I see that the Horns are leading the Pokes 7-3.

I meant to post some encouraging news here yesterday. QB Spencer Sanders is hurting and DT Brendan Evers, who, when he was a Jr. in HS was my student, is foregoing the rest of the season to prepare for the NFL.

But you're leading 7-3, so you probably don't need any encouragement.

Horns haven't been a great second half team lately, but maybe things are changing

encouragement is ALWAYS welcome

even from Boomers

Terrible clock management by the Pokes right before halftime. Gundy should be kicking himself.

I'd join you. He needs a good kick. My oSu-grad stepson thinks so too.
But he's happy right now.

In my youth, I played many games on an insanely poor pool table. It was old, and a joke. Over time, since it was the only one I had access to, I learned where the divots and curves were. I knew where the rails were dead, and where the felt had lumps. Playing on that table wasn't a problem for me, because I knew what would happen, and set my shots up accordingly.

I believe our true freshman QB was unprepared for what happens when a 25 mph N/S wind blasts through a stadium laid out E/W. He saw the field, knew the correct target, but the ball flew like a ping pong ball in a hair dryer. Playing in his 50th game at T Boone Pickens field, Sanders knew where the weird spots were.

After oSu corrected for the GT Counter play, Texas had tough sledding. The Cowboys are a good team, even injured. Tough loss.

i've obviously heard more than a few excuses for poor QB play, but that is magnificent!
