Bedlam and Holgo

Twitter is the new mail bag.

This came across the wire today: Bedlam overtakes Oklahoma-Texas as Big 12's most anticipated football game.

Or as we call it, Texas/OU.

When I first read the title and realized it was from our old friend Berry Tramel, I was pissed.

Then I read it.

And got pissed off again.

He's right. The Sooners have a quarterback some think is better that Andrew Luck (cough) and are a preseason #1 ranking according to the gambling degenerates.

Pokes have T. Boone.

And Chris Weinke.

But what they don't have is Holgo. Holgo has been, busy... Check with The Smoking Musket for the latest (including video).

There's also more Barry Tramel on the father / son relationship that developed between Holgo and Gundy. Or Gundy and Holgo. Offensive Think-tank.

But most importantly please do check out Cowboys Ride For Free, where they have a cross-section of Dana Holgorsen's brain.

Seriously, click that. I don't want to steal their thunder.

“The Brain of Dana Holgorsen” left out what the gray area represents.

It must be a family site.

Obviously this HCIW shit works… just not always in the same place.

The Pokes have a lot of talent returning, but I don’t think the loss of Holgo can be overstated. And has anyone ever heard of a school having a returning student teach their offensive system to a new coaching hire? I still don’t understand the logic there.

Good. The Sooners will look past us. A new Shipley burns their land thieving butts and we leave Dallas unbeaten and ranked in the top five.

Sorry. It’s 58 degrees and my mind can’t handle the chill.

I don’t think it’s insane to teach one guy a new offense rather than 85 guys a new offense. I think Gundy is ok with it because his QB is 37. If he were 19 I doubt we would have done it this way.

In the first year after Fedora left the offense was fine. I think Gundy gets a bad rap for 09 without Dez and Hunter for most of the year and a broken down Robinson at QB for the last several games. We will be fine on O, as always, the question will be what the hell are we going to do on defense?
