Honestly, you don't think we should have more than 3 tds?

I'm a realist, if we have 14 and moving the ball, all is good

not true....im not upset i just question alot of his calls, thats all.....i think mack influences his calls that run up the middle.....
gd by himslef is a great oc, great
also, i have a thought on d. scott that i'm saving
until the game is put away
Let's hang...
at least 52 on ’em. Good first half. Want to see that bovine killer instinct now.

can happen
if OL starting winning its battles. D-line, as we know, if dominating. O-line is not.
or...
…maybe a Muschamp signature second-half adjustment?
I guess it’s hard to adjust positively from giving up zero points and almost no yards, though.
Vanderbilt’s knocking off Auburn! This has been a great finish! Eff you, Tigers—we steal your DCs, and you lose!

Vandy
in great shape to beat Auburn. Just got an INT and now just need to run out final 2 min

aggies have now turned the ball over
5 times in 2 1/2 quarters.

Note: A&M running for 7.3 per carry.
The TOs are a killer – two INT returned for TDs and long punt. OSU only scored two from scrimmage.
Noted for weakness of OSU run D.
Yeah
They’ve been talking about that all day.

Good run for the first down by Chris O
Looked good
no first down?

Anybody else dislike the...
constant tagline “at home, with the O”?
just a hunch here
but I think Colt is holding the ball a bit too long, which could be a product of being able to hold it forever in the first 4 games
clearly not "at home...
with the UT O line…
Eat the time, points would have been nice

sorry if this is a stupid question:
What does it mean when people keep adding : “nt” to the end of their posts?

i'll preface this by saying I DO have a UT ring . . .
Have Longhorns caught just about every close call today?
If that were the case
then that INT would have been fumbled, picked up and run back by us for a TD.
Other than that, yeah.

So you naysayers
think our defense can’t hang with OU?
i think it can
but I think OU’s off. line is worlds better than the one Texas is seeing tonight
Looks to me CU is running a prevent of sorts, too.
Can anyone confirm.

ok lil off topic...but...
maybe some of the problems we are having on offense can be attributed to major as the runningback coach?
I mean I would hate to pin the blame on one of my fav longhorn, but do you think some of the problems we are having w/ the run game can be attributed to the major not doing his job as the runningback coach?
granted that we had injuries to fozzy and mcgee..but I am sure that this doesnt look good w/ recruiting….we will probably need a prime-time RB in near future…

nice answer
and fuck cu and the free shirts and the hippies and ward churchill!
See, there's the damn problem
We’ve been putting our blockers in front of the ball carrier. Who knew?
I’m sick of seeing Cody get these vulture carries. Give it to someone who earns it when the game’s this far out of control.
Johnson! Johnson!
His block sets up McCoy’s run and then he bulldozes his way into the endzone with a lot of help from his friends.
hoping he'll get the message
and request a transfer to a new position
I want to so hard

I'd like at least one more offensive possession
There are still kinks that can be worked on. But for the love of God, can Sherrod please get a series.
Questions that can still be answered.
1. Will Quan field a punt?
2. Will someone other than Colt go for 100 yards in a game?
3. Will we see any Q? Or any Chiles at all?

To be clear..
I am in no way suggesting replacing Colt…. I just would like ot see Sherrod in these situations.
Guys -
Next week, it’s win or lose with Colt. Whole game. He’s our QB unless he gets hurt and only if. Get used to it.
If we dont take him out
There may be no next week

Muschamp needs a 7 to even out that 13.
He’s very symmetrical.
The hippies
are scattering. They have moved to drum circles well away from the stadium. Peace is restored.
Brewster sighting?

Don't Think So
Too early a kickoff and ESPN is suppose to be in Austin the following Saturday.
--AW--
LSU at Florida
But it is on CBS and Gameday usually doesn’t go to locations where ABC/ESPN is not showing the game. Who knows, I could be wrong. The rumors are that Gameday will be in Austin the following weekend. With that along with the early kick, it doesn’t seem like they would be in Dallas.

Chiles get moved to RB. Hmm…

Good point, PB is it Chiles that is terrible or does his package just not mesh with his skill set?
I say it’s a bit of both, but he’s had a decent amount of play time and he seems to constantly be one step forward, one step back. The guy is in neutral.
seems like
Chiles and McGee were able to move the ball much more easily last season. You’d think there might be some improvement since Chiles has completed a few passes.
Sherrod
This would have been a great chance to get Harris some playing time in the unfortunate chance he is needed in the next few weeks.

Darrell Scott: 2 Carries for 4 yards.
And 2 catches for 45 yards. (most of which were on a gadget play where he was chased down by a DE).
He’s hardly the “next Adrian Peterson” as I read last year.

Im officially purging “nt” from my brain. Several web searches turn up nothing uncluding this one. It’s an inside joke that about three people understand as far as I can tell.

It's one of the mysteries...
In some models of Scoop, the software behind this cascading style of conversation, new comments don’t open automatically like here. So, if you have a one line comment, you’d use the initials nt for no text, or eom for end of message or -30- the classic newspaper closure icon. I didn’t notice that everything opened automatically here, so I kept using it for a while. That drew attention and some snark. So, some of the characters began using it, abusing it, embellishing it much like you’d do an illuminated text. That was the last written form before Gutenberg swung into action (not counting picture languages), where a whole ’nother world was created within the form. Same here.
Well, let's get ready for the showdown

Colt only 76.6% completion pct
::shakes head in disappointment::
it was the drops
and the Ullman disaster play.
Rather have the drops tonight than next week.
That pass to Ullman was a little high and tight. He’s not agile at all. Hit him in the gut.
You throw the ball around enough and things will happen. The rate right now is just incredibly high.
Do we have a quick opener? Noticed that OU uses one; just fast hand-off. We have so many plays that take time to develop. Sometimes just quick plays between the tackles work well but you nearly have to be under center for that.
