  1. well PSU has figured out their right side........and left side. this could be over quick.
  2. time for rest vs rust to be settled.
  3. yeah, to me the biggest loser today is Saban's credibility.
  4. smartest play I've seen all year.
  5. no roughing call, no FG. now we get to watch mich go 3 and out. Do refs help out 'bama again, after they get the ball back?
  6. what is funny to me is ESpn keeps showing the 'bama DC, like he is some mastermind or whatever. You could put me in a 'bama coaches outfit over there, and it wouldn't matter. Michigan isn't scoring vs anybody at this point. if ESPN had a clue they would show a picture of a struggling Michigan OC.
  7. This is some pretty ugly football. Deboer is on the hot seat if 'bama loses, correct?
  8. So, she was out of position and then a flag was thrown because she was run over? or what? Seems like the female ref things sucks.
  9. I heard them say that but didn't see it even on the replay. Did he really run over her?
  10. Yes! Like in Round Rock!
  11. Sanders seems like he kinda sucks as a QB...hm who would have predicted that? This is my first time seeing him...not impressed.
  12. I wondered if I was the only one who flashed back to GG against 'bama.

  14. okay, so we did. plenty of things I did not see. However, assuming we go against a better dual-threat QB...Gabriel?.... If we play to this level against them, and they are on top of their game, how many points do we give up? 31? 38?
  15. agree completely. it appears our D coordinator was afraid VY was walking out there and would run an 80 yard TD against us? Is that the choice our D coordinator is making? if our Coordinator is that worried about Cade, how about a spy? Can you have a spy with man-to-man? math? one spy, 4 rushers, that leaves 6 to cover the receivers. isn't 6 DBs and LBs enough to cover 4 receivers plus a tight end plus a RB? I know I must be oversimplifying this. We still have the best athletes in the country on our D, which is considered the #2 best D in the country and we sit there in this stupid, soft Zone like we don't have athletes who can run with and cover the opposing receivers. Up front, our 4 DL can beat any 5 OL to pressure the QB on a fairly regular basis, I believe. What am I missing?
  16. good, so from your memory, about far did Jerry run to catch Bo? I've wondered if someone could do one of those scientific explanations of how fast Jerry was running in mph, how far etc. and extrapolate a 40 time from that.
  17. Of course dude. I decided on his name as a handle because of the hit that knocked Bo Jackson out of the 1984 game in Austin and half the season, but more importantly, the best interception in college football history to that point, the int. against Auburn in Auburn in 1983. I don't know if we talked about DBU before Gray, but we definitely talked about DBU at some point years later and it was in large part because of Jerry Gray. The best factoid ever IMO is that ESPN deleted the 1984 Jerry Gray hit because of Bo's celebrity status? or famous 4.2 40 combine? Who knows but it's gone from the ESPN version. Nobody can accurately describe the play, but I will give it a shot. Gray is on the opposite side of the field as Bo is running and appears to be headed for a TD. Gray runs faster than Bo ever has across the field probably at least 70 yards, takes a perfect angle, and hits Bo so hard it either separated or broke his shoulder. Great stuff!
  18. Good grief! have been away from the computer, so just now getting to what I am sure you guys have covered in detail... 1. Why do we play this pussy-soft zone D, just stand there and watch the receivers run by us and then watch them catch the ball? Cade was very good, but he is not the best we will face? So we've got to have something ready as a change up? Maybe man to man? Maybe run with with the guy when he comes near you? My totally uninformed opinion is that it must be easier to teach/call a zone D than man to man...but you guys tell me. 2. Love the running, it is our best chance. I know QE probably drew some criticism here, but I loved his long ball and great catch. if QE could somehow do that twice a game....I know, too much to ask. 3. D proved again you don't go straight up against us on the goal line and expect to win. I'm glad Dabo and company didn't watch our video against Aggy. Overall, I feel like this was the worst pass D we have played in a long time and we still won by 14? Least comfortable 14 point win I remember. I expect #5 to have an all-world game after his poor performance yesterday. I told my dad during the game that what is really going to determine national champion is luck and injuries, especially luck with injuries, because these guys have never played this many D-1 games in a season. The freshmen might actually have an advantage because they played 15 if they went all of the way to state in Texas. Here's to getting our guys back for the next game, getting a big lead and letting them rest!

  20. Got an article delivered to me about South Garden Chinese on Fredericksburg Road. $8.75 gets you a very nice filling lunch, with your choice of soup, an egg roll, and choice of rice. I chose the chicken with broccoli. I am a cheapo, always drinking water with lemon, so this does the job for me. I went this afternoon, messed up and arrived after 4 p.m. so I had to choose the higher priced dinner menu. For $12.95, I got a tremendous sized platter of the strangest Beef and Broccoli I have ever had. Plenty of beef and broccoli of course, but a serious amount of sliced carrots mixed in as well. Super delicious, I just looked it up and it has 3.9 stars...how? Also, the highest quantity of sauce on a. beef and broccoli ever. I poured the leftover sauce along with the leftover rice, and some sweet and sour sauce back into the cup that contained the soup and ate the combo to finish the meal. Great service on the water refills. Now have the Tex Mex and this Chinese place in good rotation, hearty late lunch can be had for $11 plus tip. Don't really miss a burger at this point. Chinese joint is much healthier I believe.
  21. I just realized this, before yesterday I had never seen my Navy man hero Roger Staubach blessing the game balls by warming up throwing the balls before the game and somehow Navy pulls off the big upset. Does Roger do this every year or what? He is between my mom's age, 83 and my dad's age, 88. Can't believe he can still throw the ball. But it kind of makes sense. He was on the Ticket probably 10 years ago, they asked him how he stays in such great shape. He told them it was one simple rule. 'I break a sweat every day" he told them.
  22. gonna go under 2 years for this hire. Will he even travel to recruit, or just stay in Carolina? Can't see him doing the recruiting.
  23. No comments on the others, but Dusty is actually very good. Something good came out of OU, imagine that?
  24. If we're making predictions, put me in the camp that says Georgia is losing before the final, so we are done with them. I have been back and forth on this and it's just too much for GA at this point. They played what 7 overtimes last week, another one this week, and the high they are on is out-of-sight. They are going to hear how great they are for four+ weeks? They are coming down like a rock.
  25. I was born in the 1960s, did not see any of 60s action, but have a couple of comments: 1. My favorite memory watching football with my dad was when we were sitting in the living room yelling at the TV all game while losing to Alabama in the 1982 CB. We could FEEL the disgust coming from Robert Brewer as he called timeout and went to the sidelines. WE ALL truly genuinely knew 'bama was coming with the blitz and back then teams did not change calls after a timeout. Then the best call of the decade happened, with the QB draw. I believe this is in the top three calls of the 80s and 90s decades, up there with the 90+ yard pass by Major against OU and the Ricky run for the Heisman. I propose a new category, near legend. Brewer is near legend. If he doesn't call TO that call never happens. I remember only one game Brewer lost, a game against SMU, when SMU had that lucky pass that bounced off our DB and into a receiver's hands, resulting in about a 70 yard TD pass. I think Jitter Fields was on the field for that play and the infamous 1984 CB. Ponies were lucky, lucky that game. 2. Two QBs who could have completely changed the game, had the chemistry been there with wide receivers a. Rick McIvor. Rick had the strongest arm in Texas history. I saw him in person against the Ags one year in Austin. We were losing, Rick drops back, throws about a 60 yard pass in the air it hits the WR in the chest and falls to the ground. We lost the game. Rick had only one game when he somehow got lucky and put it all together, against Aggy in the 1983 game. Plenty of drops whenever Rick played. Did players not practice enough in the 80s? b. Simms. I remember one of those Holiday Bowl losses to Oregon or whomever, when Simms is throwing bullets to receivers in the end zone and they were dropping all of them. The excuse given was the receivers were freshmen. Obviously it improved to some extent, but all most people remember is the game against Colorado, the interception that knocked Cedric Benson and Mike Williams out of the game. I believe there was a fundamental difference that does not exist in today's game. It seems like QBs and WRs are much better at being on the same page, compared to then. I think with the coaching of today, a Simms type player develops much better and wins more games.
