FAU

Last two Florida Atlantic games: 17-0 loss to Michigan State and 37-3 loss to Minnesota today, not exactly powers . . . kinda downgrades that 52-10 opener.

Game on radio in OKC?

Anyone know of an OKC station that carries Horns games? I know, weird question. It’s for my parents, they’re driving through.

by Kool Hand on Sep 20, 2008 5:54 PM CDT reply actions  

okc radio

no okla station scheduled to carry (according to UT’s list) . . . might try 660 AM out of Dallas; it comes in down in Texas and may have the push to get to OKC. That or 760 AM out of S. Antonio look like the best bets

by edsp on Sep 20, 2008 5:59 PM CDT up reply actions  

I appreciate the feedback, folks

I think I’ll just call my parents every few minutes until they get into Dallas radio range. Hook ’em!!!

by Kool Hand on Sep 20, 2008 6:10 PM CDT up reply actions  

Game is on in Houston

Comcast 76, as noted in the fanposts. I was a little worried, but it IS on.

by littlevisigoth on Sep 20, 2008 6:02 PM CDT reply actions  

wtf??

so they bumped it from an HD channel to standard def?? this blows

by buiyahkah on Sep 20, 2008 6:09 PM CDT up reply actions  

don't know

if they can show different broadcasts between HD and regular. i’ve seen before where they show a Rangers game listed on the HD channel, but it’s colored bars and Astros on 37.

by littlevisigoth on Sep 20, 2008 6:13 PM CDT up reply actions  

62-14

Hell, I thought I wasn’t going to get to see this but it is on the regular Fox SW channel. Hot dog. Just got in. Great surprise.

by whills on Sep 20, 2008 6:06 PM CDT reply actions  

That would be great for me too

Except the house I’m now living in does not have this channel! There’s no radio in the room I’m staying in either, so it looks like I’m stuck with Gamecast and reading BON posts.

by goingforthecorner on Sep 20, 2008 6:08 PM CDT up reply actions  

Damn, sorry to hear that.

I was resigned to listening to the radio – which I actually like to do – and the live blog. Remind us if we don’t give enough detail. Gamecast can get rather shy on key plays.

by whills on Sep 20, 2008 6:10 PM CDT up reply actions  

likewise

Comcast 76 on this cable is blank. Mine,of course, is a casualty of Ike.

“Game 3: Rice Owls (2-1) vs #17 Texas Longhorns (2-0)”

can we fix it, to avoid a jinx?

by NYCHorn on Sep 20, 2008 6:08 PM CDT reply actions  

my sooner bro

says the OU kicker can’t get it out of the end zone. So the Sooners have at least one weakness …

by NYCHorn on Sep 20, 2008 6:13 PM CDT up reply actions  

They got around contain

and the downfield guys played it poorly.

by whills on Sep 20, 2008 6:13 PM CDT reply actions  

Our opponents..

always come out jacked up to play UT. I think that has something to do w/ the opening defensive drives. Let’s get a stop here!

I agree, that third down play was much better...

It’s early, the D is settling in. Good job to hold Rice to three points on both of those drives where they chewed up yardage.

by the1austin on Sep 20, 2008 6:32 PM CDT up reply actions  

What was once

a 14-0 game is now 31-7. Shutouts are almost flukes with today’s rules and offenses

That drive

reminds me of the 2005 offense. Great return, 3 plays and a TD.

by longhorn543 on Sep 20, 2008 6:41 PM CDT reply actions  

We're not face up on the slot receiver.

Need to get tighter inside the first-down line. Clements is too accurate to leave that wide open.

by whills on Sep 20, 2008 6:44 PM CDT reply actions  

how about

presssing all the receivers at the line and inviting them to try and throw deep?

i dont like shootouts…not when it comes to the Longhorns.

I see a 99 yard drive coming up

clement, best qb in the big 12?

that guy is amazing, none of the other qb’s with the exception of griffin can do what he does. bradford and harrell wish they could run the football like that. i honestly believe he could be one of the best quarterbacks Texas sees all year.

The only concern so far? McGee: 6 rushes for 16 yards

Rice’s d is tiring out though, he should be able to get that average up.

Habit for me, strange shenanigans from others.

NT means no text. From the time when updated comments had to be opened. So, it alerted users that they didn’t have to open the comment. A little courtesy and timesaver. However, on this site that seldom happens.

Other explanations may vary.

No radio boardcast, but it doesn’t look like I need it now anyway. I went to HEB so that’s why I was out.

The offensive stats as I see on yahoo are so refreshing to see. The multiple goal line stands must have been exciting to witness.

Just sucks to find out that Irby will probably be gone for awhile.

by goingforthecorner on Sep 20, 2008 9:10 PM CDT reply actions  

OK. Went to other thread and didn't see this for now.

I shudder for Irby. Looked bad. Dislocation at the least.

Stats are great, though. Over 600 yards last I heard. The record is 611.
