Actually, Chris played rather well. Major threw two picks, one a badly underthrown pass. they would have won the game regardless if the defense was sound on STanford's last drive. ------------------ "norm, would you like to buy an indian scalp ?

Yeah, Didn't we knock out Stanford's starting QB in that game? How the hell did we lose that one? ------------------ True Faith
Poor on the field strategizing and pre-game preparation, that's why. Mack is a very good recruiter, but he needs better people around him and allow those people to make the tough decision for him.
Alright, I know you don't win national championships in the preseason. But, damn, we're ranked #1 by several sources, including the Sporting News. We've got damn easy schedule, with the only challenging game against BlowU. Here's the schedule: NMSU, UNC, UH, Tech, ZeroU, Ok. St, Col, Mizzou, Baylor, Kansas, and A&M. A&M is a joke next year, and have really fallen into mediocrity. It's a shame how RC Scrotum has driven a once proud team into the ground. The Horns have better depth than any other team in the Big XII. Our offense will be one of the best in the nation- putting up 40-50 on a regular basis. At quarterback we go three deep with Simms, Applewhite, and Mock. At RB, Ike will start with Hayter and Benson getting carries as well. We are absolutely stacked at WR with the "Big 3": Roy, BJ, and Sloan. Not to mention Kyle Shanahan, Montrell Flowers, and Tony Jeffery, all of whom could potentially start at any other Big XII school. At TE we'll start former high school phenom Bo Scaife, who's backed up by 6'5", 250lb. Brock Edwards, and former WR, Artie Ellis. OL is anchored by monster Antwan Kirk-Hughes. Our defense will continue to shock the nation, especially with the amazing speed in the secondary, with Jammer and Babers at the corners, and Vasher and Lee Jackson at safety. Cory Redding will continue to improve at DE, and DD Lewis is one of the nation's best LB's. The only thing that can stop us this year is another brain fart like NC St. or Stanford. There is no excuse for not being able to sweep through the regular season. We have one of the easiest schedules in the country. It's up to Mack Brown not to screw this one up. Remember, first game is September 4 against New Mexico St...can't wait. Hook Em. ------------------ "Oh No..." -Bill Walton in 97 just before Stockton's buzzer beater
I don't like Victor Ike. The guy has poor lateral movement when he runs. I can't wait to see Benson. I predict Benson will be the starter before the season is halfway over. ------------------
I hate RC Poke'm too He has f*cked A&M for years he is the tony barone of football He is good. . . but too too conservative and too too predictable he crumbles under pressure Big Games scares him Rocket River ------------------
I'm concerned about three games: UNC, 0U, and A$M. UNC: Mack's former school with something to prove. UNC won't be ready for the heat in Austin [like Stanford '99] (11 AM ABC). 0U: 0U is not a fluke (TBA ABC). A$M: No matter how good or bad A$M is, UT has not had much success in College Station (11 AM ABC). ------------------ True Faith
The guy has poor lateral movement when he runs I don't know... you remember his 80-yd TD against NC State a couple years back? Juked that last defensive back so badly he broke the guy's hips instead of his ankles.
Is LB DD Lewis related to ex-cowboy LB DD Lewis? ------------------ It looks like a veteran can Be had.
The team has the talent, I just want to know if they have the killer instinct. Here are my expectations : BCS Bowl, Big 12 championship, and a win over the land thieves. I'm not worried about anyone else on the schedule. This team is very talented. ------------------ "norm, would you like to buy an indian scalp ?

I'm afraid of what a new coach could do at A$M. A$M has history. New coaches have put UT and 0U back on the map. We could have a three headed monster in the Big XII South...the toughest division in the toughest conference. As long as the Aggy's keep RC, A$M will keep reaching for the Alamo Bowl every year. ------------------ True Faith
Nobody can deny Ike's speed, I just don't think he is the answer for Texas at RB. He never eludes the first tackler, a trait that all great running backs share. Of course, since I am a huge Texas Longhorn football fan, I hope Ike proves me wrong. Did any of you see Benson in last year's 5A championship game? I think Texas' offense, with Benson starting by mid year, will be as good as anybody in the country. Roy Williams is a freakin' stud as well. This football season is going to be fun. ------------------
But how does that schedule jive with the new BCS rules? Besides, OK, are any of those teams going to be Top 15? In the Big 12 title game... but other tan that? I want BC to go 9-2 this year... I'm expecting losses to Miami and either Vtech or Notre Dame. I think we can beat either one, not both. Look for our RB William Green. He's a jr, and averaged almost 7 yards a carry last year and rushed for over 1000 yards despite being 2nd in the depth chart much of the year for disciplinary reasons. ------------------ Clutchcity.net... source for all your Rockets, Astros, political, music, humor, and Gordita news.
