They are softer than the Domers....


LOL, yea right. Notre Lame got spanked again and is going nowhere while 4 people have left their program this month. I hate Notre Lame and feel like fat Charlie is getting everything he deserves.

It's over, what an upset. A week of upsets

#3 OU
#5 W. Virginia
#7 Texas

All will bear one in lost column.

#10 Rugters could join ranks of one loss.

They do not have as much talent as people think. Some of the talent they do have is young and inexperienced. Don't know why anyone expected them to be contenders this season even for just the Big 12 title.

Not aimed at you but it's funny...............when the exact same thing is used for the Domers, and it's true, it's a lame excuse. Like Weis can make gold out of bat guano......................:rolleyes:

I still find it stupid that in college football, unless you go undefeated, your season is considered a disappointment.

Right. But even so, I still think they are more talented than every team in the big 12 except OU. This talent should not be losing 41-21 at home to a team that is not as talented as them. It's really frustrating to watch the Pre-VY Texas Longhorns.

I hear you. I have heard the youth excuse for Notre Dame and I do think that plays a part in their demise. I think it is a good excuse for them not winning. I don't think it is enough of an excuse for the Irish to look absolutely horrible. There is a difference between losing and looking pathetic.

I don't think Texas has enough quality, experienced talent to be contenders, but they are good enough not to start out at 0-5. I figured Texas could potentially lose 4 games this year and was expecting at least 3 losses.

This is why I love pro football so much more after one loss you don't fell like the whole season is over.There's no excuse for Div-1 football not to have a playoff.It's all about the school's getting those big bowl game checks.

I agree that college football needs a playoff system. Even if they eventually go that direction, one loss is going to hurt lots of teams. There are just too many programs competing for the championship. There are 32 NFL team whose goal is a Superbowl win. There are what 119 or 120 colleges trying to win it all. Cut that number in half of real D1A(or whatever they are calling it) that have a real shot. That is a lot of schools. The chances are real that 1 loss can hurt a team especially if that single loss keeps them from winning their own conference.

I didn't see the last one, but the first three ints weren't really anything he did bad.


The first was a fluke int by the NG. The second he got nailed right when he threw it and wasn't able to follow through. The third was tipped. DIdn't see the 4th, but by then I'm sure the whole offense was pressing.


Sweed, who some CLUELESS members here felt was one of the top WRs in the nation before the season started, certainly didn't help him with a couple of drops (maybe more, I didn't see the whole game).

The radio guys doing the post game here in Austin are saying that Texas lost the game. They don't feel that K-State did anything to beat them. I don't get that. The K-State defense pressured McCoy all game long. The Texas defense put no pressure on Freeman. That was the difference in the game in my opinion. Take away the two special teams returns and K-State still out scored Texas.

Sweed is so overated it's rediculous, when Texas still had a chance in this one he got alligator arms.
