Liveblogging Texas against Baylor
I’m doing what?
This will be a slaughter, but hopefully it will give us a chance to see some of the secondary packages duane Akina will use against Texas Tech.
Fittingly sponsored by Hampton Inn and Keystone Light, the cornerstone of any weekend in Waco.
We have Chris Ogbonnaya returning kicks. Seriously.
Conscious effort to get the ball to Finley. Thrown at him 3 times, 1 completed.
Inevitable fake field goal coming up.
And there it is. Ruled uncatchable. Four passes to Finley now.
Texas is in cover 2. Baylor qb just threw up a punt and completed it.
Baylor QB’s timing is off. Behind on the slants.
And Baylor misses their field goal.
Nice block by Lokey out of the I.
Baylor DT read the screen.
McCoy isn’t sharp. We’ll blame it on the wind.
This camera work would make Sam Fuller envious.
Blitzing Bobino gets us nothing. Nothing.
Chiles is in. With the second team offensive line. Would it kill us to get him some snaps with the first team?
The over/under on the number of times Mack Brown will mention the wind is 6.
Vondrell McGee needs to get the ball with his shoulders square. He’s a north-south runner.
See. Eighteen yard run.
Chiles one hops his first pass attempt. At some point he’s going to need to get more attempts. If not against Baylor, then who?
Field goal good from 46 yards. 3-0 Texas.
Backup linebackers are in. Norton and Kindle.
This game is Southwest Conference painful to watch.
Nice to be able to see the secondary coverages. Would be even nicer to be able to see the players’ jersey numbers.
Get a false start penalty coming out of a timeout.
We hit Finley while he’s moving. Are we allowed to do that?
Broken play. Interception. Shit! Now what do we do?!
Baylor runs a screen on our blitz. Did you notice Kindle turn and catch the runner from behind? And the runner stays down.
Interception by Norton. Bench him.
Iowa State is beating OU 7-0.
Texas going for it on 4th and goal.
Wow. We are a comedy of errors.
Who didn’t see that coming? Duane Akina, that’s who.
Colt is not sharp. And when he isn’t, we’re fucked on offense.
Iowa State just picked off Sam Bradford.
Busted play, good run by Colt.
Should be a touchdown by Nate Jones. It is.
Ben Alexander is going to be a player for us.
Baylor player went the wrong way, or that slip screen would have gone for a big gain. When we blitz, we only hurt ourselves.
Bobino is hurt. Coaches will continue to play him by putting his hospital bed directly behind Okam and Lokey.
We drop Lokey into coverage. Somehow the tight end finds an opening in his zone.
Another blitz, another completion for Baylor.
We only bring four, and Houston gets the sack.
What have the last two plays taught us?
We rush four again and get a coverage sack.
Eureka!
Guess Jared Norton figured out his coverage drops.
Baylor receives to start the second half.
Hubble Space Telescope resumes camera work.
Norton and Lokey read the screen on 3rd down, and Baylor punts. The play before we ran a zone blitz with Orakpo dropping, and that makes a hell of a lot more sense than Lokey dropping.
McCoy throws it into quadruple coverage, and Baylor picks it. Never saw the MLB drop. Just like the James Laurinitis interception in the Ohio State game last year.
Bullshit personal foul on Kindle. We had Lokey covering the guy out of the backfield. I’m not making this up.
Norton reads the shovel pass, gets past two blockers and makes the tackle along with Sam Acho.
Reverse to Shipley. Fools no one.
Second penalty on this drive to go along with one fumble. And we punt.
OMG! We fake it! Second fake against Baylor. Baylor.
McCoy with another good scramble off a broken play. It’s our only running game at this point.
The announcer just said the words ‘Greg Davis understands’ and ‘red zone’ in the same sentence.
3rd and 4 at the Baylor 14. Jones reception, and it’s first and goal at the 3.
Great blocks by Finley and Charlie Tanner.
OU just went up 14-7 on Iowa State.
Versus gave Dennis Miller his own sports show. I can’t possibly see how that could fail.
Bobino tries to run underneath a block. Killibrew decides to just run into one.
Nice tackle by Ishie O#$@#%%.
This is the live-blogging equivalent of the Bataan Death March.
Baylor player gets the sack and flashes the ‘Horns down. His teammates don’t have the heart to tell him the score.
Turns out he’s a vet who served in Iraq. Making fun of him means I don’t support the troops.
Better put on a tiny American flag lapel pin.

That was about a six yard punt.
Nice open field whiff by Killibrew. But he had the correct drop.
Baylor makes it 17-10 on a field goal.
Iowa St 1st and 10 on the OU 30.
Our running game has struck an iceberg.
Finley is at his most dangerous with his back to the defense.
Iowa St 1st and goal on the OU 7.
Sooners get an int in the end zone.
If Ishie was a senior, he’d be starting.
Deon Beasley with the int. Almost pulled a Jim Marshall.
We finally get a turnover when it matters.
Another offensive penalty. You can get away with that when you’re name is Justin Blalock.
Great catch by Charles. A 10.3 100m runner matched up against a caucasian linebacker.
Touchdown.
Missouri runs an int back for an early 7-0 lead over Tech.
Lots of backups in on defense. Norton, Melton, Kelson. Maybe we just like having guys whose last name ends in ‘on.’ Houston is out there as well. That must be it.
Marcus Griffin runs back an int for a touchdown.
Notre Dame players are wearing green jerseys. Charlie Weiss thinks they’re lettuce and refuses to get near them.
Interviewing Roger Clemens now. Clemens’ answers are high and inside.
This game has lasted 3 1/2 hours.
Bobino runs himself out of the play.
A&M leading Nebraska 16-14 at the half.
Our DEs keep getting held, but the refs are all like ‘fuck it.’
Another meaningless int for Griffin.
October 20, 2007 at 8:37 am
prepare to be overloaded today since the hamster powering hornfans had a heart attack this morning
October 20, 2007 at 8:42 am
Apparently the camera guy is in the last row of the upper deck.
October 20, 2007 at 8:42 am
oh my god this camera work is horrible
October 20, 2007 at 8:44 am
no…i think the camera guy is from the goodyear blimp
October 20, 2007 at 8:45 am
has to be.. floyd casey isn’t big enough to create a camera angle that bad
October 20, 2007 at 8:47 am
No good. We will score on this drive.
October 20, 2007 at 8:49 am
It looks like the Big 12 consulted Mack Brown and Bill Little when coming up with the “Be a Good Sport” ad. They should have added some claps.
October 20, 2007 at 8:56 am
WTF is wrong with Hornfans? It is anemic like our offense.
October 20, 2007 at 8:57 am
Oh, and nice punt coverage.
October 20, 2007 at 8:59 am
Bobino blitzing right into the center. Good to see some things never change.
October 20, 2007 at 9:01 am
Shocking, with Chiles and our second team offensive line, we can’t run for dick against Baylor. Does that have anything to do with the fact that they know we’ll never pass it with Chiles?
October 20, 2007 at 9:02 am
East Meets West
October 20, 2007 at 9:02 am
I got the over.
October 20, 2007 at 9:06 am
You’re hosed.
October 20, 2007 at 9:07 am
Alright, that looks pretty fucking windy. Those goalposts are swaying like a stripper.
October 20, 2007 at 9:07 am
ISU is up on OU by 7
October 20, 2007 at 9:08 am
These guys are making Fox Sports look good.
October 20, 2007 at 9:09 am
Yes, let’s make Chiles throw it on the run going to his left. Great play calling Greg.
Ryan Bailey is my fucking hero.
October 20, 2007 at 9:10 am
I have absolutely no confidence in Chiles’ ability to throw the ball. He looks less and less like a QB every time that I watch him.
Also, Ryan Bailey is awesome.
October 20, 2007 at 9:11 am
its Baylor, so we get Jesus’s camera angle
October 20, 2007 at 9:11 am
So which offense has more first downs so far?
October 20, 2007 at 9:12 am
w00t - fumble
October 20, 2007 at 9:14 am
bullshit
October 20, 2007 at 9:15 am
wow what a terrible call.
October 20, 2007 at 9:15 am
VS’s cameras are so shitty the refs can’t make the right call.
October 20, 2007 at 9:19 am
I absofuckinglutely HATE that Big 12 cooking commercial.
October 20, 2007 at 9:21 am
Non-HD football = shitty.
October 20, 2007 at 9:23 am
I blame the wind for that INT.
October 20, 2007 at 9:24 am
Shitty pass but that DB took it right out of Finley’s hands.
October 20, 2007 at 9:25 am
Why does it keep saying “Bay Bears” on the scoreboard right before tv breaks?
October 20, 2007 at 9:25 am
I think it was Kindle that almost killed that kid.
October 20, 2007 at 9:27 am
McCoy’s pocket was intact and he just start running to his right. I understand that’s mostly served him well, but gratuitous happy feet is discouraged for a reason. Not a good throw, made lousy because McCoy was attempting to throw while running.
October 20, 2007 at 9:28 am
right back at ya baylor
October 20, 2007 at 9:29 am
Norton with the INT. Can he cook though?
October 20, 2007 at 9:29 am
McCoy is so used to getting obliterated if he stands in the pocket for more than 2 seconds that he just takes off if nobody is immediately open.
And Norton with a pic. Killebrew would have dropped it then turned it into a stew.
October 20, 2007 at 9:29 am
The reps Beasley’s received had meant development. Great to see.
October 20, 2007 at 9:30 am
The Quan with an amazing catch
October 20, 2007 at 9:30 am
holy shit cosby is a freak of nature
October 20, 2007 at 9:30 am
Quan is disgustingly good. He may not be real explosive but he’ll definitely find a place in the NFL.
October 20, 2007 at 9:30 am
How in the hell did The Quan catch that?
October 20, 2007 at 9:32 am
Guy Morriss looks like Buddy Garrity minus 20 pounds.
October 20, 2007 at 9:34 am
Gotta love the Baylor player kicking the ball after it’s been spotted by the ref.
October 20, 2007 at 9:35 am
McCoy is a shiftier runner than Chiles today.
October 20, 2007 at 9:36 am
We play cover 2 really poorly. We don’t jam receivers or get the safeties deep enough. But at least we’re playing it.
October 20, 2007 at 9:37 am
I am following the game on ESPN GameCast and it says Earl Thomas is 6-11 passing for 56 yards and one INT.
October 20, 2007 at 9:38 am
all colt had to do there was float it
October 20, 2007 at 9:38 am
oh. my. god.
October 20, 2007 at 9:39 am
That’s it, I’m turning this shit off.
October 20, 2007 at 9:39 am
Unbelievable.
Why didn’t we just fake another FG?
October 20, 2007 at 9:40 am
lol
October 20, 2007 at 9:41 am
That touchdown was a nice preview of the Texas Tech game.
October 20, 2007 at 9:42 am
I think Colt’s drunk.
October 20, 2007 at 9:42 am
Both safeties blew it on that play. Couldn’t tell which was which but I think Jackson whiffed on the tackle and Griffin just ran right into a blocker for no reason.
Meanwhile, Killebrew only showed up in the bottom of the frame after the WR was already in the end zone.
October 20, 2007 at 9:43 am
Harrell and Crabtree are going to have a field day against Akina.
If Akina is still the DC next year I will be shocked. Well, not really shocked, but I’ll be pissed.
October 20, 2007 at 9:46 am
Prepare to be pissed.
October 20, 2007 at 9:46 am
I picked a bad day to give up LSD.
October 20, 2007 at 9:47 am
I think our safeties were playing run support on that Baylor score.
October 20, 2007 at 9:48 am
How is Baylor getting all this pressure?
October 20, 2007 at 9:48 am
Well one of the safeties flat out missed a tackle on the WR (like Bobino on Murray’s TD a few weeks ago).
Meanwhile, fucking Baylor is getting to our QB. I don’t know if I can handle this shit.
October 20, 2007 at 9:48 am
that was a nice pump fake
October 20, 2007 at 9:49 am
40 yards of running for a 1.5 yard gain.
October 20, 2007 at 9:50 am
Someone please give Charles a compass that only has a North/South on it.
October 20, 2007 at 9:50 am
Please let this be on Baylor.
October 20, 2007 at 9:50 am
Kelly Stouffer is an idiot.
October 20, 2007 at 9:51 am
That’s a TD
October 20, 2007 at 9:51 am
Someone please explain to me why pass interference in the end zone doesn’t put the ball at the 1? College PI rules suck.
Nate had that ball.
October 20, 2007 at 9:52 am
yesssssir
October 20, 2007 at 9:52 am
Yay1 US
October 20, 2007 at 9:52 am
Wow. The refs made a correct call.
October 20, 2007 at 10:03 am
Does this mean play for a LB who hasn’t spilt blood for us?
October 20, 2007 at 10:04 am
We don’t have an answer for Baylor’s offense. How is that?
October 20, 2007 at 10:05 am
Derry, whiffed. But I repeat myself.
October 20, 2007 at 10:05 am
Why isn’t that grounding?
October 20, 2007 at 10:06 am
I think Mack is having a heart attack.
October 20, 2007 at 10:10 am
Wow. We didn’t let an opponent convert on third and forever. Evidently, Baylor doesn’t have Matt Jones at QB.
October 20, 2007 at 10:10 am
If I were Baylor, I would just keep exploting Akers on Derry. Not everyone in the country gets Mack’s super secret game tape.
October 20, 2007 at 10:11 am
Norton once again showing how bad our back-up LBs are in the passing game.
October 20, 2007 at 10:12 am
WTF kind of play call is that with under a minute to go? Trying to score or just trying not to?
October 20, 2007 at 10:12 am
Seriously, the coaches are going to have a worse time making up shit this week.
October 20, 2007 at 10:13 am
“Norton once again showing how bad our back-up LBs are in the passing game.”
Heh. And he had his back to the play.
October 20, 2007 at 10:13 am
“Seriously, the coaches are going to have a worse time making up shit this week.”
No they wont. They’ll say the same thing.
October 20, 2007 at 10:15 am
Just get down there. The clock would have had 10-11 seconds and a chance at the end zone instead of just a missed FG.
October 20, 2007 at 10:45 am
Colt’s nearly our leading tackler.
October 20, 2007 at 10:56 am
The Versus guy apparently does not do research.
October 20, 2007 at 10:58 am
Can we petition to have the football field flipped so that the sidelines are the endzone?
October 20, 2007 at 11:00 am
Opie skipping stones again.
October 20, 2007 at 11:00 am
Delay of Game is our middle name. I guess it beats Ignacio.
October 20, 2007 at 11:00 am
this is sickening.
October 20, 2007 at 11:02 am
Go West young man.
October 20, 2007 at 11:04 am
Are there college football gamblers that still have money?
October 20, 2007 at 11:05 am
JC has like 230 yards running E/W
October 20, 2007 at 11:07 am
The fact that UT is facing a crucial 3rd down late in the 3rd quarter is disgusting.
October 20, 2007 at 11:12 am
Doing what Erick Jackson has not been. Nice.
October 20, 2007 at 11:13 am
Ishie, that is
October 20, 2007 at 11:17 am
Jamaal Charles has regressed. The latest in a long line under this fuckstick staff.
October 20, 2007 at 11:21 am
Do we get our punters from the Special Olympics?
October 20, 2007 at 11:23 am
Nice tackle, Kill.
October 20, 2007 at 11:25 am
I just had a vision of Killibrew trying to catch Crabtree. I go ni-ni now.
October 20, 2007 at 11:26 am
Did I just see Goldilocks on the Baylor offense?
October 20, 2007 at 11:27 am
The Baylor WR dropped a pass but was WIDE open. GREAT D!!!!
October 20, 2007 at 11:28 am
What was the line on this game?
October 20, 2007 at 11:29 am
The dropped pass is our most effective weapon on D today.
October 20, 2007 at 11:30 am
And our worst offensive play.
October 20, 2007 at 11:30 am
Versus has the longest commercial breaks known to man.
October 20, 2007 at 11:32 am
Is our OL really this lame?
October 20, 2007 at 11:33 am
Maybe Baylor is better than we thought. BWAHAHAHAHAHA
October 20, 2007 at 11:34 am
In Saudia Arabia they kill your 1st born when you run a 3 yd route on 3rd and 5.
October 20, 2007 at 11:34 am
“This is the live-blogging equivalent of the Bataan Death March.”
Looks like somebody was paying attention during Ken Burns’s “The War”.
October 20, 2007 at 11:35 am
Or he actually went to class.
October 20, 2007 at 11:36 am
“Looks like somebody was paying attention during Ken Burns’s “The War”.”
Careful - I DVRed that series and haven’t watched the last two episodes. No spoilers, please!
October 20, 2007 at 11:42 am
Ullman is Swedish for “Son of the yellow flag maker.”
October 20, 2007 at 11:46 am
“Horns have breathing room,” was uttered midway into the 4th quarter AGAINST BAYLOR.
GDMFS
October 20, 2007 at 12:03 pm
What’s the line, 24.5? I’ll laugh my ass off if we get the ball back and kick a field goal.
October 20, 2007 at 2:11 pm
Ken Burns’ The War Spoiler
We win.
October 21, 2007 at 4:56 pm
I haven’t been THIS pissed off at a game (meaning the coaching / playcalling / execution) in a LONG time.
October 21, 2007 at 5:14 pm
The play calling was bad but we are just not that good this year
October 21, 2007 at 5:18 pm
were the sideline cameras in Austin
