why i'm confident

1. the defense will be out for blood in the second half.
2. CU’s defense will wear down.
3. Cody Hawkins is good for 2-3 major fuck-ups.
4. We’re at home.
5. We’re Texas.
6. I’m legally drunk.

Hook ’em!

Where's the blood?

That was eerily like ‘08 TTechish. Hopefully there will be some positive reinforcement ass kicking in the locker room and we’ll see Mr. Bevo Hyde in the 2nd half.

If you guys missed it in the last thread...

and have ESPN 360, go to the 1:41:20 mark of the UNT/UL-LA game… Watch the LE. You won’t see a harder hit than that. Poor QB had no chance.

You have to bring it each week

People need to quit posting that we will win 59-6 or whatever. amd saying that we will roll ou, from what I have seen we will be very fortunate if we can even pull this game out. Every game is its own unique entity and you can not extrapolate what school X did last week or the last 3 weeks, because they obviously wake adjustements, and we were very complacent tonight with not focusing on our opponent.

Possible explanations for our shitty performance

1. Mack really likes Hawkins and would like to keep him around for a looong time
2. Big 12 wants to show the world that they are actually pretty decent conference this year and deserve a fat TV contract next yr
3. GD thinks our OL can successfully run block..or block
