Been Banned Before

All Longhorners,

I have been a avid reader and a follower of this site. To come clean I was banned from this site a couple of times- for obviously making thoughtless comments which at this point I figured may not have been correct but at that time I was venting frustration on my team in general for not performing to standards...more so it was directed towards the coaches- conservative playing and last years defense..which I think everyone will agree that was terrible..and rightly so my ass was chewed evertime.

However this year and hopefully for the following years I have learned the lessons and will try to place better constructive criticisms. Regarding this season- I am speechless and cant say anything about the performances we have had so far...outstanding..brilliant...amazing.. My list of hate towards other teams grows:

1) OU

2) Kansas State

3) Aggies

4) Texas Tech (Newest addition- They have to loose the next 2-).

Supporter of :

1) OSU

2) OU ( for now-YUCK!!)

ALL TIME HATER of - USC...looking at their performances this year why on god's green earth are those folks in # 5 position is completely beyond me...unbelievable...I missed the 2005 game but I pray that I see one more of those someday.

I read through PB's comments and I was impressed..everyone he nailed it right on the head!!..

To me fairly concerning was the fozzy question- I do understand GD's thought that he may not be experienced in picking up blitzes but surely he will learn and if we dont expose him enough how will he get that experience..we used him in the Tech game to little and too late....As I had feared all the way that at times when GD gets in the conservative mode he remains in it...After the 1st quarter what appeared to me was that our short passing " football 101" game of 4-5 yards per pass attempt  was eliminated-Cosby went out and Shipley was covered...my thought was why dont we go long...atleast see what we get?

 The Tech safeties I thought were absolutely sitting on their asses doing nothing and would have been interesting trying to challenge them a little which we did and got great results but I thought by the time this came into play the Tech folks had too much adrenalin and rhythm to be missing....though easy to say hard to do the Tech Line was just outstanding in making Colt run for his life at times..but I still think we should have been prepared for this as a contingency in case the OSU showed the world how to do it. I also think that we have relied too much on Cosby and Shipley and I was wondering what would happen if either of these guys are injured..yesterday the question was answered-we struggled at times with dropped passes and I think learning from this we have to start involving the young guys more in the playbook. Williams, Collins etc are playmakers and they have height advantage which both Shipley and Cosby may not have-however combing the experience with the physical attributes will positively have better outcomes I feel-thought it doesnt matter what I feel it matter;s what the coaches do. I do give it to GD that going back to the football basics he has achieved amazing results..

Finally I have a new respect for Colt...he has been amazing this year and I know he will carry this form into next year- I loved the way we fought back and kept fighting- I dont blame for Colt leaving too much time on the clock- since for starters it shouldnt have to be this close-which I think most of us agree. While the only hope I had going into this game was that we have experienced 2 game with OSU and OU going to thr 4rth quarters and were better conditioned and experienced then Tech was and this was why we were going to come away with a victory-but the failure of our offense to start in the 1st half gave Tech way too much advantage and rhythm we couldnt beat- we tried but was too much.

Last thoughts I do think that this being my first post there would be many thoughts that appear to be leading somewhere but stop short- I am a little rusty.. At the same time I for one have not been able to sleep at all yesterday- everytime I closed my eyes I had a image of the Blake missed catch- Though I dont blame him in general we had a poor performance all around.

I hope others here did sleep better than I did- Another kicker is that I am UT graduate but not from Austin- but from Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas- and at the same time I started to follow football 2 years back- and had no fucking idea that it would be this awesome!!..

All we can do is win out the remaining games and hope other mess up- which inself may be selfish but I dont give a shit- I want UT to be there.

Anyone know what happened to Cosby- I was in a bar and the fucking Sooner fans were making too much noise for me to hear what they were saying- Is there a chance he will be in next week?

Like always-

Hook em horns!!

and GO OU AND OSU

OSU needs to pull a victory out. If OU beats Tech, and OSU beats tech, that leaves us coming up shorter than we want to be. Hook Em Horns! and TEXAS FIGHT!
