Tua probably played his last college game and now faces like a whole loving year of rehab. The good news: Doctors expect a full recovery.

Also that sideline photographer who got blown up was treated for a concussion and released

I didn't even realize that Iowa State won because Texas jumped offside on the first kick that ISU missed, giving them a second chance that they made. How un-ISU like.

Sorta. They didn't really take a real kick the first time. The play was clearly dead; I think the kicker was just taking a practice swing rather than really going for it. I wouldn't say he really "missed".

The bigger thing was the penalty extended the drive, so Iowa State got to kick for the win at the last second rather than kicking for the lead and giving us the ball back with 2:00 left.

I think Iowa State had a solid chance of winning without the penalty. Our offense was rolling in the 4th quarter, but laid a huge fart of a drive in a critical moment to give ISU the ball back.

What exactly is the problem? It’s weird that he hasn’t been able to make the offense work a bit better. Especially since he was sooooo good at Houston and Ohio State as OC. Texas isn’t exactly lacking in resources or recruiting.

Besides being a lip-kissing narcissist, has he just made bad hires?

Play-calling has been shockingly pedestrian for a team with a very good WR corps and a QB who can run over LBs. It seems like 50% of our plays are this run option with trip WRs where Ehlinger will either handoff to the RB or throw to one of the WRs who is getting blocking from the other 2. Neither of these works because everyone knows they're coming. I'm shocked one of these WR screens hasn't been pick-sixed this season. Also we've got the designed-QB run, which is good for like 9 yards every time but we can't make Ehlinger do that on every play.

I think they still don't trust Ehlinger to pass over the middle. He pretty much throws only screens, dump-offs, and sideline passes. Maybe he doesn't trust himself to hit a tight window even though his WRs are good bets to win jump balls.

Basically all our offensive success is from player talent transcending the game plan. WRs make crazy sideline grabs through tight coverage, RBs break tackles on nearly every run, Ehlinger bails out drives with his tree trunk legs.

Woo boy, SEC-SoCon week, so there aren't a lot of good games.

Somehow Ohio St. is favored over Penn State by loving 19 points.

I feel like Okie State-West Virginia might be a good game. Kansas State - Tech too.

Baylor is probably just going to whip the poo poo out of us. Oklahoma will beat up on TCU.

Dull week in the Big 12 is what I'm saying.

Well, it's a class where they let him give a presentation on his hair products, so how "real" is it?

how many years in a row do the Aggies have to trot out the same middling 8-4 squad before they are no longer referred to as or considered a powerhouse program

i long for the day they vanish into wake forestesque or iowaesque obscurity

When are they referred to as or considered a powerhouse program?

I’ve decided I like it much better when we suck unfathomable quantities of rear end at the start of the season and then kind of get it together by the end than the other way around.

At least Tim Beck will probably get fired now
