But I still can't believe
Wells hasn't pointed out that BON timestamps say "CDT".
I'm so confused!!

Online viewing
For those who don't have ESPN360,
It appears that the game will be streamed on:
You may have to download the free player first, but it only takes a few seconds. Some games are IE-only, but we really won't know that until game time.

Watching the Nova/Gtown game
I really like listening to Jay Bilas. I really dont like the over the top announcers that try to make every play sound like it is the greatest play in NCAA history...He's calm and calls it like he sees it. I really like that.

Identity
It seems Texas has lost some of it's identity from the beginning of the year. With it went the swagger. DJ doesn't look like the kid that went toe to toe with TJ Ford over the summer. All too often resorting to fade aways and tossing up shots. Conner looks like a stiff breeze will make him wet his shorts. Can we rely on AJ's shooting to keep us in games. Most importantly, DEFENSE. The horns need to look it up. Try to sustain a defense for an entire game. Most of all, be bad asses, know you are The University of Texas!
by anonyMoose on Feb 11, 2008 6:50 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
OK, here's my theory
If I make a big deal out of a game, we always lose.
See:
Waited in line all morning to get wristband tickets for tOSU game: 24-7 We suck.
Spring for tickets to Aggie game last year at DKR, plus drive half way across Texas the night after Thanksgiving: 12-7 We suck.
Go to Dallas: 28-21 We suck.
Go to KSU game, meet Vince Young, get VY to autograph my lucky shirt that I left at home the weekend we lost to KSU last year and I blamed myself for it forever, wear said freshly-autographed shirt straight to the game to clinch certain victory and exact revenge: A billion to like 10 We suck a lot.
Get tickets to Aggie game and actually drive to that shithole town with my brother to get at least some closure on the season before clinching certain BCS berth and being total badasses: 38-30 We suck disaster.
So, I thought to myself: I can go wait in line all day and skip class and not do my homework to see this game, but that will ensure certain defeat. Thus, the only rational decision is to abstain from total glory and endure the game from home. This, certainly will spur the 'Horns to victory over the hated blue-birds.
Right?
Right...?

I used to feel like you
Then me and my friend Clay went to every football game the Horns played in 2005 plus that one we played in early January of 2006 and that pretty much cured it.
Now if I could just get rid of the clap, it'd be smooth sailing.

Great choice, Horn Brain, simply great.
We need some self-possessed mofo to stand up for our superstitions and so far as I can tell, you're it.
Congratulations. And when we win, I'll heap even more kudos your way for such prodigious personal insight and perseverance.
Plus a little check mark for the homework.

Shot selection
the AJ airball led to the last transition layup. Take better shots.
I think this game is going too fast for our liking. Slow it down a bit.

Agreed
Biggest worry so far. We're not getting back fast enough and we're not boxing out well. Kansas moves and crashes the board so hard. Need to be more aware.

To let Mason run the point and run a little offense.
Atchley being incredibly awesome helps too.
Not to mention them missing layup after layup.

I'm getting this bad feeling
We're only down 3, but it feels like KU is ready to explode on us. They are so athletic. They're trying to run us out of the gym, yet they're big enough to out-muscle us on the boards.
by goingforthecorner on Feb 11, 2008 8:58 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
Oddly enough
I have somewhat the opposite feeling. Kansas has been playing really well and we're only down 4. Texas is playing well, but there is a lot of room to pick it up.

0 FG's for Augustin
Looks like DJ is suffering from whatever Mason was going through earlier. I don't know what to say.
The last play where Chapman missed the pass. I want to see that more (except the receiver is Connor, James, Johnson).
DJ's shot may be off, but he can still rack up the assists, but not if we're going to play him off the ball. I don't like that decision. It takes away some of his abilities like court vision and maybe it's affected his shot.

But I think we need to rebound a bit better.
Otherwise, spot on.

A really awkward possession, but Mason with the offensive rebound, score, and foul. WOW

What a play by Mason
one more FT bc of lane violation.

Mason bailed out DJ. With foul.
And now we missed some FTs. Lane violation helped.

Second Half
I think DJ needs to take this game over...he's just got to break out of this slump.
Statitically, I just don't see us getting the same production behind the arc.
And where is Mr. Miyagi when we need him to fix Gary Johnson's nose...

but I thought we'd come out flat and they'd keep killing us in the paint and it would be done in 3-4 minutes.
Instead Texas has made up the deficit, is playing them hard and has even pulled down a couple boards.
It's good to be wrong!

is being the aggressor so far in the 2nd half. James controlling the defensive boards, and Mason on the offensive. Love it.

great D
on that last possession. Good to see the Texas defenders get up in the KU players' faces, but without getting overly aggressive and picking up a dumb foul. This is an extremely intense game! Feels like lots on the line.

If DJ is going to do that, we're gonna have to
crash the boards for the follow up...and give up a little on the transition. It almost puts the Horns in an untenable position. He's gotta dish off.

Wishful thinking - but it would really be beneficial to work on his shooting in a college environment. Much more difficult with the traveling rigors of the NBA. I worry that his size and shooting struggles could drop him to 2nd round.
