Fight!!!
Man, watching Gameday… Corso and Herbstreit really just chapped my butt. OU love all over the place and they think we don’t have a chance. I hope we make’em eat those words.
1 Peter 2:17
first good sign
the espn morons are orgasmic about ou. usually a good indicator.
It's almost game time...
and OU still sucks!!!
It doesn't matter if you win or lose, as long as you come in first.

Good morning, Horns.
Get ’um up.
Hook ’em.
And OU still sucks.
some good gameday signs out today
best was when they handed the blown-up crying sooner pic to the cheerleader and she held it up front and center. classic.
I've been listening
to Explosions in the Sky (the Friday Night Lights band) all morning. Absolutely jacked out of my mind.
Texas 34- blowu27
been up since
2:20 AM. No way I was going back to sleep. I’ve got a French press full of coffee and am still waiting for the sun to rise here in Maui.

very nice. very nice.
the beer has been flowin all morning here. no coffee necessary. just straight shiner.
and saturday morning cartoons while i wait for the game to come on tv is killing me
If You See Kay, Oh You
can somebody explain
the shetland ponies, the paddles and the boys in white chinos with grass-stained knees?
The CB sounds loud and ready for action.
Boy, how long does it take to get tired of the freakin’ motormouth talking and foolishness?
God..
I hate Oklahoma. Watching their band, cheerleaders, mascot, etc. makes me want to punch my TV
Corso is a moron. How does he still have a job?
Go Horns!!!
Too bad
he didn’t shoot himself with that stupid gun.
Bradford looked a little too cocky in that shot of him walking in the stadium

that first play showed that their OL can be easily penetrated.
gonna have a good game on D
If You See Kay, Oh You
Showing 4-2-5.
I think what beer gut indicated, the 5-0, will be in effect later.
That was a fine fake and pass.
As long as they execute well, this will happen. Same the other way.
Just takes a while to settle down the young ones.
Defense was keying to run.
Just yelled at my mailman after OU scored
I think if this continues, I might have to hang out by myself today.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
so OU
has 4 impact players but we only have 3?
This just in...
OU is a freakin’ machine.
by Stuck in the Plains on Oct 11, 2008 11:21 AM CDT reply actions
so...
at least Texas can get first downs by drawing them offsides
K Clayton
So, this guy is apparently OU’s response to Kindle.
McCoy
throws a very pretty deep ball. His short and intermediate passes have a little too much air though…gives the Burglars too much time to react
by Stuck in the Plains on Oct 11, 2008 11:26 AM CDT reply actions
Naaaahhh, it's just you. Colt had to break a little quicker to get away.
Both these series were adjusting read ability to the other’s speed. Horns didn’t execute on third down, but that was GD’s play. Needed a better one. The run was there earlier.
Important to get points on the board
Now the D needs to step it up.
Jesus Musberger
Why don’t get just end the game now and give it to OU. Three points is better than zero!
Muschamp
I didnt’ want a FG either, but the longer Muschamp has to get a handle on OU, the better. Let’s just keep it close, even OU is up a little. Let Muschamp do his thing.
it aint about muschamp....its about the players on the field
by Texas_Fight on Oct 11, 2008 11:28 AM CDT up reply actions
It is about Muschamp.
WIth three games in one, the Horn D against the OU offense is really the key.
we're working on the assumption that
the players will do what he wants
Shiner
Cheaper in Champaign, IL than back home. Weird.
WTF!!!!!

whew!
Wow. I didn’t think I was going to soil myself until the 3rd quarter at least. So much for expectations.
THere are two types
Running into the kicker si 5 yards. Roughing is 15. Or did you think that was going to be called as roughing?
Thank god
That wasn’t even close to being the 15-yard variety. Announcers really are ignorant somtimes.
When's the last time you
fell over because someone hit you in the foot?
Quan
3 great catches already!!!! He has some of the best hands of any of the receivers in the last 10 years.
Right side of the line
is letting them through. Not a good sign. Great play by McCoy and Cosby though.
Off-topic, but I really hope Minnesota loses today
They rival OU on stupidity, and I’m not kidding.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
My gf wants to marry him
I told her as long as I get an autograph, I’m ok with it.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
2nd 3rd down penalty on OU...both offsides
over pursuit should lead to mis-direction play calling later on.
Do they think
McCoy is made out of paper mache? For god sake’s, he’s put on 30 lbs. of muscle since he got to Austin.
They should have run that to the wide side to give McCoy some running room.
Kindle could have murdered him.
We showed 5-0 4 DL,. MLB, two mansters. nt

This is like Colts vs. Ravens with both sides calling constant audibles.

Did anyone else hear Musburger say this?
someone want to pick up the blitz?
please? defense is doing their job.

conceding the first down
3rd and 23, I guess this is Vince-only territory.
The refs
aren’t having a good game so far. Intentional grounding is the referee’s call. How can the side judge overrule him?
Neither is Bradford. Third or fourth out of bounds run.
OU is considerable below their avg for first quarter scoring.
This is about as good a start as I could have conceived.
I think they were averaging 21 or so
in the 1Q. That could be a big win. We do score more as we go. I think that is what BZ said.

Defense is staying with receivers until Bradford crosses the line.
yea and he gets five yards every time......hes gonna outrush colt today
by Texas_Fight on Oct 11, 2008 11:50 AM CDT up reply actions
He's set up to get busted. He's aware of Muck and Kindle.
Right now he feels like he has an option – oob.
Not a bad quarter
Considering what ou has done in the first quarter this year, that was soled quarter by the horns. Offense needs to figure out how to handle the blitz.
The way I look at it,
Our defense is only going to get better as the game goes along. If we’re within a touchdown at halftime, this shit is OURS.
need need need to get pressure with just the front four. Receivers too big for one on one coverage.

If You See Kay, Oh You
Maybe. But notice, OU can't run.
Like us, they do have a quick passing attack and they had to return to that. So, don’t get too down.
First to 28.
That’s how this game has been the last few years.
ugh..
I hate having to hear Boomer Sooner after coming back from the breaok..
Bullshit
That TD was bullshit, same shit that ou always gets on us. Anyone remember suck ass griffin running for a hundred td’s on only us…….

We do need
a rest for our d though

Um, racist????
Is it racist that they played DMB while going to commercial and showing Ship scoring?
I counted in a special teams TD.
The D is needing some rest. We were getting pressure on Bradford, they went to a roll out series, flood the zones. We’re forcing OU out of their gameplan, to run. Important.
Hope these are long TV time out.
he's applying for a 6th year of eligibility

If we're honest with ourselves
we can admit that OU is finding success where most expected them to find it. Passing game in general, and at TE. And Bradford getting time to choose.
Scared
he looks like he’s running scared

ou's gaining our yards for us as well.

Why are we running horizontal?
Why aren’t we running vertical? I mean seriously….they’ve stopped us all game when we’ve gone horizontal.

OU is doing much of what our D is doing. Stopping run.

Looks like the ref found his flag. Of course Herbstreit. Its a terrible call. Look, it probably didn’t warrent a flag, but OU got a TD when they didn’t. So shut the hell up.
Why dont we
do more two move routes? they are jumping the first move of Colt…

Perhaps the most recognizable mascot in sports, and certainly the toughest looking, Bevo is a fixture
I think UT coaches made a mistake in
first half not calling TO to stop OU offense on key plays. Especially the drive for 2nd TD.
players are crushing it.
the boys are looking great but gd loves to call ridiculous shit to make sure we dont have a shot at the end zone. good lord.
I dont get it
If you are going to play it safe, why not just throw a fade. You either get a TD or a chance for a fg.
Points
We need to take the points
There is no greater privilege than supporting the Burnt Orange Bevo Boys...and Girls...
Please remind me
What happened to our walk on kicker? i know Hunter is amazing though, just wondering
Im telling you
we need to run the traditional I formation on them, run it right up the middle. Their way too athletic to try and run it around the edges. Cody Johnson + I-formation= Good yardarge, ball control, and OUs Offense off the field.
Is ABC going
to rename themselves the OU Sports Network. Let’s see the halftime crew shine Stoops’ knob. And there it is. Right out of the box.
this why we lose, we play not to.....

i think our major weakness is our O line. Colt cant throw when he wants.
Also, D line not getting much pressure overall.
