Quotes of the Week

Senior Defensive Lineman TJ Franklin

"The focus is still where it needs to be. I mean, [the staff] have done a good job by making us practice in the morning and giving us the extra time in the evening to either get extra film or take care of our bodies, do anything that we need to do to be like our final preparation for the game, so that's a big help." 

Senior Offensive Lineman Jacob Gall

"That's something we've been talking about all week and I think the thing we really come back to is that this is another chance for us to prove ourselves," Gall said. "Everybody that's kind of still been doubting us all season after the start or after any loss we've had, this is still another chance to prove to everybody the team that we actually are.""

Head Coach Dave Aranda

"I think we're stronger for it. And I think we're probably a closer team now than we were just two weeks ago. I think you find out so much about yourself, especially when there's trials, tribulations, and all of it. And when people can fully put their heart out there and then have it crushed at the end, I think it's so vulnerable to do that. And for guys to do that. And then to make the decision here to do it, again, I think, speaks to just a strong growth of the team. And we're aiming to do that."


Analysis of the Week

SicEm365 Analyst Travis Roeder

What an impossible game to predict. From a pure quality standpoint, I think this is a toss-up game. What makes it so difficult is you have to predict the team’s energy, focus, and desire. Texas still has a lot to play for (they can make the title game if they beat Baylor and Kansas beats K-State). Baylor spent themselves emotionally against TCU. Were they able to recover and gin up enough energy to one of the three best teams they’ve played this year, and play them on the road?

Baylor has the talent to make Texas one-dimensional in this game by relatively shutting down Bijan and forcing Ewers to beat them consistently. That’s Baylor’s path to winning. If they really shut down Texas’ run game like TCU was able to, Baylor can hold Texas under 24 points. We’ll see what version of Baylor’s defense we get tomorrow.

Actually yes. Gene Chizik was my position coach in college. Have you?

Again fool - we aren't losing games because of a lack of talent. We lose because a lack of consistent focus on fundamentals - both at the player and coaching level.

And again fool - I haven't seen such inconsistent focus since the Steele era.

Unbelievable no hold call. Just like Michigan St no hold call right infront of ref.

Well I'd like to apologize for my dramatic posts earlier. They really defense mechanisms I use.

Great finish to the half by the bears!

No 3rd quarter stalls Bears, come out and take care of business. Grind em down and play keep-a-way all 4th quarter.

Dude come on Shapen… Baldwin was wide open


I was sitting on my couch pissed when Shapen put that one in the dirt. Then he hauls off and goes 4 for 4 on a 45 yard drive.

He has made some solid throws this game. Also missed a ton. Just how Blake is. That drive though was his best 2 minute drive of the year. He looked confident and in rhythm

Yep. These stupid coaches dont understand football like most of our football savvy posters.

Execution sucks play calling suck. Our players need to be chewed out. Poor CDA cant teach.

I have never understood why head football coaches dont study forums to gleam the wisdom of band guys, wrestlers, bean counters and unknown lawyers.

And we are ahead. Just think how much better we could be if they would only listen. Its so frustrating
I have found theres only two ways to go:
Living fast or dying slow.
I dont want to live forever.
But I will live while I'm here.

Did the band make the decent down Mt Everest in time to March?

It really felt like the floodgates were about to bust open on us after UT had the back to back TD drives and we couldn't get anything going on offense.

Impressed by the Bears hanging on and regaining the lead on the road.

Got to stop' em on this drive to set the tempo for the game

The desire appears to be there. Good to know this team hasn't cashed in early. Maybe there is still such a thing as school pride.

Yes. In spite of all the miscues, bad throws, missed tackles and blown coverages… we are still winning. That has to say something.

Have to make that first tackle.
Keep pressure Ewers
Play to win on offense

That is great. If he can replicate that in the second half we will have a shot.

Gotta agree with Pumpin.
Bring intense heat on Ewers… he's not quick or elusive…pressure him to turn the ball over… I think that's the key to 2nd half… along with Baylor running the ball and not coughing up the ball
