Saturday Afternoon & Evening Open Thread

The Horns took care of business in Ames earlier today. Even without a marquee night game, there are lots of intriguing matchups still to kickoff.

I'm most excited to see Texas A&M at Texas Tech, LSU at Kentucky, and Missouri at OU. For the complete listing, see the TV guide below.

Post your non-Texas gameday comments here.

The state of Nebraska

officially resigned from the Big 12 in football today.

Sad fact is, as long as this coaching staff stays intact, Husker fans will move to apathy.

I'll use the line before any of you sunsabitches uses it.

We have the dumbest coaches in America.

Go Big Red Nebraska!

Study in Contrasts

A&M ran the ball down Tech's throat to jump to early TD lead, but Tech went right back down the field through the air and with the wind as they changed ends.

A&M's secondary looked helpless on the last five pass plays.

TD Tech

Another easy drive. A&M rushes three, Tech runs the ball for 5+ yds. A&M inches up and Tech hits them over the top.

The wind is really a factor. A&M needs to take some time off the clock with their next driver. Otherwise, they will quickly be down at least two scores.

14-7 Tech. 8 min left in the 2nd.

14-7 Tech

They actually ran the majority of their plays on the ground on this series, but man does the Aggie secondary suck!  Colt should really be able to feast on them this time around.

I don't think either of Goodson's fumbles were actual fumbles. He was on the ground on the first one and had definietly stopped his forward momentum on the second one.

I'm sure the Tech radio homers disagree though.

Aggies Classless and Soulless Program

Teams eventually model their coach - and that explains the classless play of the Aggies over the last few years.  Late hit on Harrell - beyond dirty.  Late hit on McCoy - beyond dirty.  Let the AD back their piece of shit coach and make a joke of the program.

Our soft coverage and their crossing underneath stuff is a terrible combination.  Throw in the fact that we do not have a dominant run game and look for Tech to roll by our beloved Horns.  Just a terrible matchup for us.

by mattw on Oct 13, 2007 4:42 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Leach

is calling a nice game. As long as A&M is only rushing three, he is going to run the ball and occasionally hit them over the top.

Darnell is shortening the game by forcing the run but they're about to fall behind by three scores. Not good for Aggie fans and certainly difficult to overcome if your offense can't pass.

I think you might be suffering OU hangover

Chase Daniel will be the great equalizer. I look for a shoot-out at worst, a Missou win at best. TOs might dictate on this one.

by whills on Oct 13, 2007 5:25 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I'm basing this on

OU's dominance in Norman. Aside from the TCU surprise a few years ago, it seems like every time OU plays a "big game" at home, they pretty much roll - Miami, Alabama, etc.

by BrooklynHorn on Oct 13, 2007 5:30 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

And they just gave the numbers

Stoops is 50-2 at home. Both were surprise upsets if I remember correctly, I think one is TCU and the other is Oklahoma State.

He gets them ready for the big ones at home.

Traditionally they kick ass after OU weekend

but this is a capable animal coming in, a predator on par with the OU attack.

The abstractions look great until the shit hits the fan.

by whills on Oct 13, 2007 5:39 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

True

on the flip side, they don't play a lot of big games at home, so the numbers are a bit slanted.

But its my gut telling me this could get ugly. We'll see how reliable my gut is, and then I'll probably go back to analyzing abstractions.

by BrooklynHorn on Oct 13, 2007 5:42 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I had the same feeling early in the week

about Missou. But except for the Nebraska game, I haven't watched them in depth. So my earlier intuition has slipped a little rolling into Saturday.

This will be one of the biggest games for Missouri in a long, long time. They can buy a top 10 ticket with a win.

what a year in college football!!!

LSU goes down...  I think that's the 7th team in the top 5 which has lost this year so far.

What really hurts is the nagging feeling that if Jamaal holds on to the ball and Mack quits being stubbornly stupid about his linebackers we'd be right in the mix.

Oh well...   as a fan, I'm still enjoying the heck out of the year.  I just hope this is the one where six or seven teams end up bunched together with legitimate claims to be the best and blow the BCS wide open...

Yeah,

It was the first loss by a #1 ranked team... in about a week.

There need to be some other descriptions in that statement. Otherwise, it makes no sense.

JC, what were you trying to say?

Sorry...

It was quite late when I posted that...

Via the ESPN boxscore...

The last time a No. 1 team was beaten during the regular season was Dec. 6, 2003, when Kansas State upset top-ranked Oklahoma 35-7 for the Big 12 title.

Still don't get it

Even after reading the article. #1 loses all the time. How often does a #1 team go wire to wire?

#1 Team

beaten by a team with a cat as a mascot?

Re:

Here's how:

  1. #1 USC went undefeated the entire year.
  1. #1 USC went undefeated the entire regular season, until losing to Texas in the MNC (but the article does not count Bowl games).
  1. #1 Ohio State went undefeated the entire regular season as well, until losing to Florida in the MNC.
  1. #1 USC went undefeated as long as they held the #1 spot; they lost to Stanford with a #2 ranking. #1 LSU went undefeated until losing to UK.

Thus, they became the first team to lose as a #1 team during the regular season since OU lost to K-State in 2003 during the Big XII Championship (which is apparently counted as part of the regular season).
