Just double checked -- we fucking won

[MaybeACoordinator 8,350]

As my dad has always said, nothin' good ever happens on the Caprock. Tonight something good did happen. We won. To read this board you'd think Coach Bro crushed us 70-2 while infecting the Texas skies with a cloud of Axe Body Spray. 

[Neonmoon 38,130]

My dad used to call Tech the “ Harvard of the Caprock”, sarcastically of course. 

[RabidM 2,755]

The defense is scaring the fuck out of everyone.  And now we have massive injuries on top of it.  

[mdmost 43,851]

This is the game that Texas loses the last 4 years. I'll take it. Our defense flat out sucks. That's life. They'll get some turnovers but we finally have an offense that can win these games. 

[Tex Pete 21,394]

This is a game that will make us better. We hung in to the end, lots of inexperienced guys got reps because of the injuries, and we ultimately won. It’s a game that can build confidence for our players.

We made plenty of mistakes, but we overcame them to win. 

[Tex Pete 21,394]

And mdmost is right: we would have lost this game last year. We’re improving.

[Hagbard Celine 11,160]

Welp, we did lose this game last year.

[Beau Vine 55,824]

Agreed.  A huge chunk of this board has gone full retard.

We apparently would have won by 30 points if we had competent officiating and Lowell Galindo calling the game.

So were OU and K State.

It's not always pretty, but we're 7-3 and not 5-5.  We have depth issues and injuries and we're winning games anyway.

I really thought this was gonna go in the L column even before the season started. So glad to get the fuck out of Lubbock with a win.

Sorry, wasn’t trying to piss on the team, or the win.

Just a fan, who knows Texas could, maybe should be 10-0........but instead, 7-3.

Feels like, over the course of the recent past, the fandom has just become satisfied with a fairly mediocre record......I guess as opposed to a .500 or below.

I get it, and again apologize for being a pessimistic-type fan.

It's all good, man. I feel you. We're all dealing with the decade of shitty football. Good news is it looks to be getting better.

[Helobious 9,755]

Didn't get a chance to watch the 2nd half. Stopped checking the box score after it was 24-10, figured the score would end up about 38-17 or something. Really shocked when I checked after it was over, sounds like I missed a great damn finish. Not bitching, a win is a win and that's what matters. 

Duffy ending up with 444 yards passing was most shocking. I saw him play in a game earlier this year and he was nothing short of terrible throwing the ball. He even looked bad in the first half. What the fuck happened? Defensive fuckery or has he just found his groove as a passer now that he has more experience? Honest question.

We chose to play soft coverage and allow catches underneath all night long. We don’t tackle very well and they gained a lot of yards on underneath completions. And a lot of inexperienced guys were playing for us most of the 4th Q. 

[Juke_Em 47]

This season is fine. We're on our way to a 9-3 season, taking care of business against a weak year in the conference. And it will be even weaker next year...2019-2020 will be our time. Defense isn't great but they get turnovers and with the offense, we can put up the points needed to win in the Big 12, which wasn't the case in the Charlie Strong Era

Who cares what they think. That was a win at night vs tortilla and D battery chuckers. Those assholes rolled my 70 year old father up on the hood of a Tahoe 5 years ago and drove off. Fuck tech.

Most of our games are close. We could be 10-0. Could be 3-7 also.  I feel like we are just about right at 7-3 or 8-2.  I don't think we could hang with many real top 10 teams that aren't named OU. This year is showing positive growth, but the defense is a huge concern.

limited pressure with 3 man line.  soft coverage with a bunch of backups.  let him run around too much.  AND we kept jumping off sides giving him free throws deep.

We've got a chance to win 11, no?

1) We beat ISU & Kansas. +2 = 9-3
2) West Virginia beats OU in Deliverancetown, so WVU, OU, & UT are all 7-2 in the Big 12, but OU will have losses to WVU & UT, so OU finishes 3rd.
3) We get our revenge by beating the Hillbillies in Dallas. +1 = 10-3
4) We win our bowl game. +1 = 11-3

Am I getting that tie-breaker for the CCG correct?

[pacman 7,491]

At the end of the day, the team is winning games.

7-3, with a win over OU, and developing a great QB. 

In the transition from 5-7 to 7-5, with a bowl game win, 7-3 is real progress.

There is still a mental edge this team is missing, along with more talented depth, and that likely is the final transition for the team to be a national contender.

Hard to say if this staff can get them there but they are making progress this year.

noting the obvious defensive collapse isn't something to be mocked.  Seek perfection in process, don't ignore the negative. 

We want Texas to be an elite program in the stratosphere of Bama and Clemson. So we MUST talk about the negative.

The tiebreaker is 1) If OU won head to head, OU goes, 2) If OU lost head to head, but has higher ranking, OU goes, 3) If OU lost head to head, and has lower ranking, a 3 judge panel appointed by Bob Stoops decides who goes.

This is where I'm at. I don't know if Herman will become a championship-caliber coach (he's certainly not one right now), but the way he's doing things, whenever he reaches his ceiling as a coach here the program will be notably better than when he found it.

The only legit top ten team not named OU this year is Bama. We could hang with any of the rest.

i dont know if he's gonna win a championship, but he's definitely the type of coach where 8-4 is the absolute worst case scenario and 10-2 is probably the norm.

No.  Surlyites are pro-vagina.  Vaginal topics are good.  Now, sandy, and/or dry, vaginal topics are bad.  Wet, juicy, tasty, vagina.  Good.

Strong Vaginal Control is a skill and a gift.  Upright cowgirl, sitting on a couch, with a firm "grip" and the trained ability to rock the hips rapidly while keeping the upper torso stationary.  Strong, to extremely strong.

There is not a god damn thing that scares me about any team from the big ten. That conference is complete trash.

Bama and Clemson are in their own group. Everyone else is beatable/interchangeable.... and with that said Bama hasn’t played a team capable of offense this year.

[Sgt Hulk 14,331]

We have accepted and are now content that 40 year olds named Cornelius and 3rd string walk on recievers can trot against this defense. Throw for 1000 yards 8 tds and rush for an additional 4 and be content with it. After all. Who needs defense. I applaud those who continue to be pissed that this team can’t close out anyone and routinely gives up 3 tds in the 4th qtr every game when the back ups should be seeing reps.   But we are winning
