Nebraska vs. Texas Game Day Thread

I picked Rutgers, but it doesn't look like they can sustain their offense well enough to beat WVU.

Colorado ahead early 14-3, over Tech.

Rutgers has sucked today.

The University of Illinois commercial is really dull.

I was hoping that Ball State would beat Illinois today, just because misery loves company, but that isn't happening.

I need to go get some beer.

I'm already irritated with the announcing.....

portraying Callahan as if the fans are attacking him undeservedly.

Specifically, that he's handled it as well as he possibly can. I think he's handling it about as well as my eight year old son would if he were being attacked by the entire planet.

Buttheads.

starting at right tackle in place of Lydon Murtha.

nice start to the game.

set of rushes on the first series, just couldn't maintain it.

Nice stop by defense on the first Texas series. Showed a little fire.

defensive stops in a row!

whoeee!

fans already aren't happy.

They're as dysfunctional as we are.

lookie here:

http://www.burntorangenation.com/sto...

we're not passing.

just running.

okay, maybe we should throw the ball.

we ever throw the ball down field?

Ever?
Ever?

Gagsdfasdgaggsasdfasdf;slasfd

shit

and McCoy gets 30 yards.

blitz and McCoy has to make a play.

the aggressiveness of the defense.

blitzing the heck out of McCoy. he's making some plays, though, that's okay.

I'd rather we fought all the way through it. If we're going to be a bad defense, then let it be, but not because we haven't made someone else work for it.

isn't handling the pressure well anyway.

So we force Texas to a FG attempt.

so far, so good for the defense.

which they make.

Lucky look for a hole? He just runs into the pile. Good god man.

on that spot.

badly.

on that call for fourth down.

I nearly died.

that replacing Lydon Murtha isn't going to be a great thing for this line.

Murtha hasn't ever come close to living up to his size or potential.

can't make a decision to save his life.

Throw the damned ball already.

he waits soooo long.

figured out why we are running so much more then passing. I read somewhere that UT has a good run defense but not so much against the pass. BC always designs his playbook for a game to do what ever the defense does best.

against Texas. Answer to the trivia question.

the damn ball downfield at some point.

kicking ass on third down.

Wow. Helu boof!

look. Dave Wannestadt sucking eggs at Pitt.

we could have had him. instead.

face mask.

that's okay. keep being aggressive, you sunsabitches.

pretty bad field position.

a turnover here would be great!

defense hasn't played too bad in this game.

they've had a sack, haven't given up much, have made some stops.

damned offense needs to be offensive.

we got screwed.

these refs are morons.

so now Texas gets a free shitty play on frist down.

are sticking everyone in the box and playing all out this game and we couldn't f@ing do this against A&M?

trying to strip it too much. Just need to tackle. He should have only had 2-3 yards not 10.

announcer just said he didn't think KC should change anything as we are making Texas earn everything. Well I haven't seen us change anything from the start of a game until the next game starts so I dont think that will be a problem. We will run this defense the whole game no matter what.

there.

with .50 seconds.

Lucky around the right side, great call.

Now, get the ball to PURIFY! Peterson!

is going on here? how the hell are we winning.

Ooeee!

that was swift, wasn't it?

Man, how'd you like be Texas right now. We suck.

and they're sucking more than we are. That has to hurt a lot.

hahahahahahahahaahahaha

is there hope for this team?

Oh hell. Here I go.

Texas looks more lost than we do. That's okay with me. If we could just beat Texas I'd be very very happy because it would make up for their volleyball team kicking our volleyballer's ass this week.

I don't want us to lose the rest of our games. I want us to go to a bowl. I want the energy and the psyche of this team intact.

Hope, man. hope.

at BON:

http://www.burntorangenation.com/sto...

look at that.

Texas fans, disgusted.

for anyone following over there.

http://www.burntorangenation.com/sto...

BTW, Peter Bean runs most of BON. I have a lot of respect for him. Notice that beginning his second-half thread he warns someone about blasting individual players and being banned for it.

That's classy. we can talk about football without resorting to name calling of college players.

Man, this is a game we can win. If we can hold on, it'd be sweet, man.

Bill Callahan's record when ahead after the half?

downfield.

Hardy!!!!

oh yeah.

man, texas defensive secondary gets burned badly.

hardy caught a pass and we threw it more then 10 yards down field.

we shoot ourseles in the foot.

shit.

stop throwing out patterns, otherwise Keller gets picked off and a return.

there it is.

downfield.

is someone wearing a BC costume and we actually have a new coach?

we have a defense.

we have pressure.

we have coverage.

what the hell!

looks good in this game.

playing inspired football.

it'd have been nice if Purify would have caught that last one.

keep playing defense.

keep going.

of Joba Chamberlain on the sideline.

Notice they didn't interview him.

FG - Texas.

BC had to call that play.

friggin' idiot.

suddenly rearing it's head?

we're playing not to lose?

shit.

4th quarter.

dammit.

areergghgh.

this game is on the offense. the defense so far has played well enough to win this game.

we have to keep scoring.

shifting.

could Sam Keller look off a receiver ever?

Texas at the 26.

we needed to keep the ball and score on that drive. they are coming back.

hurt?

Chiles coming in. he's more dangerous than McCoy. If we can't adjust, we'll lose right away.

against the spread.

He can't handle it. He just can't.

Nerbaska's defenders have never been properly taught how to defend the spread.

there they go.

the spread. which is why Kevin Cosgrove has to be replaced.

There are so many spread offenses out there now that we cannot defend.

Cosgrove is outdated.

As Tom Peters said years ago in "Thriving on Chaos":

"If you can't figure out how to obsolete yourself, someone else will"

have to score.

we have to.

we know the defense is bad, dammit.

and if the offense can't damn score, then we're through. and it's obvious that Bill Callahan is calling the plays again, because he can't help himself.

he sucks.

dropped passes.

the offense is supposed to be where we shine.

interception

turnover?

yes! life? yes.

we need to win this game. we do.

great. but can the d hold up. (think USC opening drive)

it get more obvious that at the end of the game Callahn is caling the plays?

our offense just fades.

what'd we run after that interception.

• middle left, bad blocking
• zone stretch right, heavy formation (as if they didn't know what's coming with a loaded right side)
• zero'ed in long fly route - off the mark

we needed a touchdown. a field goal. needed something.

DAMN

Kevin Cosgrove.

the spread offense. can't figure it out.

it's why our offense had to keep scoring.

bastards.

That sucks. Why Why Why

Nate Swift again. What a day he is having

we need to win this fucking game

this is a house of cards.

Steve Pederson built his house on Bill Callahan who built his house on Sam Keller.

dumbasses.

at least we were in the game today. Not a blowout

third down. we need a stop here we have the wind in our favor

we're going to play prevent.

no pressure.
poopy

Ron Franklin.

what a complete suckass.  we haven't scored in the second half. we haven't moved the ball in the second half.

keller's hurt.

it might not be over just yet

first down.

Ganz, playing. Let's see what the guy can do.

had Ganz in 3 games ago
