  1. I wonder when TTU decided to change their colors to pink and grey... CU just closed them out.
  2. My 'aged poorly' message aged poorly. Nice game by Dart.
  3. I've got Ole Miss today against UGA. Dart > Beck.
  4. If you need a nap after our game, Clemson vs VT is on.
  5. So sorry to hear this. Know that God has a plan for us! Prayers to Colt for a speedy recovery and all the fam to stay strong for him.
  6. Hoping Choice is working with the RB room this week on blocking. Our o-line will hold their own, but if the RB can't at least get a nudge onto a LB coming free on a blitz, it could be a long night.
  7. Hard to believe just 3 years ago we lost to 0U, 0SU, Baylor, ISU, Kansas and WVU all in a row. The transformation is incredible and I believe the Standard has been defined and the team will rise to it this week after falling to a very strong UGA team last week. Vandy are scrappy, but I think we outman them this week and match their culture with our own. QE bounces back and has a good week (although I do have some concerns about a lingering injury). I do wish Bond was available, but we have enough weapons to overcome this on offense. Our D will travel and we will win this game. Texas 49, Vandy 14.
  8. Have watched a few Vandy games this year and the offense just seems so 'backyard' with Pavia running the show. I'd have Hill spying him the whole game with likely a second. He keep plays alive until the DBs break down and then he finds the open guy... OR he takes off without hesitation. Our DBs will be some of the best he's faced this year and I don't think he's going to hold up. I also think his OL will tire before the end of the 3rd. They're a REALLY scrappy team, following their leader. That said, I think we take them to the woodshed and give other teams a blueprint on how they COULD beat Pavia if they had our defense.
  9. The announcers said the call likely got corrected due to the time it was taking to get the bottles off the field giving the booth an opportunity to review. I'm not condoning the behavior in any way, but it did have an impact on the outcome it would seem. You reprimand and possibly frame the refs for making such an egregiously bad call that incited a fan section to throw bottles. Again, not condoning the behavior, it was an embarrassment on the biggest stage (almost as bad as our offense), but the refs had their hand in it.
  10. No surprises there. UGA has been hit pretty hard, but won't accept any excuses after this game, as we have been as well.
  11. Whew! I started three different 'Nah-ah' responses as I read your post, then got to the end and thought, 'We're the same, you and me!' Gerry is spot on. If both teams play their best football (and I genuinely hope they do), Texas wins by double digits. With Georgia's extra-curricular activities, injuries, etc., I truly believe our ceiling is considerably higher than theirs. Having trolled a few UGA sites this week, their fan base feels the same in many cases. Their team won't have given up, but their fans are seemingly conceding the game. Crazy times!
  12. Texas 42 - UGA 17 QE has a career day and a Heisman moment or two that ultimately get him to New York, but not the trophy. The defense solidifies their #1 rank, but give up a TD late in junk time making the score look a little closer than it was. Smart continues his effusive praise of Sark in the post-game presser trying to save a little dignity after his team gets Kirb-Stomped.
  13. Very happy for this young man! Hope they let him eat!
  14. Sad for DW and the D will miss him. Heal up and come back stronger next year.
  15. BYU is playing good football... for BYU. Combine that with they don't have a ranked team on their remaining schedule and they could actually go undefeated in the regular season. They're my B12 CG against Iowa Steak.
  16. Just a quick note on a specific play: At 11:13 in the 2nd qtr, Hawkins rolls right after being flushed out by Burke. Burke doesn't give up on the play, attempting to chase Hawkins down after he sheds the block. He realizes he isn't going to be able to wrap him up, so he dives and throws his arm into the backside of Hawkins so hard you can hear the slap. To Hawkins' credit he didn't go down, but I guarantee you he felt it and woke up this morning with a bruise the size of Big Tex! Seemingly everyone on this team is bought in and playing hard through the whistle.
  17. I feel like we're going to get to the end of the season undefeated and people will be saying we aren't that good because Michigan wasn't the same team (defending Ntl Champs), 0u is in a down year, Georgia wasn't 'Georgia', atm just sucks, etc. I don't care what league you're in, our defense is playing lights out. Every team will have pieces missing (we're down 4 RBs..) this time of year. It's not our job to keep them healthy. If we come in healthier than the other team, it's another mark of excellence for our program. Our S&C staff and our depth of roster is part of what makes this a championship-caliber team.
  18. You're not wrong, but we can only play what's in front of us, and we have dominated what we've played against. If we beat Gorgia next week, that should quell the talk about not having played anyone yet.
  19. Oregon seems to have made this a 'defense optional' game.
  20. The Saban Mystique has left Bama. Respect the program, but they are not the same. Feel like they may go through their own Post-Mack era if they don't get on track soon.
  21. In this game, and based on how bad OUs offense has been this year, I'm deferring. I've got confidence in our defense to get us the ball right back after kickoff and then we get it to start the second half. Other games this year, give me the ball first, but in this one, I don't see it as a risk to give it them just to give it back to us.
  22. Vandy man crying his eyes out. Bless him. I'd pretend I'm tougher than that, but I may have shed a little tear when we beat Bama on their home field by double-digits.
  23. That's all she wrote, folks!!!! Holy Vanderbilt, Batman!!!
