  1. Maryland is likely the third-worst team on the schedule when it comes to overall talent (Kansas and Tulsa being below them). K-State and Maryland might be similar but Texas lost to a team in chaos without a coach in as friendly a road venue as you’ll find so I seriously doubt they can beat Purple Wizard in a true road game. 

    USC on the road might be a toss up. If Texas starts off well (lol) that’s a ton of pressure on a young team on the road. 

    I’s put money on 2-4 if i wasn’t  a reformed gambling addict.

    Doesn’t pass the sniff test to me. They called the second half like the first quarter. They had half-decent uptempo drives in the 2nd (but I think part of that was Maryland was being Maryland and never called a TO, they were gassed.)

    So Herman took over and the team showed life but immediately after halftime turtled and ran an offensive offense  ... and Herman didn’t stop Beck? 

    I call bullshit. None of them have a goddamn clue what they’re doing offensively.

    Basically Herman. But at least they won more games

    Michigan is 9-9 in their last 18 and hasn’t beat a ranked team since iirc 2006.

    Fun stat: When they kick off next week, Michigan will have gone a full calendar year without a WR catching a TD pass.

    Maybe we can play them in the wilderness and create a black hole.

    Quick poll: how many power 5 schools started their first offensive play of the season with a delay of game and an equipment malfunction?  

    This offensive coaching staff is flat out fucking incompetent, down to the fucking equipment manager.  Just a total parade of douchebags, sycophants, and yes men.

    I believe the delay of game was a nod to Maryland’s deceased player. Maryland took the first play without a lineman, I believe Herman did the delay in respect. 

    Maryland had iirc three players removed for the new knee Iad rule. Michigan and ND did too. It’s a stupid-ass rule.

    I’ll trash this staff all day but those items aren’t why.

  5. I think what pisses me off more than the lack of adequate offensive scheming is all the personal fouls and dead ball penalties.

    That’s the truest sign of players not being coached properly and on their own. They lost yesterday because we extended three drives that led to scores because PFs.  

    That bullshit is on the head coach and he has to take responsibility or the ship will sink before it even lists.

    The bright side is the freshmen and young guys played well. The only one that looked like shit was Ehlinger. The problem is if we have another shit season like last year and if Jimbo has any juice we won't be able to recruit that well again this year. We have to hope that Herman can ducking evaluate talent like a boss and find the hidden gems. 

     

    Maryland’s true freshmen outplayed Texas in every shape, way and form. Their kids > Texas’ kids.

  7. Um first time, long time. 

    Live in Pennsylvania and stoked to be taking Mrs. Ace to her first Texas game. We bought cheap suite level tickets last night (damn parking is actually more expensive.) 

    I’ll be the guy in section 304 in a burnt orange 2005 title shirt on, wife in a burnt orange dress. 

    We are east Texas natives (but SFA grads), moved up here for jobs a few years ago. But burnt orange and Shiner run through our veins.   

    Weather should be ok, maybe a spotty shower but it shouldn’t cause much issues. Tons of rain today though so the RGIII Memorial Field might be* a shitshow.  

    Looking forward to kicking some turtle ass tmrw.

    * it will be, FedEx is a ginormous dump
