lol thats about 70 % of the fans here.

cowboys ....win,..... lots of td's, lots of passing yds. long runs , sacks, are what they like.
I don't dislike that but Collinsworth summed it up for me, that reminded me of some of those old BAL-PIT games when both played defense.

And some said the HOU fans wouldn't care about his game, I'd say they cared.

The difference is those Balt-Pitt games usually had playoff implications and both had great enough defenses to win Super Bowls.

This was more of a rivalry game for mediocre/ dormant teams which is a good game without any more meaning that bragging rights in the state. I guess this is what we’ve been reduced to. Lol

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. That was really ugly for both teams.
Because both teams suck and both teams are poorly coached. Actually, both teams have a ton of talent..........COACHING.

Yeah, I know, some are going to be pissed, quote all the stats and the score and overlook the beauty of what that was. That was football!

That was the best example of real football I have seen this season and yes, it wasn't pretty, it's not supposed to be, it's football. The NFL wants to make it pretty, tonight these two teams crossed them up and it was a thing of beauty.

That was an old fashioned slugfest and these players are going to have more bruises from this game than any they've played in a long time. Both teams fought for every yard they got and will not soon forget this game.

You can be mad about losing and you can point out all the warts but tonight I saw a glimpse of what this game used to be about and there's not a player on either team that should hang their head tonight, neither left anything in the locker room.

I have never been more convinced that they should meet every season. My friends, Texas football stood proud tonight because it was all about toughness. This game was all about guts and the Boys have nothing to hang their heads about, they showed up and gave their best and I am proud of them.

Sounds like what Garret is selling this morning.

I am only talking about the game itself, nothing else.

This is the entertainment value Jerry's selling .

The Interstate 40 Rivalry. It was a classic. LoL

Personally I preferred the afternoon game with Vikings and Eagles which looked more like two playoff caliber teams with good defenses and prolific passing Qb’s.

Actually, that was the opposite of what he's selling and what he wants, he's a follow the ball GM, not a defense guy.

Yea, the Baylor/ K State game was great too but 2 teams going nowhere this season.

But this is what we’ve been reduced too. Just wanting a close game for our favorite team between two 2-3 teams battling to hover around .500.

I guess I’m ok with that Coach. You’ve accepted what we are and making the best of a bad situation . Koodos to you!

Right.

It was a great slug fest with two very poor offensive teams which will both probably be out of the playoff race before December.

I must say I felt as sorry for Houston with their QB and offense as ours.

I like what Sturm said. Garrett always coaches like he has the better team. But often he doesn’t have the better team.
