At least Big12 refs don’t hit players in the nutz with flags like the SEC does. Those guys are brutal.

Ressing weighs 200lbs, allegedly, and should not ever be able to run the option on us.

ABC is giving us Oregon-Arizona regionally here in DC, so I dialed up the coordinates on one of our station’s satellites in order to watch tonight’s Texas game. ABC is having a “run through” of their pre-game elements and they toss down to Shelly Smith practicing her live hit.
She suddenly turns and says, “Mark Mangino joins me now,” only to have the camera zoom out where a Texas state trooper is standing next to her. The guy is playing along and answering her questions with responses like:
“Well, things are tough around here. But uh… um… you know, one game at a time.”
“l like our quarterback. He’s got a good arm and nice feet.”
Highly entertaining, Scipio.
by Cricketslayer on Nov 21, 2009 7:14 PM CST reply actions
Scip —
We always come out in this soft base defense on the first drive. I think Muschamp likes to see the adjustments the other team has already made before he shows any wrinkles.

ghost –
No, not so much vanilla. I’m saying we didn’t line up correctly. Our LBs didn’t understand the strength of the 3rd down formation Kansas ran out of for the easy first.
We’re also undermanned weakside when they ran the Sharp option. Muckelroy should have been three steps closer to the sideline.
by Scipio Tex on Nov 21, 2009 7:20 PM CST reply actions
Mangino: “Well Shelly, I’m the best thing in KU football history, so whatever these little podunk pissants leak to the media you have to remember that they were nothing before I found them and that’s what they’ll be if they run me off. Wanna get nachos?”

Good to see Chiles ignoring Colt as they head off the sideline. That plus the early punt plus giving up the big return = a great start to senior day!

You’re quite welcome, Scip. OH, one more thing.
I don’t know if you heard the national anthem, but it appeared to be sung by an opera singer. While beautiful, it was also particularly long and drawn out. After it’s over, Ron Franklin sarcastically quips off-camera:
“My God, I nearly experienced my first overtime during the national anthem.”
Great stuff.

Hmm — let’s count Goodwin and Williams touches.

It’s as if Chiles and Kirkendoll compete each week to be my least favorite player.
by Cricketslayer on Nov 21, 2009 7:29 PM CST reply actions
Will we pull our head out of our asses? I say no. Umm — stretch play for Cody Johnson on first down. 5 yard standstill out to Kirkendoll on second down. Bubble screen for zero yards on 3rd down. My predictions.
by ghostofagroundgame on Nov 21, 2009 7:29 PM CST reply actions
Chiles touches = not much.
Goodwin touch = 34 yards.
HINT!
by BEHorn on Nov 21, 2009 7:30 PM CST reply actions
One touch for Goodwin equals 34 yards.
by ghostofagroundgame on Nov 21, 2009 7:30 PM CST reply actions
Goodwin!!! That’s a fucking receiver. Made lemonade out of our complete lemon of a WR screen play design.

I say unfortunately only bc it will buy him more playing time.

More bad news for KU. Lubbock Smith can expect a finger in the chest and a ghetto quote from Mangina. If he doesn’t get up.

I’ll bet Mangino is acting like he gives a shit about the injured player in order to help save his job when he probably sucker punched that guy before the game.

Mangino: “Get your punk-ass up or I’ll send you back to the ghetto to get shot w/your homies”

When Mangino stood over his injured player and looked down, I have to confess that I wondered if Mangino could see him. (“Hey, wasn’t there a kid on the ground here a minute ago?”)

Colt does not throw the best deep ball.

Those are two yard runs. Those are acceptable. 4 yard runs are “EXPLOSIVE” plays.

Clutch catch for Shipley. Again. However, I can’t help but think that real competition will be able to shut the McCoy Shipley connection down. We like need a run game.
UH OH! Not the Tuck Rule?

Given our defense’s success after offensive turnovers, I am strangely not worried.

That reminded me of that bizarre attempt Colt made to shovel the ball off as he was going down vs. OU. Very bad decision making.

BEHorn….what I AM worried about is TCU jumping us. Or Mangina eating one of our LBs.

Especially now that Muschamp has a TO, courtesy of Kansas, to plot the consumption of Reesing’s soul.
On the break a fat joke: Remember the movie “seven pounds”? In Mangino’s case, it’s “174 Pounds”
by BEHorn on Nov 21, 2009 7:45 PM CST reply actions
Colt has not taken very good care of the ball this year. 20 TDs and 9 INTs. And anyone who has watched knows he could easily have 15 INTs but has benefitted from some serious drops.
by ghostofagroundgame on Nov 21, 2009 7:45 PM CST reply actions
Jesus H. Christ. Great call? There was a HUGE hole for the RB if he had handed off.
by Mike on Nov 21, 2009 7:46 PM CST reply actions
Mike – I wouldn’t worry about it. TCU will suffer the slings and arrows of the computers for playing Wyoming (whereas we’ve already suffered that), and the voters aren’t apt to drop us if — excuse me, “when” — we win.
by BEHorn on Nov 21, 2009 7:46 PM CST reply actions
Dude, Mangina’s soul weighs less than the average person’s. Not sure what that does for your joke. Perhaps when Mangina dies the Earth will have to get together and decide where he’s buried. It might affect, like, the shifting magnetic field.
by Mike on Nov 21, 2009 7:48 PM CST reply actions
Three and out, plus turnover, plus long return. And we haven’t given up a point. I love this defense, but our offense has got to improve.
by ghostofagroundgame on Nov 21, 2009 7:48 PM CST reply actions
This is the only game left that has the potential of being a “letdown” game. We’ll be ready for A&M and every game after that.
So let’s put this thing away.
by Cricketslayer on Nov 21, 2009 7:48 PM CST reply actions
BEHorn,
I’m more worried about how “pretty” our win is. Oh, and the fact that we can’t run the fucking football.
by Mike on Nov 21, 2009 7:49 PM CST reply actions
Hell, I always worry about playing in College Station. Remember the 5 second late hit on Colt that made him retarded for the next year and a half?
by ghostofagroundgame on Nov 21, 2009 7:49 PM CST reply actions
Mike — “Seven Pounds” was about the weight of one’s innards. “21 Grams” referred to the weight of the soul; which, in Mangino’s case, is only about 1.3 Grams (slightly less than the Grinch’s).
Don’t worry too much about pretty at this point. Win, and in.
by BEHorn on Nov 21, 2009 7:50 PM CST reply actions
OMG. The girls on KU’s cheerleading squad are ugly. Perhaps Sahsa could weigh in on their guys.

can’t stop wondering which restaurant’s menu Mangino is carrying on the sideline.
by Txcastle on Nov 21, 2009 7:51 PM CST reply actions
Not to distract from this thrilling game, but how much DOES Mangina weigh? Do we have scales capable of registering it? Would he have to stand on a flat bed semi trailer and pass through one of those weigh stations? Or do astrophysicists just have to estimate based on red shift and shit?
by Mike on Nov 21, 2009 7:53 PM CST reply actions
The holds on that play were ridiculous.
by ghostofagroundgame on Nov 21, 2009 7:53 PM CST reply actions
Mangino wants a review because he’s not done calling Meier a dumb white fuck.
by BEHorn on Nov 21, 2009 7:53 PM CST reply actions
He threatens Meier with anal rape from the linebacker he just threatened with AIDS. Mangino is a next-level kind of sh#t talker.
by ghostofagroundgame on Nov 21, 2009 7:55 PM CST reply actions
Understatement of the night (and the last comment I’ll make on the subject): Mangina is one fat motherfucker.
Oh, and for those of you who don’t have ABC, KU just kicked a FG. 7-3 Texas.
by Mike on Nov 21, 2009 7:55 PM CST reply actions
He’s not tall, either. That mass is scrunched in a vessel way south of 6’.

If he was any shorter, he’d be a singularity.
by Mike on Nov 21, 2009 7:56 PM CST reply actions
And I have not remotely begun to dog Mangino for being a tub o’ vicious lard. Did you know his name is a contraction of “Mange” and “gino”, which means “I eat Italian boys for lunch”?
by BEHorn on Nov 21, 2009 7:57 PM CST reply actions
He really does weigh near 400 lbs. Has to. Bet he has a special plane seat and everything.

The holding is out of control. It’s on par with tech tackling Orakpo every down last year.

Shipley needs to not be returning kicks in a relatively unimportant game. Particularly since he keeps screwing them up.

The thing that pisses me off about this is that we have another game in five days. So I’d rather jump all over them and rest starters. And now we won’t be able to do it because we’ve been so flat offensively. Which means that we needlessly risk injury — and the cover — all because we decided to sleep-walk through a half.

There are lots of technique issues with our line. But we also seem to blow a lot of assignments. And we do not adjust to shifts or blitzes at all. And everything is magnified without a true blocking back. It all adds up to disgrace, as far as I’m concerned.
I’ll say this — it’s in Colt’s head and he’s thinking about the blitz more than he’s thinking aboutn throwing the ball. He’s always been prone to that, and he’s got his head out of the game right now.

Im with you BE, but I think at this point this point it’s safe to assume the hot mess of our running game comes from a number of factors. Mack’s insistence and perpetual trump card playing when it comes to RB recruiting. Greg Davis’ choice of a mediocre rush scheme mixed again with poor personnel choices mixed further with terrible playcalling, and McWhorter throwing up his hands in the air after years of frustration.
Sure, the Studdard line was great, be Studdard and Lyle were like VY types of the OL: self starters who took it upon themsevles to kick ass and take names, like Earl Thomas and Muck on the D. Guys like that don’t come along all that often. We shouldn’t rely on the special players to have to be successful.

Ghost – not a drop, good play by the DB. Colt tends to throw a little behind the receiver on some of those post routes, which I attribute to his not doing it enough to really have the lead locked in. (We saw the effect of that a few times in the last couple of games.)

Ghost-
If memory serves, Rome got his fucking face beat in by Everett for his stupid comment. It’s not like anyone is going to transcend the Internet Tough Guy and fight you over your statement, because that’s ludicrous, but the point is that your statements towards Simms are obviously reviled by a majority of the people on this thread and considered contemptible. You statement says it all…you like Colt, so you would never call him Cart. But that’s the fucking point, isn’t it, if you did hate the guy because he’d poached your girlfriend or your mother or whatever the story is, you’d have no problems putting on your Aggy cloak and treating him with contempt.
Simms may not have ever been quite the QB we’d hope. He couldn’t look off his receivers, and he had some bad meltdowns in his time that cost us some big opportunities. But he’s still one of us. He chose to come here. And if you want to tell me the guy doesn’t have heart, well, show me another play who had their spleen eviscerated, took a knee, and then continued to play in an NFL game before having to be taken to a hospital and nearly dying after the fact, only to fight back to make an NFL roster and even start this weekend.

You don’t even know how to spell Longhorn. It’s one word, slappy. You’re hardly convincing anyone with efforts like that.

AZ is a PAT away from tying up the Ducks in OT.
Meanwhile, Mangino just heard the phrase “tying up the Ducks” and is heading off to a Chinese joint for some Peking canard.

So, I just saw highlights from the Ohio State game. For some reason, their pants made it look like they weren’t wearing any. Maybe it was the lighting, because I think they were supposed to be gray. Regardless, it looked like a bunch of half-naked men running around. I vote they start playing football like that from now on. You’d get a much larger female following.

You know who I think is solid for her role? The Emily chick who does Fox I think. May be the only thing I like about that telecast.
Lookswise she’s fairly plain, but she delivers the content.
In San Francisco, she’d be a borderline 7. I’m not kidding.

Now that order is restored, can we please link arms and chant Mangino fat jokes to the tune of Kum-Bay-Ya while rooting for Oregon to lose so we can see another Pac-10 fucktard of a team go down in flames?

The Salt Lick comes out the worse for that hypothetical encounter.
Meanwhile, AZ just kicked a FG on its second possession of OT, so now Oregon can go for a TD for the win.

Ha! You can ask ChrisApplewhite about my looks.
For the record, I’m 5’10, 140. I no longer have glasses since they broke, but I’m a contact wearer anyways. Plus, my glasses were the cute, chic glasses. The guys all liked them.

I go about 5’3", 320 lbs. But it’s just because I’m big-boned. And sedentary.

Normally having someone else of note vouch for a woman’s looks would be perfectly fine, but it is fair to point out that ChrisApplewhite has an unhealthy and borderline disturbing relationship with his rat terrier. His judgement could be questioned.

5’10" 140 reminds me of my youthful jones for volleyball players.

5’10 is a great height. All of my kids would dunk at age 10. At worse, I could unleash an army of Shawn Bradley-esque progeny. Without the magic underwear, of course.

I pay attention Sasha. You’re a welcome break from the cyber sword fighting that occasionally occurs here. And please continue your “Yes” touchdown celebrations. Getting aroused by a woman after a touchdown makes the arousal already occurring seem less gay.

The one thing about being on the wrong side of 40 is that your desire to be a cyber-stalker is about the same as your desire to take a shitload of ecstasy in Tijuana while hanging out in a donkey-show bar.

I’m sure you’re either too old or too young for me to really want you as a stalker. I’m 27, and it seems like the readership of this blog is either in the 40s or young 20s.

Ghost – when you and your friends wanted to make it with that cow … I want to hang out with you.
Sasha – yes, that ESPN thing pissed me off too. I don’t usually like to be a conspiracy theorist, but giving more airtime to St. Timmy’s TD run than to Colt setting an all-time record in collegiate football history is simply ridiculous. I know ESPN has a huge contract with the SEC, but still …

I just call it like I see it.
But, if you’re only 30, then I have no problem with you being a stalker, so long as you don’t happen to be the only other person who knows what I look like. I don’t know if he even reads this site anymore, but there is always the possibility…

That’s funny. He has insisted to me on multiple occasions that she’s uglier than Susan Boyle due to her personality. He also swears that Jennifer Garner bends genders, which is somewhat more believable. The man is confusing.

I can’t speak to the Garner thing, having only seen her in the Palisades. But she is somewhat dude-ish, at least from a distance.
One’s on-set personality isn’t necessarily the same as their in-party personality. In fact, they’re often pretty different. Once Hot Actress makes your life miserable in a business situation, it’s hard to look at her the same way again.

If anything, they should have a highlight from the Texas game in their top ten. At least give McCoy some love, either for the MW TD pass, or do one of their “special” top ten plays where they just recognize a great accomplishment. ESPN just angers me sometimes.

Florida whips up on CHATTANOOGA on they’re on the front page of ESPN.com because they’re “11-and-0.” Colt becomes the all-time wins leader (also making us 11-and-0), and he’s nowhere to be found. Typical.
