear the espn tools try to say Alabama or the tebows are more balanced than us. Try it houltz you old slobbering bastard!!

is jowlous at word?

if so, i’d like to add it to the holtz description.

It's like watching a senile Daffy Duck who used to know football inside and out
Beatdown Statistic Graph

Baylor beatdown

how can we let them win the penalty battle? lol
lol fsn, who else would have a football game sponsored by eharmony
The fake UT

threaten to score TD to tie the game. Vol 14 Ole Miss 21

eHarmony First Half Stats says:

Colt and Ship are a perfect match!

Now 2nd down for Baylor from their 21 yd line. FSN = fail.

A big time failed!

So almost equal time of possession

but 40 to nothing

Lamarr

dude!

Did he just block the pass?

robinson I think
I was commenting on the sack play before.

but, yeah, BOOM!

thks, i thought it was houston the beast..

Just caught up on my DVR

But wow this is the WORST commentary/presentation I’ve ever seen.

The color guy knows NOTHING about Texas or Baylor and is often wrong.

Also I’ve missed at least one TD by Texas because the production crew was dicking around with Georgia State / Duke. Are you kidding me?

Baylor creeping towards negative total yards

good… hope we hold them to -100…

Stat question.

Can we add negative Baylor yards to our offensive yards?

lamarr = beast
Ha Ha Ha. BU fans are gone except the Line. Will FSN switch to the Stephen F Austin game?
Mizzou up 17-6 on K State
Big 12 North = ClusterF.

Choosing a north conf. champ is going to be like choosing the 08 south conf champ.

But Oppisite?
opposite

I can spell

Except opposite.

Instead of 3 good teams you have 6 bad ones.

KSU is clearly afraid of winning the big 12 north
It's like Iowa State in McCarney's latter years
Coach Boom just takes the will out of the opposition.
Johnson 5 or 6 yards from 100
CJ up to 97 yards on the afternoon......
okay, at what point

does GG go in today?

after they award the heisman to colt
i just want to see him get some quality throwing practice
I agree

What other things Colt needs to prove out there? It’s time for GG.

How many horizontal passing yards do we have?

Like if you actually measured how far the ball travels when McCoy lets it go, I guarantee its like 2 or 3 times his total statistical passing yards.

Do they have touchbacks in Rugby?
Gotta pull in that pass, buckner

Still, Colt clearly put it behind him

And it was still well short of a first down
based on earlier catches,

i’ll let him have a pass on that one.

Baylor D is pitching a shutout

in the 2nd half

How long before they start taunting us again?
After we score three more TDs.
UCF up on Houston 23-17

5 mins in 3rd

Nice open-field tackle, curtis
Very nice indeed

He was in soft there, but closed and made the sure tackle.

24-7...40-0

Totally the same thing

some 2nd unit guys getting run. Keeps it interesting
Last 7 drives: -22 yards...ouch.
Cu Brown

Bet he can count to 11.

We have outscored our last four opponents

113-17 in the first half

what's our record in those games?
That is an awesome atat... who'd have thought/
Stats are for losers.
Shipley scares me somtimes.

One awkward tackle in the open field and our #1 all time receiver is out of action.

Caveat:

I understand that his return style is what makes him useful, but hot damn.

Man... fat fingered it three times
Still waiting for Earl

To get his 1st interception of the game.

Seems like he's due

Been an awfully quiet game for the kid. Baylor’s been smart not to challenge him, though.

it's gonna be tough

considering i can’t recall the last time they threw it more than 5 yds downfield

wow, i didn’t know they completely leave out their passing game…

Can we not have Ship returning punts in blowouts?

unless they tell him to fair catch it

Agreed, lets see CuBrown back there!
I was thinking Monroe or Hales
at this point i seriously agree

no sense in him getting blown up or twisted on coverage when we don’t need a gamebreaker

Roger says

trainers looking at Cu Brown’s left knee on the side line.

Yeah, saw him grabbing his knee after that screen play.

Hopefully its not serious.

Looked like his knee took a shot. Bruised, I bet.
A Baylor shutout...

….would be yet another 2005/2009 parallelism.

How many points do we need to put up to repay Briles for #5 in the Coaches Poll?

70?

Texas was 74pts. behind OU in the final coaches' poll

(1482-1408)
 
I’d say that’s as good a number as any.

Wanna see Colt get some more stats
Want to see GG with a unit that is trying to score
Nice catch and spin for chiles
Chiles

Most of his plays are short run for some reason…GD needs to help him to improve his plays.

Mack Brown:

the REAL great communicator

Nice Chiles. Really now.
Yeah UCF!

23-17 over the Houstonians.

Forcing the Chiles thing a bit
Drive-killer - should have run the ball
and contol the clock. Either Fozzy or Tre' would have done nicely on that series I should think.
Time to convert Chiles to someone who stays on the sidelines
From the Barking Carnival open thread:

“John Chiles gets tackled by caucasians in the open field.”
“Chiles now falling down BEFORE the catch.”
“Chiles and Kirkendoll = "first-unit." Kill me.”

Another loss of yards for the Bares
there's ET with a tackle-for-loss
How is that hold not called?
little bit of over-pursuing there
BU fans were way too excited about that first down
Okay, the second one I get

Defense adjustment!

C'mon D

We want the shut out game!

Is it just me

or do the rest of you laugh when they announce “illegal touching” penalties?

EACHO!

nice pick.

Great great play

Jumped that all the way!

man that was an easy INT. another big play for the Acho family
1st Pick by a non defensive back all season
acho!

Another turnover forced by Dos Achos!

E-Acho nonchalant

Oh well, you suck

Yay!

D is @work once again!

Tre' ... tough run up the middle.
GG in the game
E Acho

Nicely done. Class, sportsmanship, win…

Fumble!

Come on Newt!

He's a freshman, it happens
Welp, Cojo cemented as a starter.
Tre' will be pusing up those NOS's this week for that one.
Bring on the BOOM.
Gosh, Muschamp has our defense giving 100% till the end of the game.

Why can’t our offense do that?

Would rather watch the D anyway.....
how deep in the hole will their running game go?

-30 yards so far… I predict another 20. -50 rushing (including sacks and such)

Bebe:

“It’s great to be around the young people”

Still a 0-0 game?
guys id like to see a little here

Okafor, Howell, Vacarro, Marcus Davis, GG, Hales, Monroe, Matthews

Looks like we are scrimmaging the scout team today.
can't have a zero in the third quarter
Has to be embarrassing

So much for pretending it’s 0-0 to start the second half.

BU Fans

heading out early for a tequila run.

Tailgating for church tomorrow by now, actually
but no dancing.
Among the things I ponder when trying to sleep:

Do Nazarene churches prohibit end-zone dances?

*Nazarene schools, I meant

Crap. Abort, abort!

good rushing/passing balance today

189/181

Anyone care

to update K-State/Mizzou game?

I think 15-12 Mizzou...don't quote me.
Looks like 24-12 now
Ole Miss 35, Tenn 17

That Vol’s off field incident may have hurted their psyche on the game.

24-12 Mizzou

Gabbert hit Alexander on a bomb for a one-play drive TD

Come on Fozzy

make a statement.

GG!!!
Long bomb

Let’s throw 1 long bomb for another TD.

FSN makes up for the crappy broadcast with the super-cool montage

oh wait…

it's been

downright offensive coverage today.

Bebe sux
Err...work on the consistency there, Foz
Lotta drops today
GG looks very poised
putting a little much on every ball though
GG should have tucked the ball and run.
I was hoping to glimpse the wheels myself
Damn Goodwin

It’s just not very easy for the QBs today

GG's got a rocket arm and some good feet

if only he had good blockers

What do you expect with mullet on the field.
It's good to see GG

looking so good moving around in the pocket

Although it's bad to see the line leaking so badly

He had guys in his face every time he dropped back

He can be just as elusive as Colt.

He's a reincarnation

of Colt “Weasel” McCoy himself.

Incomplete on the Texas sideline all in green jersies Jeez !
GG running for his life back there.

2nd team Oline looks terrible also.

Everytime Bebe says "youngsters," drink
AHHH

He’s said “young people” and I got excited…. False alarm.

Need a second half touchdown.

Jager shot awaits. First TD of each half is a shot.

I'll bust out the Patron to that.
We'll be close to 20 minutes into this half before UT has next chance to put up its first score
Wow. Beebe is an idiot.

I can’t believe I didn’t know that before. How do we get rid of that guy?

"Old system" would have denied UT the 2005 Championship
How so?
UT would not play USC. USC #1 would win their game and be champs
USC would have beat up on Big 10 opponent in Rose Bowl

and the pundits would have continued their “this USC team is the best team in college football history” bs.

30-20 UCF

Good win for us if they hang on

Wisconsin 42, Michigan 24

Wow. Two minutes to go…

Inching closer and closer to most wins ever....
Looks like Michigan will have to beat tOSU next week to go bowling
Yep,

Could be a net gain of nine wins on Michigan this year.

No chance.

Been to every home game this year (except Delaware State)…Robinson doesn’t have the athletes on defense to make it happen.

3rd team junk yards now.

marcus davis on that tackle

Nice effing knock back by Vaccaro

And then Davis made the good tackle.

Beebe quotes

“I like the current system.”
“Id rather see us go back to just the bowl games and let the press decide the champion.”
“A plus-one doesn’t solve anything. USC was 5-6 a few years ago and they wouldn’t have gotten in.”

What. The. Fuck?

He’s clearly on something…

I unserstand completely.

Sincerely, The Electoral College

ben alexander with the pick?

stupid FSSW

ben alexander!!!!!!!!???????
Holy crap we scored!
ends a 22:23 scoring drought in half
BOOM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ah yes ... so we avoid a scoreless second half
Nice. More defensive points.

lol…..Muschamp is laughing at GD big time now..

WHAT THE FUCK

The coverage in the NW just stopped for a pre-game show.

I hate FSN. We have a winner for worst broadcast ever.

VS > FSN

Big 12 needs to get better media deals, and Beebe is a big part of the failures in that regard.

Agreed.

I’m getting frustrated with this “cut back into the action after the play has already started” crap. They’re playing more ads and replays than the actual game.

They are showing video of warm ups

and making Beaver puns. BEAVER PUNS!

and florence has yet to put up those points he talked about
what did he say?

it would be the defense that scores in the second half and not the offense..

Texas offense 39 - Texas Defense 9
oops math fail 38
You got your national championship game right there....
4 yrs = forever

Don’t say that….that’s how much longer I’ll be in grad school before I have a real job.

Just quoting Lapham
Emily needs a different shampoo
Is this innuendo?

If so, I agree.

Note to Baylor:

I guess don’t let Pawelek give any more pregame speeches

And Colt ties David Greene with 42 wins.

How.incredibly.awesome.is.that!

For those who care about the Heisman

Colt being the “winningest QB of all-time” is going to be his best bet for gaining momentum for the trophy

the north picture is getting cloudier!

K state looks to be going down……….if Kansas beats Nebraska tonight……then we may be looking at a 4-4 champ and tiebreaker crap.

My goodness, Colorado may win the north for all we know

70-3 vs Colorado

would be only 1 more parallelism….

Needs to be a clause that promotes the #2 team in the south to the championship game when North is futile
How poetic if that should happen. Let them bring up the rear in the Retribution Tour.
Can you imagine a pack of 6-6 North teams needing a tie-breaker for the division title?

The “winner” most likely going to 6-7. Anyone know if 6-7 means no bowl?

Let's go D

Goal line stand

Put AW back in. We need another endzone pick
I like 99yd fumble returns
Defense giving poor effort right there.
love the baylor fans

in the crowd shot going nuts for the TD. who are these guys?

We're tied 7-7
Mack should have never agreed to reset the score at half
The Defense is tied...
right. Bayor O outperforming GD in half
piss

i wanted the shutout

Crap, we didn’t shut them out.

Drive this one down and score
Wow

I had almost forgotten about Vondrell McGee.

Lets see if GG can throw it long
GG:

“I can has touchdown?”

GG's having problems connecting

Big part of it is his placement, but a bigger part of it is the receivers. They’re playing with flippers.

A failed genetic engineering experiment

To give dolphin genes to our receivers?

man, 3 & out

That’s quick…

Marcus Davis

Very nice stop on the pass.

Another TD?
F%&@ that!

Make ’em hurt a little more.

Vacarro is a really good tackler, isn't he
Love that way Vacaro plays
I want two second string D scores
There was second pick 6
Second team is terrible.
Bohls...

pretty much called the final score in the AAS

This is what we get for taking the foot off the gas
reminds me of 2007 D
2 Garbage TDs?

Fucking bullshit.

They are only slightly better than Baylors starters
Ugh

An abortion of a fourth quarter for both offense and defense.

Crap!

Our 2nd string D are getting trounced by them.

Wanna see a nice game?

Purdue’s driving on Michigan State right now, about a minute left.

would you rather have the 2nd team get a half of experience… or would you rather be a stat whore and shut out Baylor?

lets get some experience. all these mistakes and missed tackles are only going to make us deeper on the defense. gives muschamp something to yell at them for.

Stat whore.

yeah, lets not build the depth that’s obviously needed on our march to the NC game, all the while exposing our 1st string defense to injury.

Displaced sarcasm detector?

a two word answer that was given as an option doesn’t exactly indicate sarcasm.

So the game sorta went south following the safety
Frick

Michigan State beats Purdue. I think. Flag pending.

Yep. Well, Purdue's eliminated from bowl contention.
UCF 37, Hou 32

C. Keenum; 32/56, 371 yds, 3 TD, 1 int

how much time left of the game?

:10 from the latest i can pick up
37-32 UCF, 10 seconds remaining

UH has to go for the onside kick, but beyond that, it’s in ink.

thus ends

the keenum heisman campaign

mizzou wins 38-12

dang….I hope we can play against K-State on the Big 12 title game.
