PrintNo screaming lady, no problem. Colt was terrific, the Horns ran it well enough, and the defense was stellar. This was the performance we've been expecting all year and was very refreshing to see heading into The Season next week in Stillwater. Tonight, we celebrate. We'll take this any day considering Bama needed a miracle to survive, Florida didn't look particularly sharp and USC is struggling to put away Oregon State.

Absolutely ridiculous
ESPN college football page claims that Florida “rolled.” WTF? The Gator bias is incredible.

The 'stat to watch' thing for Florida was:
“Tebow leads #1 Florida” – as if that’s ALL you have to know.
wow
I’ve been waiting for a first half like that since utep. Yeah all we will hear tomorrow is how Florida and Alabama pushed through that tough sec schedule.
I even named my son Kolt.

Texas, Florida, and Bama
all played “bottom-feeders” this weekend, but we were the only team to really show up for our game.

The difference...
…. being Florida has beaten a #9 LSU. Where is our comparable?
EVERY team we have played has at least 3 losses.
--- All roads to the Big-XII Championship lead through OU/RRS. It's not just another game! We're all about championships here. ---
Yeah, ULM was undefeated when we played them!
If you're so sure of what it ain't, how about telling us what it am!
pure BS
OU was 3-2 and Missouri was 4-2 those were winning teams till the horns beat them. Oh yeah OU lost 2 games by 1 point in each game and still has a potent defense.
Alabama has scored 3 touch downs in the last three games boy that’s a national class offense and in those last 3 games McElroy has 2 td and 2 int.
As far as Florida is concerned they did beat LSU which had a wining record but still struggled against 2 teams without a winning record. IN the last three games they have scored 5 TD’s and tebow has 3 td’s and 1 int over the same period.
over the last three games UT scored 11 TD’s and McCoy 5 TDs and 3 int against 2 winning teams and 1 losing team.
LSU is no better than OU
They both suck

LSU has one loss,
…. while we haven’t played a single team without at least 3 losses.
LSU has allowed an average of 13.86 pts/game. Similar to our 13.58/game and against far superior competition.
Personally, I see LSU beating Bama in 2 weeks.

And as for Texas...
“Texas looks impressive to start but struggles to score in second half”
whoever wrote that didn't watch the game
or completely failed to realize that we put in GG shortly after the half.

you don't expect sports writers to think, do you?
or do any actual analysis? your standards are way to high

so it would seem
what can I say? BON and Tim Griffin (at times) have spoiled me for the last year or so…
by The Mack Attack on Oct 24, 2009 10:40 PM CDT up reply actions
they didn't struggle in the 2nd half
They were running clock in the 2nd have then put in their backups
Horns showed up...
Good to see the Horns show up for the first half. I think Chiles will play better by not starting. Malcom Williams needs a little work holding on to the ball…but damn his is all world on special teams! All over the field!
USC is SO AWESOME!
Can’t wait to hear how good USC is this week for beating the unranked Oregon St Beavers by 7….it’s official the announcers just said USC escaped…ok let’s see what the rest of the media says about the game…
herbie predicted USC and tOSU could play for MNC
after their suck ass game earlier this year. when did he get to be such a tool?

Winning or not losing on a last second play...
equal half a loss. Please note when you consider Alabama and Iowa in your polls.
i won't tell you that lou just said
that bama deserved to win because they played well.
thank God Mark May called him out
Hey at least its not as bad as
Mike Patrick and Craig James saying Matt Barkley should be in it for the Heisman…I wonder what all those former great Heisman trophy winners who worked their asses off would say about the most coveted football trophy being a popularity contest now…
I'm so glad they've moved on
from Tate Forcier. Until Michigan lost to Sparty, ESPN was an unbearable Barkley-Forcier-Tebow lovefest, with special attention on Forcier and Barkley as the freshman phenoms. Ugh.
yeah no kidding,
and I’ll put money down saying that even if GG plays lights out next year, he won’t get noticed till the year after..
barkley's stats
are so underwhelming: projected to throw 10 tds on season, 2675 yards (per espn). some people are fooled by his typical usc arrogance into thinking he is that good.

I'm assuming
that the receiver was considered “forced out” by our back, and got back in bounds as soon as he could (debatable), so there was no inconclusive reason to overturn the call. Bogus, but understandable I suppose.
If you're so sure of what it ain't, how about telling us what it am!
No wonder Major left
With Tennessee crowding the box to stop Heisman Trophy candidate running back Mark Ingram (99 yards on 18 carries), Alabama did not throw downfield to keep the Volunteers honest. That left Saban sounding annoyed with offensive coordinator Jim McElwain’s game plan.
“We can’t be so risk-aversive,” Saban said. “We’ve got be more aggressive in what we’re doing on offense right now.”
Saban throws his OC under the bus rather than accept any blame for the near disaster.
Still a Blaine Irby fan

Major left?
C’mon…. it was common knowledge Saban was about to demote him to QB coach. Fortunately, his call to Greg Davis didn’t go unanswered.
--- All roads to the Big-XII Championship lead through OU/RRS. It's not just another game! We're all about championships here. ---
Two sides of the same coin.
Saban likes to throw his coordinators under the bus. He was about to do that with Major and demote him. Therefore Major left. Same idea.
I am....
A very happy man. My son’s team won this morning, and the Horns rolled tonight. It was an awesome football day. Now to deal with Okie Lite… I expect there will be drama. They are too good not to give us some, especially in Stillwater. I still think we get them by 10 though
Play like you mean it...
I feel just like I did in 05
Can Colt do a pump fake followed by an 80 yard td run? That’d pretty much make my night.

A complete win....

So I left for the Halloween party a little after halftime...
…and when I checked the score on my phone, it appeared you guys let things go to hell. Seriously, only six points in the entire second half?
I’ll be watching the DVR to see who will draw the ire of my finger-pointing.

Oh, did ABC switch over?
Usually they seem to do that stuff regionally, so I hope they didn’t do it here in the mid-atlantic.
