Hungry for Some Bear
I am tired of eating turkey. Have a hankering for some bear this afternoon.
Here’s hoping the team gets off to a fast start and gets the bad taste of last Saturday out of their heads ASAP.
iight boys!
despite this being a home game, i’m still at home in virginia so i’ll be here for the game!
Wreck 'Em Tech!
J.T.H.
Crabtree...
Needs to have a HA-yuge day today
i wanna put out a scenario no one is talking about...
so KU and mizzou are close right now
if mizzou loses…
they are a 9-3 team going to title game…
if it’s a 3 way tie into that game.. and mizzou beats whoever it is…
does mizzou HAVE to get a BCS bid? or can they give whatever to the other 2 in the south?
do conference champions have an auto bid into the bcs games?
Wreck 'Em Tech!
J.T.H.
that sucks...
so a 10-3 mizzou would get a bid over an 11-1 south team
i hate the bcs

O-Line
Over/under on sacks on Harrell after last week’s performance?
i wonder if our D is gonna just go after em or play the same bend but don't break

They plan on laying a whooping to Baylor score-wise
For the elusive style points

Bottom of the Barrell
Apparently Vs is scraping it by getting the Adult Film Network correspondent as the sideline reporter: Craig Hummer
couldn’t stop the run last week against OU and looks like they are struggling again this week

Why doesn’t that guy who gets trash talked by the janitors just say “at least I’m not a janitor”? What a terrible commercial.
If we slip into the Big 12 CG, that mizzou loss will hurt our SOS. I can hear the Whorns whining already.
Harrell
is resorting to pre-conference Harrell
12 games. 12 freaking games.
Is it too much to ask for a little consistency?
I'm getting to the point....
where I feel an overwhelming urge to avert my eyes when the defense is on the field.
Should hear the Baylor announcers.
You’d think they just won the NCG.
At least the beer is flowing like wine...
By the time the OSU/OU game kicks off, I will be passed out in the gutter. I guess that’s good and bad.
Remain optimistic
Tech still has this game
by jeffinhouston on Nov 29, 2008 3:20 PM CST up reply actions
problem is we just can't afford any negatives...

I’m having to watch this one on ESPN Gamecast. Versus is further off the basic cable.

I don't understand what McNeill is thinking
We had mostly 2nd string in on tha series on the DL with Baylor on a short foeld after a urnover. If there is ever a time for a stop, it was during that series.
Maybe he’s giving the Seniors a quarter?
by Red Raider in South GA on Nov 29, 2008 3:23 PM CST up reply actions
McNeill's personnel decisions lately
have been on the mystifying side. It’s bad enough when we’re playing soft zone the entire first quarter anyways, let’s at least keep the varsity in there.
by mojavereject on Nov 29, 2008 3:22 PM CST up reply actions
That will be his only real drawback to the NFL teams
by jeffinhouston on Nov 29, 2008 3:25 PM CST up reply actions
my understanding is
that it’s a fracture, and so it’s going to keep bothering him until he gets a full offseason to heal, since he’s obviously going to start until he’s only held together with medical tape and ace bandages. After that he ought to be good to go.
by mojavereject on Nov 29, 2008 3:26 PM CST up reply actions
Baylor is confusing the hell out of Harrell
he’s not getting the reads he’s used to getting and it’s frustrating him
Baylor Athletic Department
puts asterisk next to decision to spring for DVR in the coaches’ lounge

he's still in a fog
from last week? All he can see is crimson and cream flashes everywhere…then….BAM!
I am riding this mother

Mac Brown is politicking on ESPN
He says that if Tech were in the BCS Top 5, then head-to-head wins matter. But since we’re not, then it shouldn’t.
by Red Raider in South GA on Nov 29, 2008 3:36 PM CST reply actions
nice of him
to just make his own personal rules up.
If Texas weren’t full of assholes then it wouldn’t matter, but because they are, it does. Look, I can do it too
If UT had the case to make
he’d let the record speaks for itself. Unfortunately, the record is saying “UT needs as much help as Tech” so Mack Brown is talking as loud and as fast as he can.

Mac is saying
he wants the Big 12 Con. Championship to go away, that the Big 12 should be more like the Big 10.
by Red Raider in South GA on Nov 29, 2008 3:42 PM CST reply actions
yeah playing in the Big 12
would be so much easier if you didn’t have to compete against tough teams
by mojavereject on Nov 29, 2008 3:43 PM CST up reply actions
yeah he got a concussion on an earhole block
during the OU game
by mojavereject on Nov 29, 2008 3:44 PM CST up reply actions
absolutely
at this rate he should be wearing down sometime in February

hey man
I don’t make this shit up, his uniform changes colors BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES

Gamecast has us
at -3 yards rushing?!
by Red Raider in South GA on Nov 29, 2008 3:59 PM CST reply actions
This settles it
I will turn on NCAA 09 on the PS3 after this game, turn it on the easy setting, and beat Baylor 147-0
with baylors stats in 09
you should try to break 200
by mojavereject on Nov 29, 2008 4:00 PM CST up reply actions
if football doesn't work out for RGIII
he’s got a bright future running a street corner three-card monte game
so as Briles
do you risk a field goal, or let Griffin do some goalline-fu and try and go up by a touchdown
not callin' that yet... i dunno that it's ruffin, but the players
air is out of their sails still… need to fucking shape up

as pissed as I am
about that bad fumble call that set up this TD, our O-line should be man-handling their d-line. No excuse for the piss-poor play by both sides.
fumble was a good call
Wreck 'Em Tech!

Maybe we will have a comeback like in our last two bowls.
by Red Raider in South GA on Nov 29, 2008 4:11 PM CST reply actions
We're only down by 7
But if we cannot ever stop Baylor’s offense and continue to commit turnovers then they cannot come back.
by jeffinhouston on Nov 29, 2008 4:13 PM CST up reply actions
was our whole year built on emotion? I mean, even when things don’t go your way, you can still count on defense. right and
right now (and all of last week) Tech doesn’t look like a very good football team
by jeffinhouston on Nov 29, 2008 4:15 PM CST up reply actions
In other news...
Alabama is only up 10 at half against Auburn.
"TT must beat baylor and OSU must beat OU"
Did anyone think the first one would be more difficult than the second?
The only stop of the half was when they missed the FG. Both lines are getting dominated. We need a whole new attitude in this half.
"attitude"
you misspelled defensive coaching staff
by mojavereject on Nov 29, 2008 4:31 PM CST up reply actions
Finley
clearly does not understand that we had our dime package in there to stop the pass. Rude, that.
Mesage to the DL
The guy in front of you doesn’t matter unless he has the ball. Quit getting so tied up in your own grudge matches.
there's something to be said
for artistic understatement

Batch says "look out Graham!"
But Graham doesn’t hear him. Oh no.

he was on a swing route
Harrell needs to be cogniscent of the blind side pressure

The defense
has got to stop Baylor on the next drive
not much that's good
and a lot more that’s very not good

21 points against Baylor mid-way through the 3rd

This better not go to OT.
Ou D may not hold ’em.

heh
the VS commentator wonders why Mike Leach doesn’t throw a deep ball after that. I don’t think he know us very well, do he?
Not that there is anything wrong with that

we are nothing if not
creatures of habit. good thing Stoops is the only coach in the Big XII who’s a film room geek

I agree - but at least the game is being televised
can’t say the same thing about a number of aTm games this year

Depending on you guys for play-by-play.....
They aren’t showing the game here in Japan. Have been monitoring ESPN gamecast and reading your updates…..so be descriptive……and WTF? How did we get to this point? With Baylor? Really? Baylor?
there ya go

This seems to be going about right.
Every team has a lull. If nothing else, that’s just statistical. But if you don’t let that lull get in your head, it ends eventually.
4th quarter anyway

Rooting for OSU actually.

question...
depending on the seriousness of Crab’s injury…
do you think this could affect him coming back next year or not?

J.T.H.
He’s gone.
What a dreary game…Happy with the win and 11-1 sure does look nice on the mantle. But unimpressive on the whole. The stats are a bit ugly.
harrell was 41-50
not that bad…
we still got 1-2 more games
