Preview?

 

Home opener Texas comes out strong then fizzles in the second half

Surly question for the weekly press conference: What classic novel or movie would best describe the performance this week vs Tulsa?

Answer? (from the 1992 classic White Men Can't Jump)

Gloria Clemente: [to Billy] Sometimes when you win, you really lose, and sometimes when you lose, you really win, and sometimes when you win or lose, you actually tie, and sometimes when you tie, you actually win or lose. Winning or losing is all one organic mechanism, from which one extracts what one needs.

Pics:

 

Texas defeats Tulsa 28-21 and moves to 1-1. NEXT:

Allen Iverson says "We're Talking About Tulsa??" 😨😨😨😨😨😨

 

[mdmost 43,001]

You look at USC over there and it's just all about the tradition of their band being a focal point at the end of the song "Tusk" by Fleetwood Mac. 

[ConferenceRoom 6,141]

Press conferences are hard.

[williemackgarza 1,826]

Pre-Cliff notes:
Recite stats, Its real hard to win, still trying to hard to be perfect, 1st water bottle done, squeezing to hard, too tight outta the half, sam looked excellent, cohesiveness, playing for your brothers, really proud how the kids finished, i answer to cdc and prez fenves, second water bottle done, book of the week reference.. and were done

[South Austin 52,460]

I'm thinking we'll get Catcher in The Rye today.

[Greg Davis Apologist 213]

Hey coach, what advice would you give to an up-and-coming head coach from a mid-major program to successfully run a major program like Texas?

God that song is rad as hell.

Texas football on the other hand...

[lemonandaturd 4,285]

All I want to know is if Ingram is healthy.  Piss on the rest of the noise.

Along with losing the game last year while witnessing it in person, I was almost as bitter that I didn't realize they play Tusk after the game is over. Didn't hear it till already out of the Coliseum. 

[Pig Bellmont 8,712]

“Style points don’t matter”

He will take responsibility for third quarter failures. 

Talk about USC.

Opening line:

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”

[bigup2dahorns 3,343]

As of now, no Vegas line for the USC game likely due to the hand injury to starting QB JT Daniels and his unknown status for the game.

[MirrOlure 14,760]

TCU game kickoff set for 3:30 PM CDT....so is that a new time slot for Big XII games this year?  I think this gruntles me somewhat.

"You can't just play at home against a 2-win AAC team and not expect to be in a dogfight.  Really proud of how this team fought and responded to adversity."

So what are words or phrases for Drinking Game for Press Conference today?

1) Played well... 2) Positive Signs... 3)Great Effort... 4) Sam Improved... 5)Tough Opponent... 6) Jet Sweep...  7)Happy with Freshmen... 8)Close Group... 9)Fewer Mistakes... 10) Saw Some Good Signs

Just finished watching Tulsa 1st Half and both Watson & Ingram look good if Sam would quit hanging on during Zone Read plays.

Still don't know what the HELL happened to Offense in 3rd quarter and Orlando's experiment with Roach at LB is not working.  Lack of Pass Rush and leadership from Sr's/Jr's/Captains is really causing inconsistent play from this Team.

Newer players on OL, RB and Safety along with LJH are only players performing well...... Nothing from Veteran Players..... smh

Potential bingo squares:

"celebrate winning"

"physical"

"players are pressing, thinking too much"

"culture"

"we know our way works"

--screwing/unscrewing water bottle cap more than three times

--reporter asks a softball question

--being a dick to a reporter, even for asking a softball question

--mentions CDC or Fenves

"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth."

You’re probably right. Someone besides FCB should counter with The Cat in the Hat recommendation.

I wanna start today by reading the first chapter of mice and men so all of the uneducated fans will understand better.

It was a cold, dark night....

[Rockethorn1978 6,073]

I wish a reporter would get up and quote him the art of war:

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Sounds like we are the last sentence.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.   USC's run defense is shit - so of course our best RB is injured.

Time to step up Tre Watson.
