Can This Marriage Be Saved?

Posted by TaylorTRoom on February 16th, 2010 under Football

I think so, but it will take more vision than we are used to seeing from the current Big 12 leadership.

A Quick Look At Vince’s Progress

Posted by TaylorTRoom on December 21st, 2009 under Football

Remember the 2006 NFL Draft of QBs? Tennessee took Young with the 3rd pick, Arizona took Leinart around 10th, and Denver took Cutler 11th. After the first year, the general consensus was that Tennessee, gambling on an unpolished passer like Young might have caught lightning in a bottle, Leinart just needed time, and that canny old sage, Mike Shanahan, found the real jewel in the

Dispelling some myths and misconceptions as we possibly enter a period where things may open up again... 1. Texas has not been a good conference partner.

Rah, Rah, TCU!

It has been interesting to read the TCU "Killerfrogs" board. They have as many posts panning Texas as they do pumping TCU.

Texas

Posted by TaylorTRoom on December 5th, 2009 under Football

25 - 1 over the last two years, the best in the nation (TCU is second at 24 - 1). Longest win streak in the nation. Seconds from being 26 - 0. On to Pasadena to settle this.

Remembering Nov. 18, 1999

Posted by TaylorTRoom on December 2nd, 2009 under Football

Most cultures, modern and ancient, have ghost stories.  Even cultures that do not have an afterlife in their religious cosmology are concerned about the restless spirit, kept from its deserved rest.  The great secret that the young do not know, but those older do, is that death in itself is not to be feared.

As the Titans Turn- VY at Houston on MNF

Posted by TaylorTRoom on November 19th, 2009 under Football

Hard to believe that this will be Vince's first game back in Houston since his rookie year.  He was hurt in 2007, and benched in 2008.  He left as a conqueror in 2006, and returns as a guy trying to save his career in 2009. Has there ever been a player who has been as misunderstood?  There is so much contradictory info out there.  He has a career passer rating of 70.1, which is below average.

Zombie Coaches

Posted by TaylorTRoom on November 10th, 2009 under Football

No, not coaches like Chizik, that will devour your brain, but rather coaches that are like "zombie banks", that are dead (their schools want to fire them), but still moving (because their schools lack the buyout money to do so). I think that this is a new phenomena, because buyouts got so large in recent years. I think Dan Hawkins is a zombie coach. He and CU both know it's not going to work out. It would

Forecasting the Big 12 South and BCS, Nov. 9

Posted by TaylorTRoom on November 10th, 2009 under Football

Not a lot of change for Texas this week, because we were expected to win. TAMU's projections took a hit with their loss (they still project to give Texas its 4th toughest game), and OU needs to win out to reach 8 wins before their bowl. TT/OSU is a big game. I have added a section on the bottom for undefeated teams. TCU is waiting for Texas to stumble (would they stay ahead of an
