    You know all these questions (and more) would be asked if Joe Biden were a Republican.

    If you think the press is the least bit balanced, you should also wonder why they aren't asking these questions about Obama's questioning his competence, his family benefitting from his office, his ties with White Supremacists, whether he will refuse to concede, breaking norms, opposing travel bans and this:


    "...Mr. Biden, you finished near the bottom of your class at Syracuse Law School, you rely heavily on teleprompters in public appearances and yet you still frequently stumble over the most basic facts, asserting for example that 150 million Americans had died of gun violence or that 200 million Americans had died of COVID-19. How will you prove to the American people that you are cognitively capable of handling the demands of the world’s most demanding office?"

    It isn’t even about admitting we were the worst team. They were begging to be knocked out. We let them get saved by the bell and they got to clear their head before the next round. You end it right there because they were demoralized and we were on fire. Use your best 2pt play, roll the dice, and light a fire into this team. Don’t play it safe and let overtime create variables that are now out of your control. Even with something as simple as the OT coin flip. Being on defense first gives you a pretty big advantage IMO. Why would you want to chance something like that if you had it in your control with no time on the clock.

    And yet some of you say we have lousy execution, so you bet it all on one play?

    FOWTBS. Not a Herman fan, but going for 2 makes no sense for a coach, unless he HAS to. You don’t make it, it was CLEARLY a mistake. Because in retrospect it’s easy to say what was “right”

    Yeah.  Its a gamble you don't need to take.  We were slicing up their defense and they had stalled out.  OT was in our favor.   We lost because our defense didn't make plays in OT and our offense didn't make plays in the last two OTs.

    The reviews were weird but this is the first game in a while where I feel like the calls and no calls balanced out. We got some of each, as did they. 

    Except for replay.  Replay official seemed like someone being paid by gamblers.

    There is literally no one in this fan base who would have been upset with going for two either at the end of regulation or in the second overtime.

    Instead, we are now convinced even more that our coach is gutless and has a knack for putting players in a position to fail.

    He is not a good head football coach. This job is too big for him.

    I would have bet on Sam pulling through in OT and kicking.  We just aren't good with 4th and 3s.

    I don’t even know what to say. That is so incredibly depressing. But justifies my decision to turn the game off in the 1st qtr. As I said, watching this team is a joyless,  sterile, miserable at worst experience. 

    Hope CDC sees this. If Herman has truly lost the team, he has to be fired.

     

    You screwed up.  You should have watched the 2nd quarter, 4th quarter and first 3 OTs.

    It was disappointing, but there was a lot of joy before the very end.

    Don't care what happens to the Big 12 but Texas needs to leave it.  It's a huge pile of shit.  The refs suck something fierce, the other teams suck, there's nothing in it for Texas.  They're not going to win it--it's all they can do not to trip over their own feet. Throw in awful refs and we're doomed.  I'd at least rather play in the Big, Pac or ACC.  But f'k the Big 12.  

    If you think our refs are bad, you've never seen the Pac 12 refs or the Michigan (excuse me, Big 10) or Alabama (excuse me, SEC) refs.  SEC refs might work for us.  They seem to make an effort to make sure the weaker teams lose.

    I wasn't thinking specifically performance just this year (if that were true I'd just rank 'em by their standings, which is almost the way it is anyway), I'm thinking more in terms of overall capability, but yeah, this season factors in a bit, but even if OU finally has a sucky year (which they probably will now, overall I'd drop him a few spots say in December.  But just in terms of my overall feeling about their abilities, I guess I'm looking at that.  Just MO, I had nothing better to do on a Sunday morning.

    This year alone and Riley is #10.  He's blown two 4th quarter leads.  And all he can do is throw temper tantrums on the sidelines.

    Been saying we need to hire Big 12 guys specifically at DC. The Big 12 is unique from every other conference. Chris Ash was a comfort hire and clearly is lost on how to defend big 12 offenses.
     

    At this point I don’t even know why we recruit elite DBs anymore. Year after year they look completely lost. Getting torched by 3 star WRs consistently, can’t tackle for shit, have zero ball awareness, always seem a step slow. We seem to only get interceptions when the other QB fucks up. When I watch LSU, tOSU, etc they seem to get an Int or two per game by reading the QBs eyes and jumping a route or winning a one on one against a wr. We never do that. I’m tired of watching this shit. 

    Speaking of speed.  Why is it that our running backs and wide receivers get run down by defensive backs?  I don't know that I have seen a Texas WR run away from a DB since the Shipleys.

    Can not, under any circumstances,  leave the middle of the field wide open. I can not believe thats a formation we use, but we do, they lined up at least twice like that. 

    I couldn't believe that either.  Especially with a running QB.  I think it was more than twice.  The first time I was thinking.  HOW can we do THAT!!!????  The last time it cost a TD.

    The first two weeks we would line up with 2 corners on 3 receivers and a safety 20 yards back or 1 on 2 receivers with the safety.  It was an easy 7 yard gain every play and the possibility to break a big one.  Didn't notice it so much this past week.

    Doesn't matter if you can't tackle if you can't even get your hands on them.

    I don't know about best regular season game. So much of it was sloppy and full of mistakes. It just had a crazy ending.

    Didn't Vince Young win a crazy game against Okie St on Halloween one year? That one was probably better.

    We had like 3 in a row.  One year we were down 28-9 at half and won 47-28.  Another year was similar.  Then there was VY's 2nd greatest performance.  Down 35-7 with 2 minutes left in first half.  Drove the field to cut it to 35-14.  Final score 56-35.  49 straight points.

    I'd like to think the entire board helped reverse jinx it. Some dude in the gamethread said he went out to cut the yard. I changed the channel and took my burnt orange polo off. I think Brisket was watching the Hallmark channel...

    Job well done guys.

    I quit drinking.  (but just for 3:41 and OT).
