Longhorn News/Discussion (Non-Recruiting)

[Drb522]

Just repeat that all week long at practice and school

Play that video every time players are in the locker room, over and over

We need chaos - Tenn to beat UGA. Michigan to beat Ohio State but be forced to vacate their wins. Oregon State beats Oregon and Washington.

Need Michigan to lose, that way the committee can bump them down to 10 and not get scrutinized for holding something against them. Then you need wash to beat Oregon. That gets Texas to 5. Then we need fsu to drop a game, which is possible.

Bulletin board material. I hope this young man gets to introduce himself to T'vondre.

I agree.... but I would hope that this is not required for the Horns to play with enthusiasm and effort.

To be honest, I like stuff like this.... makes the games even more titillating. I found the most interesting aspect of that video - the revelation that Iowa St considers Texas a primary rival.

It’s both, but falls on the HC. If sark is to remain play caller, he needs to remember as OC your job is to score points. Those points can be scored in an aggressive way and in a conservative way. It is the OC’s job to find that rhythm of the game. Just going conservative with a 20 point lead regardless of success is on the HC. He wears both hats. If he can’t get out of his own way, if the sark OC is causing the Sark HC problems in the flow of the game….he needs to realize that. PK’s defense is giving up points in the second half. Tge offense keeps giving the opposition more possessions without scoring points. At some point the balance has to be found. Is that making sense? It does in my head.

Yeah. I think that's the whole concept of complementary football. Each side of the ball needs to help the other perform their job. To me it seems to come down to in-game adjustments. The initial plans are good but other teams are adjusting to Texas better than Texas is to the other team during the game

 

[Steelhammer]

While Taaffe gets INT, he isn’t always a sure tackler and is bad in coverage. But Taafe has gotten enough INTs this year to maybe justify all the TDs he ends up giving up with bad coverage. He’s slow.

I’d way prefer Catalon. Williams also very bad in coverage and missed assignments all day.

Oh I understand it is Taafe fault but when other DB are out of position it is because of PK. A caucasian can't play Db in this age.

Exactly… people are blaming PK. Yes his D has flaws. But our D is #37 in the country in yards per game at 337ypg. Imagine how much lower it could be if the offense stayed on the field (longer drives AND points). I think PK is fine, he just needs to quit the soft cushion BS. Right now, the offense is putting too much pressure on the defense in the second halves

Although you are probably right did you really have to go there?

Hopefully the team will handle their business. Once all games are played this weekend, we'll see what else needs to happen. Too many possible scenarios still available as of today.

Agree. Stranger things have happened that what we need to have happen. That said, I have little faith we'll get in. I don't see FSU losing. I think Oregon takes Wash in their next meeting. But I could be wrong.

I'm not going to get butt hurt about it. It's still a helluva season for us and perhaps a trend changer for the program as a whole. Only a few here said Texas would end the season with one loss. That's exceeding expectations, which this program hasn't done in years.

Speaking of stranger things have happened.

I read on another board that it is actually still possible for things in the Big 12 to end in an 8-way tie for first. I'll try and track down the scenario that was posted and post it here.

I just don’t want to go to the cotton bowl and play somebody like Tulane Ang have starters skip it

 

[BruiseLee]

I wouldn't mind the Cotton Bowl.....I'm getting sick of the Alamo Bowl

 

[Billybass]

I REALLY want be Big 12 champs and tell Big 12 to stick it where the Sun don’t shine on our way out the door.
We will need some luck, but it is right there for the taking.
Come on Sark !!! Coach em up !

Hook ‘em !!

Totally agree SHA. I just want the Horns to win the B12 CCG and give a big middle finger to the B12. Whatever else happens, happens. Take care of ISU and move on to TT.

Edit: I tried posting this an hour ago, but I was golfing so I guess it never went through. So, everything that BillyBass said.

 

[Chapalahorn]

Had to check and make sure I wasn’t in the recruiting thread but since I’m not, I’m just going to say what I have thought all along. Either we’re good enough and take care of business or we’re not the playoff will take care of itself and either we’re in it or we’re not. But like the rest of you, I would like nothing better than to win the Big 12 and give them the finger on the way out! Hook’em!!!

I don't remember Sark ever saying anything other then it was a great week of practice. Apparently Kirby Smart doesn't always take that approach.

Kirby Smart: ‘They were not good today,’ Georgia has disappointing practice

Georgia players made a challenging week of preparation for Tennessee even harder on themselves with a subpar practice on Tuesday night, per the head coach.

If you don't use bulletin board material then you're not using every resource available. My 2 cents. And players that say things along that line usually get a little extra sumthin sumthin from their opponents.

AKA the Bo Davis rant. I still re-watch that for entertainment purposes.
