Baylor Game as "Texts From Last Night"...

PrintThis past week, I kept telling myself that the loss to Iowa State would be rock-bottom for this season. I didnt know if we'd actually beat Baylor (or KSU or OSU or A&M), but I didnt know how the team could possibly look any worse than last week. The pitiful performance against ISU was reflected in the text messages I received during the game. The team was so bad last week that it was almost comical. Some of the texts last week were pretty funny. Tonight, they were mostly sad. And angry. The type of anger that transcends humor.
After the jump, and in the spirit of textsfromlastnight.com, I wanted to share some text conversations with the BON Community...like last week, a few of these entries were contributed by other BON authors.
(xxx): If you were an elite RB, where would you go to school?
(xxx): Texas
(xxx): Ok, where would you *objectively* go to school?
(xxx): Oregon.
(xxx): Or Alabama. Or Nebraska.
(xxx): I agree. You can stop now.
(xxx): Are you doing a "text" post for this game?
(xxx): Probably...
(xxx): What do I have to do to make it?
(xxx): Say something poignant or funny...
(xxx): If we lose, I will freaking lose my (mind) and beat the (heck) out of someone wearing a (bad) costume.
(xxx): Sadly, that might work....
(xxx): Why is Curtis Brown still fielding punts?
(xxx): Because "we're texas." Seems to be the best and worst thing about this program right now.
(xxx): The Rangers are playing into November. I'm worried the Longhorns are going to quit in October.
(xxx): FALL ON THE BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!! (from multiple people)
(xxx): It's true. Hix is the Flozell Adams of this football team.
(xxx): We play football like Jordan Hamilton plays defense. And that's saying something.
(xxx): No leadership from this team. It's like Roy's senior year.
(xxx): We no longer "own" DKR...instead, we decided to start renting it to our opponents this season.
(xxx): We should just start rushing 11 at every punt.
(xxx): Baylor? (from an OU fan)
(xxx): I'm killing myself. This is pathetic.
(xxx): You dont get to kill yourself. Misery needs company.
(xxx): I can’t watch, tell me when it’s over.
(xxx): Lemme know if we make a comeback.
(xxx): Just stopped Baylor. Getting ball back.
(xxx): Ok, you'll NEVER guess what just happened on the punt...
(xxx): You're joking. You have to be joking.
(xxx): We just ran the ball, inside the 10, down 11, with 4 minutes to go.
(xxx): And we just did it again.
(xxx): And now a timeout!!!!! WOW!
(xxx): The plane has crashed into the GD mountain.
(xxx): Should I keep caring about this team? It really doesnt look like they care if they win or not.
(xxx): Did anyone look like they wanted to be there tonight?
(xxx): RGIII. And Finley. And Briles. Well, all of their guys.
(xxx): Duh. What about our guys?
(xxx): No.
(xxx): Does THIS mean Greg Davis is finally gone?
(xxx): Dunno. Still not sure.
(xxx): : (
(xxx): This is funny when it happens to ND and USC.
(xxx): Not so much when it happens to us.

mom: You should just sell the rest of your tickets
- Baylor scores another touchdown *
mom: scratch that, just burn them
me: (jokingly) maybe I should have gone to OU
mom: yeah, but then where would you stay over winter break?
Your mom is awesome.

I know it's ugly
It’s time to face the fact that this team has issues that won’t be settled this year. Next question is how we’re going to handle it.
Opposing recruiters would like nothing better than to see everyone melt down and go ballistic right about now. How about instead we pull together and support a bunch of 18-22 year olds who look like they don’t really know what they’re doing right now and are starting to think their fans have turned on them.
You pulled for them last year. What are you gonna do this year?
The coaches, I might add, should be fair game to whatever criticism we choose to direct their way. I’ll start by suggesting that they consider giving back some of those big bucks this year to charities.

my texts
(me) dude. dude.
(friend) I know. we lost to baylor.
(friend) I’m scared to turn on espn in fear that something from our game will be on.
(me) no. no. something else…myck kabongo decomitted from the bball team.
(friend) did he watch the football game and decommit?
written in another thread and texted to a friend:
Me: If we lose this game I am going to go swimming with the Guardian of the Reef.
Friend: Who is the Guardian?
Me: A 14 foot Tiger Shark named Peaches
Friend: The Guardian awaits
Hey, the system is not perfect. But, it's better than the one we had. Um, really? Joe Paterno led 4 undefeated teams under the old system that were not National Champions. With this "better" system, we've only had to endure a BCS controversy OR an inconclusive end to the following seasons: 1998, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009.
Not texted but depressingly awesome
From my dad (A&M grad, marticulated during the Bear Bryant era): That was awful. I felt like I was watching A&M after Bear left…But Brown’s still THERE.
proud to swim home
Ouch
So far this one hurts the most.

Me: Fuckin' baylor! U kidding me?
My buddy: Texas….what starts here changes who you want to root for.
Me: Fuckin' baylor! U kidding me?
My other buddy: Man I have no words. This Texas team sucks. Reminds me of the mid Mackovic years. Forgot what it feels like.

just as pissed as your are Sneezy, stop reading DON’T KILL YOURSELF BOOKS and let’s hang on even if this ship is going down this season, we rebuild and reload better than anyone else in the NATION. We will get better.
To whom much is given, much is tested...
"we will get better"
only because we can’t possibly get any worse
Take comfort knowing this...
The more you guys lose, the more Husker fans everywhere rip out (remaining) hairs because of the loss to Texas (again!?).
The good news is- seasons like this tend to happen to good programs at some point. Ask OU about the 1990’s. And ask us Nebraska fans about 2007…oh wait please don’t because that will remind us of the COZ of our frustrations (reference to Kevin Cozgrove, the worst defensive coordinator in college football history). And then there was Billy C…the moron who referred to nebraska fans (aka the hand that fed him) as “effing hillbillies.” And Tom Osborne as a "Crusty old f****) Which in the state of Nebraska is pretty much the equivalent of taking a dump on the pope to Catholics.
The point is, weather the storm. After that disaster of a season stuff changed, and 3 years later we’re doing pretty well. I’m not saying firing your coaches is the solution to the problem…for us it was, but for you it may be just weathering the storm. Mack Brown is a good coach, and so is Will Muschamp. They just don’t know how to motivate a team that keeps losing because they haven’t been through that before. But through all this they will learn, as will the rest of your talented team. Next season I’m guessing you’ll win at least 10 games.
Well said, sir
It’s Huskers like you that almost make me feel bad about that win (but not that bad). I’d definitely trade it for wins in the last three home games and a shot at seeing you guys again in the title game. Spot on about Mack and Will. I’m pretty sure the third guy sealed his own fate last night with a couple of dive plays in the middle with three minutes left. Here’s to change.
Win out and beat OU for us.

Man, some of the shit y'all post, you'd think yall WANTED recruits to go elsewhere
It’s a bad fucking year. Happens to the best. Recruits won’t be swayed by that. It’s when everyone around the program starts turning on each other and publicly criticizing everyone that turns recruits off. I’m sick of reading this crap. Get rid of it, it’s not needed- it does NO GOOD.
I agree....
But all the positive thinking in the world can’t hide the bullshit every recruit sees on the TV when watching a Texas game this season.

This says it all...
What Would Greg Davis Do? http://bit.ly/aPsBay
That was mentioned last week in Dime's BDR
but I felt like it needs a front page post or something, because I’ll bet a relatively small portion of BON’ers have actually seen that, and that is something every BON’er needs to see.

Never ask a man if he's from Texas. If he is, he'll tell you soon enough. If he's not, don't embarrass him.
not a text but a call
20 seconds after the game is over. Phone rings. I answer.
My mom: hahahahaha SIC ’EM BEARS!!!!!

both
along with grandparents, great-grandparents, all my aunts and uncles on both sides except one, and several cousins. My sister and I were huge disappointments by attending UT. My grandfather was never more proud of me than he was the summer I took two classes at Baylor.

Please don't let this be the beginning of a slide into Notre Dame-ness
GD drives me insane and has cost me several remotes and a coffee table, but I fear over-reacting and ruining the program. Like Notre Dame lost itself years ago. And even the Aggies firing Slocum. And Tech firing Leach. And….. we must remember that the same crew got us to the NC game last year and would have won if GD hadn’t have run McCoy into the teeth of Alabama’s defense. Grrr. OK, fire him!
Have you changed your moniker since the last coffee table incident?
I recall someone last year, a ’Horn fan in Alabama, with a different moniker but a similar attitude towards coffee tables. Joking.

No, that wasn't me.
But GD is good for the furniture business. The big-furniture lobby keeps him employed. Ha.
I think the answer with Greg Davis...
Is to place electrodes on his scrotum before every game and give him a few hundred volts every time he calls a screen play.
Why, have they never worked? Ever?
Ya we need the wr’s out there to block for it to work, and they’re not getting it done. So I suppose that’s a reason we shouldn’t call it anymore, but not because it’s a bad play.
RB carousel
I haven’t bothered to look up the final stats, but didn’t it seem like we were running the ball well with Cody in the first half, and then inexplicably put in Tre in the second half only to have him fall down at first contact? Did they draw straws as to who would play each half? And fumbling the punt twice in one year inside your own 5? That’s on the coaches.
"Only angry people win football games." --DKR
FALL ON THE BALL!!!!
it occurs to me that the reason the players (particularly) on defense don’t fall on the ball and instead try to pick it up and run with it is that they see our anemic offense and realize the only hope for a touchdown is for them to score it. To give the ball to offense is to guarantee a field goal try at best — if the other team helps out with a couple of personal foul penalties to overcome our false starts to keep our drive alive.
Ive gotten
about 12 “are you still alive” and “dont kill yourself” texts since last night
I sent this text to a friend....
“I’m new to football…..explain to me why Texas always kicks the ball through those poles, but other teams always use the painted part of the field to score their points?!?”
Friend: If you would have sold me those tix I would have left the game, gotten into my car, driven to your house, and punched you right in the face.
Me:As long as you made me unconscious, I would have thanked you.

Last week after the Iowa State game
A friend texted me: “At least it can’t get worse than losing to Iowa State, probably the easiest conference foe.”
My reply: “Haha, well, we can lose to Baylor.”
“Bleh.”
And then Saturday happened. I guess we can take solace in the fact that Baylor is a lot better than ISU.
