Orange & White Game Open Thread

LHN is debuting a new system at the stadium, which will black out (jam) all cell phone signals. This is intended to prevent unauthorized reportage that has been threatened by numerous non-subscribers.

Can you add David Ash and JUCO - LT Donald Hawkins to the list of those you will be watching closely? Seems to me they are critical question marks for the 2012 season.

Thanks. Looking forward to your report.

Will definitely be checking out Moore and Hawkins.

Kicking off in 5. They just unveiled Ricky’s statue, dreads and all. Pretty cool.

It’s right by the southwest corner entrance.

All good weight. He must be happy to be off the 260 lb diet.

So that’s fun.

Against 2nd team D.

Loss of 1 on next play and and end around to Shipley gains 4 on second down.

Ash runs for 7 up the gut on a delayed scramble.

DJ Monroe houses one for 60 on a jet sweep off left tackle. Waited for blocks to set up and burned the secondary.

Against 1st team D. Byndom would have fought off that block.

Right over perfect coverage from Duke Thomas.

Money pass. Very confident.

Or duke thomas sucks. Or something in between.

Will Russ is absolutely booming the kickoffs and punts.

But Case clearly doesn’t have the arm to be our QB unless we go to an exclusively short passing game.

Bobbles the pick.

“Case is mess”, says LonghornScott.

Terrible pass into double coverage. Wasn’t erin close to Mike Davis.

Had Shipley open underneath.

They have Mack Brown piped right into the broadcast from the field. That is pretty cool.

Got Caught quickly but Had separation from the LBs inside safeties and made a nice catch.

Trucks a safety spins out for 3 more on a poorly blocked play. 3rd and goal. End of first quarter.

And he ran with it. This time he chucked a perfect 40 yard pass to Grant who came from the other side of the field.

Next play Mykelle Thompson houses the kickoff right up the gut.

nordberg can be heard screaming Y2K and is embarrassing his daughter.

Hard to say who they would fare against first team.

Less than zero sum game.

Bla bla bla Brewer TD on a fade to McCrary bla bla bla

Check out the Box score this time last year. We are easily 5x better on offense.

20 yards to Hales ( caught D on a fire zone blitz)

And 45 yards to Hills who made a great read on the cutback. Both plays well blocked by 3 nd team OL vs first team D.

Ash scrambles around the edge for a 1 yard TD.

Pretty vanilla packages though.

Back to 3’s on 3’s. We might be done here…

34-21 Texas over Horns.

No other reason for him to not be in.

depth. The coaches admitted today that we aren’t a solid two deep on either side of the ball, which is their goal. Still atoning for past sins there, but help continues to come. We will be a damned good team by season’s end unless we have OL/QB injury.

I got to meet Longhorn Scott and the legendary Vasherized at an IT tailgate and sat with them during the game. Nice folks, but I expected Vash to show in a pink polo with upturned collar, chino shorts and deck shoes—-all I got was the deck shoes. Oh, well. :>)

’Twas a pleasure to meet you both!

If you check out the other teams blogs, you will discover theirs as well.

I think this season boils down to whether or not our strengths diminish our weaknesses and overcome the other teams strengths as well as take advange of THEIR weaknesses.

So, this is my appeal to the mods here - ScipioTex and Longhorn Scott in particular - give us a detailed article comparing UT to the other teams - position by position and conclude with your honest take on who will most likely win the game!

I, for one, would love to hear everyones opinion on this!

and call the series State Of The Union (insert school name). They could even let dedfischer pitch in.
