2017 MAACC...er, and now Big Ten, midweek spectacular SOC thread

Nobody appears to be winning the Matt Rhule to Baylor move.

WTF was he thinking, taking that disaster of a job?

Maybe he knew how bad this Temple roster was about to be.

Maybe he knew how bad this Temple roster was about to be.

When I saw Temple was getting held under the water, I went back to check what USF's defensive numbers were like.
In games 1-3, they'd been murdered by allowing big runs, but they were third in smothering the run, 17th in smothering the pass, 10th in limiting big passing plays. That was before last night. 
Strong can coach some defense, even if that offense isn't near as fun as it was last year.

So, Texas is in on the Thursday night MAACTION this week, playing against Iowa State.  I'm hopeful the inspired defensive showing against USC is part of a trend rather than an anomaly.  But our o-line is pretty woeful regardless, and ISU has some weapons.  I think this is going to be a fairly close game tonight, just hoping the Horns come out on top.

Cool. I get to watch some football after all.

I'm certainly not going to watch a bunch of clowns disrespect our flag. Ever.

And yes, Jim Harbaugh, I'm aware of what the constitution says.

last night of Men's golf league, so I probably won't watch much of the Cyclone game.  Perhaps the 4th quarter if it's close

Plus one.

Iowa State tonight.  As alternates go, I like these

Helmet logo needs more bird in that blender.

ESPN has clearly decided to mail in Thursday football.  The production is awful.  Steve Levy should stick to the aloha bowl and anchoring whatever he anchors.

This game is getting what it deserves.

One of the stinkiest games in some time.  On a rare beautiful night in Ames.

Man, the ISU QB Park makes his offense look even worse than ours.  And that's saying something.

Just glad to escape with a Thursday night road win.  Our game against KSU next weekend could potentially be even uglier, think about THAT, gentlemen.

I honestly thought that there would be a lot more fireworks than that.  Both teams seem to be capable of putting up 30+ points in any given game.  I still think ISU is dangerous enough to mess up someone's season (like an oSu or WVU), and Texas is gradually clawing its way back to respectability.  It may require an upset, but I think 8-4 isn't out of the question for the 'Horns this year.

And since when did ISU start adding grey to their unis?  Yuck.
