Texas Longhorns Football Thread

you forgot about WVU and Baylor

this 5 week stretch is ridiculous

Big 12 has no weak link...minus kansas.

Your just finding things to complain about. It's just like with the Cowboys. No one can ever be happy. Cowboys beat the Giants on the road people complain. Longhorns win both games they've played by 20 + points and you complain.

Wyoming lost at home to Toledo. New Mexico may be the worst team in the country.

Not the worst team in the country but they are among the contenders.

Nice win but honestly, I don't take much away from this game. UNM is not good.

I never said they were good teams I just find it hilarious that you're *****ing about two blowout victories.

 

[MC KAos]

might be optimistic, but i think we will go 2-1 in our next three, our defense is pretty damn good!

yeah they are but they came out pretty flat against NM and we cant do that against west virginia or they will be up by 14 before you know it

20 points is solid but not a blowout. It's not about the score it's about the way they played, it was too close for too long.

take the championship game in in '09, after colt went out we kept it close till the end and the score is not an accurate reflection of how we played.

look at the college landscape this week. Arkansas, Wisconsin, Nebraska, okie st all lost. all it takes is a few things to go the other teams way and they get ahead and it gets down to the end of the game and they are right there with you and they usually want it just a little bit more because they are the little guy and they were supposed to lose and now they have a shot.

put it this way, our mediocre is supposed to be a lot better than those two teams pretty good, but our mediocre was only marginally better than Wyoming's pretty good for three quarters and marginally better than NM for two quarters

ya, they didnt cover the spread, im not impressed in college football unless they a team at least covers the spread!

 

[MC KAos]

i guess i should say, specifically, that we didnt cover vs wyoming, and that i think we will beat ole miss and OSU, then lose (pretty badly) to WVU

 

[Cowboys&LakersFan]

We'll go 3-0 and then people will still complain. :laugh2:

I agree. I was not impressed with Florida St. since they couldn't cover the 69 1/2 point spread over Savannah State. :laugh2:

Why in hell do they even schedule a game like that? This is why I'm not that big of a college football fan and basically only follow two teams and generally not even that closely.

 

[GcwRyan]

Woo, Good game!

Honestly, all these HBCU's need to stop playing FBS schools. Every last one of them have been blowouts.

oh, they probably would have scored 100 points if they didnt stop the game because of weather in the third quarter! and thats after they decided at halftime to have a running clock.

ill be extremely surprised if we beat WVU, we would need a MONSTER game from our D and one of our RBs

I don't know how OK St got that team on their schedule, but FSU had almost no choice after an opponent had to back out very late following a conference change. I think it was actually West Virginia--so they sure weren't originally trying to play another lightweight.

There is no benefit at all by scheduling a non-FBS school...you get no credit for it. It may even hurt them (and OSU) in BCS computer calcs.
But Savanna State sure racked up the money these last two weeks.

BTW, Florida St was up 35 nothing very early. The game got called off in the 3rd quarter due to lighting (basically a mercy rule).
