[I'm confused]

Not much to report this weekend.

WR Loic Fouonji (Midland Lee) and DE Alfred Collins (Bastrop Cedar Creek) will be taking their officials.

The Brockermeyer brothers are supposed to be in, plus 2021 S Dalton Johnson of Katy.

https://247sports.com/Player/Dalton-Johnson-46077041/



I coached Dalton Johnson his first 2 years of playing flag football and little league baseball teams... this is kid is going to be special... in fact my son played against Milroe on the aTmpkins d-end... those 3 are special athletes

This team is turning into a dumpster fire

That’s an insult to dumpster fires.

[bluetrumpet]

What’s happening? I don’t have LHN and just saw the score!

[Kermit]

What’s happening? I don’t have LHN and just saw the score!

We decided to allow the 1969 Championship Team to suit up and play.

[bluebellmaniac]

Time for Herman to fire someone, take over that position as coach, and begin motivating with some fear for urgency. This crap ain't cutting it. If we don't win by 30+, we ain't moving up in the rankings. He's got to let them know that he is not putting his head on that chopping block. We demand a sacrifice. Payment must be made to the football gods to get this on track.

[benefactor]

No pressure, receivers running wide open...Orlando and Herman need to have a serious heart to heart. This defense looks like dogshit

[TFloss32]

What is it about our third year coaches struggling with Kansas?

Their OC literally coached in the NAIA last year.

And why they fuck does Herman always mail in a game like this? It's like he picks one game a year he should win convincingly and just fucking sleepwalks through it. Texas will never be "back" until he always beats teams he's supposed to beat

[Kermit]

My Christmas wish is for new coordinators on both sides of the ball. It’s time because they both suck.

[benefactor]

What. The. Fuck.

[Trill Clinton]

No way does this entire coaching staff come back next year. These DB's are terrible.

[benefactor]

Bullied by Kansas. Embarrassing

[FkLA]

:lmao UT-Austin

[Pelicans78]

I don’t think Texas is quite back yet.

[Kermit]

We won?

[Cuppycake Gumdrop]

At least Texas is known as Kicker U tho.

[Ballin42]

Screw Orlando! Dials up a blitz with no chance of getting to the QB. It’s on every 3rd down. If Herman wants to keep this job he will find a new D coordinator

[pgardn]

I invest time in reading all these articles and analysis people take their valuable time to find and this is what I get...

Please kill me gently and rapidly.
We are only halfway through this ordeal.


Is Orlando’s system so difficult that people forget to tackle, and does this system have some unknown vector that spreads to the Oline... Why do we even care what this does to recruiting? How can I spin this when people make fun of my habit of caring? So many questions....

I asked to be killed first. So its all moot.

[pgardn]

We won?

We were trying to accomplish winning?
Are you sure you want this?

Because winning leads to expectations.

are we still back?

[Billybass]

Did you guys see that a walkon was playing after jones went out ? This secondary is decimated with injuries. Probably not going to get any better till we get healthy

[horninok]

Really glad I had a family engagement and missed most of the game. Question for those of you more in the know, who are the OCs and DCs worth pursuing should there be some changes?

[Kermit]

are we still back?

Back to almost losing to Kansas.

[Hook Em 88]

Odd position to be in for the team with so much uncertainty and bad play, yet we’re ranked 15th in the country and still have just 2 losses to great teams in ou and lsu. I assumed with the assistant hires Herman made in bringing on Fedora and the Ash guy from Rutgers that we’d be better prepared and continue an upward trend of getting better. In reality we seem to be regressing and have become stagnant. Not sure what to make of this or what the right move should be but clearly we need get a lot better. If Orlando goes so be it I’m sure Herman and Del Conte will find someone suitable just hope it’s not in-season move those always reek of desperation...maybe we’ve reached that point.

Our offense was on fire last night, minus a few turnovers. Sam had nearly 500 yds of total offense. Ingram had over 100 and a TD, DD had over 100 and scored.

Our D on the other had, might as well have been a wet tissue. The D couldn't stop a blind elderly quadriplegic from finding the end zone with great regularity.

[Biggems]

At least we didn't pull a Wisconsin.

Our offensive line was horrible.
Horribly inconsistent.
Sam had 90 yards on the ground due to running for his life.

[pgardn]

At least we didn't pull a Wisconsin.

The last drive was really good

Why did we run a play with 8 s to go, zero time outs, and in FG range. We got dicker ~5 yards closer to a FG readily in range. I totally don’t get this. It worked, but if it had not and time ran out without a FG... whoa

Anyone got an explanation?

Will any press guy have the guts to ask?
Cant wait for the press conferences.

Winning is hard. Check.
We won. Check
The walk-on scholly was on the field and in the secondary due to injuries. Check

We had 8 people in coverage when they quickly threw into a huge open space in the end zone on a very short field.
We had called a timeout to get our secondary straightened out.

I'm at a loss for words.

1. A big reason why we are having so many DB injuries is because they are doing all the tackling. I'd personally like to see our dline and linebackers make a few tackles. I love Giles and Orlando, but they aren't doing their jobs and if this is the best they can do then I'm ready to push these guys out.

2. Our special teams is still making stupid mistakes, I've been ready for wareheim to go since year one, well I hope he has his resume ready. Herman needs to make changes, we are taking steps back not forward. I know Kansas is getting better, they have a pretty good coach, but still no reason for this crap to happen.

3. What has happened to our offensive line? This one has really puzzled me, we have good talent, but some how forget how to work as a unit. I'm really hoping this becomes a wakeup call for this team. I guess losing to blowu wasn't enough we have to lose to teams who shouldn't be on the field with us.

4. As far as I'm concerned this was a loss, and we should treat it as such. This team doesn't deserve to be a top 20 team. Blame it on injuries, but facts are facts. The front 7 are putting our DBs in position that they have to make all the tackles and the results are we are running out of bodies.

5. I'm now at the point I think we need to part ways with a few coaches.

[Bloeddyr10]

So Floss, are we going to talk about potential coaches or are we going to wait until someone's been fired, to keep this thread somewhat on-topic?

I didn't get to watch the game yesterday, but I will tomorrow. Can someone tell me if the defense looked better than against OU or if Orlando does seem to be in way over his head?

The defense was worse and the 4th quarter was atrocious giving up 24 points.

To avoid being dramatic, I want to see how the team does down the stretch, but I have a hard time believing there won't be some changes despite Herman's fierce loyalty to his guys.

Report back if you can make it through the whole game without turning it off.

Pretenders tbh

[GregoryJim]

The Offense scored 48 points including the winning field goal on a drive of about 1:10. Why does the best offensive coaching staff of last 10 years need to get fired again? Was it the coaches fault that Sam threw a dumb interception deep in our territory in the 4q? Was it the coaches fault Jake Smith fumbled deep in our territory in the 4q? No that’s on the players.

The defense is is decimated by injuries. Sterns out. McCulloch out. BJ one arm bandit. Green out. Thompson out. Roach out in 1st half. Brandon out in 4q when our d had to stop drives of 15 yards and 30 yards due to dumb turnovers. Chris Brown out. Yes our d sucked but it’s due to INJURIES.

If the players have to learn a new offense and defense every year because our chicken little fans demand it then our team will be worse once healthy.

Btw this is the same staff that beat Georgia and OU in Dallas last year. And we held OU to 10 points in the 1st half last week then injuries and ejections caught up with us.

Boise State which was #14 and undefeated suffered their first loss yesterday so we would have likely jumped a spot or so if we lay it on Kansas but of course that didn’t happen.

Welcome aboard and post more.

I believe the biggest issue is that the Texas defensive scheme is the definition of insanity right now, especially on 3rd downs. I'm willing to give them time to right the ship, but it's not going to be pretty the rest of this year with the injuries on D. I can see Herman bringing in a CO-DC next year to help on D and caning someone from the offensive staff. It's beyond me to have a 6 to 4 split anyways.

If Texas can somehow find away to beat TCU next week, then they have a bye week and can get some players back. We need Sterns healthy in a bad way right now.

I actually am more upset with the offensive line.
Did you watch the game? 48 points does not tell the whole story.
Our offensive line blocked very well for some runs, but then just horrible for passes that take some time to develop and just completely missed the same assignments on twists again. The last drive actually had some quick throws that broke for gains.

Also of note. Kansas missed 2 field goals and had numerous horrible penalties that set them back and actually let us stop some of their drives.

I also see the late gains we made last year. We got better.
So wtf is going on?
That game was horrible. Coming out of another horrible game in which a 7 pt game was more like a 24 pt game.
I personally have not called for the firing of anyone, but the obvious lack of consistently and the same dumb special team mistakes on kickoffs... inexcusable. get it fixed.

[texas4ever]

Did anyone else see we had a walk on playing DB in the 4th quarter last night? Who could've thought that going into the season. I'm not making excuses for our horrible D, but this puts a little more perspective on how bad-off we're in the injury department at the moment on D.

Yep,
MAson the RB volunteer.
The preparation part was notable. People did not know where they were supposed to be.
We even called a timeout to get set in the secondary and it did not happen.
Are the defensive backfield assignments to difficult for the new group, simplify then.

I forgot Kansas also dropped a very open TD but scored later anyway to add to my post above.

If we are looking at coaching changes. the first that needs to go is Wareheim. He is a good guy but he is poison to whatever position he coaches. be it the offensive line, or TEs or special teams. he can't recruit worth a damn. He should have been fired after year 1. So now he absolutely needs to go.

I'm now open to Orlando leaving. I want to point something out to you. Look at our top 10 tacklers this year. What you will see is 3 linebackers and 7 Dbs. What you won't see is a defensive linemen. The top 2 defensive linemen in tackles are coming in at #12 and 13. Is there a better indictment of how badly our scheme is. We need to make wholesale changes or we are going to start getting some de-commitments I Know I wouldn't want to play in a scheme like this. If Orlando can't or is unwilling to make changes he needs to go.

Bad defensive permormances to Oklahoma and LSU is one thing, but that was a real stinker against the worst team in the conference. I don't care how much lipstick Herman puts on that pig, it's still a pig.

4. Front 7? when was the last time Texas ran a defensive alignment with a front 7? They are not going to regularly get pressure with only three down linemen; therefore, as a consequence, they have to bring one or two backs (LB or DB) to try and sneak into the backfield - this isnt working - and all it does is open up the second level to exploitation in the passing attack and open field for running.

1. If you are going to only have a 3, 5 or 6 defensive front and all or part of that front is to rush the QB, then, yeah, your DBs will make the majority of tackles and will invariably have the most injuries, esp if they use bad technique. If your base D is nickle and dime with an 8 DB set sprinkled in, then of course they will get the most tackles.
How can they have 6 or 8 DBs and such wide open receivers? they could have man-on-man underneath and STILL have cover 2 or 3 over the top. Who is teaching these DBs to NOT look for the ball? they could have had several interceptions yesterday if all they did was look for the ball that was thrown short. Who is teaching these guys to look down and leave their feet leading with the forearm and shoulder?

I generally dont even look at polls or stats until after the 6th game of the season because they are skewed by the OOC schedule, however, by the 8th game (after the 7th) I think we are able to identify real trends; Texas is 119th in total defense, which is horrible, but passing yards allowed is 126th out of 130 teams and that is simply unacceptable - something HAS to change.

3. The OL run blocking is not adequate and it should be against every team in this conference except 0U and that is surprising. This offense needs a real dual threat TE; some of the best runs come when Cosmi is an unbalanced line in the TE position. That should not have to be the case with an experienced line in this conference.

2. ST play is absolutely mind-boggling. Some (most?) of these players have been holding a football since they were in diapers and, yet, they make some of the most boneheaded mistakes - I dont get it. And, some of the worst offenders are not even the freshmen; last week the seniors were screwing up.

The entire secondary is hurt because they're making all of the tackles. The front seven or 6, whatever this defense runs is either getting gashed or not applying pressure. Also, they don't know how to tackle, that's on coaching. Guys are lowering their heads into the ball carriers and getting hurt.

Your right, it's a mis-name on my part, our front 5 is putting our dbs in position where they have to make all the tackles.

Orlando/Giles can't see that Ta'quon Graham is a DT playing DE, you would think his lack of production would be a hint. Coburn is good where he is, but moving him over to a 3i along with Graham would make much more sense. Ossai as a WDE would put him in much better position to make plays. Or at the very least start Roach on the strong side and Bimage on the weak side.

A 4-2-5 defense trumps our crappy 3-2-6 or whatever you wish to call it.

As for our offensive line. I'm totally at a loss except we need to call a little more max protect and quit acting like these guys don't need help. Shackleford and Braun over the last 2 games have been getting owned. It's starting to get embarrassing.

[Eastexhorn]

Yes there is a lot of injuries on defense how ever defense was no better before the injuries IMO. Some say Kanasas off. looked good. It was thier off. cord. first game. He had two weeks to prepare.Texas defense coaches have had all year.

Definitely would prefer to see more of a 4-2-5 look more often on the defensive side of the ball. Using Ossai or Roach as a stand up DE in that alignment would terrorize QBs. and allow for the use of zone blitz schemes to change things up. Would also be much more effective against the run. Adeoye, Hobbs and Mitchell seem very capable of manning the lb spots with Ovreshown and BJ being the hybrid DB/LB types on the outside. Seemingly plenty of big boys to handle the other three lineman positions. Lots of athleticism with that bunch and lots of flexibility to scheme from week to week.

From your keyboard to God's PC, I hope someone sits Orlando down and lets him know, fix it or get your resume ready.

Did any of you guys catch Ricky Williams and what he and Griffin had to say? Both of them didn’t mince words when it came to the product that Herman is putting on the field!! We will struggle to go 9 and 3, if this shit play continues. And you guys should also check out the exchange between Herman and Brian Davis during the Kansas post game news conference in which Herman was forced to speak to the embarrassing state of the defense at this time. Herman’s response tells it all!!

Wareheim must go, then maybe we can add a second DC to our defense. Even though our oline has sucked as of late, I still trust Hand to get it right.

I have 3 wishes

1. Wareheim gets the Ax
2. We go to a 4 man front
3. We add another defensive coach to help with schemes.

[Hook Em 88]

explain?

He was very indecisive throughout his recruitment and enjoyed trolling both aggy and Texas fan bases. Very dramatic during entire recruiting process.

[GregoryJim]

So our Defensive starters will be:
DL - Roach - Sr, Coburn - Fr, Graham - Jr
LB - Ossai - So, Mitchell - So, Ade - Fr
DB - Jones - Sr (hurt?), BJ - So, Cook - So, Overshown - So, Boyce - So

2 frosh, 6 soph, 1 jr and 2 srs. Missing best lb - mc and best dB - sterns. Both up the middle defenders who help make sure young guys are lined up right. Ade and Mitchell having never played before this year hurts for same reason.

With that much youth, we’re not going to magically get better on D. Coaches can’t expect 8 underclassmen to run much more than basic ds. Also, 4 Sophs in secondary aren’t going to hold up with lotta blitzing.

Offense is going to have to carry us. I wasn’t in love with Davante and Boyd at CB last year but I’d love to have them now.

We are theoretically supposed to have a deep team that is talented.
We have played 2 outstanding offenses in LSU and Oklahoma.
But Kansas doing this... no excuses. (Unless that new offensive coordinator is pure magic)

And yep the O is going to have to carry us. But NOT like what we saw against Kansas. Enormous regression.

Per Inside Texas, they're hearing things are trending in the direction of coaching changes, no matter how loyal Herman wants to be to his guys.

The donors that Del Conte deals with are "quite unhappy" about the last two overall performances against OU and Kansas, and Herman was already feeling heat because of the defense's performance against LSU.

These are the same donors who put forth millions upon millions for the new stadium project, and Herman apparently doesn't have the goodwill capital that older guys like Mack and DeLoss used to have.

First of all, CDC is one of the last guys to ever micromanage the job of the head football coach. Additionally, Chris knows how to deal with donors who believe they are entitled to give input as to how any head program coach should make decisions. Do not think Texas is still back in the days where the big money guys can threaten the program. Operating revenues for Texas athletics are approaching a quarter of a billion dollars per year, and few outside donors to the athletics program are giving at a rate where their contributions are unquestionably material to UT athletics.

As for Herman's goodwill with the alumni, this is exactly what I was warning about back when Tom gave the alumni the finger so he could have Horny and Leitao. Tom used up his goodwill capital on those two decisions and he doesn't have it available now that he needs it. Hopefully, this will be a learning experience for Herman and he will make better decisions in the future. But Tom Herman created the situation he now faces.

I hope Horny and Leitao were worth it. From my perspective, neither was worth expending so much goodwill on.

Good points, but we all know that winning buys you a lot of goodwill. Outside of Bevo destroying Uga and the RRS Oct 2018, there's not been a lot of big wins. The defense and special teams have regressed to almost Chuck Strong level. To be honest, I was almost hoping for KU to win because I fear what zero U will do to us in Dec should we be so lucky to get there.

Tom might be a mensa, but right now he's not looking very smart in the moves and coaching that are being made. They need to let go of the 3-4 and go to the 4-3. He's got to get less stubborn and more smarter....

Running a program the size and scope of UT Austin's isn't something someone just steps into. It takes a few years to understand how to manage all the different aspects of the job.

What matters is that the person trying to be the next long term leader of the program is learning from his mistakes after the first time he makes the mistake, and that he doesn't repeat past mistakes. And, of course, that he wins on the field.

We will see whether Tom Herman is the next long term leader of UT football. He stands a very good chance, but how he handles the latest challenge will be material to his future. To his advantage, CDC is someone he can rely on to give him both support and advice (much unlike Charlie Strong's experience with Steve Patterson).

The challenge now is to see how Herman reacts to the problem. His challenge moving forward will be to act before the problem becomes so glaringly evident.

some good stuff here. Mack walked into a great situation for him in that not only did he have a stacked team that under performed but he also had an AD that was in position for almost 20 yrs at the time and a revered icon (Royal) that advocated for him (and a malleable school president); all of which helped him maneuver around and through institutional minefields at the beginning of his tenure. I think CDC could have that type of influence in another 5-10 yrs or so but, be that as it may, Strong and Herman didnt and dont have that type of influence guiding and advocating for them. That advocacy is probably not as important now as it was twenty years ago, but it isnt nonexistent either.

Mack walked into a much better situation and didnt get to 10 wins in a season until his 4th season. I think we will see the something similar in Herman's fourth season, and that may not be a reasonable expectation.

Most college football fans fail to fully appreciate the contributions of a quality AD and a good support staff when evaluating the performance of any coach in any sport. Fans look at "facilities," thinking things such as nap pods (LSU) and a barber chair (A&M) are what makes a difference.

Charlie Strong was hapmered by the relocation of the tutoring facilities away from the football facilities, creating yet another hurdle for the players needing to focus on classwork. And Steve Patterson was indifferent.

Patterson also fired John Bianco. Bianco was the buffer between media access requests and the head coach. Without Bianco serving as traffic manager, Charlie was overwhelmed by the enormity of the media demands, the alumni demands, and the program demands.

Tom Herman needs to step up his game with respect to managing the program. CDC has been incredibly successful at the first stage of eliminating the bloat within Bellmont, and giving Coach Herman the tools he needs to manage the football program.

The effectiveness of CDC will be shown by how the other programs perform (especially men's basketball, baseball, swimming, and volleyball).

Mack walked into a great opportunity. I personally wish Deloss would step up and speak more about the history and development of UT athletics under his tenure (remember when Deloss took over as AD, UT athletics revenues were less than $1 mil/yr).

If CDC fully establishes himself as the captain of the ship, we can truly hold the coaches accountable for how they manage their programs.

I am somewhat comfortable, but still apprehensive. We all know things are not right within the UT football program. I don't thing any of us are quite sure where the problems are. But, if CDC is who I think he is, they will soon be identified.

He was down to Texas and blowu, I'm guessing he is now going to switch to the gooners. If we get Collins, I'll not worry. I've said since summer that Collins is the prize in a very weak dline class.

Collins and Princely are buds, so hopefully this won't turn into a bigger deal than it is currently.

Princely never liked Orlando's 3-man front, and he talked about taking visits right after he committed so it's difficult to freak out here.

Texas should lose Eaton too, but anyone after that would be no bueno.

let’s not create a false narrative

Anwar's responses on the thread in OB: There seems to be something to it. I am hearing there is some truth to this, but nobody wants to say who the person is. I'm told the situation is sensitive. It appears there might be more to story than a guy just skipping practice to be rebellious. Be patient with this one. Sounds like the player might be dealing with some personal issues, which is why everyone prefers to keep it in-house. It means the player might be going through something that goes beyond football. I'm told it's a "welfare" deal and they want to be very sensitive to the player. What that means? I don't know. Like you, I hope it's nothing major.

So Jake Smith fumbles in the 4th Q leading directly to a TD and now wants to transfer? After playing all year as a freshman and getting a ton of targets?

And the other unhappy player may be Ingram who inexcusably dropped the TD pass against LSU? Plus he’s been getting outplayed all year by a qb.

I don’t wanna lose either but lemme know when rojo or devduv wants to transfer.

Back in in the day Jake wouldn’t have a girlfriend after almost losing the game. And in the NFL, Ingram- nm - he’s never gonna get there if he can’t tote the rock better than Sam and Rojo.

I agree with this he seemed to have to good games so far LSU and one other I don’t recall the opponent. Every other game he and Ehlinger can’t seem to connect or it’s just drops same with Jake Smith. Several games they try to hit plays to those two and they have moments but far too many drops.

[soldierhorn]

agree... no underclassman that has any concept of being a team player should ever complain about playing time, esp from someone that has had so many drops. It wouldnt surprise me at all if he was demoted and told that Burt would get more playing time against TCU.

I'm going to post some tidbits from The Football Brainiacs' latest update.

Ignore if you don't like them, but it could be interesting to follow up on in a month or two.

- there is tension in the locker room right now between certain players and coaches, which they acknowledge is fairly normal, but they believe it's an "excessive" amount at this time. Some of it involves players feeling they've worked way too hard in the offseason and bought into the new culture to end up receiving poor coaching in certain position groups.

- they're hearing some bigger names are starting to throw their names out there as transfer possibilities at the end of the year, and Herman has already met with some of the 2019 guys in hopes of circling the wagons a bit.

- they don't feel this is necessarily a "win and everything will be fine" situation, but a coach or two will need to be replaced to fix some cultural issues even if the team makes the conference championship game. They think Herman has already decided to let one or two coaches go.

- if Texas loses two or three more games, they feel Del Conte would step in and force change even if Herman wants to keep his staff intact, much like he did at TCU when Patterson desperately needed a new offense.

I think that about covers it.

[pgardn]

Maybe he, like every other member of the wide receiver core, hates his coach.

How do "we" know this.
What is it, he is a bad coach and does not know his stuff, he is a unyielding asshole, what?
Why the hell dont I know any of this...

How did we get these receivers in the first place? I think they are pretty damn good. In fact I would say along with QB, a position of strength.

How does Ehlinger get along with the WR coach because he (Sam) definitely talks to the WR about routes during games?

What is the basic problem here, anyone?

Edit: I posted this as TFloss was putting up his post. So Im going to guess one is a WR coach.

I don't know how much of it is truth, but I've seen rumors here and there since Herman was hired that Mehringer isn't well-liked.

That seemed to be more of a thing in 2017, though, when players were adjusting to the new staff.

Herman seems far too aware not to take care of this stuff. You cant spout out culture and then be an awful coach and an asshole. Herman has said himself the coaches are always evaluating each other as well. So lets get this done and win.
Please... Its been way too long. We have got to get back to a top 10 team every year. There really is no excuse if the funding is there to get the best people and the best kids (and I mean all around best kids) Austin is an incredible place as well.

This should be a LB offer since he tagged Coach Orlando.

So jake sm complained (allegedly) after he fumbled at the 10 v Okie lite but before he fumbled at our 30 v Kansas.

I’d love to know which players on D are blaming coaching for missed tackles. I’d love to know which dbs are blaming coaches for failing to get their head around to break up passes. I guess their coaches in peewee fball, junior hi, and hi school never taught them that either.

I’d also like to know which offensive players are complaining about bad coaching. I bet it’s not Sam, Devduv or rojo. It’s amazing how bad our coaches suck but somehow cosmi and shack and beck and rojo and kerstetter and Sam are/were way better players than their h.s. Recruiting rankings predicted. I bet if these guys would work harder they might get better.

Blaming eveyone but yourself for you not playing better is what bad players do.

Point(s) well taken. Fair enough.

But if our inability to get to the QB is a formation issue. Fix it.

When our d-linemen encounter two hats either simultaneously, or after they rid themselves of one blocker, on almost every pass play... and the fourth guy “blitzing” from an unknown position almost always takes a clogged lane..... There is something wrong. We have admitted this is a problem. Make it go away.

If our receivers were constantly having to make plays on 50/50 balls; There could be something wrong with the route. Fix it. Get guys wide open on occasions. No, get guys open frequently, even better. If the QB is not finding them when they are open, fix it. We can continue with this. Last year our RBs got the shit knocked out of them. They were getting hit in the backfield, by unblocked men, etc... The transfer from Cal was a godsend because he got physically punished. But a month off we got things straightened out in the Sugar Bowl. The defense was actually getting pushed back on their heels. We physically dominated a team. Let’s do that. Anyway we can.

Yep. Winning cures a lot. Hopefully they kick the dog shit out of TCU today and we can get back to business

Kansas St trying to be to OU what Kansas was to Texas last week

[benefactor]

OU looks shook. That defense that played Texas is nowhere to be found.

[Vdem]

So... I wonder if players that decommitted or thinking of it were looking at OU?(sucks)

It’s a good day when ou loses
ou sucks

[Vito Corleone]

Color me shocked that the Big 12 refs made that last decision against blowu. I thought for sure they would give the ball to the gooners.

[DMX7]

Just a calamity of errors so far. Officials appear to have picked their side as well.

[Blake]

This game feels like it'll end 31-27 UT

[Blake]

Yup, even though his stats were pretty mediocre last night

.... Regarding Shane

[Blake]

Thanks for the timeout for a free kick. Lol

[Kermit]

This game feels like it'll end 31-27 UT

They’ll be lucky to score 31 the way this is going.

[Kermit]

So now Sam sucks too. This entire fucking team has AIDS.

[benefactor]

Sam is getting worse. What the fuck is going on?

[Kermit]

Sam is getting worse. What the fuck is going on?

I was assured the suckage was due to injuries. Perhaps Sam sprained his pussy.

[soldierhorn]

Sam flat out sucks today; bad decisions, throwing late and behind receivers. Ingram plays like he has to dance out of quicksand to get started.

[leemajors]

the line is terrible.

[texbound]

They’ll be lucky to score 31 the way this is going.

Well, they're going to need at least 31 points now.

[TFloss32]

This is awkward...

[soldierhorn]

RJohnson with a burst of energy forcing the action which resulted in facemask

[soldierhorn]

Burt caught a pass?

[benefactor]

At this point, I don't even know if I want to watch them play ISU or Baylor.

[Trill Clinton]

I miss the Manny Diaz era defense. This predictable defense Orlando runs is terrible.

[Kermit]

Maybe they’ll leave coach bitch tits on the tarmac in Fort Worth.

[benefactor]

Fitting ending. This team needs to do some soul searching. Sam looks like shit. Herman was outcoached. I don't even know what to think.

Fuck.

[DMX7]

ugly as shit game.

[DMX7]

I miss the Manny Diaz era defense. This predictable defense Orlando runs is terrible.

Not going to beat anyone decent in the big xii with third stringers loaded out on defense in the secondary.

[Kermit]

Fuck.

Herman is constantly out coached. Like frighteningly so. He is not good. Dude needs quality coordinators and they suck too. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but losing three more games this season might be for the best.

[Trill Clinton]

Not going to beat anyone decent in the big xii with third stringers loaded out on defense in the secondary.

Okay so why call a zero blitz on 3rd and 14 putting those freshman on an island when the entire world knows they cannot cover? Poor coaching period.

[Pelicans78]

Herman has always been nothing but hype.

[bluetrumpet]

Time to fire some people!

[Vito Corleone]

I've lost all confidence in Tom Herman and I'm ready to start over with a new coach.

[Ballin42]

Tom constantly gets out coached. Too easy of an offense/defense to read

[benefactor]

Herman has always been nothing but hype.
He seems to be able to coach his team up for big games, but otherwise it seems like he doesn't give a fuck. I'm starting to agree with those that say it might be time to move on.

I'm with you. Screw it. Tired of watching a decade long shit-show.

I would tell this team to go fuck themselves but they would miss the hole.

I guess our OC is afraid of establishing the run. Im sick of this one dimensional nonsense.

They should have told Sam to look for the run long before they did. DB's were just waiting for the throws. Sam's a good thrower of the ball, but lets not get it twisted...he's good for 10 every time if he breaks contain. Again, coaching.

[benefactor]

And of course, Notre Dame picks this week to have their annual trip over our own dick game. That happening and OU losing softens the blow slightly...but only slightly
