Open GameDay Thread: Texas at Iowa State

in Texas Longhorns Basketball
Email
PrintAfter back-to-back losses this season and four straight conference losses, it's time to get the train back on track. Last place and winless in the Big 12 South is nowhere near where the Longhorns should reside. A win over the Cyclones and Gene Chizik can't come soon enough.
Some things to watch:
- How quickly do the Horns start? This is our first early morning kick of the season and the meterologists are calling for temperatures in the 50s, 10-15 mph winds, and the possibility of rain early.
- Who steps up to fill the void left by Limas Sweed?
- Can Brandon Foster and Ryan Palmer play bigger than their heights against the much taller Cyclone wideouts?
- And, as always, how much do we see the young guys (Chiles, McGee, Muck, Kindle, Norton, etc)?

I can't believe
That I will miss everything after the first hour of this game. Tivo'd it, though. PB, will you be posting an "adoption recap" so we can put up a report on our kids? NORTON SMASCH!
PB
is not gonna be around a computer much today. So, I'll try to fill in as best as I can. As you can already see, my MS Paint skills are nonexistent.
I'm sure PB will give all the "parents" a chance to report on their adopted sons later this weekend or on Monday.
I'll take it

YES!!!
My son scores first BIATTCCCCHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Your son is a threat to do just that
... every single time he leaves the line of scrimmage. I just love that skinny white boy.

Busted plays
we should never run a real play. Colt should just get out there and play 7 on 7...
Shipley for the TD on our first offensive play! Good start...
Even better start on O
Colt makes a play with his feet, as Shipley gets behind the D for a 58 yd strike. TD!!!
great start.
good find by Colt! and way to buy some extra time.
let's see...
what we've been waiting for all year is that followed by the young linebackers coming out for the next possession...
by agent orange on Oct 13, 2007 11:53 AM CDT up reply actions
Yeah
how do you miss the kickoff and an offensive play?
Dr Pepper commercials are way more important.
Foster and Palmer
... are our leading tacklers.
Umm, how does that happen?
by patienthornsfan on Oct 13, 2007 11:58 AM CDT up reply actions
And we follow that....
... with terrible coverage.

Face Rape?
Seriously this guy is the color man for a major network?
Is anyone interested in playing some D?
by patienthornsfan on Oct 13, 2007 12:01 PM CDT reply actions
how is that
interference? We made a play on it...
The arrival of the football?
How can it arrive if its in a defensive players hands?
This guys mouth
never stops talking...
Did Chizik
just take our offensive playbook? I would have gone to Blythe up top...
Internet Radio
You can listen to the WOAI broadcast on line. YOu will need a Tivo/DVR because the broadcast is a bout a minute delayed. MUCH MUCH BETTER.

Dodged a bullet there
Are the Horns getting all the breaks this game for a change?
by patienthornsfan on Oct 13, 2007 12:07 PM CDT reply actions
starting LB's
suck. did anyone else notice how all 3 of them weren't involved on half of those running plays.
I want my son on the field! along with his buddies Rod and Jared!
I'm tired of...
the damn upside down hook em sign. Can't the fans of opposing teams think of something new?
At least
we arent getting face raped...
Cosby
I love Quan. I think he might be our MVP this year. He never drops a ball. His returns are always exciting.
Ineligible player downfield?
How does that happen with a Tight End?
by patienthornsfan on Oct 13, 2007 12:11 PM CDT reply actions
I agree
these officials are almost as bad as those jokes in the FSU-Wake game last night...
Colt already over 100 yards!
Me likey.
by patienthornsfan on Oct 13, 2007 12:12 PM CDT reply actions
Anyone else notice...
... we've not run a single running play??
by patienthornsfan on Oct 13, 2007 12:14 PM CDT up reply actions
Is that
our first run play? Did I miss one somewhere?
That's one way to get his attention

Yes they are, this guy is like a bad Frank Caliendo impression of John Madden...
Not that I blame him...
But McCoy definitely gets happy feet and leaves the pocket early. He's hasn't had pressure yet.
by HookeminOKC on Oct 13, 2007 12:15 PM CDT reply actions
What a catch!
I think Cosby may just be able to jump as high as Shipley...
So
I like how quickly they got back to the game this time...
how long is chizik's rope?
he gets to finish the year at least right?
Y'know..
Sitting here enjoying a nice start by the Horns and damn FSN has to show Murray's run from last weekend. Thanks guys...just rub a little salt in the wound.
I swear
I love Dr Pepper just as much as the next guy, but if I have to see that fat guy dancing 15 more times, I think I may switch channels during commercials...
I like how
in his interview, Chizik said that turning the program around would take at least 2 years. And why did he take this job again?
Does their grass
look kinda long and slick to anyone else?
Kindle
just laid a lick! Too bad it was 7 yards downfield...
My boy
Got submarined on that run.
In other scores of interest to Texas fans
Teams ranked ahead of the Horns:
Wake 24, #21 FSU 21 Final
Iowa 3, #18 Illinois 3 End 1st Quarter
#22 Auburn should lose to Arkansas
#20 Kansas should have no trouble with Baylor
#19 Wisconsin should lose to PSU
#17 Kentucky should get demolished by LSU
If Texas has a massive win over ISU and a few other cards fall right, we should be back in the top 20 this week.
Not that I'm counting any galliforms......
by patienthornsfan on Oct 13, 2007 12:25 PM CDT reply actions
Nice hit by Kindle,
but please don't get up talking smack after the back picks up the 1st down.
Why is it that gadget plays seem to always work on the D??
Umm .. that's not Colt
I don't know who the blond kid was when they flashed Colt's stats, but it wasn't our man.
Great Trick Play
Apparently Chizik watched film from last year.
Trick play
Would have been a touchdown last year.
by Ramzlita on Oct 13, 2007 12:27 PM CDT reply actions
Foster, come on!
Should be 4th down right now.
by Ramzlita on Oct 13, 2007 12:29 PM CDT reply actions
Tackle someone!
Foster's midget ass gets dragged for five extra yards!
The D-Line doesn't look that dominant today.
My adopted son looks great today.

Whats the over/under on a huge return by the Quan
by patienthornsfan on Oct 13, 2007 12:32 PM CDT reply actions
let's score again now
PB we need your son to come up big
what ticks me off...
In spite of the fact they marched on us, it took some trick plays; with the veterans, they just ran it down our throats.
by agent orange on Oct 13, 2007 12:33 PM CDT reply actions
This is the sorriest excuse for a defense.
No playmakers out there at all. Linebackers (either set) and line utterly lacking.
yikes!
Chiles in...
by agent orange on Oct 13, 2007 12:35 PM CDT reply actions
He is getting it done
by RemiMagnus on Oct 13, 2007 12:36 PM CDT reply actions
Chiles in
And a run. Think they saw that coming?
Nice FOX, Chiles is a frosh, not a senior
And still no JC
by patienthornsfan on Oct 13, 2007 12:37 PM CDT up reply actions
Jamaal Chalres
still on the sideline. McGee and Chiles in for a series, first time all year (other than blow out time).
I understand
that the staff wants to get Chiles in the game. But, McCoy has torched the secondary on the two drives. Why switch to the run game?
well...
we seem to not like sticking with things that work...

I forgot how bad these clowns are.
They have someone else's (Luke T?) on Colt McCoy's graphic then put up Deon Beasley's face when John Chiles comes in....
Missed two plays coming back from commercial, etc. etc....

I like how
Everyone wants Chiles to play when the game is competitive, then we do it and it's "why are we doin' this dumb shit?!?!?"
Also It's apparently O-bunny-Eh?
He just got
face raped
What did they call no. 3?
Frosh Horns
Allmost all freshmen playing right now
That guy
is an idiot. We know what happens and know he is trying to explain it to us? He is a fucktard...
Up 14-3 in the 2nd quarter
is an ideal situation to insert Chiles and McGee and some of the other youngsters. Waiting until the 4th quarter and up 25 doesn't get them the same experience.
Killebrew, shocking.
Again...
I'm all about getting the kids some PT, but a TD on this drive would have put ISU on the ropes big time.
Good lord...let go of his facemask!
Killebrew..
you have got to be kidding.
Killebrew
What a meat head. How many PF's is that this yaar.
Killebrew face raped that guy..............
what a shocker..
they called Killebrew's number again. Must be a personal foul.
Well, Mack, time to put him in along with his vet buddies again...
by agent orange on Oct 13, 2007 12:46 PM CDT reply actions
Disgusting. Fire his ass.
Hope
than his fingers were caught in the facemask. Otherwise, that was absolutely ridiculous.
his finger was caught in the kid's facemask
weird penalty, weird game.
by cortexas on Oct 13, 2007 12:46 PM CDT reply actions
Killebrew
Why were his hands anywhere near the facemask anyway.
by RemiMagnus on Oct 13, 2007 12:48 PM CDT up reply actions
Must have been caught.
Either that, or he was trying to pinch a fly inside his helmet, and had one finger on each side of a bar.
Mackleroy?
Oh-Bunny-Eh?
Some weird white kid's face for Colt?
FSN<competent</p>
Good God..
The sideline reporter butchered Muck's name twice. Nice to see Fox is running a 1st class show.
Do catch a ball?
We don't have interceptions because the DBs either can't catch, or they fight each other off the interception.
Meyer
This guy has absolutely regressed since his sophomore year. An AF2 team or three may be in his future
Everyone...Please join in
as I start a slow-clap for the magnificent broadcast being put up by Fox. CLAP.......CLAP......CLAP.....
Help me out here
The online stats credit a QB hurry to WR James Kirkendoll. Obviously that's not right. But he shares a jersey with Keenan Robinson. He's not in the game is he??
by patienthornsfan on Oct 13, 2007 12:51 PM CDT reply actions
Never mind
They changed it to Lamarr Houston
by patienthornsfan on Oct 13, 2007 12:53 PM CDT up reply actions
wow..
FSN is terrible. Mack Le Roy? put Deon Beasley's face on Chiles' slide?
They even mistakenly referred to Scott Derry as "Auston English"
__
I've noticed
that a lot of announcers and/or spotters cannot understand that Texas (as well as many other programs) have players with the same jersey number. That's how you end up with Beasley playing QB.
And the passing game is back

nate jones.
nice block
JC has always run with the ball in his right arm
by cortexas on Oct 13, 2007 12:55 PM CDT reply actions
not exactly
when the situation merits it, running backs switch arms. every single one of his fumbles this year has come with the ball in his left arm.
TD Charles!
by RemiMagnus on Oct 13, 2007 12:56 PM CDT reply actions
Duplicate numbers
are the dumbest thing ever.
There are 99 available numbers available and travel squads are limited (55?) by NCAA rule.
Beyond coaches inability to say no to the fourth string Will linebacker, there is no reason for duplicate numbers.
Did anybody else hear that?
"This guy runs the 10.1 in the 300 meters"
AKA: Faster than the speed of light
Someone please tell me you heard this. Please rewind if you didn't. On the replay of him going in the endzone.
I heard it
Whats even more remarkable is that he confused his time with a race that doesn't exist.
One of the best drives all year
QB debate = OVER
Good Play Calling Today!
Pass first, now there is room for JC to run. Nice job GD!
OSU 31 - NU 0 in 2nd Quarter
wow.

by cortexas on Oct 13, 2007 12:57 PM CDT reply actions
Man...
these runs make those fumbles even worse. Its a shame that someone with JC's talent puts in on the ground so much.
Mack should make JC carry a ball with him at all times (a la "The Program) and if someone knocks it out...its running time!
i do think JC's arm/elbow is hurting
meathead from fox mentioned this and i think he's right.

Great
Kill is hurting us. Even worse, no replay.
Wow..
I swear to God...Killebrew needs to have a seat. That is ridiculous!!
If JC gets "punished" for the fumbles, same punishment needs to be handed out.
Killebrew is beyond belief.
Fox sideline reporter
Really creeping looking. Needs to tone down the plastic surgery.
We have no idea what happened w/ Killabrew...
because Fox didn't show it!

1st and 10 at midfield
Why not go for another Shipley bomb at that point?
by patienthornsfan on Oct 13, 2007 1:06 PM CDT reply actions
the first one wasn't really called
colt just rolled out and the safety bit, thinking colt was running after the corner let shipley get behind him thinking he had safety help. ship was wide open. sort of a broken play.
but hell, why not call it this time?
Colt over 200 yards now
Anyone know what the record for yards in one half is?
by patienthornsfan on Oct 13, 2007 1:07 PM CDT reply actions
Time for another JC TD
Let's see if he can do 2 red zone TD's with no fumbles

anyone else notice
that with 1 or 2 exceptions, the o-line has protected extremely well so far? colt hasn't been touched in the pocket.
Not that I don't like cometitive games, but...
I am glad this is not close. My heart is glad to have a weekend off.
O-line protection & Colt
This game just shows what Colt can do when he gets decent protection. Our O-line can handle ISU. But ISU sucks. If they can handle better teams, we can beat anybody.
first turnover
now would be the time to get the first turnover for us. when iowa state is in desperation 50 seconds before the half.
Iowa St fans
On the camera they are showing one finger. Does this mean they are number 1 or that they are going to finish with 1 win?
Kindle tackles the return man
... no penalty. See how that works, Kill?
by patienthornsfan on Oct 13, 2007 1:13 PM CDT reply actions
Its been a rough couple of weeks...
but at least we're not Nebraska fans. Did anyone at any point in time think that the Huskers would ever get beat down by Missouri and Okie St.?
Ahem.
Colt McCoy offense: 4 TDs
John Chiles offense: 3 yards and a cloud of dust
This is not Old LBs vs. Young LBs.
Oh yeah
Norton has one tackle on ST, is that it? He missed an arm tackle in the 1st.
Mizzou
is good. But I guarantee the Sooners won't lose by 35 tonight.
Pretty funny...Vegas is giving Nebraska 3 1/2 points in the 2nd half. So the experts think its going to get worse!
