UTEP Miners @ Texas Longhorns Second Half Open Thread

Horror_medium

Everything's peachy, but it just wouldn't be halftime without this photo....

We needed this. Horns lead 47-7. Colt had a bad pass then a great half going 24-30 for 261 yards and 3 TDs (plus one dropped TD). Hopefully we'll see some Gilbert and Fozzy in the 2nd half.

Going to see

the mythical fozzy?

so what's our injury situation?

aaron?
sergio?

When did Sergio get hurt?
Sergio's hurt?

Be still my heart.

Right shoulder

being evaled now in the locker room.

internet video feed?

justin.tv doesn’t have it suddenly

I'm watching it here

http://l2j-sports.forumotion.com/WWE-h1.htm

you have to register, it’s pretty easy

24/30 for 261 actually

80% completion rate. Just sick!

But… lots of injuries! :-(

Are we sure it isn't just the heat?

Kindle with a shoulder injury evidently. Dunno about AW.

I noticed

Aaron Williams with an ice pack wrapped around his his bicep. I wonder if maybe its a pull of some sort.

I hope it is just the heat. All a little dehydration or cramp means is the guy needs to get some fluids and take a few plays off, in most cases.

What the hell is wrong with CBSSportsline's game tracker?
SUX...that's what. 2nd week in a row with no Craig Way.
They are getting a nasty letter.

One to CBS for the piece of shit web site…buy some f’in servers. Yahoo was able to handle. And one to UT to host their own because I know THE UNIVERSITY can do it.

I noticed our scoreboard on BON

10 points for the 3rd so far and we’re at half. I knew Colt was good but damn!

that's the kind of inaccuracy I can deal with
Jacory Harris..LMAO... 2-9 38 yds at the half

Can anyone say H-E-I-S-M-A-N.

and everyone talks about

how mccoy can’t handle heisman pressure…

I don't know if anybody has mentioned this, but...

FSN sucks

Emily Jones looked good sweating on the sideline though

I believe she was glistening.

I would not turn down enjoy the pleasure of her company

even after sweating all day on the sideline during a football game.

I would probably wring out her clothes and drink away.

she's no Stacey Dales
But she's a gooner....nt
once you get into the workforce, nobody gives a shit where you went to school
Unless you live here in hell.nt
I'm pretty sure I don't live in hell

although sometimes my AC does take a while to crank up

I live in Oklahoma.nt
So I live in hell...

or at least Purgatory.

me too.....

unfortunately… I hate Oklahoma…. and damn I love this team… finally a complete game… and hey… we got a 4th string quarterback…. bet you money stoopy would still have had his first team out in the 4th…. : )

or work amongst aggy.
silly longhorn

Aggies don’t have jobs

Between Cal and the Canes

my ESPN Pick’em score is taking a dive this week.

So both Aaron and Sergio has right shoulder injuries..

great… hope it’s not serious.
We still have two bye weeks till OU game.

Our two top playmakers...Cant afford them to be out for long.
Miami takes the kickoff and marches right down the field. Different team.
Let the U get smoked...

…. then Smoke OU

"Wrong answer"

I watched the 5th Element today too!

Can we see some run plays in the second half?

Only 58 plays so far. We need to get some balance before OU.

I say let's rest the legs. It's a long season.
1st team for 1 series then...

…. run it up with GG et al

Fozzy should be rested

I could really get some yards in the second half and keep the conversation going about who should start.

sorry HE not I. I can't do shit
Texas A&M is thataway
Thanks. Now I have something in common with A&M
Anthony Kedis has an autobiography?

fail

VERY good book nt.
values.com

worst.commercial.ever

I cant believe

we gave up 41 yards in the first half.

C’mon D, step it up!

I bet Coach Muschamp is fuming

41 yards!!!!!!!

“Stats are for losers” means that only losers give up any stats to the other team.

Oregon Scores again 31 (maybe 32) vs Cal 3

Ark is on the board with 7 against 14 for Ala

Piggies finally score

Oregon

is up 32-3!

Horn/ChiBear Steve "Mongo" "Bam Bam" McMichael

inducted into the NCAA HOF.

whills, you should do a write-up on him sometime. please?

See what I can dig up and remember. nt
I've got a story about him for you!!
I guess Cal knows their only shot at beating USC is if they unranked.

91 yard drive and then sit Colt

Concur

I think this is it for him

im loving

Our D. Thanks god that our Offense is helping our defense. Now some GG will be nice to see

Colt under center in the I formation...different.

Tre Newton is doing okay against contact. He can definitely fall forward when tackled.

Looks dinged up after that run tho

yeah, when someone tries to twist your head off after the play, that can happen
I love David Snow at center...

Heh, McGee knew he didn’t have the jets to take it to the house, so he locked up the ball as well as could be. Good thinking.

Best Wild Horn play of the game
I'm going to freak out

if it becomes routine to go wildhorn inside the 10

Chiles needs to hand it off sometimes for his runs to be more effective
Same thing I was thinking.

I Can’t remember a time where he handed it off.

Looks like the team has really settled down and started minimizing mistakes, but man, something has to be done about the stalls inside the ten.

why not just go for it. Instead of just going for the extra point
it is about scoring anytime you are in the red zone.
I would rather see them take the chance when the game is way out of hand.
We're blowing UTEP up and all, but...

We’ve been stopped 3 times from 1st and goal inside the 10 or 5 yard line…

it's because the q package works

in spite of all the evidence to the contrary

Didn't have this problem till we started doing the Wild Horn in the red zone.

Wild Horn in the red zone should be axed.

any word on kindle?
Or Williams, or Vaccaro...anything?

Report from KVET was Kindle is being held out, more because he isn’t needed.

newton hurt as well???

time to remove starters.

Where'd you get that?

He ran on the last series

colt should be done

80% today. Nice game

Roger says

they are holding Kindle out this half. He looks fine, will probably play next week, we just don’t need him any more today. “Precautionary”.

Bob Stoops does not agree with that call
also, who is roger?
Roger Wallace

sideline reporter for AM1300 The Zone. Assists Craig Way and Keith Moreland.

that was a helluva run by Vondrell
Is it customary to keep the first team in to start the 2nd half?

Frankly, I can’t see why we’d keep Colt (and everyone else) in and risk a Bradford-type injury when we’re up by 40 at the half. But I remember seeing this in past blowouts. Any good reason for this?

Make "adjustments"

and then try and execute them

very true

like the i-form we saw.

why can everyone return a kick off well against us?
Blake gets one!!!!!
oh, *NOW* Gideon can catch
never happy, eh?
turnovers are a bit more important at 33-32 than at 50-7
Good for Blake. Way to go!
Now way. Gideon caught a ball?

Wake me please!

gideon interception, for all the haterz
wow, nice pick blake gideon
Gideon can catch
Gideon CAN Catch!!!
Finally Gideon gets one.
first sign of the apocalypse
Goodwin laying the wood. You go!

Inertia has two components. Only one is mass.

looks like someone wants his starting position back
zero to fast

not how i would talk about Von

TCU on top over clemson in 4th quarter
rutgers up on maryland late, too

ACC isn’t looking so hot

McGee is running impressively

but…it is UTEP

I'm guessing Vondrell wasn't thrilled with the depth chart this week.
Gilbert will be better than Colt

Mark my words. He’ll also have better talent around him. Especially if we can get a great running back behind him.

Maybe. Maybe. But then, you don’t seem to think Colt’s all that good, so it might be hard to impress some people.

we held and got away with it
Fozzy stepped out.
Nope. Not when looking at the replay.
fozzy's run called back

too bad

Newton

Neck strain, held out for the rest of the game.

/from Roger

Goodwin? Whittaker?
Fozzy looks good

To bad we had a hold by 13?? Who is that?

Ahmad Howard...I think that's his name...
He's second-team

EBS

...and called back. sux for fozzy
GG to Goodwin looks good.
that was a rocket.
goodwin is going to be GREAT
I think Kirkendol better watch his back.
1st Cody Johnson touch goes for TD.

Awesome.

as it always should.

i second the awesome.

Can you say I-formation. Love it Love it Love it.
indeed

old-school is the best school

our running game is not gonna be a problem for the rest of the season.
It's UTEP. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

nt

Awesome.....

…. first game that we have played like we should play.

All pistons firing.
All time longest gain for CJ?
think ab his thrashing of a&m last season.
60+ is his longest.
CJ...TD!
Fastest burst I've seen out of him.
having no one in a white jersey anywhere near him didn't hurt, either
this is a complete dominance over a lesser opponent.
kickoff returns again
Yep, have some issues there

They need to be addressed.

it seems like this whole team has the "IT" factor. can score from any spot on the field, with any player.
Cal-OR is 39-3

lol

hahahahahahahahaha

Heh, some dude in my FFL cut Dickson, and I picked him up for the minimum bid. Good thing, too, cuz Schiano decided Shamar Graves doesn’t block well enough to catch passes.

Result? Masoli has thrown 11 passes for 148yds. and 3td to Dickson today.

Jacory Harris just throws a BIG interception. VT 24 the U 7
VT is about to score again
looks like UTEP's wildcat doesn't work any better than ours does
UTEP - zero rushing yards before that last 2 yard loss
Nate Newton looks like he got his longhorn gear at a convenience store
Va Tech puts the U away
DeSean Hales sighting
WOW, i just realized that there is still a whole qtr to play.
Tucker on the fake punt

jk

Gilbert’s gettng comfy with the older receivers. That’s good.

Can’t say I like the draw there.

Ben Wells

Nice pic

Nice tackle by Ben Alexander on Ben Wells after the pick.
Counting penalties UTEP is at -16 total yards

Going into the 4th

Fozzy looking healthy..

He’s keeping those feet moving and driving. Pretty good for a little feller.

Only close game is TCU v Clem

TCU 14 Clem 10

TCU ball, 1:18 left

Pittsburgh-NCSU is locked up at 31-31, 8min. left.

only close game anyone gives a shit about, maybe?
:30 SEC LEFT IN THE 3RD

AND I FINALLY GET THE TEXAS BROADCAST ON TEXASSPORTS.TV (i.e. cbssports.com).

THIS REALLY SUCKS.

The Foz

EEEEHHHH!!!

TD Fozzy.

He looks FAST.

Only ten points in the third quarter.

Gilbert’s not quite Colt yet.

blame GD

everyone else does

Gary Danielson just admitted to watching The View
Good to have Fozzy back
can we put in a backup holder too please?
Sherrod Harris is the backup holder.

Let him see the field at least.

Oregon 42-3 with a little time left in 4th

Pac-10…sigh

Land Thieves will be back in the Top 5 by the time we play them.

  1. in the next polls if Iowa takes out Penn State tonight
  2. once LSU loses to Georgia or Florida
ummm

That was supposed to be “#6” and “#5”

Any see the marquis goodwin story?

His long jump in high school would have won the Big 12.

Yeah.

Superb athlete.

Defense wins championships... our is awesome this year!
Hey I just saw beasley on that sack
Go Gazelles!

Wow. Volleyball mentioned on national television!!!!

I guess it was a pretty big win.
Huge

We haven’t won up there in the Big XII era.

Huskers also lost to the Aggies this week, so Texas is a virtual lock to win the conference now.

$Bill Byrne will not bring this up in his Wednesday Weekly.
Heeeey!

They mentioned our Volleyball win over Nebraska finally!

wow

volleyball’s first win in Lincoln since 1988

I had no idea it had been that long

Man, what a lame student section.

in the 4th quarter of a blowout?

what do you expect?

On a 95 degree day.

In between the first two test weeks of the semester.

it's saturday

and they don’t serve booze at the stadium

Well, I was going for the academic reason why some might be out.

But the booze is always an issue.

Flasks

what’s wrong with kids these days?!

I’d be there.

Seven or eight home games per season, can’t you stick out the whole game?

And Beasley actually forced a fumble. Well I’ll be darned.

So the question right now is whether Miami or Cal will be ranked more highly come Monday.

who was that receiving the punt?
Curtis Brown..
I didn't know he was on the list to return punts.

Wow. Today is killing my picks.

Anyone know a good spot to park at the Rice stadium? My wife and I are going for kicks today.

I forgot to make my picks.

So I have the home team in every game…

Sherrod in

weird to see

We're running the hand-off offense now.

Sherrod is our guy!

Harris? Really?

F U Greg Davis.

We're up 64-7

We have more than 1 backup qb that we need to make sure is ready to go

Why not?

Because circa next year

Garrett Gilbert takes every snap. Get his ass ready.

it's 64-7

seriously

I'm not saying play the starters.

Its not unreasonable to ask that the true freshman QB gets more than one series

Shut up and go away.
if he gets hurt because you're dicking around up by infinity

next year doesn’t matter

I suppose

But when you’re up by infinity is when you get the freshman snaps. I don’t think its unreasonable to ask for that.

well, I guess that's why you're not a football coach
There are lots of reasons I'm not a football coach.
Hills laying the wood. Love to see our future out their.
Jeremy Hills

leading with the helmet on that run. haha

like a greased pig
Hills

has a great run and our own guy causes the fumble

lol fumbled twice on same play and I don't think he was even touched by a UTEP player

I’ve never seen a guy fumble the ball twice on one play.

Wow. Better stop eating potato chips between plays, dude.

He was tripped by another longhorn.

Muschamp influences the offense?

Looked like the Nordgren play that went for a TD

best. play. ever.
WTF????????????????????????
Who was that down field

that knocked the ball out of Tony’s hand?

unnamed walk-on #16
He'll

probably wanna remain unnamed walk on.

Brock Fitzhenry.

Not a walk-on, of course.

it was knocked out by our guy
Upside down The U. Love it.
Hokie fans manned up today. Ponchos and all.

Fourth quarter in a blowout, in pouring rain.

That, my friends, is what the student section at DKR should look like right now.

Fair, but I would stand out in the rain for hours to watch anyone beat down Miami.
And it might.

If this was a conference match up between two top 15 teams.

UTEP isn't the #9 team in the country
also, there's not a goddamn thing to do in Blacksburg on a saturday

it’s the most boring college town I’ve ever been to

Hills teammate knocked the ball loose

Weird. Gotta hold onto it better than that though. I see why he isn’t playing now.

D gets a chance to score
All the "problematic" teams for us are down for the count

Except Penn State. They’ll go down later tonight, too.

They lost to Iowa last year right?
Last second field goal, yup.
That'd be nice to see again. Penn State worries me.
hence the white-out today

A co-worker of mine drove up to take part in the whiteout today. Wouldn’t shut up about it all week.

Florida’s up too.

Can't stop Jesus.
Even when Jesus is ill...
the only way to kill the undead

cut off the head

Unless they’re vampires instead of zombies.

zombie vampires!!!!
ESPN

shows the Hills fumble in the endzone as a UTEP touchdown…gotta give them something I guess

ESPN is off by 100 yards, I think
Shouldn't Va Tech jump OU in the polls this week?

They beat a top 10 team, and lost to a top 10 team.

We got three rank teams coming up. Mizzou might be ranked too after this week.

Our SOS is looking good.

They should be ranked behind PSU if the nittany win.
Mizzou? Isn't that a bit much for their first week on the charts?
Please GD

I wanna see Sherrod throw a pass…I feel kinda bad for the guy

do we have the scout team on the field now?
Sending in the intramural team shortly

Eat it Hawkins

hey LH, long time no see
UT is about to start conference play in earnest

It’s time to round into mid season posting form.

how is the LLM program going?
They're not kidding around

2-4 hours of class per day, and about 6-8 hours of work outside of class.

sounds tuff.

wait until you have to bill 2000 hours a year (2200 for partner track, or if you just don’t want to get fired).

It’s not too late for medical school

Yeah, no kidding

The Northwestern Med school is literally next door. It causes the occasional third of a life crisis on the way to school.

But I actually like Tax law, as opposed to sick people.

You'll be in good shape

It takes a special talent to comprehend tax law, and there will always be a market for it.

Yes

So I’m going to bed. Midnight in London, but a great day to be a Horn. Two #2 teams taking care of business.

Amen brother...sweet dreams.nt
running back by committee

so…..is berryhill like 7th string?

nevermind

Trevor Walker? Great for the guys in now.

Is Whaley redshirting this year?
I believe so, he arrived out of shape and buried on the depth chart.
gotta be

At this point, if a true frosh hasn’t played, I think a redshirt season is near certain (unless injuries deplete a position). Think 10 or 11 of the 21 freshmen have played. Whaley, Timmons, 3 OL, coupla LBers and a maybe 2 of the D-linemen are redshirting, it would appear.

Berryhill should start

I’m just sayin

Looks like Jesus and the boys are taking it out on poor Kentucky

24-0 in the first quarter.

This has become an intramural game
Yeah...

We’re going to give up an offensive score now…This sucks.

This game is really

skewing our turnover margin

That's what I was thinking...

We had a great 5-1 margin this game. Now that’s only 5-3. I’m sad.

Beasley, sitting in the receiver’s lap.

they made a nice couple
Damn

just let the game end please…

I want a pick 6 by the scout team
That shot of Trevor Walker was funny.

“Look, ma, I’m actually playing in an honest to goodness Longhorn game!” Heh.

That must be really exciting though.

To be a scout team QB and actually playing on gameday. No pressure; Just having fun.

When was the last time UT scored 70? The conference championship vs. Colorado?

Should have been 71 today.

But Hills fumbled into the end zone.

don't forget those times in the red zone where we had to settle for field goals.
I like

Emmanuel Acho. I know its scrub time, but he flies…

Plus he’s a good kid. In Wyoming, he took the time to talk to my daughter at the hotel before the game.

God, I hate Best Damn Show.

Anyways, they killed our game telecast. Been fun, boys.

Just when you tought it couldn't get any worse

FSN puts the Best Damn Sports show on with 3 minutes left in the game…lol

They’re still showing it here in MD. Weird.

Something with the HD feed on Dish Network Iam seeing.

Ah. I’m watching on CSN.

I hear that dish thing is kind of a pain.

SD feed still has the game on I see.
Ironically, we got to finish the game in Seattle
Florida up 31-0

1st quarter just ending

Urban Meyer must be pissed about playing Tennessee close.
124-0 or Jebow doesn't deserve the Heisman.
Fuck Kentucky

I hate Kentucky

speaking of white-out

our 4th team offense… 11 white dudes.

Berryhill getting some good reps. Like to see him go 8 seconds on Code Blue.

I’m really confused with the offensive approach in the second half. These are minutes that could be used to actually run the plays these could would run if they were in by necessity.

I'm off to Freebird to get a celebratory burrito

Sure wish I could go to Dallas this year, but my cousin gets married that day. Catch you guys in two weeks.

Yep. Let's put 70 on Colorado next game.
They cut off the first part of the game

… and decide to cut off the last part for some idiotic taped show.
I don’t think I seen a live game cut for a canned show.

I guess they got their quota of commercials in with all the breaks due to all the scores.

fox does that shit all the time

nothing you can do about it

Aggy down 3-0 in College Station

don’t forget to send $Bill a text during the game!

This one on TV?
sorry, just saw this

No, it wasn’t televised. I think their next scheduled TV appearance is Thanksgiving?
