  1. Punter is the offensive player mvp so far.
  2. Offensive line doing some pass blocking. EDIT: spoke too soon.
  3. C'mon Smith--pout about both drops now. Sayin did his job.
  4. I liked seeing Smith pout his way to the sidelines on their last series.
  5. Just shoot yourself in the foot Baker.
  6. Mid field--make 'em pay for this. Arch needs to smell blood here.
  7. Tried to focus on getting that foot down in bounds and ball went through his hands. Will take that stop.
  8. Let's see if they mark the tOSU rb two yards short on that run.
  9. 24-20 good guys—Horns Up. edit: 280 through the air for 1 td, 60 with his legs and 1 td, Baxter for the third td.
  10. Read this and thought wow, regarding Mackovic: https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/46079673/arch-manning-texas-five-stories Before his senior year, Peyton asked Archie to drive him to schools he wanted to see on unofficial visits. They gave Texas another look and set it up with Mackovic. When the pair got to Austin, Archie said, Mackovic was nowhere to be found. Instead, they met with offensive coordinator Gene Dahlquist, who didn't even know they were coming. Peyton asked Dahlquist who else the Longhorns were recruiting and asked if they could watch some film. So the Texas OC, Archie and Peyton watched high school film of other quarterbacks. "Peyton said, 'Coach, how do I stack up?'" Archie recalled. "He said, 'You're definitely in our top 12.'" The Mannings know so many people in football that they don't take sides in rivalries or -- generally -- hold any slights from the past against schools. They were tight with Mack Brown and his offensive coordinator, Greg Davis, who both had coached at Tulane and knew them well, so Eli gave the Longhorns serious consideration before opting for Ole Miss. But Archie still says that, for Texas' sake, it was probably fortunate that Arch was Cooper's son and not Peyton's. "Cooper never held it against them," he said. "Peyton never forgot that. Anybody that knows Peyton knows that he doesn't forget."
  11. From Brentwood, MD. TEXAS!!!
  12. Going to change up my expectations some and just hope the Horns survive with a W on Saturday. Going to be some rust, and getting back to hitting and settling the nerves, and that's just the fan bases.
  13. Great breakdown of the tOSU offense last year. don't know that a freshman qb has the maturity that Howard showed. That Texas D flew around, and only had a couple of lapses. Bend but don't break and pressure tOSU's youth at play caller into mistakes. They're going to happen, so capitalize, especially in the rush to get the ball out to Smith or a receiver into disguised coverages. Above all, hopefully, Texas can bring pressure up the middle with the line. Linebackers and safeties, Simmons--great, but really think the pressure up front will break teams, and this is the best opportunity to test what Texas has in the middle. The Horns have depth there, does tOSU? However, on the flip side, I really have no clue what the Longhorn offense is going to look like in action. What a game for both qbs to cut their teeth in.
  14. That schedule looks like potentially 6 losses easily. As pointed to, depth is thin and they got a bunch of weekly dog fights.
  15. I just haven’t seen any reports mentioning him anywhere. edit: see him and Stewart listed. Filthy rb room.
  16. The Texas safety position is going unnoticed, while Downs is getting so much attention. That's a good thing, because Texas has some players there. There's going to be a lot of rust with both teams, and some acclimation going on. But Texas is blazing fast, and some are going to have to learn.
  17. What the hell happened today? One week away and building--let's not get rabid over game prep and words designed to keep people guessing, when the only absolutely need-to-knows are in the locker room gearing up for the final Saturday of August. Hook'em and let's all enjoy the last mostly free Saturday of summer.
  18. 31 in a quarter and last 5 minutes of the 3rd? Unreal.
  19. Kicked the ball right into the back of his own player.
  20. I don't think I've ever seen a meltdown of this calibre, where everything that can go wrong did. St Joseph's Prep is going to feel sick in about :19.
  21. Agreed. It’s about looking, being patient and not intrusive. Plus, it’s more peaceful and natural, which is kinda the point of being in nature.
  22. non sequitur I enjoy birding but more and more I see people with their phones playing birdcalls to attract tanagers and others. I’ve even seen cars playing the sounds over their stereos. I’m not a big fan simply because I can see how a bird could be to troubled by competition to provide and/or forage. Also I think it’ll drive some birds further away from areas that people use to see them. Saying this because I see this every time I go to certain parks. Thoughts?
