Didn’t someone catch Derka arguing with one of his own socks for a couple of pages on the other site last year?

From what I see the best analogy would be to compare Sam to a young gifted golfer who starts receiving professional instruction/coaching. Before you know it the young guy has his head so wrapped up in what he was instructed to do. That he subconsciously fights the very mechanics that made him a good player to begin with. He becomes mechanical and deliberate. And in the process suffers from confidence issues and mental lapses that never occurred before he stated receiving professional coaching. For the simple fact he is being asked to do something that though not technically incorrect. Doesn’t apply to that one specific individual. Basically Sam is playing with a tight ass. You don’t even have to watch him play. Just watch him on the sidelines. His eyes constantly swinging right to left, which is by the way a common indicator of an individual attempting to deal with inner conflict. You can tell you he is trying to hard to accomplish the task at hand, instead of just letting it happen organically. I have seen similar shit like this for 40 years in youth tennis, golf, baseball and football when the kid makes the jump to the collegiate level. Great coaching can see this, and can adjust their input accordingly. Bad coaching believe it to be the pupil.

I get little to no satisfaction out of that. I really don’t. If anything it sadly reminds me that once again, that we continue to fail at getting these types of players signed and in uniform at Texas.

Jesus, there are some dumb fucks who post on this site. Take it for what it was. Jackson shows he is an incompetent coach playing Taylor in front of Baker. The rosters of KC and Cleveland are radically different. KC if I had to guess is probably a better team position by position. But there is no denying that Cleveland’s entire offense picked it up a couple of steps the second Baker came in. They as a group already knew who should be starting, they just couldn’t do shit about it. Its the fucking NFL. Between Patrick and Baker, they have made an otherwise boring match up far more entertaining. Why are some of you arguing who is better at the position? You feel slighted in some way? You can’t fault either of them for their college years. If anything give props to Baker. It took some brass to leave Tech. And you can’t blame Patrick for taking and keeping the Tech job. He sure as fuck wasn’t going to give it to Baker. The decision to leave a program seldom works out. Yet in Bakers case it did. He’s a fucking kid who made some some fucking dumb ass choices off the field, I can understand that. If you want to argue about something. Argue about how fucking difficult it is to win the Big12 without one of these type of guys. And those world class semipro bought and paid for defenses of the SEC look that way in part because the QB play in that league really isn’t very good. I have no investment in either of them, but that KC Browns match up is going to have some great storylines if Jackson’s dumb ass doesn’t give the job back to Tyrod. His comment that he has to “watch the film” makes me wonder how the fuck he ever got the fucking job.

TCU - 38 Texas - 28

Without a great QB it is really tough to compete in this day and age. Can you win games? Of course, but if it’s championships you are chasing great coaching will never be the same as having a Vince Young type player in uniform. Frost, Jimbo, Herman and all the rest will always look a lot smarter if they have that special player. Christ, fucking Chizik won a title! A guy who’s career was a few points over .500 until Cam showed up.

Lulz..

A fucking lot if you are the dick bag shitting on today’s pop artists as not good enough to do a dumb ass half time show.

Fuck aggy.................................just trying to get this thread back on track.

Fuck yeh! Im old as fuck, but I enjoyed the hell out of seeing that shit performed live years ago in a shitty club off of Lawrenceville highway. Along with Roses, as I had a bitch sister in law at the time named Caroline (bitch).... I also can’t fucking stand fake music snobs. Especially lying fuckers who talk down an artist to their friends like they are Lester Bangs. And then you discover they have the entire Neil Diamond catalog on their fucking phone tagged as “special songs for my pussy”....

They wilted after the failed 4th and 1 in the second quarter. Look, a big win was needed, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. But that is a bad, bad SC team. Their young QB showed promise, and given time he will get even better. But he had little help from neither the running game nor his coaching staff. The Texas defensive game plan was pretty simple. Give up the 5 and 6 yard plays to shut down any big play on the perimeter. The place the biggest plays happen in the college game. It was sitting there most of the night. The only thing required was some patience by the SC defensive staff. So either the SC brain trust have falling totally in love with the young kids arm strength, and believed it was only a matter of time before he hit a big one. Or they failed to recognize that the center of the field would be productive. I’m going with some of the former, and a shit load of the latter. You can bet your ass TCU (and all of the big 12 teams for that matter) won’t ignore the center of the field for very long. Should Texas deploy a similar defense. Though I seriously doubt they will.

Perhaps, but they are a Big10 team. And that alone qualifies as a big win for a school looking for any win.

Both my boys played at SEC schools. This was tongue in cheek I hope?

Gundy is one of those coaches that never seems to get his due. Maybe because he is not the self promoter that most of the egocentric D1 coaches are. He has quietly developed his teams on a very consistent basis year after year. Not to mention he always finds “his” quarterback. All that being said, I’m sure there are times when he thinks back to that night in Ames. It was a perfect storm for the upset. With the tragedy less then 48 hours old, night game, etc. I believe most feel that had they won that night. Gundy could very well have won it all that year.

I was pleasantly surprised that it has already been replayed multiple times down here in Georgia on ESPNUHD (whatever the hell that is). The only negative? Is their disclaimer that “due to time constraints we move ahead in the action”. But all the important plays are there, and all in all I have enjoyed rewatching it in HD.

TCU should have beaten Bucknutz. They made mistakes they normally don’t make, and had more then their share of questionable calls go against them. They played really tight, and I’m going to attribute that to all the national attention and bright lights that were focused on them. As a team it surprised them and they simply choked. Dont expect that when they show up at Texas. They have history with us, and will not get caught twice with the deer in the headlights look. Texas wins this game and all of us are really going to struggle to try to understand what the fuck really happened against Maryland.

Honestly, when was the last time Ark-Kansas was actually relevant? First team I can think of was Holtz’s 77 team that used Roland Sales to run ou into the ground of the Orange Bowl.....their only loss that year..you guessed it Texas. Arkansas is a second their team, and has always been one. They have been in the SEC since, what 92? And have yet to win the conference. In fairness on occasion some talent came out of the Ft Smith area, and a few other places here and there. But mostly the cream of the crop would cut and run to get the fuck out of that shit hole.

Actually after rewatching the game my biggest fear going forward is on the defensive side of the ball. Why SC didn’t go after that huge soft spot in the center of our zone was incredibly stupid. This has been an open area in all three games. Maryland took advantage of it, as did Tulsa. It is almost like SC didn’t watch film? I can’t help but think Orlando’s strategy is feeling that the opposing team doesn’t have the patience to simply take the 5 or 6 yards we are willing to give and move the chains?

Look at ol Kirk with the roid neck...

SC is actually a pretty decent team. They have some stand out players, a few that will play on Sunday. But, Helton is not a good football coach. He made some really bad calls that made me shake my head. One of the more egregious was going for the touchdown on 4th and goal in the 2nd quarter. Had he simply kicked the field goal he would have answered the Texas score in less then two minutes later. That was a crucial error, and would have been huge for them going forward had they simply kicked the field goal. At that point a 4 point lead, along with a good drive for his young QB to hang his hat on that would have paid dividends later in the quarter. And more importantly would not have allowed Texas to double down on the huge emotional edge of stopping your team at the goal line right after scoring their own TD. At that point if the game it wasn’t necessary to sell out. Basic football with a fucking freshman QB on the road tells you to take the points, settle your team down and shift momentum. SC doesn’t have a strong enough team that can afford to waste a scoring opportunity. As they were neither the more talented or physical team on the field. As not only did they fail to score, they gave Texas a huge shot of momentum. Helton showed his impatience on that play call. And that he is coaching scared. As far as I’m concerned Texas won the game at that exact moment.

He is going to be getting far more attention from opposing teams during pregame preparation going forward.

Helton lost his team with this loss. When they lost the lead you could see it on their sideline. His days are numbered. Which why this win was so important. I was worried that could happen to us. It showed some grit getting off the canvas and hammering out a convincing win.

Is there a rule our defense can’t use its hands to tackle? What’s with the shoulder pad punch...basic tackling guys.

I always liked those covers. Friend and I drove up from North Carolina three times just to watch Knights undefeated Indiana season. They were the shit in the mid 70’s.

So much for all of the internet experts who claimed Murray didn’t have an arm. Hell, he throws harder then Mayfield, and it’s probably a wash on who is more accurate.
