58 days (give or take a few hours).
2005 defense and special teams. (Music NSFW)
The Horns are loaded at linebacker.
Despite the loss of Muck, Texas remains stacked at linebacker with juniors Keenan Robinson and Emmanuel Acho headlining the returning corps.
The Pokes deserve some respect.
Just when you thought your football team was starting to get some respect, Cowboy fans, the preseason football magazines hit newsstands.
Oklahoma State is picked to finish last in the Big 12 South in not one but two of the publications.
Dan Beebe is no Mike Silve.
Beebe wasn’t free from criticism in Tuberville’s interview. He cited the work Mike Slive and his predecessor Roy Kramer had done as commissioner of the SEC as good examples before questioning Beebe’s leadership.
"It starts with the commissioner," he said, "and I think Mike Slive has done a good job. Roy Kramer did a good job of building a base where everybody was on the same page. And that just has not happened here in the Big 12."
Boone Pickens may be getting impatient.
At 82, Pickens knows he's running out of time as well as patience. So that begs the question about the future of Pokes coach Mike Gundy.
When he pumped nearly $250 million into OSU's football program, Pickens' gift came with only two stipulations. He requested the upgraded facilities to be the best available, and the Pokes must win a Big 12 Conference championship before he heads to that big board room in the sky.
Barking Carnival has a special send-off for the Cornhuskers, Part 2.
Keep the Big 12 brand.
For better or worse, the Big 12 is a brand. It's not the Big Ten, didn't come over on the Mayflower, but Americans know the Big 12 means Texas, Oklahoma and whoever else happens to be a member these days.
And changing the name at this juncture would be a sign of weakness. It would be an accurate sign, but you don't want to confirm what everyone from Beano Cook to Tommy Tuberville is saying.

Dang, those hits made my back hurt
But in 58 days I’ll be ready come early, be loud, and stay late. Hook ’em.
You talk about tough to pick favorites on 2005 D video.
1) Bomar – probably watched that 50-100 times…still great. Justice. Redemption
The smell of unbreathing sooners in the morning. Victory.
2) The OSU receiver in the EZ – slobber knocking, perfect timing.
3) The hit on Mcgee to start the film….he who hesitates gets the triple whammy.
4) Cedric Griffin hit on the SC fullback (#37) reception toward the goal line.
5) The hit on Leinert – how you legally execute it.
6) Huff tackle on SC #86 – how to take down a water buffalo without hypnosis.
Michael Griffin’s INT at the goal line – just absolutely beautiful. Whey you’re hot, you’re hot.
Michael Griffin’s INT at the goal line – just absolutely beautiful. Whey you’re hot, you’re hot.
Objectively, this play is sick. Perfect form, full extension, and he gets a foot down inside the pylon. Picture perfect.
Add to that fact the context:
1. National championship
2. USC v. Texas
3. Matt Leinart is throwing the ball
4. Pretty much every media outlet has already crowned SC the greatest team of all time
and this play gets my vote.
Other Receiving Votes: Oklahoma

PB is going to have a post for favorite 2005 plays.
Boy, it is tough to pick just one…especially if you throw out VY’s scoring run.
Being an old safety, I’m with you. When I was a player, this kind of image was the stuff of my dreams.
Exactly.
If you made one play like this in practice when you were in 7th grade, you’ll remember it today.
Just watched it again. He was out of Leinart’s field of vision when the ball was thrown; must’ve looked like he came from nowhere.

Man I wish youtube wasn't blocked at work
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.
SEC/BIG 12
SEC waaaay too cocky right now. The Big 12 is 3 plays away from winning the MNC game two years in a row.
3 plays
Bradfords two picks (or the play against TT) and McCoy getting hurt. I’m sick of the SEC praise.
McGee hit
That leaves a lump in your throat. There is nothing better than 3 guys taking knocking the ______ out of an Aggie QB.
That is Stephen McGee.
That hit was from his freshman year, when he wore a different number. I think that was his first start, if i’m not mistaken?
Wonder if that was the game that made him cry?

Thanks, Luke.
I went to the A&M web site, into their history to look at the 2005 roster but when I got there, it said the page doesn’t exist. Right, that’s so aggie. I swore it was McGee – I covered him in high school occasionally and in the summer 7-on-7 – but the number wasn’t right. I trusted my instincts (which, unlike the aggie roster site, does exist).
Yeah that's definitely McGee.
Reggie McNeal was out with an injury and the irishman was making his first start.
Sports is man's joke on God, You see, God says to man, 'I've created a universe where it seems like everything matters, where you'll have to grapple with life and death and in the end you'll die anyway, and it won't really matter.' So man says to God, 'Oh, yeah? Within your universe we're going to create a sub-universe called sports, one that absolutely doesn't matter, and we'll follow everything that happens in it as if it were life and death.'" - Sam Kellerman
