The Worst thing about the loss....

Postby Duke Blue Blood » Tue Sep 04, 2007 8:09 am

is that we can still go to a bowl. I don't know about you, but a team that is 7-5 that loses by 40 to any team does not deserve to go "bowling".

Even worse than that, a middle of the pack Big 12 team destroys us and reminds us once again how far behind the mid-majors are and C-USA as a whole.

UNT last year is still worse as we all thought we were going to win, but I once again was fooled into thinking we could keep this close.

Just HORRIBLE play calling. HORRIBLE!!!

Welcome to the BCS Super Conference World. The big schools got their wish & now they've got it.

This will never change until the spineless administrations of all the non-bcs-bs schools decide to fight the cartel, which I'm sorry to say, will never happen. Hopefully, I'll be proved wrong some day but for now, you better pick a better sport to watch.
BRING BACK THE GLORY DAYS OF SMU FOOTBALL!!!

For some strange reason, one of the few universities that REFUSE to use their school colors: Harvard Crimson & Yale Blue.

TCU hasn't had too many problems with teams in the Big 12 have they?

Seems like I recall Tech hanging 70 on them not too long ago. Let's see how they handle the Whorns this weekend.

Texas went completely bland/vanilla against Arkansas State.
NT did the same against OU.
We did the same thing after the game got out of hand — what did we run, three plays in the second half?
Season starts Saturday.

While true, we went 5-6 that year (2004)...our worst team since 1997. We gave up a LOT of points that year to a lot of average to poor teams. And Tech was very good that year - I think they beat Nebraska 70-somthing to 10.

No, they just went lazy.

Good point...but 400 yards...at home...to Ark State. I would think they could sleepwalk and hold them under 300.
