Buff lose yet another offensive lineman

This is getting redonkulous.

Starting right tackle Ryan Miller suffered a broken lower left leg against Florida State and will miss the next 4-6 weeks. That's now two starting offensive linemen they've lost in a week.

Think Texas will take advantage of their inexperienced offensive line?

Dan Hawkins has appealed to the NCAA for another season of eligibility so he can fill in at Tackle. Orakpo who?

No response expected anytime soon.

Arch, go whine some more with your Buff Backers.

Hagan’s comments from Burt’s link are pure gold.

“I remember warming up and those guys were laughing and joking over there,” Hagan said of the Longhorns, then led by quarterback Vince Young. “They didn’t respect us.”

Wonder why?

“What they did was pretty much try to clown us on a national stage…”

Try?

That leg would still be in one piece if he was playing intramurals, brother!

Hagan trashed Applewhite because he was a former qb coaching running backs. Hagan was a qb at Colorado. He coaches running backs also.

that 70-3 article is funny, especially when you read the comments below. those people are just pussies.

by Uncle Rico on Sep 29, 2008 4:03 PM CDT reply actions  

Whatever. We called off the dogs about an hour and a half before the game actually ended. You assholes should be thanking us that it wasn’t 105-3.

by Nordberg on Sep 29, 2008 5:02 PM CDT reply actions  

Yah… you called off the dogs alright… that’s why, after you already had 70 points on the board, you blitzed LB Drew Kelson late in the 3rd quarter who ended up putting Klatt in the hospital with an illegal hit!!??! Called off the dogs didja? D1cks.

This wasn’t some little sisters of the poor begging for mercy. This was the north division champion of the Big 12.

You need to get the granola out of your vagina.

by HenryJames on Sep 29, 2008 5:35 PM CDT reply actions  

If you’re mad because the hit was helmet to helmet, fine, it happens. There wasn’t intent to injure Klatt, and I feel for the guy. While it sucks that he didn’t get to play in the following bowl game, it’s not like the hit kept him from playing pro ball. Hits like that happen every season. If you remember, Colt suffered a similar hit at home from A&M.

However, our 3rd string and walkons did get rotated in during the 2nd half. What else would you have us do? Play shorthanded?

And remember the last time we played Colorado in the Big 12 Championship game for a shot at the National Title? We lost. So you can excuse us for not wanting to repeat that mistake with a trip to Pasadena on the line.

1. Drew Kelson was a reserve.
 
2. I was at the game. It was 70-3 in the middle of the 3rd quarter.
 
3. We purposefully stopped trying to score in the middle of the 3rd. If we’d wanted to pour it on, it would have been 91-3. And I’m not exaggerating.
 
4. I hate fans – ours and others – who whine about the score getting run up.

by Scipio Tex on Sep 29, 2008 6:02 PM CDT reply actions  

Not to mention we didn’t blitz Kelson. He had man responsibility on the running back (you might remember he had the same responsibility on Reggie Bush a month later) but the back stayed in to block. So Kelson rushed. Except the back didn’t block him.

Essentially Klatz got clobbered because you guys sucked that day. Get over it.

by Huckleberry on Sep 29, 2008 6:40 PM CDT reply actions  

Buffs sucked bigtime that day! Just another fine Gary Barnett legacy for hs lowered expectations and his general laziness and suckiness as a recruiter.

 After Hawkins was hired, HS coachs from all over, particularly Colorado, asked Hawk were the Buff recruiters had been the past few years!

Gary got that LT contract with a “longevity only” incentive bonus, so the first tee beckoned more than the recruiting trail. Buffs are still playing catch-up from that issue, not the over-hyped non-scandal!

Thats a damn shame. Ryan is a good player.

Texas could have scored a 100 that day. The sad thing is that’s not even the worst that Texas has ever beaten Colorado. In 1946 Texas won 76-0.

by kevwun on Sep 29, 2008 9:43 PM CDT reply actions  

I know I’m late to the bashing of bleeding-vag granolas, but did BuffsRock just scold us for playing hard in the 3RD QUARTER?

by PatronSaint on Sep 29, 2008 9:52 PM CDT reply actions  

Aside from OU’s 77-0 shellacking of A&M, that was the single most lopsided football game I’ve ever seen. It was like watching Kimbo Slice fistfight a girl scout.

The Horns scored 70 points with just 5/8 of the game completed, and then completely stopped playing. That’s a 112-point pace. Think about that.

It’s a good thing Mack called off the dogs in the 3rd, or Colorado fags would be whining about the humiliating 112-3 loss to Texas. Count your blessings, Buff fans.

by BrickHorn on Sep 29, 2008 10:23 PM CDT reply actions  

I see a prediction on the Buff site that Scott will transfer if he doesn’t start. I wonder if they can get someone to buy his mother’s contract?

by DBH on Sep 29, 2008 10:46 PM CDT reply actions  

That contract has already been sliced into derivatives and sold to Lehman Brothers. It’s now linked to 2009 Brazilian kumquat futures and ultimately threatens to destabilize the Thai Baht.

good retort Scipio Tex. Humor never hurt.

Oh c’mon guys, with the name calling, Colorado fags?! Be politically correct here. Try something like either Buff Homo’s or Ralphie’s Rump Rangers, they like that more.

CU fans are the biggest assholes that I have ever encountered at a college game based on my experience at the 2001 Big XII Championship game in Dallas. Several groups of them tried to pick fights in the parking lot before the game.

I enjoyed every minute of the 70-3 game, and wouldn’t have been a bit concerned if we’d scored more. Keeping your opponent from running up the score on you is your job, not mine.

by Levander Williams on Sep 30, 2008 9:20 AM CDT reply actions  

That was not a blitz Klatt got hurt on. Kelson’s assignment was the RB, who stayed into block. When that happens, you rush the passer. Dumbass Puffs don’t know the difference.

And Kelson did not spear Klatt. Klatt turned his head at the last moment, causing him to get popped on the chin. Bad luck. It was obviously not intentional if you watch the replay.
