They better come out

with the great adjustment especially, on special team!

The main adjustment being...

Don’t be idiots.

oh yeah, John Gold...just a foolish mistake..
Awesomely appropriate graphic.

My lips are sealed. (and now that song is stuck in my head)

Thanks for the humor, Peter.

I am following the game on gamecast

whats the deal? the stats look good. We outgained them 237-99 and out F’Ded them 11-6. Have we just been really sloppy?

Worst half in a few years.
Yep

And we gave them all 10 points on special teams breakdowns

Blocked Punt returned for TD, Fake Punt fail from our own 10 and stagnant offense.

Special Teams

Blocked punt for TD. Fake punt on our 10, didnt work out. short field…field goal. =10 pts

McCoy is overthrowing the ball and our receivers

can’t catch today. Very Vanilla play calling

Vanilla is what you wanna call that. That is Classic GD.
mistakes at the worst possible times

bad turnovers, ineffective running game

Well, special teams is the obvious answer

But the offense hasn’t been anything but hit and miss. Really, one great drive before halftime. McCoy has made some terrible throws — the stuff we didn’t know he had in him. Rushing game the usual more so-so that special. Line getting outplayed badly most of the way.

Defense really stepped up. Houston. Thomas. Robinson.

And, thankfully, it’s 30 minutes, not 60.

Wow

The punter decided to try for the first down on his own

He is benched.
wtaching the game

they didn’t say he did it on his own, until Mack Brown said it at half time. He better be benched for a very long time

Agree you are the Punter not the QB.
Do you think that he is coached to do that?

I would think that one of the benefits of the rugby kick is that you potentially could just turn the corner. Obviously it was a stupid decision, but I doubt that a normal punter would even be put in that position.

You are right about that. That was just a horrible mistake.
awesome pic, PB
I think the offense will be ok now

But the inability to get a 1st down on 3rd and 2 just tells me to forget the running game.

Relax

Texas will step it up and win this one decisively.

We've been saying that all through the 1st half

and it hasn’t happened at all.

Great graphic for all the screaming Mimies....
McCoy

The refs made us switch McCoys, and we have had Austin McCoy at quarterback so far.

More coachspeak than usual

Wyoming playing great, great environment, just gotta be Texas, go out there and have fun, etc. Classic.

how many Mack Claps are we at now?

I caught 2 of them.

I’m hearing that twang in my head now…

So if it wasn't for our punting unit it would be 13-0

awesome

Argh, justin.tx made me watch...

…a Yankees highlight. Arrrrrgh.

ahahaha
Thanks

I can’t thank you enough for putting this game on….

Yes, 13-0 easily. They can't move the ball and Houston is getting pressure constantly
OK I predict 56 unanswered points
I hope so but the ST is killing us.
Worst First half since Texas Tech of last year?
Worse than last year
Just bad execution and lateral play calling

by GD and the offense. We have to play down the field.

Pokes down 24-7 at half
Case Keenum is a stud
I agree

Case is a stud. Houston’s D looks really good too. I think it’s an upset about to happen.

I thought it was 10-7? Wow!
They just look overwhelmed by 30,000 hillbillies
we need OSU to win
I agree

The Big 12 is going to look so weak for our strength of schedule if everyone keeps losing..

I agree with that

Conference losses to non-BCS teams are a bad thing.

NO worse than that man. Tech at least has speed
both OSU's in fact
somebody beat that old man in the barrel PLEEEEEEEEASE
whats the OSU score?
24-14 Houston

3rd quarter

Bright Side

At least our defense has gone into shut down mode.

yeah D looks awesome
Tebow will have more INT than Colt
They're savin Colt's sweet little hiney
Michigan leading ND
I've go 20-17 ND at half

So Holtz’s national champion stepped up? Good to know…

UH!

We are just sloppy. And many of the posts are right, we are VERY vanilla with our playcalling. Defense is keeping us in this game. Greg Davis seems to always do this when we’re on the road, he plays not to lose until we can’t afford to not play like that anymore (I.E. Texas Tech ‘08, Oklahoma ’08) He just needs to realize we’re better than this team and take advantage of our talent. Hook ’Em Horns!!

Millie Vanilla offense

Too true.

I think they thought that would be sufficient and only came out
of it when we had to move down the field quickly before halftime.

Colt hasn't been all that bad really, the O-Line hasn't handled the DL like I was hoping
I disagree with that.

He’s played poorly and the pick sucked. I don’t remember one half from last year where he looked this out of sync—not even Tech. Let’s remember that this is Wyoming.

He just looks off. He looked off before the game.

I wonder if that Cowboys fan actually did his sabotage he posted about.

COlt won't win the Heisman playin like this
unless Tebow will play worsen than him...
Colt has made 4 or 5 horrible decisions
True but, I am blaming it on GD for right now
The int was underthrowen by a mile to Shipley
I think the thinner air has something to do with it.
I counted two bad decisions

and a few passes off the mark. He just looks less like Colt. He’ll be back in the second half.

That's the attitude I am taking
He's played pretty badly. He looks more like 07 Colt then 08
I think a lot of it is playcalling

shotgun = pass, under center = run, it isn’t hard to coach against that

We go undefeated, Colt wins heisman...

It’s that simple..

I bet Mack had a heart attack kicking their asses at the half

Yeah you're right
Exactly!

circa1015 said it best

He needs to use some of that anger on GREG DAVIS
Looking at this thing glass-half-full

There’s time to do something about it. This isn’t Ohio State’s defense or Tech’s offense. And if you gotta stink it up — better a non-BCS team than somebody in the Big 12. Most of the people who rank teams will never see this first half; a solid second half rights the ship.

He said, hopefully.

That's what I said in the last thread

We had this kind of game against Tech and it cost us. Better to do this now than against OSU in Stillwater. Of course, that assumes we win this game.

Does anyone know

Where the OSU Houston game is playing? It’s not listed on ESPN.

Fox Sports FSN
Great...

I had to come home and my parents have this silly satelite stuff that doesn’t have FSN.

Fox Sports Central

FSN

Forget ESPN. Check the TV schedule on BON, friend.

Changed shirt...im ready to go
at least here in CA it is...
Looks like I...

…picked the wrong week to forget to buy the Woodford’s Reserve.

Beer will have to do.

Wyoming lucky...

got some great help from Mountain West official crews otherwise, they ain’t got that TD so easy.

Agree. Horrible officiating.
you are not kidding

phantom unsportsmanlike
BS holding call

Hey same thing that happened at Tech.
don't say it,...otherwise, they won't throw the flag for holding call....pathetic...
that gesture is offended by the crews not the fans, unfortunately..

I’m really pullin for Ohio State after that first half

Boy, this is some old beer UT made me crack out after that first half...
I cant believe I am saying this but

To Colt: stop taking shots and stop throwing to Shipley only ..They know you guys are roommates. You look like tony romo looking for witten right now.

To GD: Please proceed with dink and dunk….they are giving us too much space…oh and go chew out OLs

Im gonna go ahead and blame Chris Simms for this one
I was thinking Phillip Geiggar
I agree

He started the under performance at the QB position.

Forget style points let win this game. TEXAS!!!!!!!
saw this coming in my post yesterday

Why should the result be a surprise – it is set up just like hte ucf game (which I attended). there is no way we can match their emotion in ht egame. You add in our idiocracy (special team and penalties) then here is where we sit. Colt needs to man up and start friggin running to lossen up the zone defense and then let it fly to Malcolm deep. Focus guys this will not be pleasnat but we can do this. Anyone who predicted 50+ point victory is delusional and not thinking clearyly. We will be lucky to get the win and if it is double digits I will be shocked.

no

we will get the win. Wyo will be lucky to win. WE will be lucky to win by 20. Does anyone forget we have the lead? Anyone?

I wasn't nervous until Mack the clapper appeared
clap on... clap off...
have yall heard the Lance Zierlein from 1560 in Houston's impersonation of Mack
one of my good friends

his SEC guy fictional character might be his best

I dont know his post-Tech interview as Mack was so awesome

It brought some humour to a rather dark week, but SEC guy is awesome

Case Keenum

19-25 224 yards and 3 TDS in the fist half

Never thought much of the OSU secondary

But their front four apparently isn’t getting the pressure they need to.

Though the game isn't over, I'm a tad bit confident the horns will pull away. anyone wanna join me at 6th for blowing off steam?
Faith

I have no doubt that Colt is pulling a Tebow and letting his offense know what’s at stake and what they need to do. Game over.

Big 12

is having a tough day.

The mark of a good team is not to panic, coming out in the second half and doing what they do best.

The mark of a great team is

not getting themselves in this position and always playing to their potential..

everyone gets down at one time or another

Its about getting back up

Exactly

In 2005 Texas definitly didn’t play that great in the first half against a bad oklahoma state team.

Agree. The horns have been down before. This team loves adversity.
Five Words

Open Up The Fu*king Playbook!

Changed my shirt.
wish I could of seen that...
Opening drive of 2nd half

I’d love to see them pass pass pass and then a shotgun draw to Munroe.

Speed rules
there we go Monroe!
I kind of like this Monroe kid
got away with a hold there
Kirk wide open for the 1st down
Kirk doing the damn thang
its time to open up a family sized can of whip ass!
Kirk having a good game

Besides a drop pass..

not a fumble

caused by ground

McGee fumbling is concerning me..
Hopefully we're settling down

But then… the obligatory WR screen.

finally GD sees that up the middle works.
2 TDs in less than three minutes after the Wyoming TD
I think that TD pissed them off, and lit a fire under their asses.
We are on track now...
That's how we should of started the game...
Thank you.

Enough of this. We entertained their crowd for a half. No more.

McCoy should never run

It’s dangerous. Other backs need to run. QBs should throw it, not run.

Uh, nevermind

how many times I say

Colt runs better than Tebow…..

Definitely

Far more elusive. Tebow just runs like a fullback, but he’s not as quick or fast as Colt, much less Vince.

I love that he puts his head down.
Let's put 60 on them now..they deseve it..
nah, they dont...those kids are jacked up to be playing texas...excude class UT!
Love the result...

Hate the option.

so, are we confident enough to kick onside? nt
No not with the way our ST is playing.
Man...

I’d say that half-time ass reaming was effective.

Either that or the Gatorade...
"Oh no! We're gonna lose the game"

No need to keep rubbing yourselves in anguish folks. We’re Texas remember?

BUT USC IS GOING TO PASS US!!!!
waaaaaaaaaa!

;)

What happened to the Surrender Monkeys?
Admit that was a horrible Half. So BAD
Would love to see the D force a turnover right now to take Wyoming out of it...
The offense just realized they can't let the punting team back out on the field
man up

McCoy run = good results
Now Lets kick it off (in-bounds) and rough ’em up on D!

Hook ’Em!!

Score at the end of the fist half and beginning of the 2nd

Break’em that way…

Our guards look like shit, let's give Allen some reps
Let's go Will, dial up a shutdown series right now!
Running the Ball

….only good things happen when the defense has to play the run first. To bad we can’t establish the run first and then fast. Wonder why we do not do that. Just wondering.

Did you guys catch that lingerie ad?

Amazing

Do you like those male enhancement ads? :-)

Newton getting some snaps with the first team...

good to see…

Ucf, utep, wyo we started slow each time
overrunning the play
Aaron Williams
Williams!
Your man crush on him has got to be growing with every snap
now!!! game on!! run up the score!!
Aaraon Williams is a stud..
Aaron Williams with the strip

Big time play

We might cover yet

Not that I officially care, of course

What about...

unofficially?

RUN UP THE DAMN SCORE!!! GIMME MY MONEY!
lol...i like the big fave on the road waaaaay more than at home.
Throw it in the end zone
Great play Williams!

Acho has a great nose too

poor run. 3rd and 6. nt
me thinks AJ has been reviewing some DJ
why is mcgee headed straight in?
Watching the game at a friend's place...

every time she leaves the room Texas plays well again… how do I kick her out of her own place?

well, do you care about winning? nt
just explain it to her.

I’m sure she’ll understand.

Not impressed with McGee

Me either..

All he is good at it is eating up carries…

McGee hurt

Time for someone to step to the table.

Holding negates 1st down
OLine

leaving a lot to be desired.

OL looking like sooner OL
omg with the holding calls
That was awful

C’mon Adam. Move your feet.

Deep out to Shipley.
we need to go for this!
Newton impressive
agreed

he seems to know how to get open

Some conferences actually call holding.

Don't you wish we could have had those calls in the Tech game.
nice job there by newton
go for it on 4th down!
Go for it -- no brainer
Cody for the first
OGB Jr. Love it
We need VY to come back and run the ole 3rd and 20 draw
Tre Newton... knew that kid had it in him...
So predictable
jesus, we should just f*ing run the ball with cody
our line is gettign worked over
wow that was stupid.

just line up and punch it.

Yep

Fake fg was a waste

anyone know Vince's stats against tOSU?
Dumb - and a major message of no confidence for the running game
Everyone knew it was fake

good god, Mack!

Hate that call...

if you’re going to go for it on 4th and 1, just line up and trust McCoy to make a play. We’ve shown that Shipley over the middle play too many times over the past couple of years.

should have just put mccoy up there. no need for a fake
Awful play call

Anyone who scouts us knew it was at least a 50-50 call we’d fake it. If you’re going to go, then go for it.

When the line is playing like this...

You do a fake field goal..

Even I saw that coming. Surely they watched last year's KU game.
Damn

1st down Wyo

Mack's a dumb ass
Stupid stupid

In good news, I got a good feed on the OSU-Houston game. By the way, Dez Bryant just returned a punt. 24-21 now.

NO RUNNING GAME

Greg Davis is a stupid ass….You tell me that we could not pound Wyoming? We have problems if we cannot do this two a second tier team.

Robinson stepping up
Keenan is everywhere!
Pokes score again

24-21 now

The other Pokes, fortunately
oh well... it was fun while it lasted.
great coverage by ET
coaches today

I guess even coaches have bad games

Earl Thomas is incredible
earl thomas is nails
great stop by D

4th down

now, dammit, it's

OUR turn to block a punt

shipley td calling it
Offensive Crodinator

Whem Muschamp takes over, I hope he gets someone that has fire like he does. Someone who is not scared to RUN the ball.
Will that be Major?

THe D has a had a great game
good point by the announcers chatting abouty mack showing some stuff
sounded like some BS to me
agreed

And sometimes, the guy gotta execute. Punt the damn ball, Justin. Block on that fake FG. Etc.

Have we just given up on punt blocking?
Good stand...let's see some o
D is owning...this game should be 20-0
Ok...

88 yard drive please.

but writers will see otherwise...
we went short passes all game long

we set up for a long one now

Why isn't DJ fielding the punts and KOs.
Do it like we did in the 2 minute in the 1st half
not sure but shipley is missing that magic touch. he is being covered like bill clinton's nuts
TD Michigan

Up 23-20, extra pt coming.

Lets get DJ into space
damn...

michigan just took the lead on ND

love the buffalo wild wings commercial
Tate Forcier is damn good
supposedly DJ is not good with catching punts
For some reason

I really don’t care too much about the MI-ND game, other than the fact that I’ be delighted to see Lou Holtz shut up for once.

yes, praying for a MI win for that reason alone...sthun!
keenum is lighting it up
I actually find that Versus

sideline gal is pretty cute

Did anybody see the Colorado vs Colorado State game

FSN played the same 4 commercials the entire game. It was pitiful and very tough to make it thru that game..

No complaining about commercials . . .

. . . until you are forced to watch a Nats or O’s game on MASN.

Damn this game got me sick.
We miss you, Chris O...
Charley

Maybe if ND fires Charley we can get him to be our offensive cordinator

McCoy for the 1st down!
the only way that we have a running game

is for colt to risk his life and run zone read

Ship with the big gain!
starting to click ladies and gentlemen...
The way Wyoming is covering...

I think Mccoy might be able to get 5 yards every play rushing.

wyoming is looking flustered
Did you know that Colt's and Shipley's fathers

Were roommates too?

Everyone have a drink
or at least starting to look frustrated
We should get free beer

every time the announcers say roommates

Start a drinking game…

Is that the first reference to roomies today? Or did I miss one?

NEWWWWWWWTON!
Wow...definitely making a case for more snaps.
huge run by Tre Newton!
Run

We cannot have a running back run it, but we will have our start QB run it up the middle. If he gets hirt, then I can go to the run because we will have to start a freshman and I do not want to burden him with to much. Hope it does not happen, but that will be the excuse. JUST START RUNNING THE BALL!!!!!

There we go Newton..
That's what I'm talking about.
Has Buckner been back since that knee thing?

Haven’t seen him

i say at least 2 more tds this quarter
SEE

They are playing the pass. If we would just line up and pound it we will kick their ass all over the field.

McGee is back now
Tiger just shot 62

in third round. Course record. Leads by seven.

I just find it ironic that Nate Newton's boy...

is a scat back.

been on game cast

back to TV now and trying to catch up. Injuries?

colt and the altitude ..... hmmmm
Enough of this altitude crap..
I think it is valid. Look at far our kicker is putting it out of the endzone.

He hardly ever makes it in the endzone.

YESSSSSS!!!!!

NICE COLT!!!

oh yeah, where's that barrel dude now?
2008 colt

comes back

I am breathing regularly agaiin
Nice escape, again
THAT is why he should win the Heisman

unbelievable play

Weird science

The altitude makes the ball sail

That was all Colt.
Nice play by Colt

Nice run after the catch by Buckner.

Another great block by Newton on the TD play
OK, two TDs this quarter . . .

. . . gettwo more, and we’ll be at a perfectly respectable 41-10. The sky might not have fallen after all.

and...

half of the country doesn’t have the versus network, so no one will really know.

Exactly. Just the final score.
Guess What

Colt’s been working out!!!

Y'all see Newton blocking on that one??
I wonder who taught him that...

hmmmm

This Elusive Colt is

brought to you by The Elusive Shadow!

Great block by newton...horns r puffing alt is effecting them
FYI

Akers used to be the Wyoming coach

TTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think Houston might be in trouble

Momentum squarely with the Pokes now.

Shouldn't have expected a blow out

Wyoming doesn’t look terrible, and the altitude is clearly affecting the players. Let’s get out of this with a respectable final score so people don’t talk about the first half too much.

Wow

Un-acceptable

Stay at home... pee wee league mistake
I like how their D moves all of the defenders out of the way.
benjamin actually looks pretty good
Yeah, but not compared to Griffith which we'll see against Baylor
That game is starting to scare me.
Their best plays by far have been his scrambles
Wow

Great run by Toston. Pokes up now.

Nevermind. It's a fellow named "Johnson."
OSU goes up on UH

Has Kendell Hunter been back?

Not sure

I’m paying more attention to our game.

Still 3rd quarter with 6 mins left....

Colt should able to score 50 + before the game is over…

so what did muschamp tell the guys at halftime?
The D was NOT the problem in the fist half.

They have been solid the whole game.

its more to our special team mistake...
"I dont know what the hell that Mofu Greg Davis is thinking, but dont let them score
Our

offense is screwing us! haha

Good D plus Penalities killed the drive

C’mon Colt!

GReat job Ship!
espn had comment "wyomig eye upset bid over Texas". We need to run the score up!
It's a three score game

ESPN is grasping now.

leave no doubt!
OK, throw to the endzone on the first play
lets run Newton and Monroe

seen enough of McGee this game

Rollin' along now

WTF!!

GODDAMN OLINE why do you suck so much
There is no reason

Why Colt doesn’t have more time than that.

Go For it..Screw this...60 or bust..
Wow

3 rushers…and Colt doesnt have time to throw

offensive line being really offensive right now
only rushed two and still got tons of pressure
The O-Line SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
....

I guess our O-line wants to lose to Oklahoma, because if they play like that against Gerald McCoy and company, that might be the result

Buckner to convert 4th down
Buckner a great safety valve
Christien(sp) dropped the F-Bomb
Ship 1st down!
clicking along now...
keep it moving boys
Shipley always knows how to get open

Even though he’s the guy who gets the most attention among our receivers.

TD Tre Newton!
Newton is stepping up

Nice.!

I seriously think we should start Newton
Niiiice!

McGee, I like you… but your PT is in trouble now.

Tre Newton... awesome !!!!
Almost go the roommate reference...and touchdown!
lol. I was waiting for it.

Was ready to get the drinking game on.

he has size and speed
Give Newt more carries
Cover, cover, cover!
Tre will start next week
Ok...20 more points should be good.
Brandon!

didn’t know you were a horns fan

Hells yeah I'm a horns fan.

Wearing my Stars sweatshirt, Cowboys t-shirt and UT shorts and slippers right now.

9 points to cover!!!!!
Fozzy is the man when healthy.

Does anyone know how badly he is hurt?

Fred!!!!!!!!

Akers was a good coach. He actually had a good run here. He wasn’t a good old boy and that really hurt him the long run.

And he wasn't Mike Campbell
Is it just me

or does Akers resemble Jerry Jones?

I actually thought he looked like DKR
Fred Akers on the tube... I remember wearing a "Fire Fred" shirt back in my college days
OSU Coach

must have given the “I’m a man! I’m 40!” speech at halftime.

Okafor Sighting.
Big Nate is a proud papa! Great job Tre!
Ben Alexander

is sporting the porno stash

our D just makes me happy
Yuck.

Poor tackling there.

Chykie needs to tackle better!
who missed that tackle?
Come on Curtis Brown...Tackle someone please!
shut them down D!
man, Houston is really having a good game today!
Yeah...if you ignore the two offside penalites..
of course, I only look at his positive plays...
Secondary needs an interception bad
Offsides...damn
So where's the poster who guaranteed a loss at the end of the first half?
Yeah really... get a grip.
But he said he watched a lot of football, so he knew.
late flag?

WTF

what the hell?
good call

wrap him with the back arm

Great coverage, Aaron
Can't throw on Williams
cover your face with your hand, fair is fair!
who keeps jumping off sides
Lamar Houston....

Hes right in front of the ball…totally uncalled for..

pin your ears back fellas
C'mon D

let’s create another TO!!!

Lets go boys!

TEXAS!!!!

this one is over...what i want to see is Wyoming

be kept under 19 and Texas put up 55 or more.

Two failed QB sneaks by Houston

4th and goal

nice to hear a Texas Fight in Wyoming!

houston back up on OSU

time consuming drives to wyoming are very irritating
52-10

I’m happy with tha

Illegal Shit?
Haha, and what would that be?
probably something that would get you banned in the off season.

but then you could still play in the on-season…

Justin Chaisson Bowel Movement
Failed to convert!
Sergio must be going crazy

so close

He's going to be plagued by bad stats this year

but there will be nothing wrong with his performance

Newton 1st down run
Newton keeps looking great
Anyone find the

season ticket graphic interesting ?

Roughly 2,000 person increase with a game with UT on the schedual

TD Michigan, up 31-20

early 4th Q.

Lou Holtz emphatically predicted a Notre Dame win

And dared everyone to tune in to College Football Scoreboard afterwards to see him gloat over Mark May. It’s amazing how much of a homer he is, and that alone might be enough for me to want ND to lose here.

I like Newt running!
Colt and Tre

have changed this game..loving that combo.

DJ Monroe?

Shouldn’t he be getting a snap or two?

Why? Dance with who brung you.
granted

but you still want to continue to work him into the offense with Colt

he’s got a time and a place, the coaches’ll use him when its right.

PB... i love This place.
Hook 'em
Amen... you still up there in golden domer land?
ball flys in that air
Bingo
Serious question - do QBs have to compensate when going deep at that altitude?
dincha see the male enhancment commercial?

they need compensation.

thanks for making my day....

how big a difference does it make? mccoys overthrowing receivers alot due to that?

Has anyone noticed a sharp increase in the male enhancement commercials?

Is evolution resulting in smaller johnsons or something?

more male insecurities + $$$ = more advertising

Oh yeah. Diet pills, Hair growth, and mail enhancement.

We are an insecure bunch.

Call me stupid.

But is this male enhancement stuff designed to make your junk bigger or last longer?

gives you a bigger golf swing and turns your wife into a '50s big hair
Wow, the Cowboys has a tough time to deal with Houston

Who would thought that after they beat Georgia…

I think Georgia is the 5th or 6th best team in the SEC
For real?

5th or 6th best team in SEC?

i thought they’d have a shootout and be pretty equal to be honest, i think OSU will still come up on top

Possibly...

Georgia isn’t that good.

michigan scored again
Ha ha ND, they suck again
OSU is moving quickly after a good return

Looks like they’ll take this back or at least tie it soon.

False start on the center?

That doesn’t happen much!

Gilbert warmin up on the sideline
Chris Hall = Colin Brandon
I am more and more concerned about that game...
Carta-Samuels in at QB now
Colt McCoy concerns me...it seems like we are seeing the older version of him
rather have it happen here and now then later in the year
still doesnt excuse his subpar play

lets put off the comparison to VY for a long long time

Why?

34 – 10 after 3 in the altitude concerns you why?

his throws are quite off today
This Bo Johnson guy is interesting

Can’t wait to re-watch the OSU game more closely.

TD, OSU, by the way.

Calvin Howell with the sack
missed an open tackle

again…damn

Eff...

Almost, Earl Thomas.

Shoulda been a pick 6 for ET

again

our guys are breathing hard
Curtis Brown Baby!!
OOOOUCH!

Crunch. That was like the hit Reggie Bush took in that playoff game.

Earnest with the sack!

Where is the game feed??

HAH-kick A! nice sack

huh-he huh huh huh.

the mod got pissed off

and switched it to UH vs OSU. Uncool.

you must be watching the same one as me
yup. on justin.tv

at least the other option is entertaining..still not Texas though

There's another feed

Sorry, can’t get the link here — watching on my other computer, but it can still be found

justin.tv/mineshaft
Ship a good return
penalties.... damn
number 10 has been retired....
holding brings it back
Glad they took ET out from returning kicks..
holding brings it back
there is no No. 10 on our team
who is number 10?
Holding by #10?

Didnt we retire that guys jersey?

Hey what to the unsportsman like conduct against Wyoming
*no on the
*call

fever is getting to me I just need to stop.

how the hell is anyone wearing VY's jersey?
Naturday: anyone else notice the crunchy sock on top of the fridge?
no

all I saw was the hot ass hispanic chick with pizza

it was his date before the chick showed up- look for it next time.
IT WAS VINCE!
He is like ChucK Norris. You never see him coming.
Chuck Norris puts the 'laughter' in the word: slaughter

slaughter

If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.
Chuck Norris doesn't sleep. He waits.
take away that guys burnt orange jersey
Vince Amazing

Busted on the the field with no one but the officials seeing him..

why so much pressure on Colt with that O line?
they have to be winded
UH driving the ball into OSU territory
UH is supposed to be pretty good, right?
good catch for buck!
buckner becoming quanish
So, SEC?

Bad offense or great defense? You tell me. This is a shootout, while Georgia posted 10

Great catch by Buckner!
So Is Colt coming out after this series.
I'd guess yes, especially if we score
newton reminds me of charles
Newton for 5-6 yards

again

Newt... north-south running....love it
colt has to come out after this series...no injuries
touchdown UH...off a tipped pass on 4th and goal

They take the lead!

UH INCREDIBLE TD!

Houston scored. Damn

4th and goal for Houston

Touchdown on a deflected pass

did they get it?
4th and goal at OSU 6

UH trying…

Ridiculous TD by Houston...
AWESOME!

No. We need the Pokes to win every game, except of course, UT.

not awesome..

hurts us in the computers.

you guys are just getting to see what we SLC fans saw for three years
Horns vs. Coogs today...who wins based on the play you are seeing?
That's

kind of impossible to compare.

Is the UT game still on justin.tv?
Good lord, a Perriloux highlight
Chiles yes yes!!!
Tray Allen with a great block!
That guy got run over

Sucks for him.

Nice White Trash Finger by the Wyoming lady
dang. I'm rewinding.
So I didn't imagine that...
Prettiest play of the game
So cool for Chiles to have a role w/action
last series for colt i guess! good finish
BAAAD Start NICE Finish
Bad Joke?

Did you guys really see a Horn wearing #10?
I don’t see anyone on the roster, and that would be unacceptable:
http://www.mackbrown-texasfootball.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/tex-m-footbl-mtt.html

mistake by the refs

…again

Ok.. thanks. My blood pressure is back down.
Still need 2 more scores...Put it in the 50s..
We need a FG and a TD with a 2pt conversion

I refuse to win by a score other than 52-10.

Where is that guy that said we are dropping in the polls now?
He's not posting right now.
WE SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm still here, and I said it could be a possibility.
i am still here
foot in mouth?
i said that along with a condition

“if we play like how we did in the first half”

Yeah but you gotta have faith that would not last.
I look at the depth chart

for today’s game but I didn’t see Newton on the roster at all. Even McGee got hurt, Johnson and Monroe should be the one who filling in.

Kudos to MB to let him play today:

http://www.mackbrown-texasfootball.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/fb-depth-chart.html

They brought him in for a 3rd down conversion

He made a great play…so he stayed

He's really shining today....
Special teams is killing Houston

Another great return for OSU.

If Houston able to beat the Cowboys at their house,

We cannot afford not to otherwise, good luck on the poll…

OK Gilbert...go get you one!
OSU fumbles in Houston territory
Let him loose!!!
Agreed

Hopefully last week wasn’t an aberration — let the second team explore the whole playbook.

2nd team Offense

This is the fastest 2nd team in the country. Monroe, Goodwin and Hales. Amazing..

After all these commercials

I’m not sure I’m ever going to be potent again

You know it is really ridiculous.
as a person caught in the DTV-VS cage match, props to the person with the linksadoor connection
Houston ball. 5 minutes left!
we want houston to win
how do you figure?
Don't we like our Okie Lite Brethren being in the top ten?
An upset is brewing in Stillwater

Interesting…

i mean ok st
i was about to say...
I can't make up my mind on this one
beating an unbeaten OK St. in Stillwater could be necessary for SOS
Going undefeated will not matter

OSU can have one loss…who gives a damn

not if an undefeated usc is there.
I'm post-grad at UH

Bite me. ;)

Make no mistake

UH is a good football team!

Very good offense

Special teams and defense, not so much.

I guess they're

good enough to be beating OSU at their place. I’d say that’s pretty good.

Glad to see it too... getting back to the glory days for them.
i graduated from UH as well...and we need OK St. to pull this out
Yes
I'm not so sure

I think 12-0 and we’re in regardless, and 11-1 we’re in trouble. Why not start seeing a lack of confidence brew in Stillwater?

why?

why does UH have to win if we win ALL of our games

Because if our ENTIRE schedule implodes

Our lock is not a lock

I just dont think OSU losing 1 game, implodes our schedule
Wait for the "Big 12 is horrible" narrative to take shape

And you’ll reconsider

But what conference is stepping up in our place in that narrative?
Meh...I guess we'll just agree to disagree Peter

;)

Especially if USC wins and BYU goes undefeated.
An undefeated BYU CANNOT pass an undefeated Texas
If the voters feel that the MW has been screwed enough. they sure could
And you think the voters

dont think UT was screwed enough last year? BYU beat OU, which was injury depleted. While I hate to use that as an excuse, Voters will…

Washington won their first game in over a year.... Good on them!
Did you see applewhite with the signs that was great.
UH cannot run the ball...3rd and 10 to pretty much ice it.
4th and 10...punting...
finally, something positive on special teams!
Gilbert is pretty damn good. ready to see him next year
safety covers the number...im just saying.
we get a 2, and Muschamp pisses his pants
C'mon D - get the safety for once..
Frack

Pick 6. Pokes lose.

HOUSTON SCORED AGAIN
Cue the anti-Big XII narrative

OU and OSU go down in first two weeks. Yikes.

Yup
As long as we don't, I am okay with it!

And SEC, USC narrative to follow.

combined with our poor performance the 1st half.
Our margin against

USC or Cal or Penn State just got a lot smaller.

OSU done

Robinson through a bad pick. Game.

houston scores on defense....
Bryant limping off.
get ready

for the “Big12 is overrated” talk

Well...

I guess I should change my articles to the “State of Missouri.” Just kidding.

So if the "Big XII is bad" narrative forrms . . .

. . . what conference is stepping up to take our place? Pac 10? Big 10?

USC
Or Cal or Penn State
Not worried about them jumping us

But USC, sure.

Not yet

Down the line. If USC wins tonight but Cal knocks off Trojans, then things could get interesting at the end. Penn State has a joke of a schedule. Gets Ohio State at home.

We both know this, we need to win them all. One loss dooms us.

But I don't think the rest of the Pac 10 will carry USC over the hump
second team D needs an interception or a strip
It just means OU and OSU were overrated
Not over rated

Did OSU beat a SEC team last week??? So waht does that say about the SEC being weak if the team that beat a SEC team looses to a Conefrence USA team?

SEC Strength

Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and LSU. Georgia is not in the same category this season.

LSU almost got beat by Washington….SEC is not strong on the field.

"the Pac10" IS USC

so they would get the nod

hey, I hate ou as much as the next UT fan

But bradford going down is a good excuse

it is an excuse…not a good one…Zero U should have someone to step in if they were that good, but they do not. That shows alot about the staff, to not have someone being ready to take over. Maybe that he why he came back, because no one was ready to step in and take the job. Wonder how much Zero U payed him to get him to stay????

Marcus Davis with a sack!
What's the big surprise ?

We knew Oklahoma (the state) sucks

ND takes the lead over michigan

DAMN

Guys...

I don’t think it’s really that serious. Not like there is another conference that is that much better besides SEC.

OK.. not great but we'll take. Like to see them come out next week and kick ass from start to finish.
OKie lite losing is not good for us...
Besides...

USC will lose to oregon state or someone they have no business losing too.. thats kind of what they do.

The Big 12 had a good week last week

Other than OU’s flop. Despite our dominance in the second half, you know the media will want to focus on that first half’s crappy performance. Then add OSU’s choke.

41-10, on the road, is a completely acceptable outcome for the narrative
Yeah it is. I am happy.
Yes

We’re fine. Our conference imploding is scary, though.

You know that is why they play the games... any given Saturday, right?
I'm not sure we've imploded yet.
Till next week folks ...Hook Em!
Hook'em Horns!!!

Pray for nice weather for our tailgate on next Sat.

OSU knocking on the door
USC will lose to Ohio St.
So, PB, question

Are you saying that Texas was being projected in the preseason to go the the championship game based not their own strength but on the strength of the other 11 teams in the conference?

That's part of it

SOS is part of the formula and part of what voters take into account. You can’t ignore that.

Of course it can't be ignored . . .

. . . but I just don’t buy the fact that Texas will be punished for the sins of the rest of the conference, particularly when the Pac 10 isn’t as strong.

I’d be much more concerned about this if USC were the #1 team and Florida the #3 team.

Another way of looking at this . . .

Were any of us really thinking that USC’s chances were severely harmed while we watched Oregon lay an egg at Boise?

looking like this is our yr again...
PB will we have an SC tOSU thread?
who is tech playing this week?
how many players have had consecutive 350 yd games? just curious?

is there a stat for that?

See y'all in Austin next week

I’m going to my first game at DKR, ever. Hook ’em!

we have to root for Ohio state tonite...

the big 10 is doing badly too with Michigan state being upset by C Michigan today.

so an undefeated big 10- team does not hurt us as much
osu lost 45-35

so I guess they’ll be in the MNC game?

TD MICH

with 12 sec left…

Suck it ND, Lou Holtz and the Fighting Irish loving media

ND done

I’m watching Lou Holtz today.

i want to too...

somebody dvr it and put it on youtube…

As you know,

Lou can always find another argument that in the end of the regular season, everyone will be a one loss team….
