better than the screaming lady
Well

I guess if Mack is going to fear the run, at least he is going to be honest about it.

I think it's more about building Colt up for the Heisman
Things are looking good so far

Would have like to see them go for it with 12 seconds left

should have been 14 seconds on the clock, right? we spiked the ball, clock stopped at 12 seconds. turns out there was a pre-snap illegal substition on KU. we got the 5 yards, but didn’t get the 2 seconds back for a play that never happened.

BTW

It’s not foggy, it Mangino stomping all the water out of the Earth.

Newton is the future
Cal scores

31 – 21 over Stanford

VY is comin'

to my citay!

It's frickin' hilarious how Titan fans were berating VY so much until recently

… now they’re actually winning games

Be careful if you venture over to Music City Miracles

The haters are still rabid.

Goodwin doesn't look bad returning kicks..
all young speedsters go to the outside
goodwin just needs a little more muscle
I'm sure he'll put some on after track is over
Agreed. He'll be pretty dangerous if he can start breaking some tackles..
poor spot

not that it matters

wow..LG just got his ass kicked..whos that?
Not the start you want for the second half
Nope. Colt still running for his life back there..
he can do it all, voters
Mangino Baby Pic

+1

…I see him and I keep thinking, “DAMN that guy’s obese”
I don’t know I could listen to a guy like that if I were a player.

he’s seriously going to have a coronary

colt is annoyed
Wow are you f-ing kidding me

Mack doesn’t have confidence in the offense getting 4 yards?

It's OK. We need a defensive score!!!

may also have simply seen it at as a good chance to check out mccoy’s pooch kick….

Colt playing pissed
it's nice to see Colt get some fire in him.

but I think he plays better when he’s relaxed

or when he gets good protection
Can't watch the game...

Out of the coverage network, suffering through ’Zona/Ducks…Go Cats!

I was watching it online earlier... there's a link to a good feed in the first half thread

go to justin.tv, find the game there

http://www.justin.tv/alvaropera
Colt is definitely in the game

not sure about his O-line

they are such a disappointment
D is loafing again
Playing the soft prevent again

Only thing this D does not do well…

still looking for an INT
They need to put some pressure and switch it up a lil
all passes from reesing are about 1 foot off the ground.

very hard to intercept…. also hard to catch

Briscoe is owning us

might as well keep feeding him

curtis not playing too well tonight...
...It's annoying watching them march down the field
NOOOOOOOOO.

keep him out of the endzone!!!

wow. corners struggling tonight
A rushing touchdown should really piss off our defense
Well, we came out flat...
Terrible D, Just awful
halftime adjustment drive

disregard

That pooch kick didn't work out

KU just scored a TD on an 88 yard drive. Still don’t get that decision. Are we playing to win?

Pooch kick was fine. KU went 80+ yards in nothing flat
... should drink everytime I see mangino

maybe it’d pretty him up some.

Happens everytime we do the prevent..
If it happens everytime, why do we keep doing it damnit
I guess to take time off the clock..

That’s the only reason I can think of.

Cal 31 Stanford 28
Oregon was losing 17-14 last time I saw it
??? Arizona actually got things going ???
That is what I am talking about
SAY GOOD NIGHT TO MALCOLM WILLIAMS!
Angry Colt + Man Child = goodness
insulting, that
Malcolm......So easy....

Can’t believe we don’t do that more often…

MALCOOOOLLMMM BABYYYY!!
TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FRICKIN' LOVE MALCOLM
shit GD finally checking out BON?

colt called the play at the line…. GD had a bathroom break

HAHA nice..GD's senior present?
by going to the bathroom?
Was That Chiles on that TD?
No, that was the Malc himself
Sorry - was sarcasm
I like Chiles, but...

that TD is exactly why Malcolm, and not JC, should be on the field

I expect the D to lower the boom this drive.
I want to see them get a massive sack this drive. Take his head off
not to be THAT guy, but...

wasn’t the best deep ball from Colt

Yeah, under thrown and off to the inside but he was open enough to..

make the adjustment and still take it to the house..

should have scored at least 8 points
Sp. teams tackling has been shoddy
Gideon is always the second guy there

He will get the late hit call one day

Naw, nothing to worry about, he hardly ever hits anyone..
Gideon lacking speed there.....
geez...CBs keep getting beat badly
They are picking on Curtis
GRRR

DB’s do your job

What's up with the defense?
Muck faster than Gideon
Yeah, unfortunately..
curtis is unravelling
curtis getting lit up!!
The D is just awful I don't why but this has got to stop
We still have our 1's in

why is this happening?

muschamp losing chess battle to the fat bastard..
Mangino just ate his queen
boom seems to be dialing up lotta blitz tonight...and mangino is keep countering w/ slants and short passes

our poor tackling doesnt really help..

That's more like it
FG no good

nice field position

it absolutely blows my mind...

how incredibly fat Mangino is. I mean, it’s unreal! the man has 8 chins

Does Colt realize he can just throw the ball away?
Had time...he wants to run around
Oline really pissing off Colt
Oline gonna get McCoy killed tonight..
shipley definitely himself tonight..he wouldve hold on
Bama and Florida's D will have a field day with our O-line and GD.

Nebraska will give us fits too

gotta get rid of that

had all night

The Nebraska game

looks pretty scary given our O-line. It’s probably going to be like the OU game.

need to convert here
I am really going to miss Colt next year
I would say...

let’s not look past the Aggies and Von Miller just yet

Colt has his stats

We need to go back to trying to score and not just throw every play

Great scramble

he’s got to do it all.

I’m worried that he’s going to get gun shy due to his O-line. He might get scramble-happy.

OL=Fail
Maybe we need to move to the underclassmen. They are supposed to have a hell of peidigree
need to bring EBS...this is just sad
linemen all fall down or stand around
Why doesn't McWhorter take more heat?
past success. will soon change
Tanner had a chance to blow up the LB and got knocked off his feet
Stanford close to winning the game with less than 2 minutes
It may just be me trying to look on the bright side of things...

but part of the problem is we just don’t look all that excited about this game. A&M will be different and the Big 12 title game will definitely be different. I can’t believe we’ll play like this again the rest of the season.

I'm worried

you can’t just flip the switch on. It doesn’t work like that. Colt is pissed off for a reason.

Every time we go 5 WR, they blitz.

How come they can protect in 5 wide and we can’t??

I'd rather play Nebraska than K-State

K-State has had our number in the past and we seem to have Nebraska’s number

I'll have to disagree given NU's D-line vs our O-line matchup
Plus I need us to play NU so I can take a dork I work with's money for being cocky about NU
Is it sad that we're #3 and scared of two unranked teams because our line is terrible?
The oline sucks..its that simple...

That’s a weakness you can’t hide…

At least Colt's able to scramble a lil bit
Stanford intercepted in the redzone. Cal will win
Beat me to it. I was looking at the Gamecast
I turned to watch the end. I have a friend who is a Cal fan but I want the strongest team to beat the buckeyes
Stanford down by 6 on the Cal 13

Less than 2 mins left

Int Cal......looks like Cal is going to win the game
OL is soft and clumsy

horrible combo

at least

abc hasn’t switched games

I've never seen Colt this frustrated before

especially in a game where we’re winning by 3 TDs

colt needs to relax...too uptight right now
Why do we only throw to him when he's standing still?
hellbent on screens
screens work best

when blocked

Kirkendoll needs to reach out and get the ball...

He lets the ball just come to him too much..

Get that f-ing ball Kirk!
Is this get Hunter the Groza night?
Is this get Hunter the Groza night?
Crushing

We r winning big but look sloppy on both sides of the ball

I think we need to chill guys...we are up by 20+ points
lets just enjoy our D taking Riesing's head off
isn't it awesome?

we ARE kicking ass and can still things to bitch about. that’’s the sign of a great program.

LOL

unrealistic expectations..I love it
Colt really need to chill tho, VY never got frustrated when his OL played shitty..he relaxed and calmed everyone down

Husker fans throwing Horns down in Lincoln

sigh

Arizona over Oregon by 10 with 14 minutes left
Still A Beautiful Night

1. Colt sets all time win record
2. Horns clinch Big XII South
3. Nice night for Stiffarm Trophy
4. Nice night for Groza

Is the Big 12 CCG at the Cotton Bowl?

or Jerry World?

There is our Defensive INTA
Sorry I got carried away. INT
Interception!!!!!!!!!
if ET stays the next 2 years...

will he be the best Earl to ever put on the burnt orange?

no

scratch that, he would have to be absolutely fucking phenominal. 2 years is alot of time, but i dont think earl thomas could do it.

Keenan destroyed a guy, but AW down is really really bad

fuck, AW down

Damn...We can't lose him...
He might be done. Crap

he’s done for the game at least

Thorpe, Thorpe Thorpe, Thorpe
Oh no... can't walk on right leg
Broken leg??

Looked like an inflatable cast.

they didn't put a cast on...it was something he has been wearing on his calf...
Ok

Hadn’t noticed it.

that was like… one of those neoprene knee sleeves…

scratch that, was just an ace wrap around his calf

well AW going down is no good
Fear Factor For A&M and Nebraska goes way up without #4
Uh...maybe A&M but no way on Nebraska

I’m sorry, but have you seen their offense? We don’t need to worry about our D in that game…it’s our OLine that might be in trouble

please let it be strain....come on....
Or an ankle...

Anything but a knee…

Run!!!!
No joke

Funny how play action doesn’t work if the other team knows you’re not running.

who the heck is the one talking?
ESPN's BCS 'guru'
looks like a douche.
We are really good at football
and got fans who wants great football all the time
that was a PRETTY ball from McCoy
I seriously think GD calls plays based on the stats he wants to finish the game with
That will be it for McCoy

4 TDs…what a night for him on Senior Day

Better put in the 2's

Can’t afford any more injuries

Yep, and get them some rest for the short week with the game against A&M on Thursday..
Oregon 21 Arizona 24
I say Colt goes in for one more play...cuz its his senior night
no, it's better to end on a td

If he stays in, he stays in til he scores again

im saying he might talk his way into playing

i wouldnt mind seeing GG…GD will try to get us our rushing to 100 so it looks respectable…

Nice Thought - Him and Ship both
I'm sick of hearing these "what if" scenarios.
We win out it's moot.
The system sucks...just win out and forget about anything else..
Same here, our O line is not going to be a big enough problem against nebraska

They’re going to get raped.

Thanks brad edwards nice honest answer to keep your job
Final for Nebraska over KSU 17-3
Arizona returns a kickoff 63 yards to the 22
98 yard return? You have to be kidding me?
Kick coverage has been awful. Cyrus Grey will be running through my nightmares this week.
Jesus tackle!
absolute shit tackling
Might as well go for the onside kick
You know they're going to
is it just me or has texas struggled on kickoff coverage for a while

i remember in the rose bowl vs michigan getting absolutely torched by steve breaston

  1. i think just lightly pushed briscoe instead of trying to wrap him up….. shitty
yeah, didn't even bother using his arms there, wtf
Well - We Are a Work In Progress

But I am starting to give up that this team will click in all phases at the right time

they only have to do it once
kick coverage has been woeful all night
WTF

are u kidding me??

colt still out there
I don't think Colt even wants to get out
lets give up points cuz we are up 30?

what kind of shitty mentality is that?

Excellent blocks? More like missed tackles on that run back.

Special teams has not looked good today.

Now The Ones Come Out
AW injury update?
That special teams advantage we enjoyed early seems to be disappearing

2nd string special teams are in….

lulz

I guess the AW injury freaked out the coaches

i was just joking, no idea who is out there on ST

Are we trying to get Colt the passing yards in a game record?
Why not run the ball instead of throw sideways?

cause we run the ball sideways… with cojo

Cause we're tyring to get the final stats GD wants
Colt has about 391 - how many does he need?
Wow we ran

and got a 1st down

That ought to teach them not to frickin' respect the run
Oregon ties it up with Arizona with 8 minutes left
colt wants that 400
Nice run by Newton. 51 points!!!
That's enough, put in GG
haha colt might say he wants 400...lol...he seems really greedy tonight
Running Back carousel will continue

johnson and newton have played the entire game, what carousel do you speak of?

51 in a game where our line has been beat isn't too shabby, but I'm still a little scared of the D's we have ahead
They will fear our D!
any word on AJ?
That's the only thing I want to know....

Hopefully not serious. If it is, then we gotta move ET to the nickel and put Brewster in at left safety.

Our O-line won't be good enough to beat the SEC champ

We could still beat Bama or Florida, but it’d be with turnovers or a return or two. IMO

just like the OU game
Nice special teams adjustment
Huh? we decided to give them 37 yards
we didn't kick it to Briscoe
Arizona with a 71 yard pass to take a 7 point lead
And some guy on ABC says winner of Oregon-Arizona has clear path to the Rose Bowl

Is he nuts? Arizona plays ASU (I’ve heard that’s a rivalry of some sort) and USC. Clear path, other than the alligators and minefields and quicksand.

Earl Thomas!!!

doing it all

Tackled by the punter. Doh!!
think Shipley takes that back?
Earl Sucks

Can’t even juke the punter.

This guys is amazing.

wow.

that should have gone

Las series for colt?
Nice return by ET...

Gotta make one quick move and use your speed to get around the punter. He got too cute there and make multiple moves to get around the punter. Shipley takes that one to the house.

He is young. Ship has been returning them for Texas for 9 or 10 years
One play for Colt and Ship and start the applause -- nt
Please can we have one more year with Earl?
Harris and not Gilbert??
That was Walker...ABC missed it.
now GG is in

what in the world are we doing

Very sentimental move

I think it’s great what they’re doing. They’re giving everyone a chance to play in the last home game of the year, and senior day.

Fozzy in for garbage time
4th and 8 and fozzy gets the first
nice...throw the ball!
GG has to learn to take the fire off the short passes

fuckit, crank the juggs up

Congrats to all the seniors. On to A&M, Nebraska, and our BCS bowl.

3 more wins and we can all party like it’s 2004!

D Gets Curtain Call Too?
Oregon down to 4th down and 5 with 30 some seconds left
23 seconds. on the 23 yard line
That 43 looks beautiful under Colt's Name
11 seconds left on the 8 hard line
Mad Dog and Mangino

Two pretty big guys

Mad Dog Still Somewhat Athletic Looking

and benching 600, maddawg is fat athletic….. mangino was a giant blueberry

Oregon touchdown
Mack Brown is a classy guy.
Unbelievable Leader Of A Program - Contrast With Other Sideline
Oregon ties it up with 6 seconds left

Congrats Colt and seniors!

3 to go!
