Pathetic. Great OC call. Pistol formation where you are handing the ball off 4 - 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage. What a #$%^&^%$# MORON!

Better yet, why even bother showing up to Fort Worth if you're going to call plays like that?
They need someone other than our current coaches to do it. I couldn't do any worse.
And they would have needed to give me Bennett's check to get me to Ft Worth.
I'm not going to anymore games until He is gone. I'll watch on tv or the net but not in person.

He just gave it to Martin for no gain. Agree about the shotgun. Was it to fool TCU to think they would play action? It's easy to now say "always take the points." Well, it would have been a 41 yd kick. Still in this game!

The call to go for it was the right one. The play call was not.
It's a crappy job but someone's gotta do it.

Let's look at the postive. The Pony up and arrow in the middle of the field is as good as the Diamond M grass seed. Even better because this one is exposed and discussed on the television broadcast. Pony up to whomever is responsible for the "vandalism" as TCU reported it to be.

We have to be extra vigilant next year when they play at Ford.

I'm betting that we run an onside kick to start off the second half. Then we'll get the ball and run a quick kick.
Stupid? Yes. Likely? As much as anything with these idiots running the show.

TCU calls a little paint on grass vandalism. I wonder what they are calling the paint on the cars at SMU by the TCU "thugs".

I'm looking at the brightside...at least its halftime right now and I can watch some quality football on ESPN. Georgia-Alabama is an incredible matchup.

The video feed sucks. I have to refresh All-Access every 10 minutes when it starts to freeze up.

I think the first half game plan was pretty good. Other than the 4th down hand off to our smallest back, and a missed assignment on a punt block, we were out played by about the difference in the quality of athletes. Our kids will need to play above their abilities but they can get back in this game with a little luck.
