Kitty Game Thread

I actually have been to both...LSU fans are the worse...what makes LSU worse is their fans are horrible, and their players follow suit.

 

Tom has gone the JC route for DEs and LBs. I’d be looking for a couple of JC lock-down corners.

 

I agree. Even Bama isn’t Bama without a little luck over the years.... a couple of plays go different and it’s all different for either team...

 

After last night's loss to LSU, Texas is now 38-20-2 (0.650) All-Time against the SEC

 

Well, if you changed it to “...against teams in the SEC”, we could add our massive win margins against the ags and the swine...

 

I think Tom wanted to go mano y mano and knock those defenders off the line and let Sam bulldoze his way in. That has worked in previous games but not this time.
Their secondary is better than ours on the corners but definitely not perfect. We got touchdowns on them and they had about 4 or 5 interference penalties
Yeah I like that jump pass to the tight end also.
Sam is definitely not a pure passer. I think Chaisson is mostly right about Sam.
LSU wrs was a tough test for our dbs and the QB like Burrows definitely added to the problem with good passing. I admire the way he throws the ball before the receivers make their cuts. That's what the pros do. Sam throws it when our guys get open, that's not the best way. I wonder if we can learn from lsu's example.
Rashon was a pleasant surprise. What a team player!

 

I doubt if their is an animal as a JC lock down corner

 

There is a kid in high school in Arizona right now who fits the bill - Kelee Ringo --- who is one of those beastly man cover CBs we seek and probably college ready as a high school senior. It's a tough road to land him, but we are in the race.

 

They hate us more than they love themselves.

Well that was a fun game for me to watch. Cheering and screaming and frustration I was tired.

Overall, our weaknesses (thin RB depth and vulnerable CBs) were exposed. But we're playing from ahead, not from behind, if 1) Ingram doesn't drop the pass, 2) better play calling on 1st and goal through 4th and goa.. .l twice, and 3) better clock management to end the half. Against very good teams, that won't do.

We must get more depth at RB and CB.

That inside kick was almost allsome

 

If he’s not the primary receiver he occasionally makes an outstanding play. Throw him a deep ball where he’s well covered and he loses most of the time.

 

But we are still improving, but that is not good enough for you?

You should go to be an Alabama fan.

 

Looking at his elevation, I think his hamstring was a little worse than we thought.

But you will never hear a peep from him.

 

I think he was a 3 Star. Definitely a good evaluation.

 

On edit: unless USC hires Leach. Then all bets are off and instant success is a real possibility.

 

I would think if players are "lock down corners," they are not on JC rosters very often. If they are, they are probably academic risks.

 

What’s Robinson doing these days? I wonder if he’s too old to come in as a defensive consultant again to give us a little help...

(Not sarcasm)

 

And he knows he most likely can come in and start with an elite DB group around him.

 

That may be right the vast majority of the time. But, as with other positions, there are some JC players out there who mature late, were overlooked, were misevaluated, or came from unheralded programs and flew under the radar.

 

First time to DKR since CDC came on board. First, tremendous job on the new game day activities.

Needs improvement:

1) some money is needed to improve/increase concessions and bathrooms in the upper deck.

2) why do the cheerleaders not do Texas Fight during the game?

 

My first time being in the presence of LSU fans in a game setting and I sat next to some drunk idiots

 

Guess we can (should) retire the DBU T-shirt’s now. Torched!

 

Another question is why were our tight ends underutilized. You can't tell me they can't find a soft spot behind the linebackers a la Jason Whitten for a first down every once in a while.

 

Honestly though that was a really great 4th quarter by both quarterbacks

 

I agree wholeheartedly we are the most complete team in the Big12. Only our results on field will determine if we are truly the best...as you know.

 

For what its worth... I came away with same impression as Michael.

 

Their DBs weren’t much better.

 

Two holes in our game...Running Back and DBs.

 

Beating OU twice to get in the playoffs is definitely doable, it's just going to be tough.
