Happy Thirdy Quarter Thread

PrintForgive the post title: I'm trying to fit in with the effete theme of the evening, hosted by the Texas offensive line.
Seriously, though, as tempted as you may be to sling mud towards the coaches, resist this once. Our receivers won't catch, our line won't block, and our young secondary is getting pistol-whipped by the Air Raid at its peak.
Which means... yeah: Credit to Texas Tech. For every miscue on the Texas side of the ball, there's been beautiful execution from Texas Tech. From the punt downed at the one to the ferocity with which their defensive line is attacking us, to the brilliance of Graham Harrell so far... they're just outplaying us.
Can Texas come back? Hell yes, but I'll say it: Graham Harrell as a senior is not the same player we've seen in years past. And we've lost whatever depth edge we might have had, because our defense has been on the field the whole time. Tech had as perfect a first half as they could have hoped for. And we've finally had a half of mistakes. Bad combination...
Texas needs to score when they receive the ball and things will be interesting again. Tech's not done scoring, though. Count on that.
Hook 'em Horns. Beat Tech.

Pray for Colt
He might not make it out alive
Perhaps the most recognizable mascot in sports, and certainly the toughest looking, Bevo is a fixture
I think the...
2nd ahlf is going to be different guys… i just have a feeling we come out and score and take this game in hand. The Oline needs to block and the WRs need to catch. They’ve been doing it all year, they need to do it now.

K-State
I felt the same way at the K-State game last year.

Does it seem like
tech is so much faster than us on the field to anyone else? I mean, they look like they are all crabtree’s compared to our defense…

i feel better than i did last week at half
can’t explain it…just think we’ve got a comeback in us.
Fuck these refs and FUCK Brent Musberger!!!!!!
Thats how I feel

Tell the O Line
that if they do not block, they are walking back to Austin.
Last time i checked
we were the university of texas….i went home and changed into my gameday shirt, forgive me mack, for i have sinned..but i have repented…lets get a win
well, it looks like Leach's whining for the last few seasons has had an effect
no holding calls on Tech in the half
heard that
Perhaps the most recognizable mascot in sports, and certainly the toughest looking, Bevo is a fixture
So maybe we got our opponents confused. osu comeback this week?

Tech came to play...
But can they keep it up…? I don’t think so. We should be down by 28 with the yards they rolled up on us. It’s gonna work out folks…
2nd half is a new ball game.
1 Peter 2:17
We were just using the first half
to rest. Two possessions isn’t anything, we have just been letting them get tired. I’m sticking to that.
If you're so sure of what it ain't, how about telling us what it am!

Williams
The two williams and tucker are the only guys who came to play.
we just need to go deep to malcolm
only play that seems to work
Tech is...
gulp…better than us.
Disciplina Praesidium Civitatis.
I'd say not.
Our secondary is banged up for the game (by secondary I only mean Chykie) and Quan has been injured and not really playing the whole game.

I hate Brent Musberger... and wish very bad things upon him.

Woo hoo! We own the punting game!
Though did you see them adjust to it. They had a guy there almost ready to block that rugby roll out punt
3 n out!

We used to be good at those.

Not so fast my friend
How would this game look if we had scored a TD in the first quarter?
looks like we found a new punt returner. in addition, this game is wide open again
If You See Kay, Oh You
GO TEXAS BEAT MUSBERGER!!!!

They kicked to Quan to every time so we sort of just liked to do it.
Now they’re kicking to Ship.

Or suit up Applewhite.

Offense was lazy and uninspired.
This should get them fired up.

Get a stop here

who is Mushmouth rooting for this game
he generally pick one player to crush on all game and sticks with him
Has anyone noticed????
The game M Williams is having???
Did anybody else know
Leach liked pirates? I hadn’t been hearing that all week.
If you're so sure of what it ain't, how about telling us what it am!
OU is doing filthy things
to Nebraska
The only people still watching that game are fetishists and Sooner fans.
2 bad pursuit angles

Crabtree
He gets so many extra yards by shwing the ball and making the defenders go for strip.
He's got all damn day

how about that
slow motion holding

anyone catch that replay?
holding is not a penalty
if that doesn't piss our guys off
kill these bastards
damn
wish i had known you could do that sort of thing when i played football.
How could announcers not mention hold?
It was on slow-mo!
Muschamp
Schematically the defense is in the right place….D’s got to make the play.

No, this is not k-state
This is team is far better than last year. They’d never have survived the first 3.
