michigan has me worrying..

I know our defense is better than Michigan's but after watching what happened today, I think every team's fanbase has started to become a little wary of their opening games.  Ironically, this upset came just hours after Herbie bashed teams for scheduling cupcake teams on College Gameday.

I'm ready

Back from the ND-GT game, which was over at halftime, by the way. I'll have a full report on the ND game experience sometime soon.

For now, though? I'm in full Texas mode.

Half hour 'til kickoff. Is it wrong to start a chant?

TEXAS!

pay per view bites!

Is anyone else incensed by having to pay a cable company to watch the Longhorns.

Did you know tht before Mack Brown LOnghorn fans were able to watch all games on local television.

Now thanks to politics and big money a lot of true blue longhorn fans are being left in the dark because we cannot get what few tickets are available or do not have cable.

HOW RUDE!!!!!

Does Mack not make enough money alreasy that he cannot use his political powers to make sure that ALL fans can watch the Longhorns and not just the selected few with  deep pocket.

by orangebloodleaann on Sep 1, 2007 5:46 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Not up to Mack

It's a conference rule. The Big 12 contract states that games which aren't picked for regular TV slots must be pay-per-view events only.

--PB--

You're right...

It's not up to Mack, it's up to local television stations to pick up the game. KDFI is running King of the Hill and Seinfeld...

I guess it was the beatings made me wise. But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize.

Even worse

Is having to pay to listen to the game on the radio. Where I live, the AM reception on 1200 & 1300 is too faint, so I have no choice but to stream on the internet. But no, the stations carrying the game live are not allowed to stream Longhorn sports because they have a deal with Yahoo. Screw 'em all.

No huddle

Texas running a no huddle offense, letting Colt read the defense, call a play, and go with what he likes.

Smart offensive gameplan. We're taking simple passes to Quan and Nate underneath, using our superior athletes to pick up yardage.

As I type this, Charles dropped for a loss on 3rd and 3. Run game looking so-so right now.

Horns punt with McCoy in the shotgun on 4th and 8.

colts interceptions are a little surprising though. i did not expect okie st. to get blown out like they are.  good luck guys, it wont be long before you have to take on Neb. i hope you win them all until we get there of course.

again good luck

disappointing

performance by Oklahoma State.

they had a few calls that didn't go their way, and they just didn't generate enough offense.

wow. I'm a f'ing genius wiht that one, aren't I?

Kansas State is doing better than I thought, but Auburn's offense sucks.

New o-line for Auburn.

I picked KSt just for that reason. All things being relatively even, a new O-line causes more problems than any other weakness, other than inexperienced QB.

And they aren't out of the woods yet; they're at Auburn.

kstate

is looking like they might just pull out a win. the game isnt over yet but they are looking much better than they did last year. i still think we are going to run the table in the north but they will be a challenge. ie morso a challenge than mizzou will be. just my opinion but kstate at least has a D and a little bit of offense. its going to be a good year.

is it just me?

i really do not think that the sec is the best conference in the country. they always seam to struggle with the big 12. who knows i guess it is just a matter of opinion, but i just have to think that we are better than the sec.

by huskerbrent on Sep 1, 2007 9:01 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

Like in the Cotton Bowl last year?

When has the SEC particularly struggled against the Big XII?

by aorist9 on Sep 1, 2007 9:03 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

funny......

im not necessarily saying that the sec loses to the big 12 all of the time but i am saying that it always seems like they at least struggle and in most of the close games that i watch between the 2 conferences the sec tends to get some lucky breaks to end up winning the game. ie the cotton bowl last year.

Cotton Bowl

Is usually the fourth best team or so from the SEC against the second best from big twelve ... Auburn finished third in its own division last year. Nebraska played for B12 title. It SHOULD be a tight game

"Excuse me while I whip this out."

by FreedomDip on Sep 1, 2007 9:11 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

agreed

and neb was either the 2nd or 3rd best in the b12 behind oklahoma and possibly texas depending on how you look at it. and if it werent for a couple of bad calls by callahan and not having a fg kicker that could kick past 40yds (not a problem anymore) we probably would have won that game.

once again its just my opinion but i dont really see why people think that the sec is all that great. i mean LSU and Florida are clearly better than the rest of the teams in the conference.

good discussion though

by huskerbrent on Sep 1, 2007 9:17 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

ah, no

Auburn's offense is not very good. Kansas State should hang with them. It's going to be a low-scoring game.

Georgia, OTOH, handled Okie State fairly well.

What has happened to Finley?

One catch for 8 and that's it.

Jones has been the go-to receiver, with Cosby a close second.

By design (for TCU) or not?

Of course, Chiles didn't get in.

Maybe if there's time left.

Now Horns are facing with TCU with an inexperienced back-up QB.

Somehow they had to get him in regardless. That's the real price of this game.

Was the onside penalty legit?

onside

the consensus here is that the penalty was not legit.

Jesus

There's a lot of work to be done to this team, if we don't want to lose to OU.

  1. The secondary is still leaving receivers wide open.
  1. Charles needs to stop running east and west so much.  He's taking too much times trying to find a hole.
  1. Colt needs to lead his receivers more.
  1. Enough with the game-changing penalties.  

On the plus side of things, I like the look of the spread, and Sweed is going to have a very nice year.  Also, our D line is pretty damn good.

by bleed burnt orange on Sep 1, 2007 9:30 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I think we'll win that one.

But have you watched any of UNT/OU?  We were all wondering how good OU's offense was going to be, with the QB situation.  They've hung 77 on UNT so far.

They're looking for those Michigan votes.

And trying to erase the sting of Boise State. Even if they put up a hundred, it won't stop the chortling, but Michigan will not get most of the giggles.

Besides, if you score that much, there's no where to go but down.

The bad thing is..

We were TRYING to put up more than 21 points and couldn't.

by chief on Sep 1, 2007 9:37 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

True.

We wanted to get the back-up QB in and didn't.
We wanted to convert a fourth and goal and didn't.
We wanted an o-line like 2005 and we didn't get it.
We wanted to see a shut down defense and didn't.

However, if you wanted some serious butt chewing, somewhere they're getting it tonight. They have a lot of work between tonight and next Saturday.

Of course, the greatest improvement a team makes is between week one and week two. Very serious week coming up; suddenly the season is TCU.

21-13 wtf

cal up 38-21 btw

we better fix this scoring problem fast...

Total yards 402 ASU/343 Texas

that is inexcusable

cant punch it in on 4th and 1.

that is inexcusable

without a doubt, we have some problems that need fixing. FAST.

Foolish hopes
Y'know, for most of the game, I thought Killebrew had turned a page.

Yeah, that was wrong.

Why is he still starting?

Same with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum--I thought with all I'd heard in camp, maybe they'ed improved. But they were just as out of place as normal. Dee in particular made an infuriatingly awful play on the first onside. To not even go for the ball!?!! WTF!?!!

Ugh. At least we're not Michigan fans tonight.

Just enjoy the win

It's a win instead of an embarassing loss. Enjoy the win and look forward to things that must be worked on. You guys act like UT just lost.

Silver lining

Ark St hung with Texas blow for blow...Texas will refocus for TCU and play better football.  Maybe the blowout that everyone was expecting won't come until next week.

by burntup on Sep 1, 2007 9:40 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

well that was pathetic

maybe mack should've focused on doing a little more yelling and a little less contract extension talking.  that's embarrassing whether we win the rest of our games or not.   maybe greg davis should've worked less on his diet and more on his actual job. everyone else looking in on the national championship pasted the shit out of whoever they played today (no...despite espn's va tech pep rally today...they don't factor into the picture).

Sick to the stomach

This is not good - sure, call me Captain Obvious.  This feels to me like the game some years ago where we scored 28 points on North Texas pretty quick and ended with 28 points (back in the Simms' era).  We got handed our tails by OU shortly thereafter.  

Sorry brother and sisters, but there's no way UT should be ranked #4 after this.  I don't know what the number should be, but that doesn't matter nearly as much as UT's performance previewed (without significant improvement) an ability to lose many games this year starting with TCU next week.  

Colt needs to grow A LOT from this game.  There were a number of passes last year that were "almost" INT's but he was bailed out by super WR efforts or drops.  That happens to all QB's here and there, but multiple times to Ark. St.???      Coaching problems???  Um, yeah!

Want a fringe disappointment???  This only further discourages UT from scheduling tougher non-conf opponents in the future.  All of a sudden Ole Miss  in 2012 looks like scheduling Michigan ... oops! ... bad example!

whoa, whoa, whoa

I may have been the first to say (on this thread) that we need to make some changes.

But let's not all throw in the towels at once. Yes, we DO need to make some changes. A win is a win (even a 21-13 pathetic win vs ArkSt). We can hold every right to say these things because we have higher expectations of the Longhorns. We SHOULD have beaten them 79-10, but it didnt happen. We DO need to make changes and FAST, but let's not all go jumping off a cliff. The season is not over to any team in the country ('cept maybe Michigan), and with quality showings/wins against TCU and OU we will remain in the national title hunt.

TEXAS!
FIGHT!
