  1. +1. I am no drummer, but I always enjoyed the feel and sound of Lynch's drumming, and it's one of the reasons I tend to gravitate toward TP's old stuff vs. his newer songs. I've read in many places about how good Ferrone is, and I certainly have no basis for disputing that. I bow to the experts who say he's really, really good. But Lynch had a certain swing that none of the other drummers associated with TP (Phil Jones, Ferrone, etc.) had.
  2. SIAP. Read somewhere that TP regretted not including this song on Long After Dark. I agree with Tom.
  3. Well, you wouldn't get into Texas these days with that horrendous comma usage in your first sentence, mister.
  4. We played a very clean game overall from a penalties and turnover standpoint.
  5. And it looked like Bolden got dinged late as well.
  6. This is just wrong. I can recall off the top of my head Wingo and Helm with drops. I'm pretty sure there were at least 1 or 2 other drops I'm forgetting at the moment. And while Ewers missed open receivers at time, there were also several plays in which receivers got no separation at all. Ewers didn't have a good game, IMO, but he was far from the only player on offense who was struggling.
  7. That's basically how I thought the game would go -- Texas would win but not cover (esp. when the line was at -17.5, which I felt was insane given that it's a longtime rivalry and the game was in Fayettenam against a team that can rise up occasionally and play well (e.g., the Tennessee game). That line corrected pretty quickly, but even at -12.5 I felt there was a very good chance Texas would not cover.
  8. McDonald did not cover himself in glory on that drive. Frankly, none of the safeties did.
  9. Yeah, that's a different topic. He definitely needs to play better than he did in the first half in order for this team to have a legit shot at a NC.
  10. It's one half of football on the road against a team that regards this game as its Super Bowl. It's not shocking that Texas isn't winning by 20+ points at halftime.
  11. It's always fun to read the overreactions in the game day thread.
  12. On the bright side, we played relatively clean in the first half. No TO's and only one penalty. Continue playing clean with a lead and the defense hitting on all 8, and chances are good.
  13. Nah, the punt took a huge hop off the turf. They were in position, but there was nothing they could really do given the bounce it took.
  14. That's true. They could probably run it down to about a minute before they punt. That second down play was a run all the way with the QB. I think they're just trying to get to h alftime.
  15. Pig now deep in their own territory with 2nd and long and Texas with only one TO. Pig gets 2nd half kickoff. Won't surprise me if Pig chooses to run out the clock.
  16. Nothing like a 21-yard net punt. Moore and Simmons combine nicely on first down, though.
  17. Nice looking drive derailed by pure stupidity.
  18. Just a fucking stupid decision. Throw the ball into the ground or into the bench.
  19. If you're referring to the third down play where the pig crowd wanted a flag on Barron earlier in the game, the receiver slipped on the play. Or are you referring to a different play?
