    This. Cam completely whiffing on his block didn’t help. Sucks to be this close again but hard to get mad at the season really.

    Bring on Arch and a solid run game (hopefully).

    Excited for next year with Manning. And hopefully, we have a competent RB with Baxter returning. Blue and Wisner were okay, but they were never big threats in the run game. Manning's scrambling will add the ability to extend drives. Ewers could never escape pressure and you could tell when he looked shellshocked. The offense this year was always just okay, never dominant. They were enough to be able to compete for a championship, but fell short for the 2nd year in a row. Losing in the semi-finals seems about right for the team. Hopefully, we don't lose too much talent on the O-line.

    The goal line calls will go down in the history of Texas chokes. Mack Brown would be proud.

    Wouldn't be there without Ewers being clutch against ASU. Ewers didn't call that pitch play.

    The bad play was the sweep - no reason to pitch the ball backwards against a defense like that. Ewers was fine in this game - nothing great, but nothing awful. The fumble at the end was bad, but he had to hold on to the ball as long as he could to get someone open and make a play. If he fumbles and an OSU player lands on it instead of picking it up on the run, it's no big deal - still need a 3 and out whether they are at the 10 or the 20.

    This 100٪. I'll never understand needing 1 yd and calling a pitch play. It's inept coaching. Ewers also needs to get rid of the ball there on 4th. That's poor pocket awareness.

    Sark must not have watched the Penn State vs. Ohio State game. Seriously.

    Did Texas win? I need to check the score. I was told Texas was "the bestest college football team in the country." Was told that Ohio State could not beat UT.

    Well, at least UT fans get to watch a better National Championship game. A silver lining.

    There is always next season. Don't be upset too long over UT. The Texans will most likely suffer the same fate. Maybe don't even watch the game today. Why tortue yourself?

    A Wisconsin fan having to root for other B1G teams because their team sucks so much is pathetic.

    For the record, if there's a game that is a foregone conclusion, it's the Eagles-Packers, where the Pack have zero chance. Texans could win tomorrow. I know you'll be watching.

    Why are you here? You're pathetic. You come here to troll and nobody respects or cares what you have to say. The Psckers will get killed by the Eagles like another poster pointed out. Go back inside your cave.

    Nobody was open and he tried to hold onto the ball as long as he could.

    This team was the Henderson run and a healthy Gary Baxter away from winning a championship. Of course Sark killed his team. Remember that I was talking about slow developing plays before the game? It came back to bite them in the butt.

    I throw a jump ball and give someone a chance. Obviously I'm watching on TV and not in the pocket so it's easier said than done.

    Sark did kill this team.

    I've been thinking this since the first Georgia game. Huge dude with slow feet. Maybe a OG in the NFL, but certainly not a WCO OG.

    I certainly don't see a first rd pick there.

    Never said the Texans won't win. I said the Texans would most likely suffer the same fate as UT. Most likely does not guarantee anything.
    My support of the B1G is as alumni.
    Nope, won't be watching Texans Chargers. My wife and I have a charity event to attend later this afternoon. We support and help fund Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. A independently funded health care system. There are much more important things in the world than football. Totally fine to follow the NFL, but sitting on your couch all day on a Saturday with Cheeto fingers is a bit piteous. You do you though.
