First, I doubt Gary EVER completed 80% of his passes in a game.

Second, yes Stafford might end up being a better Pro QB than Colt, however, This Iis Division I football! It’s the Big 12! It ain’t ithe NFL.

Third, Danielson’s quote is self serving. He works for the company that broadcasts SEC games, it is to his benefit to build up the SEC as much as possible.

Finally, he is an idiot.

great motivation there at the end, i’ve been nervous since the freakin colorado game…

danielson had quite a bit of HATERade…(jerk)

Danielson is a complete moronic douchebag. Of course he’s going to say any SEC qb is better than Colt. Let’s see how the Heisman voters will vote. I’d like to see UGA, Fla, Bama, play against our junk offense. If by junk, he means simplistic, then yeah I would tend to agree with him.

I also like the last point PB brings up here. We are all so worried about losing, that we have taken the fun out of winning. I mean, how often to do other teams NOT rejoice and celebrate after they have beaten #1, 11, and 6? We should start to live it up and talk shit for boys becasue we are #1!

PB, I have been meaning to say this sometime this week but I kept on forgetting. I noticed that you, among others, were upset and put-off by the way people were posting on the Gameday thread. People were blasting players, cursing coaches, and damning our whole season. I’d like to say that although totally unreasonable, these posts were just ways for people to get out thier frustration. I mean, we have not had any adversity or second guessing all year until last Saturday. We have come to expect so much from this team, that anything below perfect is now unacceptable. I imagine that this has changed a little since the OSU game and people now realize that we are human and kids will be kids and cordinators will be cordinators. Just dont take those “rants” personal or even with a grain of salt.

…our reality. Funny how the same stuff UT fans say about Tech, Harrell, and our offense… kind of ticks you off?

I love ironasm.

Peace

I bet his arm wouldn’t be as impressive

1. Don’t listen to him if he’s not on TV doing a game. He’s probably about to make an inflammatory comment.

2. Don’t listen to him if he’s on TV and there’s a full-screen graphic up. He’s probably about to engage in hyperbole.

3. Any other time, listen to him because he’s one of the best in-game analysts on any network.

1. If you have to site a players pro potential in an argument about college football, your argument is flawed from the beginning.

2. I don’t blame Tech fans for not respecting our pass rush. For 10 years our coaches talked about it and for 10 years it was nonexistant. I still have to make sure I’m not dreaming everytime I see one of our DL in the backfield this year.

3. Been trying to sit back and enjoy the season and it’s just not working. Realistically this team is at least 2 wins ahead of where I’d thought they’d be, but that just makes it all the more stressful. I’ll have plenty of time to enjoy these seasons when I’m dead.

In a week where the Texas Tech Athletic Department finally has a chance to show the country their team, they have remarkably shut off all access to the media. I’m guessing that’s what happened on Monday (maybe Tuesday) when Graham Harrel was supposed to be on College Football Live but never showed and Ryan Palmer ended up being called on.

Good job, Tech. Way to lose national exposure and maybe some money for the future.

Apparently PB’s personal football jesus, Phil Steele, has picked a Tech upset.

I don’t have time to research all the picks, but it really seems like Phil has been strongly bearish on Texas post-Vince, while being unnaturally bullish on OU. So here’s hoping we prove him wrong again.

about Matt Ryan. Please.

Remember that Danielson played pro ball in the era when the run-and-shoot was running up phenomenal yardage and threatening to put guys like Danielson out of work. No wonder he has a bias against a spread short pass offense.

good lord…..so what if some announcer who works for a company that has no contact whatsoever with your conference likes a different QB than yours? Not to mention the fact that this talk about Stafford being a prototypical pro-style QB has been going on since he WAS a resident of the great state of Texas. Colt is amazing – I love the kid. He stands for everything that I’ve always loved about Texas football since I was a little boy. And, being a born-and-raised Texan, I will root for them to win every game they play in (unless, of course, Georgia somehow finds its way into the title game against the Horns). Kudos to Colt for running Greg Davis’ version of the spread the way he is – especially without anything resembling a tight end. But if I’m picking a guy to run an I-based offense with a ton of “check-with-me” options, I want Stafford, plain and simple.

And this has rightfully earned him the wrath of Brian Cook.

Is it Saturday yet?

Now let’s don’t jump to soon to criticize Gary Danielson. I mean, he’s got all those “All-Pro” years as QB with the perennial powerhouse Detroit Lions. And throw those Super Bowl victories in on top of …, wait a cotton pickin’ minute – Gary who ??

This thread should be nominated for Overraction of The Week. He’s a freaking announcer who is paid to cover the SEC. Of COURSE he is going to favor an SEC kid who he’s seen numerous times in person. Has he ever called a UT game? Formed any relationships with players at UT? Doubtful…

Sam Acho may have put this week best into words: “Preparation alleviates pressure”.

This tells me there’s no doubt the Horns will be ready and not worried come gametime out west.

Also, three or four guys had a form of “Tired” listed as thier status………uh oh

His production and the NFL hype do not match.

Just wanted to let you know I plaegerised ( I do not know if that is how you spell it) your paragraph about Rak to go talk smack to the Double T crowd. I am sick of listening about Reed and how strong their offensive line is.

Not sure I like it……Take that shit to the Shag if you ask me……

Cosby only needs one reception to tie Mike Adams for second an UT’s all time list (Roy Williams is first).

Saw that in the paper today and found it surprising.

that Tom Brady plays in a junk offense in the NFL.

Maybe we need to set up a game between UGA and Tech. I bet there would be some entertaining remarks in the blogs.
