Open Thread: Holiday Bowl – Ndamukong Suh vs. Arizona Wildcats
Posted by Sailor Ripley on December 30th, 2009 under Football
As Texas fans we witnessed a game that probably single-handedly cost Colt McCoy the Heisman while simultaneously elevating Ndamukong Suh into Heisman contention and ultimately allowed him to shag six valkyries on his way to Asgard and kick Odin’s ass out of his throne.
So, let’s see what he can do against offensive juggernaut Arizona.
Nate from Better Off Red has written up a few notes about the game.
Trips has cried uncle.

“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

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.

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.

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.

Mike Leach and Craig James were apparently in the same room this week and nobody wrestled. Bummer. Leach

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.

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.

Trips,
Great work all year long. Love the passion. The fact that you kept writing these (even around the birth of a child), is fantastic, shows your commitment, and is a little freaky. :-)
I think you showed great restraint in this post. It would have been easier to “go off” on Barnes.

Wondering how this affects the media’s take on our team and our game. Maybe not much, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s worth a 1/2-point on our line in the next day or two. Would probably correct back but I could see it happening.

They did indeed say that. Unsurprising, since they said in the intro that Pelini still felt the second shouldn’t have been put back on the clock. Hard to imagine Florida helping us the same way, huh?

“Bo Pellini says Nebraska will be FIVE times better next year.”
Part of being a rotten fruit dangling from the withered branches of the Stoops Coaching Tree is that you mindlessly overhype your team, to the point of utter silliness.
You also ooze the bitter juice of “We’ll help anyone try to beat Texas!”
Scumbags, each of ‘em. I’m glad that fucker Leach got fired; like every other putrid offshoot of the Stoops Tree, such as the Fat Man of KU, he’s irretrievably tainted.
Aledo said:
December 30th, 2009 at 11:19 pm
He only coached with Stoops a season and it was before Bob became Big Game Bob.
The Pelini shit is tiresome, however.
Beyond the shadow of a doubt, there was time on the clock. His tirade post Big XII game was only venial in that you could empathize with his emotion over a close loss and the events that led to it.
To be (a) bitching about it later and (b) helping Saban makes him a giant cock skin bag full of douche water and envy.

Craig James was nervous, and he was not thinking about the game. Did anyone hear him start to provide some commentary, say “Tech”, and stop? The other guys covered for him, but it was obvious.
I have never liked Craig James’ persona. I’ve always thought that he was a ‘face man’, without substance or character. This incident has further solidified that opinion, and it has absolutely no bearing on my opinion of Leach.
Pelini helping Saban? We need to leave this conference, and if it means taking the Ags with us, so be it.

This is getting to be a tired statement from Longhorn fans. You guys are like the hot chick on her second marriage looking forward to her third. Very pretty…but my goodness, what a annoying bitch.
No one arguing with you….you belong in the pac10.
