Just a note about Malcolm Williams – in his presser yesterday, Mack went out of his way to praise Malcolm, and told the press that he had graded out at 38 on special teams, which is the highest grade any Texas player has achieved under the coaches’ scoring system. Given the great coverage guys we have had in the past under Mack, that is H-U-G-E.

Hook ‘em!!!

I’m not sure that is a good point about our second half offense. We kind of folded up and went conservative, as is Mack’s usual M.O. in a blow-out. I will say this — Colt looked much, much worse in the second half, which might have been due to some defensive adjustments. We also played our second-team for most of the 4th quarter and saw alot more Kirkendoll and Chiles.

“I am not gay. But if I were to ever be gay, I would want to be gay with Will Muschamp.”

I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. Let’s pray it keeps the pressure on GD to continue to actually try “coaching” for a change.

bill w does make a good point about our second half O.

Scipio,

I will disagree with you on this one. Missouri’s DC just did not bother to copy the way OU defended us until the second half. Once he did, they basically shut our offense down even with Colt in there. The UT defense played great! Our offense still needs to be more unpredictable, put receivers in who can get open and catch the ball, and utilize some plays actually designed to effectively run the ball. Heck, GD could just copy Missouri’s run scheme and we would be much better.

We have some good receivers, but as you have mentioned before they do not see much game time. Just send Marquise deep once a quarter, and it will definitely loosen up the defense so that GD’s short passing scheme will work much better. I would hate to defend that young man on a deep route.

Gene Claude – please be sure the pre game homage to UT includes chicken blood. It’s gotta have chicken blood.

Now assume a kneeling position and stroke the ring.

No thanks. Not that there would be anything wrong with that…

When Brown chased after Colt when got hit out of bounds, I can’t decide if that was good, bad or ugly.

What would complete the Texas hegemony right now? I realize it isn’t enough to complete 75% of your passes, turn four star recruits away at the door and have the hottest women on earth. Do you need to realign the remaining Big 12 states so they actually orbit Texas? (Please make Kansas Pluto, sirs). Should there be a brief pre-game fealty-to-Texas period in which opposing fans, players and refs genuflect to the south? Perhaps the Texas justice system could spare time from its busy execution schedule to inject an offending referree as part of the pre-game ceremonies?

Nice work, GC.

Yes to all of the above. Now assume a kneeling position and stroke the ring.

“I am sure that the head linesman in this game was consistently spotting the ball back – placing it at the spot where the knee hit the ground, rather than where the ball was when the knee touched. This is exactly what the Head Linesman did in our game with A&M last year, costing the RBs for both teams a yard or more on pretty much every running play.”

He must have been related to the Head Linesmen at the UT-USC game. That guy screwed Texas out of about 50 yards that night.
