  1. Took hime 1.5 quarters so those were real cramps not LSU "cramps" then.
  2. Wichita St game posted on YouTube. Still no BYU or Stanford but if you're going through withdrawals it's something.
  3. Sounds like you gave 100% effort and went 1-0 vs #2.
  4. Subscribed. I will say their CBs are pretty good but that's not much help in the run game. It may allow them to play 1 high safety and get more run support in the box without getting totally torched. With the bye week coming it may be time to run Sam a bit more to multiply their problems in run defense.
  5. We always add a few pages with every re-ranking of the existing commits - especially when the 9.95ers figure out that the Texas staff has picked up players that are taking off, again. I expect Fillinger to be a consensus 4-star well before NSD1 as one example. Those numbers can go higher when aggy has a good meltdown over it and starts peddling wild conspiracy theories.
  6. My font setting makes it difficult to distinguish between pom and porn. I kinda like it.
  7. Thanks Ewok for always thinking about TEXAS. Can't escape it even in the NFL. I guess Kyler's PR people forgot to tell him not to stand next to 5'9" Marquis Brown where people could tell he was slightly shorter than that.
  8. I know, right? Actually saw one called in the UCLA game. Had to go back to the box scores and was shocked by what I found since nobody actually watched them play S Dakota.
  9. Nice. It will be awesome to have the RB hiding behind OUR OL this time...
  10. It's a completely idiotic system. 5 year lookback means we're still dragging 2+ years of Charlie and the transition year around with us in this absurd "rating" system. I haven't looked at this thread in a while because the sheer stupidity of it makes my BP go up.
  11. It's actually happening this year. In the game against UCLA, referee Brandon Cruse and Co. flagged OU 3 times for offensive holding this weekend. The prior week, Scott Campell's crew actually called four offensive holding penalties on the Sooners - all in the 1st Q. Only one called in the opener against UH but I'm pretty sure that was an AAC crew. I'm hoping this is part of a trend and the Big XII officials will call those POS cheaters regularly when we play them.
  12. Natty is a shitty product with an overwhelmingly white trash cult following. It's actually perfect for aggy.
  13. 42 total? Is that correct? Did someone not notice they gave up 21 to Tulsa and 36 to OR State?
  14. It just menstruates more (including the cramps).
  15. Bujcevski has looked pretty solid this year. 43.0 average and 39.2 net. The offense has been so effective they've only had to call on him 8 times with 4 fair catches called 2 punts returned for 11 yds. 3 kicks inside the 20 and 1 touchback. The Punter has only had 3 kicks shorter than 40 yards: a 39 yd FC, at 37 yd FC to pin La Tech at their 9 and a 37 yarder downed at the LSU 11. He's doing everything you can reasonably ask for at the position. For the first 6 games last season Bujcevski punted for less than 40 yards average in EVERY contest. The initial fan reaction makes sense. After that, he hit it for 40+ in 7 of the next 8 games. Unfortunately that one was OU in the CCG. The Punter showed significant improvement during the 2018 season and looks to be good and consistently so at this point.
  16. We lost to the higher ranked team so A&M is the best one loss team in America. /aggy
  17. Needs to be a law like Germany has with beer. Water, grain and hops. If it has anything else in it, it can't be called beer. Same thing with beans and chili.
  18. They didn't run much outside zone - at least not in the critical early phase of the game. It's a perfectly understandable mistake since the announcers mis-identified the blocking scheme a couple of times. The outside was available because the edge kept getting caved in - mostly on the side manned by the undersized and injured Hager which furthers the confusion. Gundy does know how to ID and exploit a defensive weakness. I don't see either Roach or Graham as that kind of speed bump. Watch the OL and the RB. Linemen take one big step playside then attack upfield. RB is aiming for the playside OG then makes his cut. That's classic inside zone. The inability to hold the edge just enabled OSU to bounce the play off tackle to the front side. They did run stretch twice in the decisive first 5 drives. Once at Hager for over 15 yds and once at Omenihu for negative yardage. They built enough of a lead to win but it was mostly by exploiting the absence of Boyd and Davis in the passing game than anything on the ground. Outside zone was a minor part of that winning formula.
  19. Texas needs a run stopper to shut down that 4th interior gap. Gary Johnson provided that and it looks like Mitchell is flashing the potential to do so. That frees up the other ILB to pursue the ball like an old school Will LB.
  20. In nearly all of their big runs, the OSU OL were able to get to the 2nd level and pick off multiple LBs to give a clear lane to the RB. I think Coburn demands a full double team. He's going to make it difficult for the guard to combo then hit an ILB without giving up penetration that can blow up an inside run - which is most of their ground arsenal. Even if they are successful single blocking both DEs, that only leaves one O-Lineman than can attack the LBs. Orlando has played the Buck LB off the LOS against the spread quite a bit and a 3-3 stack creates tough angles for blockers looking to seal off pursuit at the 2nd level. It's a lot harder to block the BLB there than if he gets tangled up with an OT or TE at the LOS. Also, OSU isn't a team that runs a lot of toss sweep or stretch where you need a C-gap defender from the snap. They mostly rely on inside zone concepts (esp. tite and split zone) and power/counter. I would have said dime but with the injuries to Overshown and BJ Foster I think Texas has to play Nickel with Chris Brown near the LOS where he can set the edge against the run. There isn't a 2nd DB available with that ability to blow up blocks and hammer the RB. Setting up in a cover 2 shell then rotating one safety down to the 2nd level is going to create that free hitter in the box against the run. Doing it late in the clock puts it on the QB to ID the coverage quickly, then make the right read and throw. I'd love for that extra guy to be BJ but that's not in the cards.
