and out of the clouds came, Hook ‘em, Horns!

Celebrate!

Oh, you're still here. I thought you left!

Catch up on the game and then get back to me with your expert analysis.

Lmao we got another delusional fan that’s ok with mediocrity here. Talk to me when you actually understand what you’re looking at. Yeah they won, barely. Let’s see how this holds up. Trust me I’ll be glad to eat my words

Dude HBU scored 33 against them. If we didn’t score a lot against them. It would be a travesty. I didn’t say anything about the rush. I said bad tackling and fundamentals. 

I didn't say the rush comment was yours (which is why I said "all those"). We won't hear from them today.

This game was far from perfect, but it's been tough in Lubbock for 20 years. To get out there with a win (despite how improbable) is the most important thing.

You should already be eating your words. The fact you aren't already suggests you won't then either.

Well, LSU went down, OU went down. Tyler Owens scored a TD. The Pirate won. 

I’m counting blessings!

No doubt getting out with the win was needed. But man we have a lot to work on.

I envy your positivity after that game. Lol ?

I had a scathing comment ready to go. I'll let it go considering the outcome.

I’m just not gonna jump for joy barely beating Texas Tech. Wait till we actually play someone worth beating. We’re supposedly the 8th ranked team in the country playing an unranked team we barely beat and gave up 50+ points to. I’ll reserve my meal until they prove me otherwise. Seen this same crap over and over again.

Robinson fixed a Texas defense in two weeks.  
 

Ash, Hand and the ST coach are going to be Herman’s undoing.

We better not screw around when we play KSU, or it will be a long day. 

 

[Drb522]

Hell Yeahhhhhh!!!!!

I hope their not that excited!  Damn

 

[primal defense]

I hope their not that excited!  Damn

I am. I know we looked bad and I have questions about the future, but today a win is a win is a win.

I hate to wake up on Sunday and the first was we lost to Texas Tech. I can wake up in a better mood.

Come on now.... You know that 2 week fix was the exception not the rule.

Plus if anyone had already figured out how to shut down Big 12 offenses everyone would do it. Leach takes it to the sec and almost scores fitty, against lsu with the DC everyone wanted before Orlando.

Point being... no one has the answer. I do know Ash deserves more than 2 games.

My thoughts on the game . . . Tech was ready to play. This was their bowl game. They have a very good offense. I know, it's Tech, but Tech played well and Jones Stadium is always a tough place to play. We came away with the W and two weeks from now, that's all anyone will really know about this game.

We grew up in this game. When down by 15 with 3:+ minutes to go, most Texas teams in the past would have either made it close or not scored at all. Not what this team did. I am impressed.

Very impressed with Joshua Moore. The kid is a real weapon. I like his game, a lot.

I don't know what his stats were, but Ingram had a very nice game. Started slow but was almost unstoppable there in the 4th.

Overshown had a nice game.

Ossai had a good game and caused mistakes. I want to see him get to the QB and put him on his back.

Tech's taller WRs really took advantage of our CBs. I'm sure OU was watching.

Our special teams were a joke. Whoever coaches them needs a butt chewing. That was awful.

OL continues to be meh. We finally were able to run the ball after awhile, but we got to do better. This was not a good DL.

We could have put this game away in the first half and didn't. That concerns me. We have to kill the enemy's spirit and do it early.

Did I mention special teams sucked?

I'll take the win in Lubbock. We have much to work on but this game provides some hope.

Derense did the job when they had to. I saw only one play that was designed to take an advantage by formation or movement. Was the two point play, other than that same old mostly predictable offense.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

When was the last time we scored 60+ points?

When was the last time we did that on the road?
