"You have to play this game like somebody just hit your mother with a two-by-four."
-Dan Birdwell

 

The Game

The Horns face a challenge after the loss to Tech.

"We're going to go back and have a really physical practice," Brown said. "We'll go back to work. We have no choice. We'll act like it's the first game of the season."

If Texas wins this week and Notre Dame loses, we will be tied for second in all time wins.

 

 

Corraling the Rest of the Big 12

Dennis Dodd has some spoiler alerts for the BCS.

The skinny: The championship is basically down to eight teams -- the Big 12 (Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State), the SEC (Florida, Alabama), USC and Penn State.

The Tulsa World Conference Buzz has some tidbits about the Big 12. Art Briles was not happy about the officiating during the Bears loss to Missouri and Kansas State punt returner Deon Murphy talked some before the Kansas game.

Deon Murphy vowed he would "take one to the crib" against Kansas and served up additional bulletin board material when he said KU is "probably going to wish they recruited this whole team the way we're going to play this weekend."

Kansas won 52-21, and Murphy had a total of 11 punt return yards because the Jayhawks punted only once in 14 possessions.

Murphy told reporters he doesn't regret saying it because he is a confident dude. But, he said, "As soon as I stepped off the bus, I was a marked man."

Battle for the bottom. Colorado vs. Iowa State.

 

 

'Rounding up the Big 12 Blogs

Double T Nation writes that Chris Fowler hates the Horns.

Corn Nation continues its discussion about Bo Pelini: Passionate or hothead?

Barking Carnival poses an interesting question: What was your favorite way to block our DE?

 

 

Other Stuff

A coach that looks like Vince Gill and a few other look-a-likes.

Global Sports Fraternity has the entire BCS figured out.

 

Sorry for the short BDR, but yesterday was consumed by political coverage and covering the election for a couple of online publications. BDR will be back tomorrow with the full post.

Get a rope and a horse...

Excuse me? BON grand jury indicts “unbiased” rep of Chris Fowler who “loves” Austin. Hmmm, cold day in hell when red carpet will be rolled out for the GameDay bunch again. We need an all out assault on ESPN for this crap.

Evidence #1

Chris Fowler - Horns Down?"/>

Evidence #2

Chris Fowler - Cheer"/>

….’nough said. And, yes, o.k. to nominate me for the sore loser award.

Fowler's face

in the second picture is priceless. PRICELESS.

oh come on

you have to admit, Crabtree pulled off one fantastic play to score on that touchdown. If it happened right in front of me, I’d be doing that and I don’t HATE you guys, although it’s this kind of paranoid crap that makes it easier.

Good grief.

Are we just now realizing that

ESPN and Game Day dislike UT? They’ve wanted us to lose all season, starting with OU.

Is this for serious?

Not that it really matters anyway, but it sure looks to me like Fowler is just pointing down with his index finger. I don’t see his pinky raised. No upside down hook’em.

True Colors

they showed true colors during the game IMHO by lack of comments on the flagrant holds. Hell, even my wife could see exactly what I was talking about & now she thoroughly understands what holding is. Sorry to keep kicking a dead horse here, but it was what it was.

I just wonder how we can help OSU prepare for & perhaps make a case to stop the flagrant holding in advance of their matchup w/ Tech this weekend.

Can we PLEASE move on now

People I don’t like the result, but whatever happened is history. I couldn’t care less about what Gameday thinks. There’s a ton more pertinent stuff headed our way. Bury the freaking ball and move on folks!

Yes, like Baylor...

who came close to beating Missouri.

The Bears are improving with each game. After last week’s loss, I hope the coaching staff can get the team up for this one.

Global Sports...Authority?

I think you’re thinking of this, and not Global Sports Fraternity..
