  1. Game Thread FIESTA BOWL: tOSU 21, Texas 24 (01-05-09)

    As a Texas fan, I can only say in massive amounts of gratitude and humility, THANK YOU Buckeyes, for yet another classic. I know you don't want to hear it and its horrible to stomach, but you guys ABSOLUTELY deserved it as much as we did. We just happened to have our offense click for our on...

    In regards to the Mack-before-Vince discussion, Vince Young just happened to be the 'tip of the iceberg' as the most visible and positive change in a Texas program that desperately needed changes to become the best of the best, but make no mistake; there were many other wholesale changes that...

    Just a comment on the stats argument of a few pages back. As Powair pointed out, stats can represent nonsense if that is the intention, so they are not 100% falsifiable. Like he said, they are basically saying " Truth is True." Well, great, sure thats 'correct' but its nonsense because it...

    Are you seriously chasitizing someone for saying Jamaal Charles is a Heisman caliber running back? Do you just dig up quips that tickle your fancy no matter how far under the rug in the conversation they are, just so you can get your little negative 2 cents in?? I'm appologize, I'm not trying...

    Ha. Thanks for the Burgundy correction. I think what I meant to say was "Having never played like 2005 in previous years, with comparable or better talent in all of them, a talent disparity was never one of the reasons we failed to perform the same."
  6. Game Thread Game Two: #1 Ohio State 24, #2 Texas 7 (9/9/06)

    The Chris Simms' led Longhorn teams were just as talented if not more so than the 2005 squad, and had its equal share of sniffing national championships. We never played close to the WAY the 2005 team played for multiple reasons, however, not the least was talent. It was something bigger and...

    Despite my original skepticism, after seeing him in person, I agree with others that Colt is one of the most accurate young passers I've seen in a long time. He is playing like everything we could possibly hope for in a VY replacement heading into the season. This team, read 'team' not QB, has...
  8. Game Thread Game Two: #1 Ohio State 24, #2 Texas 7 (9/9/06)

    Wow, maybe I shouldn't post while drinking. My logic goes to shit. I guess my point is that I believe its less likely for Colt to screw up than for tOSU's new defense to be successful as a unit because its harder to get a new defense on the same page early than it is to get a talented QB, albeit...
  9. Game Thread Game Two: #1 Ohio State 24, #2 Texas 7 (9/9/06)

    Sorry, I made some revisions to my post because I realized I was stumbling over my words. The point I'm trying to make it that "team" matters, and what is the essence of a "team?" Well, people working together for one. Offense and defense are not the same, however, they still rely on cordinating...
  10. Game Thread Game Two: #1 Ohio State 24, #2 Texas 7 (9/9/06)

    The only reason I compare the Texas QB to the tOSU D, is that assuming comparable chances for success and failure for both squads, the Texas QB has the advantage. Reason being: the liability of a QB is judged by his ability, as an individual, to distribute the ball to the rest of his teamates...

    Texas media guide based on weigh-ins and such, has him at 236 lbs. Thats what he claims in recent reports as well. And at 6'5 (not sure he's 6'6 yet), thats a solid-ass frame thats probably only going to continue to build lean mass. May not look it, but I dont see it as that much of a stretch...
  12. Game Thread Game Two: #1 Ohio State 24, #2 Texas 7 (9/9/06)

    See I'm really not. Nobody expects the freshmen to be anything other than freshmen, and in spite of that, we'd have a great chance to compete given our defense, skill positions, cohesion, and home field assuming they didn't totally self-destruct. It has been said over and over that the key to...
  13. Game Thread Game Two: #1 Ohio State 24, #2 Texas 7 (9/9/06)

    You'd like to hope so, wouldn't you.... Fact is, Colt could very well be better than a backup 5th year senior, or a younger guy who had taken snaps last year had we had one, have beaten him out in the spring, and we'd still basically be starting with a QB who'd never taken a snap, but by most...

    Question for Buckeyes regarding 2004 defensive team which preceded what was largely considered one of the best defenses ever in 2005: What kind of similarities did you see from that team that led you to expect such great things for the following year? Did that team perform in such a way that you...
