Just back from Austin...

[Sun Tzu]

and saw the highlights.....

someone explain to me:

1) what the fux ND was doing on defense on 4th/9

2) how that was a legit ball spot - I know in the NFL not only would ball go where fumbled but game would be over

3) why isnt that a penalty on Bush pushing Leinhart?

PS Dont care what happened in that guy - the guy that should win the Heisman was in Austin.

 

[johnny wager]

i was wondering the same thing about bush pushing leinart. i thought that was a penalty.???

 

[Sun Tzu]

It is at any level. And though I havent been home long havent heard one person discuss it.

 

[baby arm]

It had to ne one of the strangest endings I have ever seen. Congrats to UT beating Colorado.

No question.

Anyone who suggests otherwise is . . . . . . . how should I put this . . . . . . ''DELUSIONAL''?

so Sun/Judge etc. etc.., as a handicapper and as a gambler what's the scoop?

how does one approach future games handicapping wise with these teams?

ill tell you this much, you just came back from the city that is going to be home to the national championship. january cannot come soon enough. monster 1H for young. yea they "cooled" the the 2H but, so what... that game was in hand and they have played 4Q's basically every game all season. USC will have NOTHING for the TX team speed - both sides... TX young will be a KILLER dimension against USC... plus, leinart and bush better get insurance before that game... one will lose his head and the other will suffer a theisman leg. bush will not get free rides into the secondary. TX linebackers are the best in the country. again, im predicting leinart with get a concussion in the 1H. im praying that both teams are undefeated going into that game AND healthy. TX ML (if there is a ML)...

btw, what the hell were you doing on 6th st. when HOU was playing STL in HOU? cmon, you were concerned about a UT loss, that aint it? my girl flew up here, to chicago for ND v. USC and to watch the Sox get into the world series... i just dropped her off at o'hare for her flight back to austin/bergstrom... we got everything but ND outright... we cashed but, we'd give the money back to have ND outright. that not only coming from me but, from a UT alum! now, we just need USC and UT to go undefeated... we'll be in CA for the rose bowl... and, the bet on TX will pay for that trip, commerce casino trips, rodeo drive trips and the layover in vegas on the way back...

the coroner better be on call for the rose bowl... UT is gunna be "taggin' an baggin'". time to shut mouths and end some pro careers...

those were the lamest two posts I have even seen on this board. you obviously didn't take home a degree from the 40 acres.

"that game was in hand and they have played 4Q's basically every game all season." - what does that mean? USC has? Texas has? Texas has not played 4 qtrs. except for the OSU game. every other game has been in hand and they have been able to go to the ground game and eat up clock. USC has? see arkansas game if that was what you were referring to.

"USC will have NOTHING for the TX team speed" - I won't even comment on this...last year's Orange Bowl should be referenced if you really believe that.

"TX linebackers are the best in the country" - this is by far the dumbest thing you typed. if you are a texas fan then you watched the OSU game...from the sounds of it, you may have even attended it. if you watched it on tv or were there, then think back to who was flying to Vince, Selvin and JC evertime they touched the ball...that would be the best linebacking crew in the country. quick, name the other starting Texas LB's besides Harris? that is what i thought.

also, your obsession with USC players getting injured is a bit scary...if they didn't knock Rhett "i won't slide" Bomar out of the game, why do you think they can get leinart out?

horns by 27 this weekend. hook 'em

Texas Tech?s defense has now allowed 21, 17, 31 and 20 points to Sam Houston State, Kansas, Nebraska and Kansas State respectively while they were able to shut down Florida International and Indiana State by holding them to 3 and 7 points. The 21 points scored by Sam Houston were the most scored all season by this Division 2A school, Kansas has now scored 3 points in each of their last two games, Nebraska?s 31 points were the most the Cornhuskers have put up this year and Kansas scored just below their average for the season which has so far been against a bunch of cupcakes.

Texas is averaging over 45 points per game and that included their 25-22 win over Ohio State which was the only game this season in which Vince Young played more than one series in the 4th quarter. Prior to last week?s game in which the Horns went with an all out passing game plan, Texas had the No. 2 ranked rushing game in the nation. Vince Young has now passed for 1,357 yards and 12 touchdowns and five interceptions and has run for 413 yards at 5.5 yards per carry and five more touchdowns.

Texas Tech?s passing game is scary good and after Saturday?s 643 yard performance, has now put up 2,461 yards but Nebraska and Kansas both held this team to less than five touchdowns and neither of those teams has a defense as well rounded or as deep as that of Texas. The Red raiders do not really even try to run the ball and have only 652 rushing yards this season.

Only Ohio State was able to score more than 17 points on the Longhorns and they are allowing an average of exactly 14 points per game. No quarterback has passed for more that 182 yards against the Texas secondary this season. Not Troy Smith, not Brad Smith and not Joel Klatt either. In fact, teams are averaging only 127.5 passing yards per game against Texas.
