Go Pokes!

With or without Robinson, the Pokes need to steamroll CU tonight. We need to keep the only strong win on our resume.

Hook'em!!

We beat Colorado too...

If you're so sure of what it ain't, how about telling us what it am!

Go Pokes indeed...

for the reason you mentioned and the fact that my girlfriend is an alum…it is better for me when the pokes win.

if OSU loses we clinch the south

go buffs.
don’t say its a foregone conclusion because we got more football to play.

Was that the slowest return for TD ever???

Attention Fox Sports...

You see how ESPN cut away from the replay to show the live action? Yes, that is how you do it.

+1

I thought I was the only one who would get annoyed by that.

by ElMariachiLoco on Nov 19, 2009 7:27 PM CST up reply actions  

I was thinking the same thing…3/4 speed at best

Hook'em!!

Texas = Big 12 South Champs

if Colorado wins Texas is the Big 12 South Champs, so why wouldn’t everybody be rooting for the buffs.

by TexasGarcia37 on Nov 19, 2009 7:06 PM CST reply actions  

(1) We need to retain the quality win.
(2) The likelihood of TX losing to both KU and A&M, plus an OSU win at OU next week are pretty slim

Hook'em!!

I'm watching the game on justin.tv and a cu ad was interrupted...

The game is on ESPN 360

If your provider doesn’t give you access, you can have a friend set up a log in that will give you access.

This could hurt

the Texas strength of schedule. Probably not enough to matter, but it’s something the media may pick up on with any “TCU is better than Texas” arguments. Which would be irritating, if ultimately inconsequential.

by GhostofBigRoy on Nov 19, 2009 9:01 PM CST reply actions  

But doesn't it balance

Since it helps CU’s ranking?

by 40AS on Nov 19, 2009 9:04 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah I thought about that

maybe in the computers it will even out. In all the resume rankings, it will hurt, since OSU is the best win for Texas. Maybe that would sway a few voters to drop Texas behind TCU in the human polls. I don’t know, this stuff makes my mind hurt, so I normally avoid it. If Texas takes care of business the next two games I’m sure everything will be fine.

by GhostofBigRoy on Nov 19, 2009 9:06 PM CST up reply actions  

Agreed

TCU has peaked IMO, we’ve got one more game than them and a tougher closing schedule (not that that’s saying much). TCU has way too much ground to make up.

by 40AS on Nov 19, 2009 9:08 PM CST up reply actions  

I don't think this game matters

that much. I’d be stunned if Texas wins out that they don’t find themselves playing in Pasadena.

That being said, I don’t think the voters have fully factored in how poor the Big XII is this season and how relatively weak Texas’ schedule is. The fact TCU has a slightly better schedule right now according to Sagarin speaks volumes about the Big XII.

by DoubleB on Nov 19, 2009 9:15 PM CST up reply actions  

Oh my

Just got back to my TV. If the Pokes blow this, we’re gonna hear all about what a nancy schedule we’ve faced…

You ain't hurt.

by Peter Bean on Nov 19, 2009 9:15 PM CST reply actions  

We're already hearing it

And with that said CU takes the lead

by seth78 on Nov 19, 2009 9:38 PM CST up reply actions  

D'oh

Fumble

You ain't hurt.

Ugly Ugly game

I'm watching the Dolphins game as well right now

and I’ve found that the Texas offense has given me an acute appreciation of a four-yard gain on the ground.

by GhostofBigRoy on Nov 19, 2009 9:23 PM CST reply actions  

Colorado leads the turnover battle four to zero, and they're winning by four

Basically, if Okie State was playing competently, they’d be winning by two scores.

by TheElusiveShadow on Nov 19, 2009 9:24 PM CST reply actions  

What a stupid, stupid hit by that Buff.

by dimecoverage on Nov 19, 2009 9:33 PM CST reply actions  

Toston Rules

at least in this matchup.

by horndude on Nov 19, 2009 9:35 PM CST reply actions  

Good football player

I like him a little more than Hunter

You ain't hurt.

by Peter Bean on Nov 19, 2009 9:35 PM CST up reply actions  

That's the play

that might put the final nail in Dan Hawkins’ coffin. Two guys blitz and nobody peels off to cover the back.

by DoubleB on Nov 19, 2009 9:36 PM CST reply actions  

That was an unbelievable TD

Kid had to slow down and then speed up and not get caught from behind.

by DoubleB on Nov 19, 2009 9:38 PM CST reply actions  

Wow

This is all happening quick.

by TheElusiveShadow on Nov 19, 2009 9:45 PM CST reply actions  

Dude

Weeden is 26 year’s old? The hell he been before this?

You ain't hurt.

Kentucky beat Sam Houston 102-92

Could they be in trouble this season?

by 40AS on Nov 19, 2009 9:49 PM CST reply actions  

I personally didn't agree with the call

But I thought it was a defensible decision for Belichek.

by TheElusiveShadow on Nov 19, 2009 9:58 PM CST up reply actions  

I'm the opposite

You punt from your own 28 every time, especially on 4th and 2. Their 40 with a chance to put the game away, that’s defensible IMO

by 40AS on Nov 19, 2009 10:00 PM CST up reply actions  

Put the ball in the hands of his best player

to ice the game. Tough to argue with that. I thought the decision was pretty close to 50-50 from a statistical perspective.

by DoubleB on Nov 19, 2009 10:02 PM CST up reply actions  

We need at least ONE opponent in the top 25

Otherwise it’s just going to be embarassing. We’ll have to listen to those TCU mouthbreathers all December.

by notsofst on Nov 19, 2009 10:01 PM CST reply actions  

So?

First off, do you think OSU is going to beat Oklahoma? Based on this game (and I’m aware of the lack of Zac Robinson) they are going to get torched and probably drop to around 20 or so.

Secondly, who gives a crap? I don’t think the chance of TCU passing Texas (provided both win out) is zero, but it’s pretty damn close. Let them talk and enjoy the party in Tempe.

by DoubleB on Nov 19, 2009 10:04 PM CST up reply actions  

I don't care what TCU fans say

They’ve got a winless New Mexico as well as an FCS team on their schedule. Sure our SOS is much weaker compared to last year but at least we didn’t schedule someone like Texas State.

With Apologies To Randy Edsall, The Big East Remains Mostly Harmless
