Messing with Texas: UT @ BYU

[Coach McGuirk]

I don't. Does anyone else remember seeing several teams bringing their flags into LES?

I think I remember seeing the FSU flag way too damn much a few years ago, so yes? Maybe it was a conference foe thing?

This is one of those critical issues that divert me from doing anything at work. I will contact the Athletic office to find out the answer and return and report.

Ask them about the jersey number while you're at it.

They do with plenty of PAC 12 logos.

Exactly.

ShaggyBevo's a great forum. If you have some time, look for the thread, "Shit I found using my metal detector" or something like that. Pure awesomeness.

They have a thread on there making fun of the statues the athletic dept put up of all the athletes that have been through UT over the years. They are all the same statue, painted a little differently and I could not stop laughing when I went throug the thread.

At the start of this video you can see part of the FSU flag.

By not passing, was BYU RUTS?

[Texas] set a dreadful program record in surrendering 550 rushing yards to a Cougars team that appears to have figured out the read-option offense almost literally overnight. Leading the charge for BYU: quarterback Taysom Hill, who ran for 259 yards on a mere 17 carries. As a team, the Cougs averaged 7.6 yards per carry. All of which brings us to this morbid contemplation: Was there a point Saturday night at which BYU coaches could've made a legitimate claim that going pass-heavy would've qualified as taking their feet off the gas?

With the way Taysom was throwing? Yes.

I liked this stat.

Since 1977, BYU is 13-4 against teams that currently or were previously members of the Big12 conference.
Against the triumvirate of Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma, BYU is a combined 7-2.

Sorenson has been my favorite whipping boy (not that way, sickos) for the past couple years. I still don't trust him completely (we have a safe word); he has not only made all his kicks, but has made at least two semi-pressured FGs. I was impressed by his make on the bad snap.

With all that said, Texas has two NFL caliber kickers. In fact their FG kicker and punter were their best players on Saturday. At halftime I saw the placekicker make a 70 yard FG (from that tee thingy).

I am shocked Sorensons career long is only 46 yards. He routinely kicked 50+ in high school.

The Texas punter was unreal.

I've never been able to get why a guy with a serious back injury would be anyone's whipping boy. He took it on the chin on CB as well. Very few people took the injury into account when trying to explain his performance last year. Back injuries are tough for anyone but for soccer style kickers it's especially brutal.

I'm hoping he will regain his entire high school form and power. If he does he will most likely have a shot at the NFL.

Fun recap of the weekend fan meltdowns featuring Texas. Warning - rough language.
