This is getting redonkulous.
Starting right tackle Ryan Miller suffered a broken lower left leg against Florida State and will miss the next 4-6 weeks. That’s now two starting offensive linemen they’ve lost in a week.
Think Texas will take advantage of their inexperienced offensive line?

I find it hard to pick against a Cuse team just because it lost its final two games to (1) a pumped up Louisville team on Senior Day in the last game at Freedom Hall and (2) a solid Georgetown squad that made it to the Big East Final and had also lost its prior

I agree with your first two points 100%. We have to land Ratliffe, and fortunately there seems to be some good news on that front. I read that he canceled his remaining official visits after coming to Arkansas and then going through Alabama on his way back to Florida. The Hogs have the biggest need

Here’s a concern for Kindle other than the pubs. I still think he compares well to Anthony Spencer of Dallas….
Texas OLB/DE Sergio Kindle registered an unimpressive 10-yard split at the Combine at 1.65 seconds.
Some scouts reportedly had Kindle at 1.70 seconds. Kindle’s forty time (in the 4.65-4.71 range) was impressive, but he doesn’t have

Are you sure about the 1.89 ERA? If you got this number from TexasSports.com STATS page, they haven’t updated for Sunday’s shutout yet. The STATS web intern is probably on spring break.

Go west young man. There’s gold in them there hills, which probably sits well with the 12th seeded UTEP Miners.
There’s little resistance in this bracket relative to the other regions and that should sit well with the Syracuse Orangemen. At least it should if the Orange are healthy.

I have to agree with 3_from_the_corner.
I’ve absolutely hated the way we’ve looked against zone defenses. We don’t have anyone that can just kill it from the outside (Hamilton maybe, but he’s on the bench more often than not). Kentucky’s offensive efficiency is about on par with ours, so it could turn into a defensive struggle.

Nobody likes Posada. His mid game arguments with Jose Contreras were legendary and entertaining to watch. Stottlemeyer used to have to go out to the mound just to get them to on the same page.

Texas has been the most consistent team in the Big 12. Outside of a terrible game against Oklahoma and a great game against Nebraska, we’ve played about the same, game in and game out. We’re consistently bad away from home, and mediocre against tournament-quality teams (KU, KSU, Baylor). Guess what? There are no home games

Patrick, I think your assessment on Clausen is pretty much on. He won’t be throwing at his pro-day so he may slip a bit as a result. One thing I think he does have going for him that I haven’t heard much mention of is that he is very tough, and extremely competitive.

Good call BateMan, my brackets have been burned by Syracuse before. The abundance of 3 pt. attempts in the tournament makes the 2-3 teams somewhat vulnerable to a hot shooting performance.

Burnett really likes his curveball and throws it a lot. It can be really wicked, and you have to have a good defensive catcher to catch it. So I think Posada calls for more fastballs because he can handle them easier.

Yah… you called off the dogs alright… that’s why, after you already had 70 points on the board, you blitzed LB Drew Kelson late in the 3rd quarter who ended up putting Klatt in the hospital with an illegal hit!!??! Called off the dogs didja? D1cks.

If you’re mad because the hit was helmet to helmet, fine, it happens. There wasn’t intent to injure Klatt, and I feel for the guy. While it sucks that he didn’t get to play in the following bowl game, it’s not like the hit kept him from playing pro ball. Hits like that happen every season. If you remember, Colt suffered a similar hit at home from A&M.
However, our 3rd string and walkons did get rotated in during the 2nd half. What else would you have us do? Play shorthanded?
And remember the last time we played Colorado in the Big 12 Championship game for a shot at the National Title? We lost. So you can excuse us for not wanting to repeat that mistake with a trip to Pasadena on the line.

1. Drew Kelson was a reserve.
2. I was at the game. It was 70-3 in the middle of the 3rd quarter.
3. We purposefully stopped trying to score in the middle of the 3rd. If we’d wanted to pour it on, it would have been 91-3. And I’m not exaggerating.
4. I hate fans – ours and others – who whine about the score getting run up.
Huckleberry said:

Not to mention we didn’t blitz Kelson. He had man responsibility on the running back (you might remember he had the same responsibility on Reggie Bush a month later) but the back stayed in to block. So Kelson rushed. Except the back didn’t block him.
Essentially Klatz got clobbered because you guys sucked that day. Get over it.

Buffs sucked bigtime that day! Just another fine Gary Barnett legacy for hs lowered expectations and his general laziness and suckiness as a recruiter.
After Hawkins was hired, HS coachs from all over, particularly Colorado, asked Hawk were the Buff recruiters had been the past few years!
Gary got that LT contract with a “longevity only” incentive bonus, so the first tee beckoned more than the recruiting trail. Buffs are still playing catch-up from that issue, not the over-hyped non-scandal!

Aside from OU’s 77-0 shellacking of A&M, that was the single most lopsided football game I’ve ever seen. It was like watching Kimbo Slice fistfight a girl scout.
The Horns scored 70 points with just 5/8 of the game completed, and then completely stopped playing. That’s a 112-point pace. Think about that.
It’s a good thing Mack called off the dogs in the 3rd, or Colorado fags would be whining about the humiliating 112-3 loss to Texas. Count your blessings, Buff fans.

I enjoyed every minute of the 70-3 game, and wouldn’t have been a bit concerned if we’d scored more. Keeping your opponent from running up the score on you is your job, not mine.

That was not a blitz Klatt got hurt on. Kelson’s assignment was the RB, who stayed into block. When that happens, you rush the passer. Dumbass Puffs don’t know the difference.
And Kelson did not spear Klatt. Klatt turned his head at the last moment, causing him to get popped on the chin. Bad luck. It was obviously not intentional if you watch the replay.
