I have no idea.

Meanwhile another touchdown for the Horns.

[MC KAos]

we are playing really well! im still concerned about our D giving up big plays

[Chocolate Lab]

Not a UT fan, but they look really good IMO.

I love the SEC, but it's always good to see a Big 12 team go into one of their houses and kick them around.

Super-snap judgement based on way too little evidence -- Texas beats OU this year.

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

Another big play given up.

[TheCoolFan]

Big XII is wide open this year. A lot of good teams but no one really above and beyond better than the rest

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

This is like Madden. Horns are just scoring at will.

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

This is comical.

[TheCoolFan]

Vandy used to be the joke in the SEC but now it's Ole Miss and Kentucky Even Mizzou and A&M have better teams

seriously Mack Brown frustrates me. We have a chance to put over 70 on the board, and he sits on the ball. Give McCoy and the reserves a chance to get themselves a score....a chance to finish off that time consuming drive.

At any rate, great win.....Ash played very well, but he still needs to release the ball a tad earlier as to hit his WRs in stride. One good thing about his underthrows, he has great athletes who can adjust to the ball and make the plays to help him out.

I loved the balance by the offense tonight.

The defense needs to shore up their tackling, horrid tonight. Also, if we are going to play press coverage, we need to jam the WR at the line.......their recievers toasted us tonight when there was no reason for it. Still, I loved the pressure from our front 7 and we got a few INTs.

One more note....I miss Justin Tucker.

we have to, have to, have to get this tackling shored up. Two times in three games we've given up a long touchdown due to a missed tackle that took the next guy out of the play. Same on the special teams run, we have been pretty good except this one time so I don't think it should be a problem but it shouldn't have happened.

That said ole miss has some play makers and we got a good win but I don't expect to be able to count on three int's from WV and OU. As long as the tackling gets shored up, timing on those long throws gets worked on, and we get anthony fera back we should be alright. Can't wait to watch practice this week and see what we work on.

Also, get monroe more touches! he should have had half the touches daje got, he is a senior and a playmaker!

the game was won man, if we wanted 70 then we should make our field goal and bergeron should have scored and later robenson should have scored.

I don't mind stepping on the throttle but up by that much with 4 minutes left the TD needs to come on the ground or pass caught within a few yards of the LOS and it needs to be from 15 yards out or more.

CLF I just checked the old thread, why did you miss the start? they constantly scrolled on the bottom that the start of the game was on ESPN news and ESPN3?

[The30YardSlant]

Ole Miss is as awful as BCS conference teams get these days. Kansas would thump them.

I wasn't paying attention so I didn't see the bottom of the screen.

We don't have a single Cowboy game thread but one each week. The UT game thread would be the same. We do have some long lasting exceptions like the last book you read but by and large don't bump old threads.
