Comments on: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly – Rice http://barkingcarnival.fantake.com/2008/09/21/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-rice/ Texas Longhorns and sports Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:02:05 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: TWC http://barkingcarnival.fantake.com/2008/09/21/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-rice/comment-page-1/#comment-20505 TWC Tue, 23 Sep 2008 15:17:24 +0000 http://barkingcarnival.fantake.com/eyesoftx/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-rice#comment-20505 Bobino was one of the two players I caught directing the defense on the field. The other player was Blake Gideon. I think that is a large part of why he keeps getting the start, despite the fact that he can't seem to stop taking bad angles and blowing coverages.

Maybe bobino works much harder in practise, or plays a key role in realtime organizing the LBs during the game, or has a better attitude than Norton, or simply graded better in the UTEP game. Who knows? At least Muck and Sergio are starting and there were a bunch of tipped balls and sacks by the DL against (lowly) Rice. 8Straight:

After watching the (young) stable of running backs at A&M and Colorado you have to wonder how UT missed the boat.

Hard to know if this is a function of our guys improving or the opposing OLs getting weaker, but we'll find out soon enough. romavicta: it seems to me the pressure applied by the front four has improved each week.

At least this year I feel confident that coach Muschamp will work to get it fixed.

I can't really relate to Cher being sexy anymore (the amount of plastic surgery makes her look strange to me). The gambling writeup was both very interesting and a little bit depressing. The loss of Irby is devastating. Maybe it is time to limit all initial contact to above the waist, there are way too many knee injuries in football. Irby is one of those rare guys who can motor, blocks great, and catches great. It will be interesting to see if GD just tries to plug in Greg Smith at TE and run the same plays or if GD changes up the O quite a bit. Everybody seems to be down on vondrell right now but he seems to be pretty quick and have some power. Maybe a big part of the problem is the horns' running scheme and run blocking. Maybe big Greg Smith will improve the blocking some. It has been a long time since UT recruited a 5 star TB. The inability to maintain contain was a bit alarming but can be fixed. The difficult in chasing down the Rice QB is even more alarming. It is hard for me to tell how good the horns are (including Colt) because the horns have not played any tough competition. The Colorado game should be instructive. Really interesting writeup. I can’t really relate to Cher being sexy anymore (the amount of plastic surgery makes her look strange to me).

The goal-line stand was intense loud, and Rice's coach attributed a few other miscues to crowd noise. Missouri's going to get hell. I would add to the good: “Crowd Noise”

Have you tried only clicking on posts authored by those two? Now granted it might not be as badass as anonymous internet insults but life's always a trade off. “I really wish that TripsRight and Scipio would just start their own blog, everything else on this website has become downright terrible.”
