Gameday Open Thread (Texas vs. Rice)

Posted by on September 20th, 2008 under Football

We’ve got Barkers in such exotic locales as Napa Valley and College Station. Others have no power so their Internets are down.

Hence, the open thread. Please opine.

  1. Aggies playing some good defense against Miami!

  2. Go play intramurals, Mike Sherman.

  3. Is this why we didn’t get a Bets thread?

    This has to be it for Fulmer.

  5. Thank god the game isnt being broadcast where I am. No, I’d much rather watch florida state play wake forest.

  6. Our first play was that veer-y zone read that I begged for last week. I’s just going to assume I can control outcomes with my mind.

    Is Missouri’s O patterned after Rice’s?

  8. Colt looks a lot quicker this year. He’s going to need to be if our pass defense continues to suck.

  9. We are still running almost entirely 2-3 LB sets, and guys are abusing that underneath. It might be time to break out that 6 DB stuff.

  10. Emily reminds us that our last 8 CBs are playing in the NFL, with 5 being first-rounders. Amazing.

  11. and Rod Babers is on an NFL roster currently according to Fox.

    Other than Colt, running game not looking too good.

    Has McGee’s vision been tested lately?

  14. Colt’s vision is just fine.

  15. Mocking Bird said:

    September 20th, 2008 at 3:23 pm

    McGee is a nice short yardage back, but he is not a starter. He just isn’t.

    I’d like to see more Fozzy, Cody and one of the frosh speedsters (Monroe or Hales).

    You can’t keep asking a downhill runner like McGee to make cuts and start out of standstill.

  16. I’m so glad Emily is the sideline reporter and not Jim “Eyebrows” Knox.

  17. Where’s the Foz?

  18. Who doesn’t love the Flea Flicker. Rice, that’s who.

  19. Nice fondling, Beasley.

  20. Could easily lose 4 potentially 5 games this year due to the LB/ DB play. Nothing against these guys or the coaching, just young and not good right now.

  21. Fozzy was listed as questionable with a knee problem in today’s AA-S.

  22. Mizzou and Tech will destroy the LB/DB’s. Horrible interference call against Beasley

  23. Sergio is a stud

  24. Nice job of keeping the Owls out of the end-zone by the D.

  25. Good lord, A&M’s offense looks better than LSU’s and Auburn’s offenses combined. Big Southern Dummy conference is quite boring to watch.

  26. Well, Irby’s season is over.

  27. That was gross.

    That blows for him. He seemed to really be getting in a groove and enjoying his role on the offense.

    Huge loss. Gigantic loss.

  30. Irby…that was painful to see. The human body is not meant to take that kind of hit.

  31. Yep, Irby looks to begin the Bo Scaife path to one day play in the NFL…in about 2014.

    That was a sick play, and I hope he stays mentally well, and can physically get back to the team when knee allows.

    Other than that, Chiles is pretty much Ramonce Taylor reincarnated. I hope he does not get found with five pounds of weed in his car.

    Hook ‘em!

  32. Well if they find it in his big XII championship game backpack, at least it means we probably beat OU.

  33. I just said a prayer for Irby. I don’t care what color jersey you wear or who you play for, it breaks my heart to see a guy get hurt like that.

  34. That was unfortunate for Texas, but especially for Blaine. He looked like David Thomas with more speed and like David, he played with alot of grit. If I’m not mistaken, the CB hit him earlier in the game, and Blaine was slow to get up after the tackle.

  35. And Irby was our only receiving threat from the TE position.

  36. HornbyMarriage said:

    September 21st, 2008 at 12:56 pm

    Seems to me that kind of hit ought to be illegal.

  37. Hello I’m new here
    And it looks like a good forum, so just wanted to say hello! :):):)
    And looking forward to participating.

    Prescient comment, Doc.

    Good to see that Tom Penders still believes in the weave offense. Maryland finally figured out that if you pass quickly, the middle is always open.

    Doc, the turnovers seemed to do the trick – there were great big chunks of time when Mizzou didn’t even have to get into a half court offense.

    Great to see Ramsey have such a good game and pretty stifle Booker. As Euclid said during the game, even when Mizzou doesn’t play well

    “Also because those other teams gave great effort almost every game. This team’s effort was questionable. Dumb and lazy, not a good combo…..”

    This is what made this season so bizarre for me. This has never been a problem for Barnes’ teams. But I actually questioned this team’s heart and desire to play together

  • srr50 commented on the blog post March Madness Open Thread Part Deaux   6 hours, 12 minutes ago

    Travis Ford spent the 2nd half channeling his inner Rick Barnes — lot’s of standing around on offense while one player tries to generate something off a ball screen — then taking a forced shot.

    So the Big 12 goes 5-2 in Round One.

  • skymonkeyhorn commented on the blog post Barnes worst team   6 hours, 17 minutes ago

    This is the worst coached team ever in Barnes era. Period.
    Worst defense over the whole season,
    Offense sucked big time and the bench coaching was horrible, ransom’s attitude was better then the coach’s overall this season.
    Trips write up pre and post better then the game plan and O schemes.
    Hell we could have

    advertisers think they will probably get some deals for the additional 32 games that would be added. The feeling is that an ESPN would disount rates somewhat, since they already have a dual revenue stream — advertising dollars and subscription fees.

    It’s all about content for ESPN — even mediocre content.

    So far on Day Two, no buzzer beaters, but there was the obligatory #12 over #5 with Cornell thumping Temple 78-65, but the Ivy League school was everyone’s “inside” pick for an upset. Still the day hasn’t come close to generating the action that Thursday had.

  • Patrick Bateman commented on the blog post Barnes worst team   7 hours, 37 minutes ago

    I wasn’t trying to say they quit. They just didn’t play hard a lot of the time. Lazy = lack of effort. Example, our transition defense was about 75% effort and 25% stupidity. We loafed down court a lot. The kids didn’t like to lose so they would fight back,

    This the most disappointing team because our talent level is higher than those others.

    The DGib/Buckman team was the least talented, barely, after the injury to LaMarcus and Tucker’s suspension.
