  1. Starting to realize Texas, Tech and Oklahoma State are the only teams in the conference with quality wins thus far. Oklahoma has played no one, and looks less impressive each week. (though they could still be really good. West Virginia has played no one, though they look like they should against the nobodies. I think this thing is wide open. And I think there's a good chance the teams that end up in the conference championship game both have multiple losses.
  2. Patterson: "You gotta give Texas' defense credit. We tried to go sideways and it didn't work out against them." Going into this game, lots of people on here were scared of TCU's speed. I think it's slowly starting to dawn on people that with Gary Johnson, Brandon Jones, and Caden Sterns pursuing horizontally, we have the athletes to match this conference. And with Boyd, Locke and Davis playing well outside, we're able to shut down the run game without moving guys out of the box. TCU and USC have above average running games, and they could do absolutely nothing against us on the ground. This defense is the reason I'm optimistic about making a run at this conference.

    Cant wait to hear what the spin doctors at TCU decide to make their negative recruiting pitch about now. Actually they probably just move ok to recruits considering schools they can still talk shit about. They know no other game.
  4. Random but I actually thought the play by play guy was good yesterday. I think I like the Fox guys more than ESPN. Who was it?
  5. Feel like that's going to happen a lot this season. Not necessarily a bad thing.
  6. The Pats have the best coach in football, and they struggle early almost every season. College football is less forgiving than the NFL, but just because you struggle early in the year doesn't mean you aren't a strong football mind. Texas improved throughout the year last season, and they improved throughout games. Every week Texas is taking less time to adjust to their opponent. Gotta finish the season strong, but some good signs.
  7. Glad I didn't praise them leading up to this.
  8. Sam moved up in the pocket! Wow. Love this team.
  9. O-line has looked good in the run and the pass. Team looks like it's growing.
  10. The people who complain about the tone of orange might consider that they probably started hating the "new" hue around the same time HD TVs came out. Or maybe it's the Mandella Effect.
  11. Sucks. I don't think he was playing in a good spot though. Tulsa got a TD last week almost solely because Roach wasn't quick enough to move in from the flats. I hope he gets healthy and changes position next year.
  12. Congrats to them on their zero (or 0.5) Big XII championships in that time period. They got beat by two scores against a team breaking in a new QB just like them. Oregon State put up more points on Ohio State than them. Maybe TCU beats Texas because our coaching staff is flawed, but I don't need to suck their dick the week leading up to it.
  13. I get it if you want to say we're going to get killed because of our coaching staff. But the TCU worship in this thread is annoying.
  14. Cuz Moore was overthrown and made a diving grab when he was open.
  15. I feel like we were owed this after the long reign of Gideon and Haines.
  16. Can people quit saying that a 20 year old should still be in high school?
  17. When I'm reading what you write and not looking directly at the avatar, I keep thinking it looks like Gretzky from the mullet era.
  18. Don't forget Robin Hood. With the animals.
  19. North Texas has definitely looked well coached the past couple years.
  20. I'm not. I did hear from an opposing coach that he was suspended the first half of the game, so that fits the mold of a held-back kid. Could be why he's only a 3 star. Dude is definitely bigger than junior film. Legit carried 6 defenders for 10 yards on one play.
  21. I don't know if Herman gets hair plugs or uses something like Propecia, but maybe he can use one of those as an excuse to the incompetence. He's definitely using something. Dude was balder last year.
  22. Was watching film and came across Titus Swen from Eaton. Currently a 3 star with offers from the SMU type schools. This dude looks like the most physical runner I've seen in the DFW area in a while. Brewer couldn't tackle him with 5 guys. Dude should get late offers and if we miss on Cain, I wouldn't be disappointed with him.
  23. I do really like Ingram. 6+ yards a carry and has the shiftiness to make our line look better than it actually is. I didn't expect him to be this good. Sterns and Foster look good too. We're getting more from freshmen than we are our senior class. Hager, Omenihu, etc are the most disappointing part of this team. The offense looks like it should be competent. The pieces are there. It just falls apart, and Beck is terrible whenever we have bad field position.
  24. There are a lot of high school DCs around the state who are copying Orlando's defense, and for good reason. But when I see those teams face a school that goes under center and uses sweeps or lineman the way Maryland did, they adjust their front. Orlando never adjusted his front and I think it was cocky. If your defense is built to slow down Oklahoma, you still have to adjust to your non conference opponents. We kind of care about those games here.
  25. We're getting gashed outside consistently and it'd be nice if we could adjust away from the 4i for a moment.
