that the channel that will be broadcasting the texas game at 12:30 ET is, at 12:00 ET, broadcasting not a studio preview show, but "Ducks Unlimited TV."

Big XII Football: "hey, at least we don't play on thursdays!"

The lead announcer is a freaking muppet!

did Texas fans not even make the trip?

Cameras way too far away.

so, this announcer doesn't know anything about baseball either.....good to know.

like we're watching the game from the top of the stadium. Terrible camera coverage so far.

Why do networks insist on crappy camera views?

I hope Shipley is not the emergency QB...

That wasn't predictable. I swear.

Erick Jackson is awful

and it worked.  or course it did.

I guess Baylor is going with "Hail Mary Left" as its main offensive weapon today.

is causing problems as the teams are not used to playing during school hours.

Texas needs to win big for this to be considered a sucessful Saturday.

though that may just be the worst camera placement decision this side of porn directors panning to the guy's face during a money shot.

are you guaranteed an announcing job when your career is over?

I guess the wind is a factor, but we're hunting and pecking for yards right now. Not inspiring so far.

at how our young secondary continues to give 9 yard gap coverage on 3rd and 4.....

that Davis tends to go away from what's working.

Chiles in the game...that was quick.

I'm all for playing Chiles in meaningful situations, but for God's sake...call a pass play for the man.

Nice run on 3rd and long though.

having a hard time adjusting to football just coming in from the duck blind...

If the wind's gonna keep us from having an effective passing game, the Chiles package makes a lot of sense.

Its apparent that the running game will be effective today.  I'm just saying that if Davis never calls a pass play while Chiles in at QB, defenses are going to cheat up and he won't be able to make those 3rd and 8 runs for a 1st down.  

Steady as can be.

Nice drive by the second unit there.

Also, it wouldn't kill Davis to use Chiles-McGee with the rest of the first unit, would it?

I think that one is on the staff as well.  Why roll a right handed QB to the left so he can throw across his body into the wind.  We all know that Chiles needs work as a passer but that was a difficult throw.

Is up 7-0 on OU lolz

Interesting practice technique by GuyMo.  Maybe they should have spent a little bit more time on the passing game.  

trying to do too much on that one.  

McCoy's pocket was intact and he just start running to his right. I understand that's mostly served him well, but gratuitous happy feet is discouraged for a reason. Not a good throw, made lousy because McCoy was attempting to throw while running.

Is up 10-7 on #21 Tennessee after 1 quarter

What a catch by Quan

Where was this ISU team last week?  Don't get me wrong glad we blew them out but they are playing some inspired 1st half football.  Here's hopin' and prayin' they can give OU fits for 4 quarters...we need an OU loss.

is the freak.  He needs the ball as much as possible.

I don't know what to say about that 3rd down play.

And a nice follow up on 4th down.  Are you kidding me?

nice facemask by mccoy at the end to top it off too.

Option play with Colt. I simply don't understand.

This is sad.

those last three plays have gone any worse?

Horns should be up 10-0 and kicking off right now.  

this is one of those games where Texas expected a win for just showing up.

Can we get a replay on that touchdown?

Its time for the lackadasial attitude to be challenged.

turn on FSN and watch ISU play today..incredible.

he seems intent on putting himself in situations where he will get hit.  hard.

I can't get excited about a TD for only a 3 point lead over basement dwelling Baylor?  Am I the only one here feelin' that way?

that will fire up the D and they can get a quick stop.

Nice play on special teams.

on that last long play.  he ran all the way around the receiver while coming nowhere near the ball.

he's not helping at all
and he could be rushing

intentional grounding?  Wow...

So much for the defense being inspired.

This team finds new ways to inspire, huh?

Second half open thread will be up shortly.

Why the hell didn't they run a play with a timeout remaining?  

See ya there.
