  1. Dude- We have some serious PTSD. The amount of detail all of us remember about that game is astounding. I'm old. I frequently get flustered and call my wife with my daughter's name. I can't remember what I did last week. But I remember that game like I watched it last night. I even remember where I was and what I did directly after(took a walk around the block to cool down). The fact that all @lilMAC25 had to say is "Taafe woulda caught it" and everyone here immediately knew the exact play he was talking about is Crazy!
  2. Game was decent. Quinn hits the TE and he fumbles. Comes back and throws an on target pass on a dig, db breaks on it, receiver tries to basket catch it which allows the db to reach around from behind him and get his hands on it. Deflected up in the air and intercepted. Cincy has all their weapons back, so they are scoring at will. Rookie QB. Down a few scores. Trying to make plays. That's all it was. He was fine when it wasn't obvious passing situations. It's easy to play defense when you are 3 scores up and know he has to throw.
  3. 100%. Taafe doesn't drop that and we are in the title game! What a terrible night that was.
  4. What happened in 2010 is we were thin at DT. I can't remember all the circumstances as to why it happened. Anyway, there was a stretch of games where we had to play Alex Okafor at DT, and at 260 he just couldn't hold up inside. It was a vicious circle where we couldn't score to force teams to throw so they just ran power and counter right at him all game until one popped. Also, you guys gotta remember Mack was a meddler. He wanted the recruits he wanted, so at times Boom's hands were tied. Anywho, people gotta remember he was only here for 3 years. Barely long enough to get rolling.
  5. First, the 09 defense was better than the 08 one. I feel like some of you guys are young so let us olds regale you with tales of Muschamp's prowess as a defensive coach. Lamar Houston was a slow RB/LB from Colorado when he came to Texas. We tried him off the edge but when Boom came he recognized his power, put a lil weight on him and slid him inside to 3 tech where he would be a disruptor. Henry Melton came to Texas as a 240lb goal line RB and we used him as such until Boom came and flipped him to his side of the ball and got him to the league as a big DE who could slide inside. Sergio Kindle was a 5 star LB who couldn't play traditional LB because he was stupid. Boom put him at Jack end where he would go on to decapitate many a QB in his career. Earl Thomas was a undersized 3 star recruit from Orange Texas who was never supposed to play here. He had decent speed but was undersized at 5'9-10. Boom got him and turned him into the best safety in the country, and next to Thomas was Michael Taafe..I mean Blake Gideon, the Michael Taafe before Michael Taafe. People see the finished product with all these NFL players and don't realize that it was Boom's eye for talent that created that roster. They weren't all bunch of 5 stars. Guys were lost with no real role on the team. You had some real dummies like Chykie and Sergio.
