  1. I didn't get to watch the whole game, but I don't remember thinking there were structural issues with the defense like we saw with Orlando that resulted in wide open running lanes or receivers running free in the secondary. I thought the secondary provided pretty good coverage and just got beat. That happens. I'll be more concerned if we keep seeing our linebackers getting torched without adjusting. Basically, it didn't look like the design of the defense was flawed. Which hopefully means it can be fixed with better execution and adjusting our coverage to protect the linebackers more.
  2. If we're bringing back painful memories, why not add the Oilers' collapse against Buffalo.
  3. The defense hasn't gotten enough love from the game. I'm scarred from last year, but the defense looked really organized. Even the true freshman seemed to know what they were supposed to do. Last year, our starters didn't know what they were doing for chunks for time. And we tackled well. I expected more sloppiness given it was the first game, no spring practice, etc. UTEP isn't a good team, but we've struggled in the past against bad offenses. Last year there were a few completions a game where a receiver caught a pass with no defender within 10 yards of them or defenders didn't understand their assignment. We looked competent.
  4. Barry Sanders approves of this message.
  5. I assume you are excluding all things aggy. Otherwise this wouldn't make the top 100.
  6. I live in Houston and didn't know Houston Baptist had a football team.
  7. I forget where I saw it, but Suh's sack total was comparable to Texas' and Alabama's totals that year. He was within a sack or two of both the national champion and the runner up. Of course, the 38 or so sacks he had in the Big 12 championship may have skewed his numbers. Either way, his season was ridiculous.
  8. Most years I really want one team to lose, but I don't hate either of these teams.
  9. Saban probably has 4 analysts just assessing the turf each game.
  10. Wait, are we talking about porn? I'm pretty sure I've seen this movie.
  11. I was thinking more along the lines of refinery explosion.
  12. I noticed several years ago that ~80% of the douchebags I know are from the Dallas area.
  13. Soooooo.... they are terrible and we should win convincingly?
  14. I'm still amazed LSU hired Saban after one good season at MSU. He was two games over .500 his first 4 years and then went 9-2.
  15. When did John Bolton and Wilford Brimley have a love child?
  16. Didn't folks say that about Bama last year?
  17. BON was good when Peter Bean was writing. Probably the best Texas football blog at the time. This was when Barking Carnival was still Recruiticosm. Then Wescott Eberts became the lead writer and ... he's an idiot. It hasn't been worth reading for years.
  18. This feels like one of those games where the score isn't totally lopsided, but the outcome will never be in doubt. I expect a 14 point LSU win, but I'm hoping for a 52-10 type game.
  19. Apparently, no and yes. Or both - he's Schrodinger's DC. Or a quantum DC and there is a probability that he is and isn't.
  20. Didn't Jerry Sandusky go to prison for that?
  21. When in doubt, hire Auburn's DC. This really isn't that complicated.
  22. Harsin: Is there anything I should know? You have electricity? Running water? Ark St.: We're in Arkansas. Harsin: Close enough, I accept!
  23. Didn't Clay Jennings come in and torpedo our secondary? There was some sort of Diaz/Akina-level disconnect there.
