    Another tough B12 game for the Longhorns. This is one of those rivalries that you just throw out the records and figure it's going to be a titanic battle. There are no easy games in the B12.

    Also of note after watching Jevan Snead against So. Carolina and Alabama I am very glad Mack chose Colt McCoy. :) Can't see what that dude saw in him to give him 1 vote for pre-season All SEC QB.

    My fantasy team needs big games from Jordan Shipley and Dan Buckner tonight!

    With poor showing from MO's QB, your fantasy team doesn't need much to beat me this week.

    Some big games tonight.

    I think the Longhorns win this one easily.

    Oklahoma next week though. That doesn't look as tough as thought before the season starts.

    :roll:

    TOK, Toledo hung 50+ on the Buffs the week before they played my Buckeyes. Good thing the Rockets were looking ahead to their big game - they may have put triple digits on the board.

    That is a bad, bad football team likely to finish in the bottom of the MAC.

    7-3 Buffs after 1 qtr. I'm telling you guys those games were not conference games for the Buffs, exhibition games don't count. They were just getting things set for B12 play.

    An a$$ kicking is an a$$ kicking no matter who or when.....and the Rockets kicked their a$$ up and down the football field.

    I appreciate the need to rationalize at this point in the game, but I have no doubt that in short order, Colt and the boys will put them in their proper place. They are just not a good football team.....

    I need to give you Mack's phone number right about now he's needs to have some of your confidence! :oops:

    If the Rockets can put up over 600 yards of total offense on the Buffs, Colt and the boys will eventually have their way with them. It's only a matter of time.....keep swinging.

    Mack just needs to make sure the polydent is still holding. He is going to be chewing some a$$ in a few minutes.

    Ah finally...big pass to Shipley for TD. This will give us some mo going into halftime. Colorado is not as bad as their record, they gave an extremely fast WVA team fits in Morgantown.

    Hopefully we'll get things under control in the 2nd half, for some reason we've (Colt) been slow starting this year.

    Man I really scored a lot of fantasy points. Ohio State D got me 24, Jordan Shipley 20, and the biggest move was taking the chance that Potts wouldn't start and picking up his backup QB who got me 60 points. It feels good to finally have the win! :)


    As far as the Longhorns, lots of teaching points for the coaches this week to get the kids attention in prep for OU. Big worry is the running game, I can't believe with all the talent we have at RB we can't run the ball better than that, and this isn't a freshman dominated OL either.

    Lots of concern about the lack of a running game for the Longhorns, they rushed for 46 yds last night. This time last year the Longhorns had 561yds rushing out of Colt McCoy so far this year he's run for 61 yds. Don't know what's going on here.

    OU defense will be the best we've seen all year, we'd better be able to run some or it's going to be a very tough game.

    Kurt Bohls puts a different more positive spin on the win...does seem odd to have to put a positive spin on any win doesn't it.
