At least Big12 refs don’t hit players in the nutz with flags like the SEC does. Those guys are brutal.

Not the first time this year SEC officials have been brutal.

What the hell? That’s some pretty piss-poor coaching right there.

Ah, the dulcet tones of Ron Franklin. I am pleased.
Toadvine said:

ND bombs. LSU bombs. OU bombs. Pretty alright day so far.

I really hope KU shits the bed and quits because of the Mangino fiasco, rather than rallying around his fat @ss.

This will be my first complete game viewing on espn360.com. Is it reliable?
Scipio Tex said:

“Many ranchers keep their eyes on colts, but this is Colt McCoy.”

Magical.

Woody – I’m using it too. I’ve found it very reliable. Slight delay and that’s it.
Scipio Tex said:

Stadium looks packed and fired up.

Man. I hate this. I get waaaaaaay too nervous before each game.
Woody Bombay said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:02 pm

The Eyes! ABC don’t show this on its broadcast.
Woody Bombay said:

Aw.
Sasha is a Longhorn Dog said:

Re: ESPN360. I’ve used it while up on campus studying. They blackout anything that’s been scheduled to show in your region, but other than that, it’s fabulous!
Scipio Tex said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:03 pm

Sasha – that’s why I always try to work out before our games.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:05 pm

I’m with you Sasha. Every game we play from here on out is a potential trap game, other than the last one, wherever it is.
Woody Bombay said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:05 pm

Fuck and Yes. Let’s go!
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:06 pm

Nothing like the lady from Dr. Quinn Mediciine Woman pimping jewelery to fire you up!

Shelley Smith, arrrghhh, my eyes
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:07 pm

Whoa, that’s a couple of glowing noses right there on Darrel and Jamail. The scotch must flow.
Cricketslayer said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:07 pm

I watched Shelly Smith practice her interview with Mangino on a Texas state trooper before the game. That was damn funny.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:07 pm

Mangino now trying to be the jolly fat guy with the jolly fat gal sideline reporter in the pregame.
Scipio Tex said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:08 pm

A red nose means your jolly.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:08 pm

Mangino looks hungry.
Scipio Tex said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:08 pm

Cricket –

That’s the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time. You have to tell more.
Woody Bombay said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:08 pm

What would happen if Mangino crashed into Shelly at full speed?
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:09 pm

Woody – I believe the large hadron collider is currently trying to answer that very question.
Scipio Tex said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:09 pm

Mangino hands Shelly his resume.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:09 pm

So close to a pick-6 on the first play.
Art Vandelay said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:09 pm

Shelley Smith has been feeding at the same trough as Mangino.
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:10 pm

“What would happen if Mangino crashed into Shelly at full speed?”

Can fat chain react and start spitting out radioactive butter?
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:11 pm

To describe that spot as “generous” is like describing Mangino as “chunky”.
Woody Bombay said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:11 pm

“Toben Opurum” sounds like a powerful strain of weed.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:12 pm

Or a Jewish holiday.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:12 pm

The D is looking oddly non-Muschampish at the moment.
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:12 pm

Refs not calling the holds OR tackles by the KU o-line, nice.
Art Vandelay said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:12 pm

Forward progress is defined as what again? Desmond Briscoe was a great governor.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:12 pm

This is our standard first drive.

LBs need to pick it up.
Woody Bombay said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:13 pm

And don’t get me started on “Pound Opurum.”
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:13 pm

Ressing weighs 200lbs, allegedly, and should not ever be able to run the option on us.
Scipio Tex said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:13 pm

We’re not lining up correctly.
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:14 pm

I think Sergio broke him.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:14 pm

Is Opurum playing oppossum?
Cricketslayer said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:14 pm

ABC is giving us Oregon-Arizona regionally here in DC, so I dialed up the coordinates on one of our station’s satellites in order to watch tonight’s Texas game. ABC is having a “run through” of their pre-game elements and they toss down to Shelly Smith practicing her live hit.

She suddenly turns and says, “Mark Mangino joins me now,” only to have the camera zoom out where a Texas state trooper is standing next to her. The guy is playing along and answering her questions with responses like:

“Well, things are tough around here. But uh… um… you know, one game at a time.”

“l like our quarterback. He’s got a good arm and nice feet.”

Highly entertaining, Scipio.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:15 pm

Scip –

We always come out in this soft base defense on the first drive. I think Muschamp likes to see the adjustments the other team has already made before he shows any wrinkles.
Woody Bombay said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:15 pm

Heh. Coachspeak is pretty easy to simulate.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:17 pm

Hope that kids OK.
Scipio Tex said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:17 pm

Thanks for that, Cricket. Made my day.
Sasha is a Longhorn Dog said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:18 pm

Argh!
bigdukesix said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:19 pm

If only the trooper was berating Shelly in true Mangino fashion.
Scipio Tex said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:20 pm

ghost –

No, not so much vanilla. I’m saying we didn’t line up correctly. Our LBs didn’t understand the strength of the 3rd down formation Kansas ran out of for the easy first.

We’re also undermanned weakside when they ran the Sharp option. Muckelroy should have been three steps closer to the sideline.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:20 pm

That was meaningfully more Muschamp-ish.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:20 pm

Mangino: “Well Shelly, I’m the best thing in KU football history, so whatever these little podunk pissants leak to the media you have to remember that they were nothing before I found them and that’s what they’ll be if they run me off. Wanna get nachos?”
bigdukesix said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:21 pm

Were those two blondes Shipley’s sisters? Looked pretty nice.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:21 pm

Now that was highly O-linish by us. Tendencies re-establishing themselves early.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:22 pm

First play is our patented pick 6 throw.
Woody Bombay said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:22 pm

Got the Saga of the McCoys and Shipleys out of the way early. Way to go, Ron.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:22 pm

Chiles making his ineffectiveness felt early.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:22 pm

GD — Chiles is starting over Malcolm Williams!!@@#
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:23 pm

Another awful 1st possession.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:23 pm

Wow. 2 throws to Chiles on our first 3 plays. That makes no sense at all.
Sasha is a Longhorn Dog said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:24 pm

Argh! Again!
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:24 pm

Good to see Chiles ignoring Colt as they head off the sideline. That plus the early punt plus giving up the big return = a great start to senior day!

C’mon, fellas. Settle.
Cricketslayer said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:24 pm

You’re quite welcome, Scip. OH, one more thing.

I don’t know if you heard the national anthem, but it appeared to be sung by an opera singer. While beautiful, it was also particularly long and drawn out. After it’s over, Ron Franklin sarcastically quips off-camera:

“My God, I nearly experienced my first overtime during the national anthem.”

Great stuff.
bigdukesix said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:24 pm

GD — Chiles is starting over Malcolm Williams!!@@#

I’m really looking forward to 2010 when Chiles and Kirkendoll are our top two WRs.
BrickHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:24 pm

Well, that’s just great. 3-and-out. Allsome.
LonghornedFrog said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:24 pm

Chiles still doesn’t get it
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:25 pm

Hmm — let’s count Goodwin and Williams touches.
BrickHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:26 pm

Chykie blitzing = thing of beauty.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:26 pm

We’ve found a use for Chykie Brown!
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:26 pm

Yeah, you know what? Muschamp doesn’t give a rat’s ass if you played high school ball in Austin, candyass.
HelmetBoy said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:27 pm

Well that blocked punt kind of sucked.
Cricketslayer said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:29 pm

It’s as if Chiles and Kirkendoll compete each week to be my least favorite player.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:29 pm

Will we pull our head out of our asses? I say no. Umm — stretch play for Cody Johnson on first down. 5 yard standstill out to Kirkendoll on second down. Bubble screen for zero yards on 3rd down. My predictions.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:30 pm

Chiles touches = not much.

Goodwin touch = 34 yards.

HINT!
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:30 pm

Damn, it’s beautiful when it works.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:30 pm

One touch for Goodwin equals 34 yards.
BrickHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:30 pm

Goodwin!!! That’s a fucking receiver. Made lemonade out of our complete lemon of a WR screen play design.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:30 pm

And a Mal Williams sighting!
HelmetBoy said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:31 pm

Another 3rd and long. That’s just how we roll.
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:31 pm

Oh shit he held on. WOOOT!
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:31 pm

Okay, great friggin’ throw to Kirk! I’m a happy ball-watching fan right now.
Sasha is a Longhorn Dog said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:32 pm

SEE what HAPPENS when you THROW DEEP!
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:32 pm

TD. Unfortunately by Kirkendoll.
bigdukesix said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:32 pm

Wow, Kirkendoll.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:32 pm

Good things happen when you get Goodwin and Malc touches.

My God was he wide-open. What kind of blown coverage was that Scip?
Cricketslayer said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:32 pm

I guess Chiles will be my least favorite player this week, then. I’ll take it, though.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:33 pm

I say unfortunately only bc it will buy him more playing time.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:33 pm

Hey, I’m just happy with all the 4yd runs.
Woody Bombay said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:34 pm

Amen, Sasha. I can’t frickin’ wait for the day Greg Davis decides it might be worth seeing if sending Goodwin long is a good idea.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:35 pm

Hell of a throw by Reesing.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:35 pm

If Reesing gets minimal protection he’s as clutch as Colt.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:36 pm

KU is holding on every play.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:36 pm

Earl!!!
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:36 pm

Ouch. Earl Thomas blows up a block and a stiff arm.
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:37 pm

Is Vaccaro gonna hafta choke a bitch?
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:38 pm

More bad news for KU. Lubbock Smith can expect a finger in the chest and a ghetto quote from Mangina. If he doesn’t get up.
Cricketslayer said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:38 pm

I’ll bet Mangino is acting like he gives a shit about the injured player in order to help save his job when he probably sucker punched that guy before the game.
HelmetBoy said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:38 pm

Mangino: “Get your punk-ass up or I’ll send you back to the ghetto to get shot w/your homies”
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:38 pm

When Mangino stood over his injured player and looked down, I have to confess that I wondered if Mangino could see him. (“Hey, wasn’t there a kid on the ground here a minute ago?”)
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:38 pm

Dude better get off the ground before Mangino eats him.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:39 pm

Lubbock Smith. Back to the ghetto.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:39 pm

Mangino fat jokes will never not be funny.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:39 pm

Shipley’s silly.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:40 pm

ghost – yes, they are a guilty pleasure.
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:40 pm

How fast would Shipley be if he hadn’t destroyed both knees?
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:40 pm

Mangino eats fat jokes for breakfast.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:40 pm

3 deep throws already.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:41 pm

Another 4 yard run. Just like on the game plan.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:41 pm

Colt does not throw the best deep ball.
Woody Bombay said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:41 pm

Man! Kirkendol is money. Wow!
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:42 pm

Ouch.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:42 pm

Those are two yard runs. Those are acceptable. 4 yard runs are “EXPLOSIVE” plays.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:42 pm

Clutch catch for Shipley. Again. However, I can’t help but think that real competition will be able to shut the McCoy Shipley connection down. We like need a run game.

UH OH! Not the Tuck Rule?
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:42 pm

Sonnuvaa….
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:43 pm

Bad decision by Colt.
bigdukesix said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:43 pm

Colt’s Downs Syndrome was acting up on that play.
Sasha is a Longhorn Dog said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:43 pm

Come, Colt! Don’t do this crap!
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:43 pm

Sigh
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:43 pm

Given our defense’s success after offensive turnovers, I am strangely not worried.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:44 pm

That reminded me of that bizarre attempt Colt made to shovel the ball off as he was going down vs. OU. Very bad decision making.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:44 pm

Did you hear that quote about Davis admitting he didn’t know how to use his WR personnel this year? Christ.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:45 pm

BEHorn….what I AM worried about is TCU jumping us. Or Mangina eating one of our LBs.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:45 pm

Especially now that Muschamp has a TO, courtesy of Kansas, to plot the consumption of Reesing’s soul.

On the break a fat joke: Remember the movie “seven pounds”? In Mangino’s case, it’s “174 Pounds”
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:45 pm

Colt has not taken very good care of the ball this year. 20 TDs and 9 INTs. And anyone who has watched knows he could easily have 15 INTs but has benefitted from some serious drops.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:46 pm

Jesus H. Christ. Great call? There was a HUGE hole for the RB if he had handed off.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:46 pm

Mike – I wouldn’t worry about it. TCU will suffer the slings and arrows of the computers for playing Wyoming (whereas we’ve already suffered that), and the voters aren’t apt to drop us if — excuse me, “when” — we win.
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:46 pm

Sharp just got the sh*t hit out of him.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:47 pm

As did Reesing.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:48 pm

Dude, Mangina’s soul weighs less than the average person’s. Not sure what that does for your joke. Perhaps when Mangina dies the Earth will have to get together and decide where he’s buried. It might affect, like, the shifting magnetic field.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:48 pm

Three and out, plus turnover, plus long return. And we haven’t given up a point. I love this defense, but our offense has got to improve.
Cricketslayer said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:48 pm

This is the only game left that has the potential of being a “letdown” game. We’ll be ready for A&M and every game after that.

So let’s put this thing away.
Cricketslayer said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:48 pm

Also, Mangino bleeds gravy.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:49 pm

BEHorn,

I’m more worried about how “pretty” our win is. Oh, and the fact that we can’t run the fucking football.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:49 pm

Hell, I always worry about playing in College Station. Remember the 5 second late hit on Colt that made him retarded for the next year and a half?
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:50 pm

Mike — “Seven Pounds” was about the weight of one’s innards. “21 Grams” referred to the weight of the soul; which, in Mangino’s case, is only about 1.3 Grams (slightly less than the Grinch’s).

Don’t worry too much about pretty at this point. Win, and in.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:51 pm

OMG. The girls on KU’s cheerleading squad are ugly. Perhaps Sahsa could weigh in on their guys.
Txcastle said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:51 pm

can’t stop wondering which restaurant’s menu Mangino is carrying on the sideline.
HelmetBoy said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:51 pm

Ballsack.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:51 pm

Chykie gives and Chykie takes away.
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:51 pm

Dammit.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:53 pm

Not to distract from this thrilling game, but how much DOES Mangina weigh? Do we have scales capable of registering it? Would he have to stand on a flat bed semi trailer and pass through one of those weigh stations? Or do astrophysicists just have to estimate based on red shift and shit?
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:53 pm

The holds on that play were ridiculous.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:53 pm

Mangino wants a review because he’s not done calling Meier a dumb white fuck.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:54 pm

Mike – gotta be 4 bills.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:55 pm

He threatens Meier with anal rape from the linebacker he just threatened with AIDS. Mangino is a next-level kind of sh#t talker.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:55 pm

Understatement of the night (and the last comment I’ll make on the subject): Mangina is one fat motherfucker.

Oh, and for those of you who don’t have ABC, KU just kicked a FG. 7-3 Texas.
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:55 pm

He’s not tall, either. That mass is scrunched in a vessel way south of 6′.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:55 pm

Okay, time to settle down. An actual drive leading to points would be tasty.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:56 pm

TOR, I can’t resist:

If he was any shorter, he’d be a singularity.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:57 pm

And I have not remotely begun to dog Mangino for being a tub o’ vicious lard. Did you know his name is a contraction of “Mange” and “gino”, which means “I eat Italian boys for lunch”?
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:57 pm

He really does weigh near 400 lbs. Has to. Bet he has a special plane seat and everything.
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:57 pm

The holding is out of control. It’s on par with tech tackling Orakpo every down last year.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:57 pm

Meanwhile, I could kinda use no more fumbles.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:58 pm

Shipley needs to not be returning kicks in a relatively unimportant game. Particularly since he keeps screwing them up.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:58 pm

Our O-line is getting abused at the moment. Stood up, drove back, collapsed.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:58 pm

I didn’t pay special attn. to the ou/TT game today but didn’t see any more blatant than usual face rape.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:58 pm

Colt is in Gilbert Grape mode.
TOR said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:58 pm

“If he was any shorter, he’d be a singularity.”

I don’t know if he’d go singularity, but a DU tank round might be a couple of kilotons.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:59 pm

Malcolm Williams with 2 touches! Goodwin with 2!
Art Vandelay said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:59 pm

$20 Laptad’s tonight at Sugar’s.
Cricketslayer said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:59 pm

Our o-line looks significantly better in pass protection.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 6:59 pm

Yet again the run game is a fucking abortion. Assuming it ever got pregnant.

I love that Colt is trying to get everyone fired up. Maybe he senses that our offense was going through the motions. Okay, that helped.

Studly play. ALMOST makes me forget how gawd awful our ground game is. I might need to shut up and drink more soon.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:01 pm

I think Nostradamus said something about the coming of Armageddon when a human’s girth exceeds his height by more than a factor of 3. We’re in trouble …

Fortunately, Nostie also wrote, “Those who live in rooms together and whose fathers are cordial may produce scoring beyond all expected measure.” Or something like that.
Cricketslayer said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:01 pm

Don’t worry, TOR. We’ll get Chase and Jaxson to make sure we get more roommates references.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:01 pm

Chiles – Kirk! THAT’S how you block a route.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:01 pm

With that in mind, I’m going to return with actual statistics on the ROOMMATE thing.
Woody Bombay said:

Do Chase and Jaxson’s dads know each other, too?
Sasha is a Longhorn Dog said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:02 pm

Yes! Love how McCoy jumped right back up after getting hit! Then threw the TD! Wheee! I feel slightly better. Still not calm enough to eat, though.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:02 pm

Malc is showing his worth. 2 catches, great block. The series where Goodwin and Malc get touches things happen.

But yes, our linemen are playing like sissy-bitches again.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:03 pm

“Fortunately, Nostie also wrote, “Those who live in rooms together and whose fathers are cordial may produce scoring beyond all expected measure.” Or something like that.”

You missed a really long and important part of that quote and it involves the complete fucking lack of a run game. But at this point I guess I’m just over it.

Mike – the 2-yard passes are our running game. With our receivers and backs, I don’t entirely mind that.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:04 pm

I’ve counted about 3 roommate references. The count resumes on Texas’ next possession. Or maybe before…..waiting for the count to go up before kickoff….waiting…..
Scipio Tex said:

Colt needs to be hit to play his best. It gets his competitiveness going.

We need to run him early in the bowl game.

Watching Texas football this year is an interesting experience. I equate it to standing up from the poker table when I folded early only to come back and find out that everyone went all in and I’m left standing in the top two.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:11 pm

They’re now facemasking our D-linemen as they run by.

Uncalled, of course. Apparently Mangino has taken a page from Mike Tyson and threatened to eat the ref’s kids if they call it.

Scipio Tex said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:18 pm

Big stop by the D. Despite the thread comments, I like how we’re playing. KU’s receiving corps is big time. The plays will start coming. We’re getting our hits in.

On offense, Davis has been calling real big-boy routes. I dig it.

Special teams are pissing me off, obviously.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:19 pm

Mangino’s an order of magnitude bigger a man than us both combined.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:19 pm

The thing that pisses me off about this is that we have another game in five days. So I’d rather jump all over them and rest starters. And now we won’t be able to do it because we’ve been so flat offensively. Which means that we needlessly risk injury — and the cover — all because we decided to sleep-walk through a half.

But, whatever. We’re going to comfortably win.
AZHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:20 pm

I think some of Bevo’s ketamine got into the gatorade supply
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:21 pm

Scip — there is a definite lack of intensity. Which is not that surprising, but is a little disappointing. And we’ve already quit trying to run it.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:21 pm

QUIT TRYING to run it? LOL.

I could have told you that when we played UTEP.
t1climb1 said:

Ghost,

When did we ever start trying to run in this game?
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:22 pm

God forbid we actually let Malcolm Williams try to catch the ball while in Motion. Someone must have hidden Greg Davis’ Big Chief with his other 2 plays on it.
Sasha is a Longhorn Dog said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:22 pm

Finally! A good coverage.
Scipio Tex said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:22 pm

We’re not flat offensively. Should we not have long scoring pass plays?

Yes, we can’t run it. Welcome to 2009.
AZHorn said:

About fucking time, must be starting to climb out of the k-hole.
BEHorn said:

Whenever something good happens on coverage, Vaccaro is in the middle of it.

Gideon was heady enough NOT to use his heady.

That’s what I’m talking about Gideon!
Toadvine said:

Fair enough. We’ve never even started. What have we done so far — two to CJ, two to Tre, one called draw to Colt?
AZHorn said:

Yep, the dope’s wearing off, we’re starting to hit now.
Cricketslayer said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:23 pm

Agreed, Scip. Though the graphic showing us with ONE rushing yard is tough to take.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:23 pm

Earl Thomas must have mistakenly thought there for a second that his jersey number was 21, as opposed to 12.

Let’s all keep one very important thing in mind. We can pass the ball and score. Against KU.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:24 pm

Those early sacks on Reesing seem to have quickened, and not to his benefit. Throws are getting less accurate.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:24 pm

Sorry, “quickened his timing”.

All I want for Christmas is a holding call on KU.

THAT was a nicely designed play to Newton.
Toadvine said:

Tre looks good catching the ball.
java said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:25 pm

Is a horsecollar supposed to be penalized in college? KU tried to horsecollar Goodwin, McCoy, and others.

Newton gets yards. He needs to play more.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:25 pm

He was out of bounds for about 20 yards of that catch/run.
Cricketslayer said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:25 pm

If we’re starting our receivers (outside of Shipley) based on blocking, then Malcolm Williams earned a spot tonight. What a block on that Newton catch.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:26 pm

I do love these down-field throws.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:26 pm

Was that 7 yard gain our biggest on the ground all year? Minus broken plays where Colt runs for 20, of course.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:27 pm

Goodwin and Williams are both great down field blockers. Much better than Kirkendoll and Chiles.
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:27 pm

Greg Smith blocking with his hands out looks frighteningly similar to a traffic cop signaling an all-stop.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:27 pm

Mike – how soon we forget. Newton had a much bigger one in just the last game. You must have missed it because FOX WAS SHOWING A FUCKING REPLAY.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:28 pm

OK. OK. I’ll STFU. Our run game sucks and Mangino is a planet. I will now try to submit value add comments…and probably fail miserably.
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:28 pm

Why did colt field the need to do a jump pass to Shipley there when he had time to plant and throw?
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:28 pm

Sigh. I’m happy for the 1st down, but I’m sad for the positive Chiles reinforcement.
Cricketslayer said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:28 pm

I don’t care how many of those that Chiles is lucky to turn into something. He has been, and is, a worthless part of our offense stealing snaps from better players. I don’t get it.
AZHorn said:

Okay, props to GD and the offense. There have been corpse dissections in Harvard med school that were less clinical than that scoring drive.
Toadvine said:

You nailed it Scip. And we can throw it downfield whenever we want because no one thinks we will.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:31 pm

Mike – for Mangino, 60 cheeseburgers is known as a “light snack.”

God, I’m cracking myself up …
AZHorn said:

Our run game anywhere outside the 5 yard line is just practice for running it at the 5 yard line.

Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:33 pm

“And we can throw it downfield whenever we want because no one thinks we will.”

I sure hope that was sarcasm. Because of our commitment to the run game of course, right?

Or were you just referring to the fact that even our passing game consists of lateral throws to WRs who couldn’t juke Sam Bradford in her wheelchair?
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:33 pm

ESPN hates to do Kansas games, because it’s hard to get the lighting right. The photons can’t escape Mangino’s gravity well.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:34 pm

Reason #1,328 why I love Mack: We still have all our TOs, and can use ‘em just as we need them.

I don’t know if Mack’s made strides as an in-game coach or if it’s just these particular circumstances, but I have zero fear of Mack coaching against anyone in the country.
Mike said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:34 pm

Mockery of comments on GD’s play calling hereafter will only be met with mordant chuckling.
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:35 pm

Agreed. I consider 24-6 to be an extremely successful half. Hard to find anything to argue with, we’re in line to cover the spread, it’s a dominant but respectful score that fans and pollsters will see on their half time highlights and status bars, and we’ve had big plays for the highlight reels. Everyone wins. Except kansas, because their coach chained froze Han Solo in carbonite.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:35 pm

No, I’m completely serious. We throw tons of 5 yard routes, a couple of 7 yard routes, and plenty of bubble screens. But we do not throw downfield much. GD has called a good first half, and Goodwin and Malc have seen the ball. No complaints about that.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:35 pm

I can’t BELIEVE they ran that fucker to the short side. Clock stops with no TO? This is suh-weeeeet.
Woody Bombay said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:36 pm

We’ve thrown the ball downfield this game. The names Williams and Goodwin have been called. And Kirkendoll apparently feels like concentrating tonight and is having a good game. Shipley has been Shipley. Hell, Chiles hasn’t even fucked up yet.

Me likey.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:36 pm

52 seconds, one time out, and the Big XII south on the line.

SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:39 pm

Chiles actually doesn’t take snaps away from Buckner. That’s Greg Smith who takes snaps away from Buckner. Buckner is the inside guy, never on the outside. Shipley and Smith take his snaps these days. Clearly only one of those is upsetting.

Sydney, please don’t take away a complaint. Since Chiles makes no sense, complaints don’t need to make any sense either. Right? Buckner doesn’t really fit the tight end prototype, does he?

On another note, it looks like Nebraska will win the North. I think I’m glad. I always dread KSU, not because they are good, but because they seem to take cheap shots. That, I prefer to avoid.

Shelly Smith is proof that High Definition television can be a mixed blessing. It’s awesome when they show the quarterback’s view of Earl Thomas. Less so when it shows the make-up cracking on Shelly Smith’s crow’s feet while she jams a microphone in front of Mangino’s sausage stained jowls.
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 7:54 pm

Java,

Just clarifying, sorry. Buckner should slide right into the Shipley inside position next year, and i think everyone here is just fine with that. I’m just interested in channeling soul-withering hatred accordingly: Greg Smith for Buckner, and Chiles for, well, anyone, including Ben Alexander set out wide.

No offense intended.

There are lots of technique issues with our line. But we also seem to blow a lot of assignments. And we do not adjust to shifts or blitzes at all. And everything is magnified without a true blocking back. It all adds up to disgrace, as far as I’m concerned.

I’ll say this — it’s in Colt’s head and he’s thinking about the blitz more than he’s thinking aboutn throwing the ball. He’s always been prone to that, and he’s got his head out of the game right now.

SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 8:42 pm

Im with you BE, but I think at this point this point it’s safe to assume the hot mess of our running game comes from a number of factors. Mack’s insistence and perpetual trump card playing when it comes to RB recruiting. Greg Davis’ choice of a mediocre rush scheme mixed again with poor personnel choices mixed further with terrible playcalling, and McWhorter throwing up his hands in the air after years of frustration.

Sure, the Studdard line was great, be Studdard and Lyle were like VY types of the OL: self starters who took it upon themsevles to kick ass and take names, like Earl Thomas and Muck on the D. Guys like that don’t come along all that often. We shouldn’t rely on the special players to have to be successful.

BEHorn said:

Ghost – not a drop, good play by the DB. Colt tends to throw a little behind the receiver on some of those post routes, which I attribute to his not doing it enough to really have the lead locked in. (We saw the effect of that a few times in the last couple of games.)

November 21st, 2009 at 8:51 pm

Scip – agree, Williams is the 2nd-most important guy in the secondary after Earl. And in some ways more important, as a true lock-down corner. Want him on Riley Cooper should that (Texas-FL) be a game.
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 8:53 pm

I grudgingly admit that Kirkendoll is having a hell of a game. What a great catch, including the field awareness to drop the ball over the line.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 8:53 pm

There’s my 4X for Texas. Two more stops from the D and we’ll have the 1Y on the other side of the ledger.

Someone promise Shelly Smith a steak bone to get off her ample posterior and start asking questions about Aaron Williams injury. Earn your viddles, Shelly.
AZHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 8:54 pm

Yeah, nice catch Kirkendoll. Now quit acting like you’re a fucking superstar and learn how to block.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 8:54 pm

And Cal beats Stanford, so we can stop hearing about the Fucking Tree for a while.

If AZ can just throw us a bone on the Ducks, we’ll be solid.
Sasha is a Longhorn Dog said:

November 21st, 2009 at 8:54 pm

If, theoretically, Williams is out in the NC game, do you think the coaches put in Scott?
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 8:54 pm

O-line looks alot better after a successful screen pass.
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 8:56 pm

Put in Scott and what, move Earl to CB? They don’t play the same position.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 8:56 pm

Dunno. Vaccaro probably gets a whole lot more PT.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 8:56 pm

Well, shit, that’s fitting. Our kickoff coverage has achieved a new nadir.
BrickHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 8:56 pm

What a bunch of pussy tackle attempts. Unreal.

And Chykie plays ever god damn down.

This is inexplicable.
Scipio Tex said:

Giles is tasked with kickoff coverage. He’s as much a fuck-up there as he is knowing who Reggie Wilson was.
SydneyCarton said:

I’m still freaking out about Aaron Williams. That took the jam out of my jelly roll.
Sasha is a Longhorn Dog said:

Fuck you Sydney. It was an honest question. You don’t think Muschamp will work his best players on the field? Lay off the sauce and stop being an ass.
blackscholes said:

November 21st, 2009 at 8:59 pm

Why do they fucking bounce into a guy instead of fucking wrapping and tackling? WTF?
Scipio Tex said:

November 21st, 2009 at 8:59 pm

Vaccaro is a safety too. Williams would be replaced by Beasley.
spit and tears said:

November 21st, 2009 at 8:59 pm

Piss poor sloppy play. I guess we thought KU would just fold. We look pretty damn lackadaisical.
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 8:59 pm

Scip, most people give Giles a lot of credit as a coach, although it’s quite easy to see how he could be made to look good by the talent we’ve had. You have a different take on his competency as a position coach?
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:01 pm

Scipio –

Cu Brown, Ch Brown, D Beasley, and ?? Earl goes to Nickel and Vaccaro plays against a spread.
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:01 pm

Sasha, it was an honest answer. Sorry if it was interpreted otherwise. But now, Scott would never be a 1 to 1 replacement for Williams. Williams is literally irreplaceable no matter what, but even moreso by guys that can’t play Corner. I did not mean the comment to be taken umbrage with, I was simply continuing the dialogue.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:03 pm

Colt should crack 400 yards passing again. Good. I wish it was 500.
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:04 pm

Goddamnit Davis. Just fucking have Colt throw it in the fucking endzone, get him a 5th TD, get him over 400 yards, and put in Gilbert.

You know, KU is a REAL team. It’s not Florida International.

He got that corner quicker than I thought he could. He has good pad speed.

Yeah, that was tidy by Newton.
Scipio Tex said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:08 pm

Coaching DEs is comparable to coaching RBs.

Dime a dozen. If you don’t bring value-added in recruiting or you’re not a Mike Tolleson level teacher and position coach, then you’re JAG.
Cricketslayer said:

Is it wrong that all I can think about is Williams being injured? FUCK.
t1climb1 said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:08 pm

Agreed Sydney. What was the point of leaving Colt in if that’s the call? Gilbert can hand the ball to Newton as well as Colt. I figured we were trying to get Colt bigger numbers. Otherwise, why play him in the 4th up 24 with another game in 5 days?
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:10 pm

Well, if we don’t give up the kick-off TD then Gilbert probably plays that series.

November 21st, 2009 at 9:11 pm

Wow. Earl.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:12 pm

Does anyone know whether we offered Andrew Luck? He was a stud at Stratford in high school here in Houston. I watched him a couple of times and was really impressed.
spit and tears said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:12 pm

Earl Thomas can return punts?? damn.
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:13 pm

I don’t think anyone is saying “So What” BE. We just want the play calls to go with them to actively add up to some more milestones from a statistical perspective. 400 yards and 5 TDs is a noticable step up from 390 yards and 4 TD, as stupid as it may seem in regards to heisman pundits.
Woody Bombay said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:13 pm

Mangino would steal the show as Johnny Caspar in an all-obese version of “Miller’s Crossing.”
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:13 pm

Ghost – my recollection of the Luck recruitment is that he was Stanford all the way, and there wasn’t much hope/interest otherwise.
t1climb1 said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:13 pm

BE,

My only issue is this year we don’t have 10 days off until A&M we play them in 5 days. Also, we have a lot on the line, Colt is out MVP, and he has taken a lot of shots tonight including that last drive.
blackscholes said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:14 pm

Anything on Williams?

Colt is going to leave with the NCAA completion record AND the win record? How could he be anything but the hands-down favorite for the Heisman?

Is our SID really doing his job this year? Fuck humility and the assumptions that the idiot voters know all this.
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:14 pm

Ghost-

We flirted with Luck a little bit, but if memory serves, we never went after him hard and he seemed to settle in on Stanford fairly early in the process.
BEHorn said:

Colt can handle it.

Meanwhile, Zona up 31-24 over ducks with about 4 minutes left.

Colt is #1 in starting QB wins all time, in the history of college football.

I know I’ve mentiond that above, but still:

Colt McCoy.

#1.

Congratulations to that young man and to all the teammates, especially Jordan Shipley, who contributed to the success Colt’s enjoyed. And a tip of the hat to the staff, who turned the skinny kid from Tuscola into the winningest college QB of all time.

ALL FUCKING TIME. Blow me, Tebowists and Ingramites. Colt for Heisman.

It’s been a pretty remarkable ride with Colt. He really came from nowhere and took over, following in the footsteps of the greatest college football player of all-time, at a huge program with tons of pressure and scrutiny. And his girlfriend is smoking hot even if he seriously won’t bang here (which I hear is the case — allegedly Shipley bags strange like Chrissy Simms did, but Colt is sincerely a Christian dude). So all credit to him.

You guys need to lay off the sideline reporter. I imagine most of you would score a 3 on the attractiveness scale, so you’ve got no room to talk. Furthermore, it’s about how she does her job, not how she looks doing it. She’s not Erin Andrews, but she’s certainly not the worst looking woman out there. Geez.

I always liked VY — he was a Houston guy who I’d followed since high school. You got it all wrong — I’m a long horn through and through. But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to like everyone other longhorn merely by virtue of our having attended the same school. That’s moronic. I just don’t like Simms. Never did, never have, never will.
t1climb1 said:

SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 9:43 pm

Fortunately Sasha, I’m handsome and arrogant and can afford to cast stones on the peasantry.

Ghost-

If memory serves, Rome got his fucking face beat in by Everett for his stupid comment. It’s not like anyone is going to transcend the Internet Tough Guy and fight you over your statement, because that’s ludicrous, but the point is that your statements towards Simms are obviously reviled by a majority of the people on this thread and considered contemptible. You statement says it all…you like Colt, so you would never call him Cart. But that’s the fucking point, isn’t it, if you did hate the guy because he’d poached your girlfriend or your mother or whatever the story is, you’d have no problems putting on your Aggy cloak and treating him with contempt.

Simms may not have ever been quite the QB we’d hope. He couldn’t look off his receivers, and he had some bad meltdowns in his time that cost us some big opportunities. But he’s still one of us. He chose to come here. And if you want to tell me the guy doesn’t have heart, well, show me another play who had their spleen eviscerated, took a knee, and then continued to play in an NFL game before having to be taken to a hospital and nearly dying after the fact, only to fight back to make an NFL roster and even start this weekend. You have an intriguing notion of a guy who doesn’t play with heart.

AZ just lost a fumble but then dug it out of the pile to stay alive in OT. then on 3rd and long, Oregon committed a facemasking penalty to give AZ new downs.

So, I just saw highlights from the Ohio State game. For some reason, their pants made it look like they weren’t wearing any. Maybe it was the lighting, because I think they were supposed to be gray.

Normally having someone else of note vouch for a woman’s looks would be perfectly fine, but it is fair to point out that ChrisApplewhite has an unhealthy and borderline disturbing relationship with his rat terrier. His judgement could be questioned.

Dare I say it? TTIWWOP.

5’10″ 140 reminds me of my youthful jones for volleyball players.

And the occasional javelin chick.

5’10 is a great height. All of my kids would dunk at age 10. At worse, I could unleash an army of Shawn Bradley-esque progeny. Without the magic underwear, of course.

Now if Aaron Williams is not out for the season, we should be ok. It didn’t look good, though. Did anyone see what happened?

I pay attention Sasha. You’re a welcome break from the cyber sword fighting that occasionally occurs here. And please continue your “Yes!!Yes!!Yes!!” touchdown celebrations. Getting aroused by a woman after a touchdown makes the arousal already occurring seem less gay.

I couldn’t tell and watched it a couple of times. it didn’t look like it happened during the run-back, because I don’t think he was part of the pile-up.

As much as I’d love to post my picture on a blog for a bunch of strangers to look at, I, unfortunately, do not know how to post pictures on this website.

You’re welcome to try and find me on Facebook. I’d be highly impressed if you could do that based on the limited info you know just from this site.
BEHorn said:

The one thing about being on the wrong side of 40 is that your desire to be a cyber-stalker is about the same as your desire to take a shitload of ecstasy in Tijuana while hanging out in a donkey-show bar.

Well, now, wait … when I put it that way …
blackscholes said:

Sasha – stop. I don’t think this will end well, and we don’t want you to leave.

ghost – if you’re still here, I’ll make this my last on the subject. I’ve read many of your comments over the past few weeks, and I appreciate your takes. I can’t abide the Chrissy thing however. I’ll let it drop.

Sasha is a Longhorn Dog said:

November 21st, 2009 at 10:11 pm

bs – all in good fun. I’m certainly not trying to stir anything up.

I think, much like reasonably doubt, the words define themselves.

I’d have made a smart-ass comment, but out of respect for blackschole’s request, I will refrain.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 10:13 pm

bs – bygones. I’ll add Simms to politics, religion, and seduction as topics I choose not to discuss on the board. Apologies to any that I offended, however, as I sincerely enjoy BC. Especially because my wife doesn’t like football and it’s as close as I get to watching a game with my friends from school these days.
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 10:13 pm

And I was about to crack my stalking knuckles, as I have little else to do this evening. And by about, I mean that I have 4 potential candidates, but it’s difficult to rule out any one without additional information.

I’m sure you’re either too old or too young for me to really want you as a stalker. I’m 27, and it seems like the readership of this blog is either in the 40s or young 20s.
Toadvine said:

November 21st, 2009 at 10:17 pm

As one who has seen the actual Donkey Show in more than one mental state, I’ll attest to the fact that its allure cannot be understated.

Stupid ESPN college football final! Colt McCoy become the all time winningest QB, and they barely even highlight the Texas game. Losers. Too dang concerned about dang Notre Dame.
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 10:22 pm

Those of us that are about to turn 30 are hurt by your inference, young lady.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 10:24 pm

Ghost – when you and your friends wanted to make it with that cow … I want to hang out with you.

Sasha – yes, that ESPN thing pissed me off too. I don’t usually like to be a conspiracy theorist, but giving more airtime to St. Timmy’s TD run than to Colt setting an all-time record in collegiate football history is simply ridiculous. I know ESPN has a huge contract with the SEC, but still …
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 10:25 pm

And I rock as a stalker. Just ask henry james.
Sasha is a Longhorn Dog said:

November 21st, 2009 at 10:26 pm

I just call it like I see it.

But, if you’re only 30, then I have no problem with you being a stalker, so long as you don’t happen to be the only other person who knows what I look like. I don’t know if he even reads this site anymore, but there is always the possibility…

I’m trying to figure out the precise moment this thread completely derailed. It’s not easy actually but it certainly did a long time ago.
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 10:28 pm

BEHorn, I think we have a mutual friend in Chad Keller. Do your stalking skills rival the strength of his hatred of Kate Beckinsale?
Joe Pfäffikon said:

BEHorn said:

Sydney – we do indeed. And I love KB, because (unlike Chad) I only have met her socially.
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 10:32 pm

That’s funny. He has insisted to me on multiple occasions that she’s uglier than Susan Boyle due to her personality. He also swears that Jennifer Garner bends genders, which is somewhat more believable. The man is confusing.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 10:36 pm

I can’t speak to the Garner thing, having only seen her in the Palisades. But she is somewhat dude-ish, at least from a distance.

One’s on-set personality isn’t necessarily the same as their in-party personality. In fact, they’re often pretty different. Once Hot Actress makes your life miserable in a business situation, it’s hard to look at her the same way again.
Sasha is a Longhorn Dog said:

November 21st, 2009 at 10:36 pm

If anything, they should have a highlight from the Texas game in their top ten. At least give McCoy some love, either for the MW TD pass, or do one of their “special” top ten plays where they just recognize a great accomplishment. ESPN just angers me sometimes.
SydneyCarton said:

Just sent an angry email to my one friend at ESPN. Unfortunately, he’s in their original programming department and not in news….
SydneyCarton said:

November 21st, 2009 at 10:43 pm

More than anything else, my ire is stoked to dizzying levels with the repeated attention Notre Dame gets on these fucking stupid as shit Final Verdict segments just because Lou Holtz is a myopic homer that contends to bring Notre Dame topics up repeatedly throughout the season.

THEY FUCKING FIRED YOU LOU! STOP HOLDING A TORCH FOR THEM AND HANGING ON TO THE GLORY YEARS WITH YOUR INSIPID AL BUNDY MIMICRY!
Sasha is a Longhorn Dog said:

I agree with the ND stuff. Argh.

Though, the whole basketball convo was pretty funny.
Sasha is a Longhorn Dog said:

November 21st, 2009 at 10:54 pm

They didn’t even give McCoy a HELMET STICKER???? Jackasses! I hate them!
blackscholes said:

Yeah, the fact Lou has forgotten that ND fired him makes the whole thing even odder.

Florida whips up on CHATTANOOGA on they’re on the front page of ESPN.com because they’re “11-and-0.” Colt becomes the all-time wins leader (also making us 11-and-0), and he’s nowhere to be found. Typical.
BEHorn said:

November 21st, 2009 at 11:32 pm

I am now emailing ESPN. I know it’s stupid and juvenile and hopeless, etc., but still … there’s a principle at stake here, namely: The promotion of the winningest quarterback OF ALL TIME, who happens to wear a Longhorn jersey.

It’s 2am. Just got home after the game and dinner at Trudy’s

and this made me laugh:

When Mangino stood over his injured player and looked down, I have to confess that I wondered if Mangino could see him. (”Hey, wasn’t there a kid on the ground here a minute ago?”)

Adding extra laptop memory is one of the easiest methods to boost the performance of your system to the optimum level. When you add extra laptop memory to the system, you are able to play the games at a much faster speed.
