so many comments in the first half thread my iPhone literally exploded. I am now posting comments to the site telepathically.

Dear Greg Davis

Snd and Goal from the 8 yard line. Using Shipley on a 2 yard route, not working for us.

According to the halftime crew...

OU has Jesus at QB.

And I guess special teams TDs don’t count as much as a passing TD. Holy crap I’ve never heard such bullshit.

Well...

We got it close just like we wanted. Knew this would not be a blowout… however, I say we get’em and end the game up by a TD. We are a better second half team.

Why worry about what the talking heads are saying?

Has no bearing on anything. Rather be talked down and come away with the upset than be fellated and fall flat on my face. Only in this instance, mind you.

Bullshit

Just to let you guys know arkansas is still pissed about that beatdown we gave em cause ABC and the local cable didn’t pick up the game here. Having to tune in over espn360. I am so pissed. Fuck you arkansas and your bevo penis envy.

ABC sports, bunch of bandwagon jumpers!

If I were in New York I would punch john saunders, craig james, and doug flutie all in their bandwagon jumping faces. how can you say Texas would not be in this game if it were not for a special teams touchdown. The funny thing is, if Texas wins this game, then they will jump on the Texas bandwagon along with mark may. Apparently everyone can be a sports commentator because all you have to do is jump on the bandwagon. I might send my resume into ABC on monday.

Just a poor pass; may have been long on purpose.

But I think they need to keep going long to third WR ever so often.

Can't

give up a TD on 3rd and 10 deep in your own territory. They shouldn’t have gotten more than three points there.

If the offense waits for you to adjust your defense-you probably are doing something expected.
