We're going to do this a little different than the media in that we'll try to fill out a depth chart versus 5 left tackles and 7 safeties. It's hard to beat someone that way, and our goal is to put together an all star team to play the SEC, Pac 2, and Big 2. We'll assume a left tackle could play right tackle, a NG could play a 3 technique, and safeties are of

I botched the DVRing of the Baylor game, and the future seems to be intriguing me more. Great game by the Bears, and the Art Briles/Robert Griffin duo will have Baylor bowl eligible within the next 2 seasons, if not next year. The Tech team won't fall off the face of the Earth as predicted in 2009, and how the turnover battle plays out, will determine whether an 8-4 or 10-2 season is in store. Let's take a

I don't like to put things like this off, so despite my state upon return last night, I woke up early, watched the game until Joey Hazle came in, and am ready to get this thing out of the way. First off, my hats off to Bob Stoops, Kevin Wilson and Brent Venables along with all the OU players. Within 2 weeks, you assembled and executed the perfect gameplan to properly dismantle this Texas Tech

As most of you are aware, I have some kind of strange fixation on line play due primarily to my background as a lineman, and my therefore, deeply imbedded distrust of the consistency in skill players. Both Tech and OU recruit their players from the same talent pool in Texas, a place where quality D-I skill players reside like fire ants. There are plenty to go around, and in most cases, Texas, OU, OSU and Tech will be

Big Picture

It becomes very difficult to secure a victory against Texas Tech, if you can’t maintain your rhythm at the Red Raider offense’s scoring pace. The game plays out like a drum-off between Neil Peart and Rick Allen. Allen can hang for a while, but when Peart gets to his solo, Rick’s going to need that extra arm.

Alright, I've over-discussed this subject, but I'm getting more beatdowns than I can efficiently respond to in a day. So, I'll walk you through my logic and maybe you'll at least understand where I'm coming from. I'm a trench guy. Much like Terry Bowden, I'm a firm believer that you must win the scorecard in this part of the game to give yourself a chance at winning. About 7 or 8 years ago a high

A Trench Affair To Remember Damn, what a dramatic finish and we tried our best to tighten up and blow this thing. I've had a chance to review the game and it revealed a lot of inaccuracies I had in my generalizations from watching it live. DVR has changed the game of football for me. In lieu of something overly sentimental or a lame attempt at humor, I just decided to jump right in this thing. I think the Red

This will be easier than you think, if we can do two things: 1. Overload the run to stop Hunter. 2. Double team Bryant. Pettigrew as well in the red zone. Make Zac Robinson hold onto the ball and beat you by reading coverages and making tough throws. He throws two passes well: 1. The deep ball/fade to Dez Bryant, for which the punter would suffice. 2. Playaction rollout with passes to the flat. Cody Hawkins is the
