Looking Forward....

I thought I would compile a list of things to look forward to seeing this year, that were missing last year...

Defensively

Disguised blitzes.  I hope to see Horns flying around prior to the snap creating mismatches and confusion.

Turnovers... Make it rain. We went through a dry spell mid season last year.  Make it like the holiday bowl. Ruuuuuuuuuddddddeeeee.   Ruuuuuuuuudddddddeeeee.

Open field Tackling/Hitting.  Spotty at times particularly with K State, and A&M. Is the Ced- Marcus-Michael(Huff)-Aaron-Tarrell standard gonna be met or exceeded. Buehler...Buehler...

Pass Defense... Beasley, Palmer,  Et Al.

Offensively

Fewer interceptions. No highlight here.

For the most part I thought the offense was potent.  A more experienced line will be nice this year.

Looking forward to seeing Fozzy and Malcolm develop.

Rivals.com says that Shipley is looking sick in 7v7.

Special Teams

Blocked Punts...Please, Santa, Please.

Quan was productive and I'm not complaining, but a more explosive return game (insert Ramonce Taylor's Return against OSU 05 here) would be more entertaining.

Overall

No More malaise.  Hopefully Mack has lit a fire under their "grundels." [Warning: Link incredibly NSFW and gross to boot -HB] Hahahaha....

it’s a shout out to whills and his 9600 baud modem. At this point it needs a sticky, because burnt orange people like ”...nt whills”

"He's got no air. There's no air in that body right now."

Of course, at that moment you get a parting shot of Bomar’s grundels. That certain lack of air would have sucked them clean up to the ovary region, which is certainly appropriate.

Whills is this your way of saying that you have broadband?

Perdón, Señor, I shall not make any mention of your internet pioneer days (though I remember the 28.8k days well…fewer pretty pictures then) if you spare me the mental image of Bomar’s grundels. Do we have detente?

DSL, si.

Just a substituteski for the highly visual and new releases from “The Institute for the Very, Very Nervous.” I am just as ashamed as Longhorny.

But, yes, Bomar trying to suck in some air is plenty good to spur our collective schenfraude.

Detente.

Tequila shots all around to clear the palate.

Robison

Bomared him to the point of adding to our lexicon.

What, no Rudy content (yet)?

Shipley

If he can just stay healthy, I have a great feeling about Shipley this year. I’m thinking 60 catches, 9 Td’s, and some end-arounds/ reverses to keep the defense on their toes. If he can only stay healthy….

re: NSFW Link

I don’t know how other people feel about NSFW links here, but I think they’re kind of out of place—a lot of us read this at work and may not have seen the italicized NSFW AFTER the link. I for one was clicking on each link after the text expecting highlights after the first one or two…

That said, awesome post with highlights to boot. We should encourage youtube videos being used as evidence for things we have to say. Sure, the sample size is one, but its a hella interesting way to make a point.

NSFW: The rules

Should be clearly indicated as part of the link, IMO. Also, it may be helpful the indicate the gender of NSFW links.

Put it in the books!!

Lol...

... not my job to do this sort of thing, but I just couldn’t leave it there for other poor folks to stumble on.

Thank you

They really frown on looking at man taint during office hours.

Non-Discrimination Act

They must also frown equally upon looking at girl taint.

Did anyone else...

Laugh their ass off??? Seriously, Dewey Cox was cryin…

OMG! Punt Returns! Ahhhhh

Punt returns frustrated the hell out of me last season. Why in the world were we NOT fielding so many punts and just letting them bounce. Whatever happened to a simple fair catch.

I think we gave up hundreds of yards of field position over the duration of the season by not fielding many of the punts. I’m not blaming any of the players, I blaming the coaches who told them to do so.

I’d love to hear some feedback on this one. ??? Did I dream this up, or am I right on.

"I asked Darrell Royal, the coach of the Texas Longhorns, why he didn’t recruit me and he said: "Well, Walt, we took a look at you and you weren’t any good.
