Once again, and I'm done with this psycho stuff after this one, I don't give a damn what Baylor's problems are. Perhaps they should have dropped Baylor in the rankings this week? Or maybe NOT make them 21 pt favorites?

If you want to throw a pity party for Baylor, thats fine. Save yourself the money and don't invite us. lol

They should have.

Man what is up with all these negative comments. Look if you're a Texas fan there's no need for the negativity. This site is for those who love Texas, yes it's been a tough year but when you can beat a ranked team (I don't care about them missing their QBs, they still had a chance to win but didn't) then you celebrate every chance you get.

Try being realistic. If you care about UT athletics, you should want the program to be on the right track. From what we have seen this year, the coachong staff isn't up to the job and the guy making the decisions is in over his head.

So you can celebrate a win over a team hobbled with a fourth string QB that we struggled to beat, or you can admit the program has deep, systemic problems and that Red McCombs was right in his original assessment of Charlie Strong.

That QB got hurt.

So did ours.

And half of this board doesn't even think he's a QB.

According to those people, we have a TE playing QB. So those people shouldn't argue that Baylor had a WR at QB, because we had a TE back there apparently, just saying.

Sorry I'm not in the Strong camp.

While y'all argue, I'm going to have a nice whiskey, smoke a cigar and enjoy a win. Life is short, enjoy the good moments. I'll even drink one for you djohn. Hook 'em! 🤘ðŸ¼

At least Swoopes can run and not get hurt, unlike Heard.

I was talking about Swoopes as the QB that got hurt. He was still limping after the game and definitely wasn't 100% in the second half

And he still played. And played well. When Heard takes a hit he is out of the game.

It is official I hate our coaching staff now. I know we were missing a lot of players but the formations that we were running is ridiculous.

On another note I'm very proud of the effort our players gave today. I hate Baylor as much as Oklahoma, so to get a win means a lot to me.

No, it's obvious you're in the Briles camp. I've never seen a more determined defender of what amounts to a colossal coaching failure on his part.

No apology necessary, just seek some help.

The problem is the coaching.

Baylor was playing a fourth string QB who couldn't pass the ball to save his life, so Texas dials up a defensive scheme that gives up 400 yards on the ground. A competent defensive coordinator doesn't get mauled like that. Hell, on Baylor's last drive, on 2nd and 26, the QB breaks loose for 24 yards. Our coaching staff absolutely sucks.

The players have potential. The coaching staff is in over its head.

I get what you're saying, but they gave up 400 yards on the ground, but only 17 points. 17 points. I also realize in the 2nd half Texas was playing 7 freshman in the back 7. Let that sink in. 7 freshman were playing our back 7. Bedford has made multiple mistakes this year, but he did a wonderful job with experienced players last year. When do we cut him some slack trying to play so many guys with little experience. Let's judge him next year when young players can't be used as an excuse and he trusts them more.

And played well.

Heard today

0 for 2 passing.

3 rushes, 0 yards.

I actually enjoyed Briles losing due to what he did back in 2008 voting against UT. So I don't know what you are talking about in being a Briles defender, he was a moron for not running the ball more. But whose team has more coaching failures this year? It was your source who said a while back that Strong would be out. It's funny though. Anyone who doesn't like Strong makes you upset.

OK that's great. My point is that for those complaining that Baylor had a hurt QB, we had plenty of injuries too, including with both QBs

 

[djohn2oo8]

I won't even rub it in your face when Strong fails next year too. Sirhorns...

Pretty sure he meant Swoopes played well, not Heard
