But what the hell is wrong with your entire football program? That terrible Tech D held the Ags to 7 points. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, Texas is on the verge of winning 10 games this year for the 7th year in a row, while you are getting embarrassed on multiple occasions for the 5th year in a row. You will be back to full-fledged cheating soon, I am sure (and not just the VIP Connection child's play). Have you contacted Jackie Sherrill yet?<BR/><BR/>You Agriculturalists crack me up. If we get another nat'l champ in 36 years, we'll be putting another one b/t us and the Ags. And you'll still be obsessed with UT. <BR/><BR/>Texas talent is hardly #2 this year (You just stare up at us in awe that way). Texas is a very young team, younger than that juggernaut in College Station.<BR/><BR/>But you can rest easy, for we are contemplating throwing the A&M game, so that you Ags will have an aneurism and maybe keep ol' Fran. Because to you, beating "TU" is all that counts. That's why you dumbbutts kept him last season so he could drag you even deeper into the dark mire in which you currently find yourselves. I think Colt faked the shoulder injury.<BR/><BR/>To us, it's beating every one we play. That's why we do it occasionally, even if it's only once every 36 years or so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252630037532230007.post-19283384190572988492007-11-12T07:12:00.000-06:002007-11-12T07:12:00.000-06:001.

It was clear we would win. But Harrell gets a TD pass and it's like they won the Big 12 on the sideline. <BR/><BR/>Your team and its leadership is satisfied with stats and second-tier status. Did you see Texas's reaction when the comeback vs. Ok. State was just starting in the 4th? Pure business. You think Charles is going to be cool and having a good time if we are losing? At Texas, it's about the team winning. <BR/><BR/>Harrell acts a lot like Leach, in my view. And Leach, while clearly an offensive genius, is not a good head football coach. He has taken Tech as far as he can take them. I mean, did Tech put one good lick on a UT player yesterday? His team and defense plays whiny. Our QB was flattening your DB's. <BR/><BR/>You need some one more interested in the whole football team and schemes, some one who values and understands defense and the running game. No team like Tech has ever, and likely will never, win a major conf. championship, much less a nat'l championship. <BR/><BR/>Finally ... Leach's performance post-game yesterday (after his defense was completely man-handled all day and gave up 60 points) was, in a word, pathetic. If he is still there next season (that is, he doesn't bolt for the defenseless PAC-10 and UCLA) I am sure Texas will remember this, like they remembered ol' Mangino's similar whining in '05. <BR/><BR/>My brother went to Tech and played a year, so ... I don't hate you tortilla-flingers. But like the Ags, you have to be honest to get better. I am fairly certain the Ags won't do this. <BR/><BR/>But I think Tech can. <BR/><BR/>B OrangeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252630037532230007.post-9803874267048531232007-11-11T20:45:00.000-06:002007-11-11T20:45:00.000-06:00Good analysis, Bond.

I tell you, the contrast b/t Tech's basketball and football coaches couldn't be more stark, except for the fact that both are good for sound bites. <BR/><BR/>Bob Knight's teams are tough, both physically and mentally. Leach's teams whine and get pushed all over the place. I agree that Harrell is a talented guy, maybe the best passer that Leach has had at Tech, but he is borderline punk. His whining and excuse-making look a lot like Leach's. <BR/><BR/>Let's face it: We Orangebloods (not me, but the collective "We") are all over Coach Brown, but he consistently coaches circles around Leach. There is more to football than offense, like the kicking game, and an ability to adapt schemes per personnel and opponents. Tech does the same thing all the time. This will work against Fran, but not against Texas, OU, et al.<BR/><BR/>Re: your defense, it's not simply scheming. Your personnel was overmatched yesterday against an offensive line that was just as young, nothing but freshmen and sophs. They were pushed all over the field, even when Charles and their only senior went out. <BR/><BR/>I've said this before, and you disagree: You can't recruit real defensive talent, or a real running back, if you don't value these positions in your scheme. <BR/><BR/>B OrangeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252630037532230007.post-20937374342394370732007-11-11T13:14:00.000-06:002007-11-11T13:14:00.000-06:00maybe so - I'm not a refmaybe so - I'm not a refBob Knight's Eyebrowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318936046178337220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252630037532230007.post-82062533469791327422007-11-11T12:49:00.000-06:002007-11-11T12:49:00.000-06:00AS I understand the rules, you can't call pass int...AS I understand the rules, you can't call pass interference on a throw behind the line of scrimmage.

Officiating is #12 or 13 on that list. Lets face it. Leach has had 7 years to find a defense...still hasn't happened. He still gets consistently outcoached: take away the freebie possession on the pooch kick and the fake FG that led to a TD, and this is a one-possession game, even with the terrible defense. <BR/><BR/>Leach whining about officiating is pure sour grapes.yarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05016864530421234117noreply@blogger.com
