  1. Just now, WBT said:

    Yeah, spearing was always on the books but almost never called.  But the spearing rule wasn't about protecting the player being hit, it was to protect the hitter from paralyzing himself.

    That's still the reason that forcible contact with the crown of the helmet is illegal.

  2. Just now, FizzleFish said:

    a lot of these targeting calls are because the defender leads with the crown. When are coaches going to teach them to lead with their face Mask?

    They do, but they obviously need to do a better job. "See what you hit" has been taught for decades. Hitting with the crown of your helmet has been illegal for decades, but it used to be called spearing.

  5. Its.not just a sleep issue. How drunk will fans be by the late kickoffs?  I don't even drink. I'm looking out for y'alls livers.  Then hung over Sunday so you skip church, end up going to hell.  It's a whole vicious cycle. 

    You're a doofus if you think the Pac-12 would stick us in the 9 Central slot more than maybe once every 2-3 years.

    What would you like us to do with that information?

    He doesn't know, he's an idiot. Here's the info on the statewide races, for those who actually care.

    Slaughter did not have a DEM opponent.

    That's fair.  I expected below average OL play and hoped for merely average.  On those measures the Texas OL looks a bit above average.  I'm not sure sack rate reflects just how much time our QBs are getting in the pocket when opponents do not blitz.

    Agree that our pass blocking is above average. Our run blocking, though, is well below average. I didn't know what the hell I was looking at when Watson burst through ISU's line untouched on Saturday.

    If you look at the issues in the trenches coming into the season on both sides of the ball it's hard to argue that this team isn't overachieving.  The OL in particular is playing far better than I expected in August. 

    The reason it's correct to say we're overachieving is because the OL actually hasn't played well. We are 77th in the nation in total rushing per attempt and #45 in adjusted sack rate. Ehlinger and our wide receivers have allowed us to succeed despite mediocre (at best) offensive line play. Yes we are way ahead of the absolutely atrocious OL play from recent years, but it's good news when you realize that the OL still has a lot of room for improvement.

    talking about Hager

    Oklahoma doesn't need bulletin board material against Texas. Texas doesn't need bulletin board material against Oklahoma. It's an actual rivalry. Stop worrying about stupid stuff.

    Just look at the Oklahoma response to this ridiculousness. They don't want us to apologize because an apology doesn't do jack shit to make them feel better about losing to us this year.

  10. Sometimes you just have to make a statement. I think that’s what the troops and all the hoopla and attention and fretting the caravan was getting. Yes we get it they do it every year. They probably do it every year because they get away with it and nobody makes a big deal of it because there are bigger fish to fry.
    Maybe next year they will think twice and will head down to Brazil or something instead, because enough is enough.
    I wish there was solid business behind the actions instead of just wasteful political haymaking, but hopefully something can be gained from the waste. Some troops got trained, some illegals think twice next year, etc
    Yes, now maybe next time these people will think twice about following the legal process outlined in United States law per the international treaties and agreements to which the USA is a signatory.

    Great take.

  11. The Big 12 limits football travel squads to 70, so that definitely presents an obstacle this week.

    Oh wait, there's an exception for one game.

    So assuming we haven't used that exception yet we name up to 70 juniors, sophomores, and freshmen and then call all the seniors exceptions.
