Preview?

Terrible start, whacky game, big comeback falls short, season expectations discussion . . .

Horns lose to OSU 38-35 and move to 6-2 overall. Back home on Saturday vs WVU:

Beating osu is really really hard

[bigup2dahorns 3343]

Current Vegas line shows Texas favored by 2 1/2 points

[Xcalibur 546]

WVU cheer seems to have some talent.

It's the constant running from ground fires.

You look at West Virginia over there and it's just all about the tradition of them having the worst teeth in America because they drink nothing but Mountain Dew.

FTFY.

I met some West Virginia fans at the Maryland game, of all places.  They were good people with quality teeth.  They hated OU.

[Brock Sampson 289]

West Virginia has great moonshine.

The best thing to come from Strong's tenure are these weekly posts. 

[vtaenz 601]

West Virginia game won't matter if we don't have a pass rush. It will be bad.

[RoyalBevo21 767]

Losing 7 of the last 9 to Okie pokie is unacceptable. 

[MirrOlure 14760]

 

6 day window for next weekend @Tech.  Anyway to rule out any of the time slots?

 

 

[mdmost 43001]

If both Texas and Tech win, we go night slot. If only one wins, I'd imagine Bedlam gets the night spot.

Well the the guys responsible for 5 of 7 were fired, so not much more you can do at this point.

[Brock Sampson 289]

Coach gonna miss the first quarter for being late to the press conference?

[BigBenBamboozle 1952]

It'll be such a luxury when Herman stops overthinking every aspect of his coaching and stops Mensa-ing himself. 

[bigup2dahorns 3343]

Here we go

[Coelenterate Fuccboi 13091]

He missed the first two last game.

Hager is day to day with injury. Jamison also day to day. Roach might be able to start practice again this week.

They went into the game with a firm plan to hold out LJH for the first series and Boyd/Davis for the quarter. No wavering on that.

Herman has done a pretty good job with the psychology of this fragile head case team this year. Or at least I think he has. I expect them to bounce back next week.

They are still headcases who find ways to lose but they have shown at least a little resilience after the Maryland debacle and getting demolished against Okie State in the first half. So I guess credit to Herman for adjusting his coaching to match his team's weaknesses.

Now it would be nicer if we didn't have games like Maryland and Oklahoma State. We will see if he can achieve that in the future.

No, they weren't.  You made them look good.

[Valmy77 13226]

Nothing joking about that. That stadium is a hazard.

[bigup2dahorns 3343]

Q about E Acho comments after the game . . .

A: Herman talked to the team about it and said if you want to shut up any critics you need to go out and play better. Learning moment.

It bothers me a bit that Herman might not be aware of his own pattern in this area. I hope he was just coach-speaking there...
