    Believe it or not most people don't respond well to people like Nick Saban in any business, line of work or sport. You are right. It is my opinion and I won't change it.

    Not every coach has to be like Nick Saban but you do need some Ass kickers on a staff. It’s been over 30 yrs since I put pads on but I remember the coaches that got our adrenaline pumping and got us playing with some anger. I believe there is value in that. You could see the difference on the field Saturday between our intensity level and theirs, it matters.

    I'm a Rice Grad and an OU fan since I moved to Oklahoma City in 2003.  My take is your players feel like they made it once they get to Texas.  OU players have a chip on their shoulder playing against a team with a bigger athletic budget, have the longhorn network, have recruiting advantages etc. etc.  OU players scratch and claw to get better.  I feel Texas players think they have already made it so don't work as hard.  

    If you are a Rice grad, you should be smarter than this. As much as I hate to admit it, OU is just as much a blue blood as Texas. Coaching and culture are the differences.

    This might be true, but they were noticeably bigger and faster than we were. 

    I just don’t agree with this. This I what the “ SEC, SEC” crowd want you to believe. They were bigger at some positions and smaller at others. As a team we are probably faster. Did they play faster? Yes. Were they more physical? Yes. That is the problem.

  4. I’m ambivalent on the qb change, but if you’re replacing that position and not any of the obvious worse offenders from that shit show of a game you’re doing it wrong. Also, Sark basically said at the presser if he yells guys don’t listen and get the point of the teaching.  Okay, but after you teach and before the game someone needs to crawl up their ass and make them breathe fire, no more orange slices until you learn how to play like a BAMF.

  5. I work for a large metropolitan fire department and was in my 2nd year on the job. On the 11th I was working with our training staff to put together a CPAT (Candidate Physical Ability Test). We were hearing initially about a plane flying into the WTC and all figured it must have been a small Cessna or similar plane. When the 2nd one hit we knew something was wrong.

    My FIL was on Texas Task Force 1. He deployed immediately and was in NYC on the 12th. He doesn’t talk much about it but has told us a few stories of finding bones or body parts and hoping it gave some families at least some closure if they had something to bury. It was a brutal time for my wife because I think she finally realized the dangers of our profession.

    Tell me what recruiting service listed Arkansas classes even close to ours over the last 4 years.

    Exactly,

    saying we don’t have the talent yet to compete with this offensive line is laughable. Coburn, Ojomo, Broughton, and especially Collins were all highly coveted by most major programs. They are plenty good enough to beat Arkansas. Scheme, coaching , and especially attitude/intensity are much bigger issues.

    this right here,  not a single person on the o line stood up for his QB.  not a single one.  Ive watched highschool games where any late hit on any player and the team mates  the brothers the battles rush over to crush these offender for hitting their brother.  not a single slack jawed pussy out there did anything to defense hudson they jsut looked around like durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.   you kick that dude squarely in his throat for cheap shotting your QB and you send a message thats my QB dont touch him.

     

    but then again we have a team full of pussies 

    This right here is why I don’t think many of our O-Line problems have anything to do with talent. Please find me a starter that when recruited most if not all major programs in the region wouldn’t have given their left nut for at the time, and yet they all have better lines than we do. It’s development and coaching. When an opponent’s cheap shots anger fans more than the players, the right kind of attitude is not being developed in practice.

  8. We didn’t lose this game because we were out talented , we didn’t lose because recruiting sucks, we lost because of a shitty game plan that didn’t adjust and players playing soft. I saw on the first few drives when a defensive player made a tackle they would push our guys in the face mask on the way up just to disrespect them, I saw the same from their offensive players. They played with a hate fueled intensity from the beginning and that helped to set the tone physically for the rest of the game. Our players weren’t ready to play and that is on them to a degree but moreso the coaching staff.

    I have never seen the Horns beat 0u in person.  I do have the stolen 15-15 tie in '84.

    But I have a grand total of 7 caps for the US National Team, 7-0-0, 12 goals for, 0 against.

    So I have that going for me, which is nice.
