  1. yes! thx.. so great, things look really good to buy tickets to the Jerryworld game.
  2. what? Somebody post CT.
  3. Wrt our players experience, I would think a substantial % of our players have experience playing in Jerryworld in high school playoff games. A plus because of the distraction of the huge screen. I don't think our team has played there, no? Other than that the major plus is our guys have experience playing in Dallas, which means the routine could be basically the same as playing OU...same bus trip, etc. Here is hoping if we get to the Arlington game the organizers allow us to stay in Austin and have a week of practice, instead of spending a week in Arlington. What are you gonna do in Arlington? Go to Six Flags in January? nope. Maybe compromise and arrive in Arlington one extra night to make appearances. This is a job, not playtime. If I were a betting man and/or speculator, I would try to get tickets to the Jerryworld game. Other random thoughts; I don't think the GA backup QB who beat us has ever been hit as hard as he was yesterday at the end. Timing is everything. Hit him that hard early 3rd quarter and it's a totally different game. I can bet he will be slightly hesitant running the middle of the field his next game. More importantly we are still going to need Arch. I can feel it, not quite as strong as 2009 season when Colt went down against Alabama, but I can feel it. That year I absolutely knew we were going to need GG. Mack earned all of the hate that year for refusing to play GG in competitive situations when he had the chance. This is almost like a small second season, kind of reminds me of the NFL back in the day when the Cowboys needed a 2nd stringer QB to win some playoff games and more like the NY Giants when Rutledge came in for the injured Phil Simms and won the Super Bowl.
  4. Also, there used to be an argument that the 1981 defense was actually a better D than 1983, but I think they ended up #2 in the country. I am going strictly from memory. That team was not undefeated, at 9-1-1, and the entire team was stained by a loss in which they did not "show up". The team got a bit cocky I would imagine and looked like they didn't want to be there against Arkansas, in Arkansas. I don't even remember the score it was so bad.
  5. Incorrect. We wasted the best D in Texas football history in 1983. That was the #1 D in the country and is somewhat similar to this year. That year there was one game in which the D outscored our own Offense, against TCU, when the D turned the ball over and ran back two TOs for TDs, The offense scored one TD all game and we won 21-14 I believe. In the 1984 Cotton Bowl, our star kicker, a Freshman named Ward kicked 3 out of 5 FG attempts to give us 9 points. Georgia scored after the famous dropped punt by Craig Curry in the final four minutes and a couple of plays later Georgia scored a TD on a sweep that all Texas fans say they were guilting of holding but it wasn't called. 10-9 Georgia denied us a perfect season. We didn't know the gravity of the game until that night when Nebraska lost to Miami in the Orange Bowl, 31-30. That was the famous game when Nebraska could have tied the game with an extra point and won the NC, but Osborne showed tremendous guts by going for two. The pass was incomplete, and Miami won the game. If either of Jeff Ward's missed kicks in the CB were good, or Curry simply stays away from the punt, we would have another National Championship. If Edwin Simmons had been born with legs more or less equal in length he would not have been injured after the Oklahoma game and we would have had a RB who could hit the hole quicker than anybody else, and we would have had a very good running attack. If Fred Akers had given Rob Moerschell a serious chance at QB in the 1984 CB almost all Texas fans believe we would have scored a TD on one of his drives, because Georgia had prepared extensively for Rick McIvor, because Rick had the game of his life in the 45-13 route of Aggy, throwing I believe 4 TD passes. Rick had a golden arm and despite not starting much in college was drafted into the NFL. Btw, that Texas D had at about 12 players drafted into the NFL. I distinctly remember one backup getting drafted, a DB.
  6. Somehow I feel less devastated than I would imagine. SEC exposed for reffing like the big12 for the entire game. Ewers totally exposed. Someone more educated than I am tell me, was the slant really open the entire game? And we threw it one time? The unit I am most disappointed in is the OL. I really thought they would show up better than they did. With a decent kicker we win. With some luck on the Georgia fumbles they recovered we win. So Georgia has two weeks off to hear how great they are? I wouldn't be surprised to see them lose their next game. We still have a small chance to see them one more time, in the NC game.
  7. ST can redeem themselves....after holding GA on third down we block the FG and run it back for a TD...game over.
  8. Bad news for us. #1 I was completely wrong about that injury and #2 our history against backup QBs is not the greatest. We have no tape on this guy.
  9. Gotta go all the way back to Barkley's comment years ago..."SEC, if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying" SEC is sure as hell cheatin for the Dogs.
  10. Quite correct. Never played. Seen plenty of hits. Expect him to be back.
  11. My bad. did not see that. Was busy stressing waiting for the 15 yard PF call to bail out GA.
  12. I don't think the analysts understand. Beck fell on his off shoulder, not his throwing shoulder. He should be fine.
  13. Sark needs to go ballistic on the refs, just one time early in the 2nd half. That should get the message across. Take the 15 yard penalty, Sark, you have nothing to lose.
  14. half over unless refs call a PF on us because Beck is down.
  15. I think our O is head-fucked because they know refs are not giving Georgia an equal playing field. Our O knows they have to play perfect, so they press. The only way to rectify this situation IMO is to run the ball down their throats and score a TD right before half.
  16. is this OSU level referee fuckere?
  17. No doubt this reminds me of Big12 reffing. W/hen do we get a neutral set of refs?
  18. I thought Kirby had a foot on the field.
  19. If QE has to pass this entire drive and we score, he has over 200 yards of passing in the 1st quarter, and with our D, we take an insurmountable lead.
  20. Again it's us against the world...refs!
  21. refs! Are these Big 12 refs?
  22. VY and Colt, last time they were on a Texas sideline at the same time was January 2006!!! Bodes well for us.
  23. I thought screen pass and so did Georgia.
