ABC in my region is going illinois vs ohio state, which is weird. i usually get the big xii matchups.

and the cable company wont let me purchase the game or the week on gameplan.

if kindle is playing?

I had forgotten what it was like for Texas to get a close call in its favor.

the run game is looking good. let's keep pounding away baby!

then illinois RB with a long run to the 3, he fumbles it, but the refs blew the call....

shoulda been buckeye ball at the 20 (OSU recovered fumble in the endzone), but illinois scores on a 3 yard pass...7-7...

i know this is the ttu-texas thread, but i only got this game on tv, so you're gonna get odd updates every now and then.

good play recognition.

14-7, less than 6 minutes in the books

They may have to redo the whole line. Sad for him.

your prediction was dead on, currently: Mizzou 40, A&M 26

There's gonna be more before the day is over.

nice!

but 6 is 6

Tech had everyone up and we didn't care, just punched it in anyway. That's what we're looking for.

in quite some time. Tackling is crisp, even the LBs, little yards after the catch for Tech, great lateral pursuit. Great running by JC, great work by the line and the occasional good pass. Pass the gravy.

To be watching (listening) to the game with all of you BONers again this week.

history of the football helmet radio:
http://www.profootballhof.com/histor...

when did they stop calling plays in from the sidelines to the QB in the NFL?

Harrel is getting too much time, hitting mid range at will.

tell me again why we waited until the Nebraska game to run him like this?

by Shipley I think that set JC free on that 35-yard run.

Outstanding JC!

Nice little roll out pass and Oggy did a fine job pulling it in.

what a "pooch kick" is and the rules with respect thereto?

Any coincidence his initials are the same as Jesus Christ?  I think not.

Best 1st half of the year!

squib is low kick, pooch is sky kick.

really taking it to #1 tOSU today...this game is pretty competetive.

1st half ending...should be 21-14 illinois at the half.

I keep waiting for them to make a mistake.

to give front four the time to get to Harrell.

HUGE

my radio link won't load right now, and gamecast isnt updating...

INT...end of half?

I'm "watching" in Hong Kong via Gamecast.  How ugly was the interception? (badly overthrown, stripped from receiver, etc.?)

to whomever kidnapped Greg Davis before the game.  I'm sure the judge will let you off easy if your lawyer can get the case tried in front of a Longhorn fan.  Or did Mack just convince Greg that it was already the 4th quarter at the start of the game?  I know this is complicated stuff, but given that TT has trouble stopping the run, the fact that we are actually running it amazes me.

Otherwise run JC for 350-400 yards and outscore them. An 11-point lead is not safe.

Traditionally, you must pressure receivers and cut off short routes to give time for the rush to get there.

I've only seen the dbs come up on the wrs a couple of times so far. And obviously, that's also dangerous to us with our coverage.

At this point, it's a shoot out.

and not the fourth quarter in a game that might be decided by a FG? hmmmmmm

to get a FG, minimum, at the end of the half.

atleast we can try to score on our first drive of the 2nd half. we get the call first.

28-14, 3rd qtr, tOSU in troube now, and Illinois looking really good on D.

no 2nd half thread either?

hope it's not too serious. We need him!

Nice Ball Control!

unfortunately we lost JC but Tech gets their first drive with 8 min left in the quarter. SWEET!

anybody have another way to get the audio?

on 4th and inches on their own 30 and got it.  ballsy

illini converts 4th and inches...driving...clock ticking.

My nephew's budy was an OL for Navy when they played TT in the Houston Bowl several years ago.  Navy, to a man, regarded TT as the most classless team they played all year.

converts big 3rd and 7, now at the 50....4:20 and counting...tick, tick, tick

illini converta AGAIN on 3rd and 10 this time...3 mins to go and ticking away....2nd and 4, ball around the 33.

that could seal it

Good ball control, lets continue in the 4th quarter, punch it in to go 22 up.

...but my nerves have been fairly in check today - maybe it won't take me so long to wind down post game time...

OH ST loses....wow

to the Texas game. please no local news.

tOSU and illini fighting a little in the field...dunno if it was provoked or what...please, "lets go to austin"

That Ron Zook couldn't coach.  Oh, wait, I guess they did.

We're stealing all the time. Even a FG is ok now.

Texas needs to stay aggressive on both offense and defense.

kick off the f'n ball.

goddamnit, took 25 secs to get back to w/in 10 pts.

Some D would be nice when they are on the field

And more points.

Lets ride our horse

Having JC and Finley back is great, but Colt is the one to do it.

on the next possession

pounding the turf in frustration. heh

by sun devils...ball at the 3...24-20 ASU, :37 remaining.

Ouch

switch it to the texas game now. damnit.

Mr. Ex-Football Player Commentator Guy.

Great play, fine agility.

A pot for how many scores still left in this game?

pick by kill?

.....

ESPN picks up FSU and VT

we've ever scored against Tech...sweet!!!

What a letdown...

Nice work Akina, you giant fuck stick

Very efficient.

Now maybe we'll see Chiles.

This game is just giving me a headache.  Tech games always do.  Avast that dreaded Pirate of Lubbock!

We should find some hot tubs and ice baths, heal up and get ready to beat down little brother

What happens if Mike Leach ever finds a defense?

put your helmet back on, son, you're not a coach.

So, I found your name on one of the comments and after clicking the link, realized you're out here in Charlottesville, too!  I graduated from the greatest school on earth in 2006 and am at UVA for med school.  We should get together and keep up with Texas sports together!  I'm not trying to be a creepy weirdo or anything, either, but I totally understand the desire for a connection to Texas out here since there are so few Texas fans in Cville.  I hope you get this and reply!  (Comments on your thing were disabled)

I'll try to find the list.
