Boycott Bowl Game?

Maybe I'm the bratty kid that just can't accept losing on the playground, but I feel I may be justified in feeling like we should support boycotting the Fiesta Bowl bid. 

Believe me. I know there is much to gain by winning the Fiesta Bowl; however, how can I be happy knowing that OU is playing for OUR Championship. How can we ever take college football seriously again under these circumstances? I can't.

I know that teams have turned down bids before for reasons such as equal rights for African-American players, but does anyone know of anyone that refused a bid based on the kind of INJUSTICE we have experienced?

I will continue reading posts hear at burntorangenation, but I just can't support college football while robotic beings rule the world(yes that is from Flight of the Conchords)

Garrett Gilbert moves up

Garrett Gilbert moves up to #6 on ESPN 150 Recruits, up from #15.

Gilbert has 30TD/1INT

ESPN says "the hottest signal-caller in this class, " and "Gilbert could make a push for No. 1 overall QB in the class."

I knew nothing of the guy until about 10 minutes ago, so I am pretty sure I am behind on how great this kid really is.

The guy sure has alot to live up to; though, following both Vince Young and Colt McCoy.

Lastly, what are the chances he pulls a Ryan Perriloux?

2b's Texas/OkSt Preview

OKST DEFENSE

Oklahoma State is averaging 47 pts/game. Impressed?

What if I told you that the defenses that Cowboys have seen are not very good? Would that blow your mind? I didn't think so.

The best defense the Cowboys have faced is Missouri. Anyone remember that time we led Missouri 35-0 and went on to post 21 more with the 3rd string?

OKST OFFENSE

Dez Bryant is capable of blowing it up (212 yards against Baylor), (236 yards against Houston); however, Missouri kept him to 47 yards. How?

Well they doubled him and Davis caught some balls while Hunter ran wild.

So the only question we have is....You guessed it

Can we defend Bryant with single coverage???

ACL Fest or Texas game

So what gets your pick for Sep. 27 now that ACL Festival and the Texas-Arkansas game are on the same day. I have 4 tickets to the festival that may be up for sale soon. I just love to see Texas demoralize teams from the SEC. I am still hoping for Texas versus LSU/Florida in the BCS Championship.

 

Holla if you want to throw me some bones to free up my Saturday to see the game.

2008 Schedule

If anyone is good at making desktop wallpapers(apparently I am not), It would be pretty cool to have a BON wallpaper with the 2008 football schedule on it so everyone can easily reference all the games and where it will be broadcasted etc. I know many are with me in that we hate missing games and we love anything that has to do with them. Thanks to the #1 fan that comes up with something.

Worried?

Well needless to say, everyone seems worried about our chances this season. I've seen Mizzu and OU ahead of us and now Tech too. Am I missing something? Last time I checked we were Texas. We have reloaded and developed some young players from last year esp on Defense. I will go ahead and guarantee a spot in the Big 12 Championship. We will smash A&M as well who lost some good players. The schedule is fine. Personally, I think we will be Fiesta Bowling.

Big 12 #1

So at 9-2 in Conference Play tied with Kansas, I assume that we are #1 in the Big 12 winning the tie breaker. Since we don't play Kansas again, if we win out we will win the Big 12 Regular Season and be the #1 seed in the Big 12 touney?

Also I think we will get a #1 seed even if we were to drop one as long as we win the big 12 which would mean another win over KU.

Just needed to ramble a little this morning.

UCLA

So i hope UCLA crushes George Washington tonight. They lead early by 10 or so. Would be nice to sneak up on an over confident Bruins team. However, I feel like to keep up with UCLA aggressiveness we will have to make about 20 3's. Hit it DJ.

What is up with Gary Johnson, any word on him?

Texas leap frogs A&M

After Texas easily won their early tournament, the bball team finds themselves up from #16 to #8 surpassing Texas A&M who sits #9 after winning their tournament as well. Thoughts, Concerns?

How good are we really, best guard play in the country? How will we stack up against big aggressive teams like UCLA?
