*****Game Thread - Texas vs. Maryland*****

[DMAC]

The cake is baked.  It doesnt matter who is coaching this team they will be playing for a NC.  - Paraphrased Strong

Well if thats true Strongs cake suck.  Hermans cakes suck!  This team is terrible people.  What talent?  How many top 10 classes has Maryland had?  Boyd, Locke, Boo, Hughes, MJ, and so many more are terrible.  Yea Holton Hill had 2 gimmie TD's  easy pick and easy block FG return.  Even the almighty Conner "Can do no wrong" Williams goated with 2 holds back to back.  

So Strong came in to fix Mack Brown notorious SOFT team, I guess that means Herman is coming in to fix Strong soft team?  Who is gonna fix Hermans soft team?

Well I want my f##king CAKE.  Tired of this garbage product.  Makes it even worse with all the shitty media hyping every f##king little thing as all american, stronger, better, discplined blah blah blah bullshit

Another coach same result.  f##king garbage shit show.  Outplayed but 2 and 3 stars.

Well, at this point, you try to hold on to your recruiting class. Probably seals the deal with Cook.

Buechelle is not our QB. He just does not have the moxie needed for a QB at Texas. On the very last series, it almost looked as if he wanted to get off the field. So I'm ready to see what the freshmen can do. I want someone who goes down fighting.

The defense looks much like last year's. We just gave up 44 to an offense NOBODY TALKS ABOUT. Good Lord have mercy and make USC have mercy.

So disappointed. Probably just need to back away a bit.

You are pissed aren't you?

To surrender to USC before the game even starts? Really.

You know football is funny you don't know what can happen week to week.  

We believe think Herman can turn it this program around, lets be patient.

The defense lost this game....not Shane. anyone should have seen that. Why bag on Shane?

 

[83Dee]

One suggestion to our brilliant coaching staff..... go back on your principled stance and watch the freaking games that were played last year!  Then, perhaps you will convince yourself to: 

Start Hager
Start Roach
Start Warren III

These are down right dumb decisions by our MENSA member coach!  Three of the few productive players we had on a bad team last year.  This one looks very similar.

Because it's a stupid Texas fan base tradition. No QB is as good as the one in the sidelines.

 

[bscooter99]

Stupid fan base? Well I guess stupid coaches too who haven't brought one who can go win the game for the team in the past 7 years or whatever it's been..please...just like was stated earlier...your team looks to your qb and when he can't provide a spark then what....

 

[oldhorn2]

I now worry about this Mensa rating.....going for 2 with a whole quarter to play?...going for it on 4th and 24?.....going for the TD on 4th and goal from the 5 after a beautiful drive?....allowing Durveyney to return kick offs? Leaving  ole' Malik in the game?    WTF?

Preseason Hype:

Maryland Game:

 

[drgilbert]

I bagged on Shane cause what part of the game I saw he made some crucial mistakes. The very first play from scrimmage Shane took a sack instead of throwing the ball to the RB. As I said he is not the only reason, but some of his decisions were bad, and he ran scared, and his accuracy at times was suspect.

My daughter just told me fans were throwing things on the field. I didn't see it. Probably because I still have a 1998 Magnavox 27" because it still works. 

I've considered moving it to my bedroom and buying a digital for the living room, but I don't watch TV in my bedroom. Oh well...it will stop working one day. 

Throwing temper tantrums at an athletic event is unacceptable. If that's what they were doing, they are not mature enough to have beer sales in the stadium.

Maryland was the faster, more athletic, tougher team.  And..... better coached.  I too am tired of hearing about "talent" on this team.... can we put that to bed?  What in the world other than how they were ranked in high school leads anyone to the conclusion that this team is talented?  They can't cover, get out run, can't tackle and can't block. 

I've seen this unathletic team for three years, I'm used to that.  What bothers me is they looked to be very poorly coached.  Double digit penalties for over a hundred yards? Over 50 passes thrown?? Buchelle carrying the ball more than Porter and Warren combined???  And I have always thought that special teams is a direct reflection of coaching emphasis.  Special teams was beyond bad, it was down right pathetic!!!!

Boy, to say I am deflated is an understatement. 

 

[oldhorn2]

cant provide a spark?????   what stat line would you like to see from a QB if  65% completions....375 yds....2 TD's arent enough  for you?

Add this to my concern list about coaching.

If there is a knock on Buchelle, it is that he isn't a fit for the style of this offense.  He is not a running QB and the offense is designed for one. 

 

[Daniel Seahorn]

A lot to digest. All I'm going to say is that calling for Buechele's head is well down my list is glaring issues after watching that game. Almost 400 yards passing and competed 65% of his passes. You can win games with that. Was he perfect? No. But the was absolutely no run game to lean on, playcalling was lackluster, receivers weren't getting separation, and on top of that penalties killed drives on multiple occasions. We aren't taking about a 3rd or 4th year upperclassmen. Can't forget that Shane is still young and he can't do it all by himself. 

This team is still a long way away from being contenders in its own conference. There were bright spots, but still a lot of the same stuff we saw last year. Entire team better circle the wagons or it could be a long year. No game on the schedule is a given after that showing today.

[J.B. TexasEx]

Drunk on the koolaid.  Three years of utter frustration about to come out on those poor Terps.

Ummm....yeah

Looked like the same undisciplined team to me out there today. Think I'll just get drunk. 

 

[dillohorn]

When you give up 30 pts in the first half you don't leave yourself much of a chance to win.

Yes, looked to be roster brochures all over the field. I can understand The frustration, Paying great money for season tickets for the last 7 years for a SH@! Show. BUT very immature to throw crap on field. A good way to bring the team Down Even more.

11 UT penalties.
