Second Half Open Thread

take a deep breath and make some halftime adjustments.  Only being down 10 and getting the ball we can run our normal O (or as normal as it gets with Chiles) and get back in it.  No more 85 yard returns, pick 6's etc and we'll be ok.  

Let Vince do the halftime peptalk!

what happens in the polls?

I hope he talks to Chiles at halftime

time to change shirts. worked when we trailed tcu by 10 at the half ...

didn't everything look so good last week?

and a special teams TD.

captain obvious says, we need to eliminate the turnovers, go back to the defense we were playing between the 1st and last KSU series, and we should be able to put up enough points to win.  keep digging the hole deeper, and we're in trouble.

AW reports from DKR that it has begun raining and the wind is gusting.

And shorts, and shoes, hat, and coozie. All new burnt orange now. We're good now. all good.

AW now says it's pouring

But with OU & West Virginia going down....if things work out on the West Coast....and our team sucks it up....

WE COULD BE # 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The INT return and kickoff return and last INT ALL happened when everybody kept flipping back to see the OU game

Usually favors an offense with speed. With Chiles, we should be fine as long as he doesn't turn the ball over.

We just need to come out and eliminate the pick 6 stuff and special teams touchdowns, and we're fine.  K-State's offense has not looked that awesome we can win this game we just need to get it on... with spurs baby.

in houston over halftime as well.  weird.

Given the weather, Colt's injury, and Colt's struggles - why not play Chiles?

Where's Sweed and Pittman

Oh beautiful punt!

we cant get a punter.

In spite of Davis even!

Sweed can't hold on to the catch.

by Colt McCoy!

I don't think he was ever hurt. From what it seems, his own helmet kinda of got him dazed from the fall, but he's OK now.

COACHES HAVE TO SUB SUB SUB.

Are too predictable. They know exactly what we're gonna do.

This is pretty pitiful.

Finley is a freak.

needs more balls.

Cobb playing well again. Great run.

Muck and Norton MUST PLAY.

Like Anthony Gonzalez torched us in the Ohio State game last year.

Maybe that was a drunken mistake.

Oh, wait....SHIT!!!

We're alive, for now.

C'mon guys.

Only 1 offensive TD in the game...opening drive.  How big was the stop right before half?

You can just feel the electricity building....
And KSU is wearing down...
This is where all those tough games pay off !

They should've punted/pooched it. Now we start around midfield.

We need north and south plays....now

Colt's passes are getting tipped, or he's getting too much pressure.

I just threw up on my dog!

If we can hold them to another FG, we can still take the lead with a TD.

I did like the backwards pass to Chiles though. That brings a new dimension. Note how wide open Oggy was. Next time, we could fake that throw and Colt could run or pass to an open receiver.

kicking ass today

WE ARE GONNA WIN THIS........

Big hit on Nelson, and not being fooled on trick plays.

Once again, KSU must settle for the FG. I am optimistic. We just have to STOP THE TURNOVERS!

This is now 20 KSU points from turnovers or special teams.

Chins up guys!

Down 6 and struggling most of the game. Touchdown drive would be tremendous

waste this field position...

UNBELIEVABLE. He's destroying us.

our special teams were good?

This is so damn embarrassing!  They should strip the TEXAS from the front of their jerseys because they arent seeming like they should be playing here.

Attributed to special teams or turnovers.

A mis-tackle resulted in all this.

I can't remember the last time a player had a game like he is having at DKR.

Thats an A&M statement, we dont wait until next year.

I got Navy right in the pick 'em contest...

So who's fault is this? Colt's passing technique or the O-line?

Looks like Colt's being too predictable because he looks at the receivers.

Pathetic. QB controversy?

Are you kidding me?  Get his ass out of there, start running the fucking ball!  

His confidence is shot.  He's lost his calm in the clutch.

said it best earlier, Colt can make a team decent, but they will never be dominant.  Get Chiles in there and get him some work for next week.  If our Offense makes K-States D look this good can you imagine what OU is gonna do to us.  

He must be embarrassed. A loss and no chance for MNC.

the Big 12 North is the better half...?

sorry for our D.  People are gonna see this and say that our D sucks ass(I say our upperclass LB's).  But really, COLT has put our D in very very bad situations.

We're tied with OU for last place in the Big XII.

Home game - revenge game - and to be outplayed, outcoached, outmuscled like this is embarrassing.  I love Mack, but something's got to be done after this debacle.

after the Rice game.

The only thing missing now are safeties and punt/FG blocks.

is the big one.  All this talk about how were gonna have this "swarming" defense and our offense is gonna throw it up and down the field.  Well, how do you expect to throw it up and down the field when we call 80 5 yard out plays a game and Colt cant throw the ball high enough to get it over the D-line.  Horrible coaching both on Mack and GD for not calling more rollouts and getting Colt outside the pocket so he can throw without traffic.

quiting!  Everyone of those guys needs their scholarships taken away.

as a Texas and Saints Fan.  

Now we need three unanswered touchdowns.

we could get the swim team to coach the football team?  Could it be much worse?

instead of watching the special teams game film for us, why not watch what K-State did to completely make our "talented" players look like freaking idiots.  

Mack needs to man up and say hey we didnt have our guys prepared for a game.  Lose is on the coaches today.  Colt played like crap and put our defense in bad situations.  We didnt tackle well, we flat out sucked.

Mack Brown needs to give a game check back.  Fuck hes making way too much to put a team like this on the field.  They could cut the pay by two thirds and I would put a better team out there.

Can't blame them. Short pass after short pass.

punt - stop 'em - score - onside kick - score - onside kicj - score

The only reason this game hurts less than last years is because I didnt think of K-State winning as even a remote possibility last year.

We may have a good punter on our hands. That last punt was ridiculous. Wasn't that Moore?

just maybe, Ron Prince is an intergalactic emperor.  He sure made one of the most historic football schools in the history of football look like Baylor.

I haven't seen a post by him in awhile. I'm concerned.

a god after all.  I was optimistic after I realized the Undrae Wear wasnt calling the game...

of fucking field position and time.  Get his ass out of there now!

WTF is wrong with McCoy? If he can't throw because of an injury, he should've f*cking pulled himself out.

player today.  Colt sucks big balls today.  Way to throw a pass behind the fucking line of scrimmage on 4th and 8.  Stupid shit like that is what makes him normal.  And he wont win the big games.

has officially changed to just getting into a BCS bowl. That was supposed to happen last year. The only way that's going to happen is winning the Big XII. RRS is now much bigger.

Think about this. If we lose to OU, we might be in for another Alamo Bowl.

Does anybody know the owner of the domain name FIREGREGDAVISTHEINVENTOROFTHEWORSTFUCKING
PLAYINHISTORYKNOWNASTHEBUBBLESCREEN.COM???

another player who looked so good for a year and then completely tanked it the next?

When was basketball season start? Now THAT'S a team I'm excited about if Gary Johnson does indeed play.

...the other half wants to go stab somebody in the neck. Maybe ABC's bad luck or something. Funny, OU loses and I still feel like shit.

look at the schedule, the goal is to finish above .500 in the Big 12 and just get to a bowl game.

Oklahoma
at Iowa State
at Baylor
Nebraska
at Okie State
Texas Tech
at A&M

I'm looking at 5 possible losses.  Embarrassing!

still speaking as if there's hope.  Pass that good shit down here!

I wish CFB was played on Sundays...then my entire weekend wouldnt be shot.

For showing up today. I hope PB gives them a decent grade in his recap. It's the only unit that showed up today in the 2nd half.

So anyone think Chiles should be the starter for the RRS?

says that maybe this is the flat out, straight up, ass whooping we needed.  Maybe not though, maybe we just arent a good football team.  Damn I hate saying that.  We should drop out of the top 25, maybe then they'd start playing like they dont just deserve to be there.

Colt = Chance Mock?

At least give the fans in the stadium a small glimpse of hope that Texas actually wants to win

like that analogy...

Colt:Chance::Chiles:Vincish(not vince, because noone is vince)

NO WAY this team deserves to go to the NC game even with one loss!  

Florida with one, USC with one, LSU with one, OU with one, WVU with one, Cal with one and the list goes on, are so much better than us right now that anyone of them with one loss would get in WELL before we are even thought of for it.

Well, this frees up my fucking Saturdays.  See y'all in '08.

KSU's avg points against Texas the last 2 years

but I think you're lying to yourself if you can say you didn't see it coming.  This team has been B-A-D all year, except for the Rice game.  

You guys talk a lot about wins and losses, but the reason I (and several other people) bitched during that four-game win streak was that we could see aching, glaring problems with this team.  

This is the first time I've ever felt our team was overrated in regard to its ranking.  I wish I could point my finger at one part of the team and blame it, but truthfully, we've had problems from top to bottom all year (or since last year).  

Sure it's possible for us to get to a BCS game, but that's an uphill battle at this point.  I think we need to refocus and concentrate on beating our rivals.  It's the best thing we can get out of this season.

I say at least 3!  How many more like this is it going to take for Mack to realize HE is not getting it done!  Terrible game plan+terrible execution+ no desire = ASS WHIPPING!  

Embarrassing display today.  

First, we give up a legit offensive TD to K-State for their first 7 points.

The next 34 points scored by KSU came from INTs and kickoff returns.

CAN YOU FUCKING BELIEVE THAT SHIT?!

make me sick.  It's still a loss and it hurts but nobody died and the world is not ending.  What, did you become fans in '05 or something?  Yea, we we're not supposed to lose this one this bad but McCoy and the special teams let us down.

If you want to be bitch in a positive manner then go ahead but the fire mack or davis talk should be backed up with some details rather than drunken ramblings.  

Colt does not equal Chance Mock and the big 12 north is not "our daddy".

Take your pessimism to hornsfans b/c this is this place for constructive and accurate criticism.  Believe me, it IS warranted.

... and with that loss, I think my entry this week is better labeled College Don't Pick'em. Oy.

that needs to be drugg out behind the barn and shot.  Either that or someone needs to give that old man some weed for his cataracts and for a damn imagination for play calling.  Running the same shit, halfback shotgun snap draws up the middle makes me wanna puke.  It may have worked with Vince, but for God's Sakes- its time to move on.  

Hate to say it- but its time to look to the future.  We can start building now instead of continuing the same crap that is simply not working.  Time to let Chiles play I say. And more importantly, time to cut your losses with J. Charles. And most importantly, time to get some coaches on staff that light a fire under their players' asses and use logical play call reasoning.

I've got a postgame thread up, and everyone's free to mourn however they need to.

Just follow the community rules - be nice to one another, and do your best not to go too far when you talk about a player. Criticism - particularly analytical criticism - is warranted and welcome. Just be sane about it.

Thanks.
