Dude, losing a comeback game in which you weren't favored to win isn't humiliating. Rout 66 is humiliating, Miami Cotton bowl is humiliating, some of those mid 00s oklahoma games were humiliating....this just stinks.

Huh it's almost like we are implementing a radical defensive system change with players that aren't the best fit for that system...who were recruited and coached by idiots. Heck, the players were in the position to make the tackle at the line plenty of times and blew it. So yeah missed tackles leading to big gains repeatedly tend to wear down a defense.

Seriously? This staff schemed to get their players open and exploit OU weaknesses. We got worn down and out athleted by a better more experienced team.

They also saw coaches that could coach their team in a game that experience/talent/system fit we had no business almost winning.

God forbid you sometimes just lose to better athletes.....

Yes the mature response of some blowhard dumb ass that thinks Texas should win just because they walked out on the field. Here's something you might know had you ever played football. Play calls and schemes by the coaches can only do so much. Yes the Texas coaches schemed us to our lead but then halftime happened. You know what halftime adjustments typically really are, the favored team adjusting to whatever the underdog did in the 1st half that they weren't expecting. It's hard as an underdog to make halftime adjustments because you already sprang the surprise. Yes we had a big lead....in the 1st quarter. We were down by 21 to Tech a year ago in the 4th quarter. There was a ton of football left. We scored on big plays and off of turnovers. Very little evidence of us physically dominating OU.... You know why? Because they have players who fit their scheme and have been in it for years. They have better athletes who fit their offense and defense. They kicked our ass on the lines even when we were winning big. Scheming by the coaches is the reason this game wasn't 54-17 OU.

Fuck all ya'll. The team played its ass off. The coaches coached their ass off. It's stinks losing to OU, but the coaches literally schemed their way to almost winning that game. Our 2 biggest playmaker are a true freshman wide receiver and a sophomore running back. We have an oline that is held together by bailing wire. And a new defense that is making due with I'll fitting parts from the previous regime. Again it sucks to lose this one, but the team and coaches showed a hell of a lot to like.

If he's coming to the game today he isn't out the door or being runoff yet.

Who is worked up? I admitted I don't know pks defense. My main point I don't recall a 210 lb nickel before. It was just an observation.

Sorry chief, you google Anthony Cook Texas Longhorns, this is what comes up top of the list on google courtesy of Wikipedia. Anthony Cook Height: 6′ 3″ Weight: 192 lbs Current team: Texas Longhorns football (#11 / Defensive back) Sorry I saw the info I was looking for an went with it.

Hell after the shafting that Jimbo is giving him, I hope for his sake that Calzada transfers out.

Excuse me then...6'1" 191 lbs according to Texassports as opposed to his wikipedia page which was the 1st result that came up. So he is still 20lbs lighter than Perkins which was more my point. If Perkins has the ability to do it and wants to do it fine. Semantics aside, it just sounds wierd to have a 210 lb nickel back, but PK's defense isn't the most traditional in many ways so if that's what Perk wants and will get him to sign then do it.

I get that, but how often do we actually blitz with Cook? Usually he is in coverage? Like I said, I am not even going to claim a cursory level of knowledge of PK's D yet, so I am not exactly speaking from any form of knowledge base here.

So we're planning on playing the 6'2" 210 lb lineback at the same position as our 6'3" 193 lb nickel back? I fully admit to not understanding PK's defense remotely yet.....but I would think Perkins would do better at Brocks spot or even Overshown's where you apparently get to clean up everything.

So does no one have Luicci's rambling odyssey on what happened against MSU and how the ag are going to pull one out against bama?

Their running back use makes me think Herman is a consultant...... I really don't get why in the 4th quarter of their games Spiller is suddenly stuck on the sidelines...I get it, Achane is more of a homerun threat, but Spiller is much better at getting tough yards.

The sad thing regarding Calzada is that there are things he does well.....he just has an arrogant leprechaun calling plays that won't tailor the offense to his strengths or minimize his weaknesses. Instead Jimbo just leaves him out there twisting in the wind trying to run an offense that he isn't equipped to. I mean, if we could have a halfway functional offense(hey it was better than what they are currently rolling out in the station) with Case McCoy, Tyronne Swoopes, or Jerrod Heard while being coached by such offensive stalwarts as Shawn Watson, Jay Norvell, Joe Wickline(lol), and Tom Herman.....an offensive genius like the leprechaun should have no worries.

Nah I enjoyed beating pat at his own brand of football. But once their D was gased midway through the 3rd and our D was making them earn it. That 12 point lead was pretty dang safe.

Damn near got beat? The game wasn't seriously in doubt since midway through the 3rd quarter. Short of us self distructing, the game was well in hand. I support going for it in 3rd and 4th and goal.

They fit their mo. Good pass d. Bad against the run. Stout inside the 10. As a great coach once said "Ol ugly is better than ol nothing."

Defense needs to come out and put their foot on fat pat's throat.

WHITTINGTON!!!

BS. The qb falls on his butt right before he gets hit and its a penalty.....

Well I can say that about most things---burgers, deconstructed drinks, reimagined food, whatever crap the new york times tried to put in guacamole, New Mexico Enchiladas, fresh mex in general.......
