A Whole Big Nation of Week
Five
Most Enjoyable
The TCU at SMU game
was played despite a pretty crazy rainstorm.
As the commentators … uh, commentated … on how the weather would affect
the players and the game, there was a time frame of about 90 seconds of
repeated talk about “wet balls” including “on Thursdays, TCU handles wet balls
exclusively” followed by an abrupt
silence. I’m not trying to sound
immature here, but it was unintentional and awkward comedy at its finest.
Least Enjoyable
TCU won that game.
Through week five,
the Big 12 is putting up some impressive statistics on Offense and Scoring
Offense. West Virginia and the passing
robot Geno Smith are getting the most press, but the top scoring rankings are
dominated by Big 12 Teams:

In keeping, with my week
of statistics, the Big 12 is looking like big boys on the offensive side
not only as teams, but individuals. Seven
of the nation’s most efficient passers crack the top 25…

40 Acres of Week Five
Who’s a Big Boy?
Well, I’m not really
sure. I’d like to say Mike Gundy, but
really, “HE’S A MAN! HE’S 45!” The fiasco that was Bergeron’s touchdown in
the last minute of the game left the Cowboys angry. Gundy, in the tradition of Bo Pelini wonders why
the referees haven’t made a personal appearance to explain calls to him:
“Gundy said he didn't get an explanation of the
ruling on the play, although he admitted he hadn't sought one out on his own.
He said he ''can't imagine that they wouldn't'' contact him to discuss the play
further.”
Run DJ, Run!
DJ Monroe's 100-yard
kick return for a touchdown in the 1st quarter marked the 4th 100 yard kick
return TD in school history, and the third of DJ's career. We should just do that every time. Except this week, since that means we’d be
giving the ball back to the killer WVU passing team.
Happy the Man That Catches the Ball
Two words: Jaxon
Shipley
I’d Trade Magic Beans For…
Hugs. And by hugs I mean our guys wrapping up and executing
tackles, all the time, all the time.
“We had 12 missed
tackles on seven plays (against Oklahoma State). Three missed tackles equaled
109 yards,’’ said Head Coach Mack Brown. “We’ll give up 70 (points) this weekend if we
don’t tackle better than we did (last week).’’
Uh, yeah, we know. So let’s…just….not.
