Shipley

 

[kmp77]

"In high school, Shipley, the all time Texas High School receiver, ran a 10.41 100 meter and a 4.37 40."

Yeah, that speed will do Man, what do we have to do to draft this dude. No way he goes super high, he'll fall enough for us to get him. But what do we have to give up.

 

[Avaj]

Wow what a run!! Nice job Colt for blocking

 

[Mavs Man]

Not sure what everyone was worried about. They do this about four times every year where a lesser conference opponent takes a big 2nd quarter lead, and then Texas wakes up after halftime and scores 3 or 4 consecutive 3rd quarter touchdowns to blow it away.

Not saying I like it or agree with it, just saying what I see.

 

[Draegerman]

Yep, no doubt about it. Texas has been repeatedly this season, a second half team.

 

[MC KAos]

No coach does less with more talent then Mack Brown. Say what you want about Stoops he at least gets his team TO the big game.


On second thought Wade Phillips is right up there with Mack.

what????? have you seen any of the big games OU has played recently? texas hasnt lost a bowl game in over 5 years! cant say the same about little game bob

 

[MC KAos]

ya, at least its not the other way around! but if we are fortunate/good enough to make it to a national championship game with a florida/alabama we need to at least keep it close with them for the first half

That game was awesome..........it was my first ever trip to DK Royal Stadium. I went with my sis. We froze our butts off but we had a blast. We sat up against the wall, 7th row, facing Bevo.

Greg Davis and his offense can go to Hell. I am so sick of the passes at the LOS. I am so sick of the lack of a running game. Give me the I with Cody Johnson at FB and have Whittaker, McGee, and Newton all split carries. Have Buckner as the TE, with Shipley and Williams split out wide. Have Colt under Center.

Of course, I personally feel that the Horns were purposely running a vanilla offense.....saving all the bells and whistles for the OU game.

It was great seeing 2 STs and 1 Defensive TD. It was great seeing the guy who I want as our future WR once again have a dominant game.....and this on National TV.

The UT Defense was awesome tonight. Other than the opening drive, Colorado did diddly squat the rest of the evening. If not for Colt's fumble, I doubt the Buffs score more than that initial TD the rest of the game.

HOOK EM HORNS

One more thing.........Austin people scare the living daylights out of me with the way they drive.....I mean they just weave in and out of traffic and just force their way into the most minimal of spaces with basically no warning.

burma that has nothing to do with Mack Brown.....well except for the fact that he doesn't run up the score with his starters deep into the 4th quarter the way Stoops does. When the game is well in hand, he puts the backups in. Stoops will leave in the starters basically the entire game, even if up by 60+.

also, it isn't Mack's fault that the national media continues to have a major hard-on for OU football, even though they have proven time and again to disappear in January.....meanwhile, Texas just wins their bowl games.

I think the media is still holding on to that one game where OU destroyed Texas and Q Griff scored 6 TDs.....but that was so long ago. Since, Mack Brown has closed the decade with a 4-6 record against Stoops, and it was once 1-5. If UT wins next Saturday, Brown will be 6-6 vs OU, and 5-6 vs Stoops (4-1 in the last 5 meetings.)

Been MIA a bunch this year.

Are you on drugs, pal??

That "MIA" defense has given up 65 points in 5 games (13.0 ppg), allowed 234.0 yards per game... only one opposing offense has gained over 300 yards in a game, that being the high-powered Texas Tech offense, which gained 414 yards... this means their other 4 opponents have averaged 189.0 yards per game...

And the last 2 games, the defense has been positively dominant, holding UTEP and Colorado to a COMBINED 184 yards and 14 points...

More stats for you-- Horns opponents have had 146 carries in those 5 games (29.2 per game), for 235 yards (47.0 ypg), which works out to a lofty 1.6 yards per carry average... only one opponent has gained 100 yards rushing on them, Louisiana-Monroe gained 101 on 35 carries... on the other end of the scale, Tech had -6 yards rushing on 18 carries...

When it comes to pass defense, only 1 opponent has thrown for 200 yards or more in a game, or completed 50 per cent of its passes or more (Tech)... they gained 420 yards passing, but threw the ball 62 times to get there... the other 4 opponents completed 55 of 129 passes (42.6 per cent), for 515 yards (128.8 ypg)... so all combined, opponents have completed 101 of 191 passes (52.9 per cent), with 8 ints, for 915 yards (183.0 yards per game)...

This is, in fact, the best Horns defense I've seen in a long time... in fact, the only real weakness I see with Texas this year is their running game, and their punter, who scares the crap out of me every time he drops back to kick... their defense is excellent, their pass offense is dangerous (especially Shipley, who has 47 catches in 5 games, and Dan Buckner, who has 29), and their return game is lethal (DJ Monroe has returned 2 kickoffs for TDs, Shipley has 2 punt return TDs)...

Truth is, this looks like a better team than the 05 National Champions, right now... I'm psyched to see them face the meat of their schedule, and truly believe that the OU game will be their toughest test all season-- Oklahoma State, Kansas and Missouri don't impress me all that much (especially not with Dez Bryant suspended)...

Missouri struggled to beat Bowling Green at home, and lost to the only ranked team they've played so far (Nebraska)... OSU lost to Houston at home, giving up 45 points (suggesting they have a hard time with a good passing attack), and barely beat A&M yesterday... Kansas is currently unbeaten, but have been pushed to the limits the last 2 weeks in home wins against Southern Miss and Iowa State, both mediocre 3-3 clubs... all 3 are good teams, but the Horns are better... but when it comes to OU, the talent level is pretty similar... I think the difference will be the Horns' defense against the Sooners' shaky offensive line...

At least, I hope that will be the difference, LOL... anyway, if the Horns get out of the Red River Rivalry with a W, I can easily see them going unbeaten this year...

Dear Dallas Cowboys,

Please draft Jordan Shipley.

Thank You,

kmp77

Amen...

No coach does less with more talent then Mack Brown. Say what you want about Stoops he at least gets his team TO the big game.

Guess you missed that Texas-USC Rose Bowl...

Or the 8 seasons (and counting) with 10 wins or more (while playing in arguably the toughest conference in the nation)... or the 13 seasons (and counting) with 9 wins or more... or the 19 winning seasons in a row (and counting)... or the 17 consecutive bowl game appearances (and counting)...

Yeah, the guy can't coach a lick...

 

[silverbear]

Longhorn HOMERS! UNITE

Guess you don't think they're a good team...

 

[silverbear]

Shipley is a baadddddddddddddddddddddddddddd mannnnnnnnnnn!!!!!

What's his 40yd speed anyway?!?!

4.47, according to NFL Draft Scout, but they also have him with a best of 4.37... bet you a nickel come the combine, he puts up a 4.4 flat...

They certainly haven't been a first half team this year... wonder why that is??

 

[burmafrd]

easy to tell a texas homer. Yeah sure the media is the reason Texas has been in ONE NC GAME. WHile OU has been in what 5? Of course OU usually loses but at least they get there. Come on Biggems show me a program that gets top 5 talent every year and has done so for the last 10 years and has not made it to a NC game? Mack has only been able to get Texas to ONE.
Despite all that talent.

That's Eagles fan logic right there, "At least we got there"

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

OU has been to more, that's true but I don't think that anybody would question the fact that they have tanked in vertually every bowl game, never mind championship shot, they have gotten in the last several years. At some point, you have to admit the obvious.

It doesnt take a Texas homer to see that OU gets more national media love than Texas does.....even when Texas beats OU. I am not a blind homer, I am just a homer. If OU deserves the the spotlight, I say give it to them....and for the first half of this decade, they did. However, in the past 5 years, Texas has deserved it more, except the year that OU beat Texas.

The Media treats Stoops like a flippin Demi-God, even though his teams seem to fail more often than not in big games over the last 5 years.....and disrespect Mack Brown, when all he has done is win those big games more often than not.

burma, we all know you hate the Horns. So while I may be a homer, you are clearly a hater. So if you are trying to disvalue my argument, yours is just as disvalued.

As far as last year goes....while I dont like it, OU deserved to go, cause of the tiebreaker rules that the Big 12 has. Had they used the rules that I wanted, scoring differential between the 3 teams involved, OU still would have gone. We beat Tech, we go on to the Big 12 Championship and then on to play Florida.....and I firmly believe, that we beat Florida by a FG.

HOOK EM

 

[Biggems]

it was funny, there was this one Buffalo fan close to us that was all loud and rowdy for the entire first half. Needless to say, the 2nd half, he was as quiet as a mouse.:laugh2:
