    nice comeback against OSU, it was very fun to watch. I was lucky enough to be in Austin for that comeback as well as in Stillwater for that comeback they year Texas won it all........ As much as UT has struggled this year, next year could be even worse.

    They lose a lot of starters on both sides of the ball and I don't see many of the young guys playing that great.

    Terrelle Pryor sure would like nice in the burnt orange.

    if charles takes care of his fumbling problems, he'll be great. i've never understood why people say he doesn't run between the tackles, it seems like all his big runs come up the middle.

    he doesn't even have fumbling problems. he's had a few this season but that has never been a problem for him before and he hasn't been having trouble with it the past few games.

    Whoa...Charles absolutely has fumbling problems. He's been okay that past few games but he's coughed up the ball, especially on goal line, way too many times. Ball security is his only question mark IMO. But he has been amazing the past 2 games.

    Disagreed. We do lose a lot of starters, but many of these guys wouldn't be starters, especially on defense, if they weren't seniors/upperclassmen.

    Our OL should be better in that 3 out of 5 will be older and more experienced. We lose Hills but he hasn't been all that great IMO. We basically played w/o Sweed this season, but losing Nate Jones and possibly Cosby will be our biggest losses. An older/smarter Colt (hopefully) plus Jamaal Charles should make our offense really good again.

    But most of all...NO MORE DERRY AND KILLABREW!! Norton and Kindle will do wonders for this defense IMO. Beasley has played very well this season and looks like a future star. Losing Okam and Lokey hurts, but Roy Miller is a beast himself.

    They should let chiles play out. McCoy makes too many mistakes and he isn't special enough to make up for it.

    i'm saying over his career he hasn't had fumbling problems. he had a few games in a row this year where he had trouble holding onto the ball and that was it. his last few he hasn't had a problem and in his previous two years he never had a fumbling problem so i'd say it's more likely to be a few game thing that a big question mark.

    So I was at home and the Horns were down 3 TD's in the 3rd qtr. Feeling disgusted, I thought a change of venue was in order. I drove my dad to my uncle's house so that they could visit.

    That morning my uncle had purchased a freshly slaughtered whole baby goat from a farm outside of Pearland. He had stewed the head and shanks by the time we got over there.

    I kid you not, when I got a bowl of that stew, and put spoon to mouth, Jamaal Charles broke off a 76 yd TD run. I don't need to tell you how the rest of the game went. Goat Stew.

    I left my home when it was 35-14 thinking there is no way OSU lets it happen again. That has got to be extremely demoralizing to them. I wonder if Gundy will have another mental breakdown in his press conference today.

    I'm less concerned about the offense right now. I have huge concerns about the defense going into the Tech game. Hopefully, Kindle is able to play in that one. The DB's need to find where they left their balls sometime before this next Sat or it's going to be a very long day.

    Hell, I was on my way to the liquor store! Walked in to Spec's down 35-14, pulled into the driveway as Charles was crossing the goal line. :)

    He had 4 fumbles in the last 5 games at the end of last season (not counting bowl game). Then, he has the problems he had this year after a couple of games. It wasn't looking good.
