I realize he’s a freshman and very raw. If Monken or Dana were OC then Bowman could most likely thrive because their offenses adapt well to a pocket passer. On the other hand, Gundy’s offense needs a mobile QB. So if we are to run this Dunn/Gundy offense, Bowman can’t play anymore and we need to let Smith be the guy. He is mobile and fast. The RPO is a critical part of Dunn’s scheme. It opens up the running lanes and vision for the RB. Notice how #3 found easier lanes and his vision improved when the threat of Smith running the ball dictated the asu defense. The run will then open up the pass for Smith. He needs reps and will make mistakes, but with his running threat it will open up easier passing routes that give the receivers room to catch and run. They also won’t be getting killed when they catch a pass. Should allow for YAC as they run their routes. Yards after catch should increase significantly.

Football sucks and no one wants to talk about it.

How about this? What's the furthest north and south you've been on planet Earth?

I'll start.

North: Either Minnesota or Amsterdam, Netherlands.

South: Cape Town, South Africa.

Don’t like either school but…

Baylor hits game winning FG to beat TCU 37-34

Dave Aranda’s first win vs TCU

I like when Sonny Dykes loses 🤣

I have no idea how Steve Lutz’s inaugural season will go, but I’m confident he and his staff will push the players to give it their all and hustle their asses off. Basically the opposite of what we have in football right now.

Season opener for bball is in GIA on Monday night at 8. Hope we have a good crowd and get a W over Gottlieb.

Our coaching staff is so bad it isn’t even funny. Here is a take some won’t agree with and I’m fine with it - our talent is better than what is showing.

I’ve seen the comments about talent and recruiting. And perhaps it is down a little bit but if you really believe this is a talent issue answer this:

-why did basically this exact team win 10 games last year?

-why did Ollie Gordon win the Doak Walker last he at and this year struggles to get 50 yards rushing.

-why do we under utilize a WR core that basically was all back and we got a talent in Stribling added to that?

-why have we had similar recruiting rankings year in and year out and this not ever been a problem before?

I’m sorry I just don’t buy that this is a talent issue.


This is a coaching issue. Dunn is a mid to bad OC who thought he could just relax with all the returning starters he had coming back and that Ollie would just repeat what he did and teams wouldn’t be able to stop him. He must of forgot who the oline coach was because that guy has been bad since he stepped foot in Stilly and I’m not sure how he is still employed here except for the fact that he is a Bill Synder guy.

Nardo is just in completely over his head. He is a nice guy who doesn’t hold his players accountable and wants to let them know it will be ok. To be fair to him we hired him to run a 3-4 and we just run some defense that is a cluster and doesn’t have an identity. Our defense is about like what we used to call the Cowboy back position. It never worked.

And the funny thing is we don’t try anything different ever. Somebody else said but I’ve been thinking it and saying it as well - the definition of insanity - do the same thing over and over and expect different results.

Some questions I have:

-why not try Smith at Qb much earlier? Bowman is so afraid in the pocket and he locks in on WR’s and he can’t run. He is a major liability but we keep trotting him out there. My guess is we run him out there against tcu also.

-why does Daniels not get benched? Why do we never play any other LB’s? Ute was hyped up preseason as a guy who reminded some of Martin. He makes plays on special teams. He can’t see the field on defense? Ike? Why do we not try guys who are younger? What do we have to lose at this point?

-love the walk-in program. Love it. We are starting a walkon at safety. Why? I realize some won’t like this take but we just shouldn’t be doing that at this point.

-on paper and preseason our new dline coach was viewed as an upgrade. At this point I’m wondering if we wouldn’t be better off with Greg Richmond? Guys play way to tall and either over run the Qb allowing him to take off for 10-15 yards or they bunch up together and allow the oline to dominate them. Most of the time they engage and can never disengage to make a play.

-but our oline seems to have a problem engaging on running plays.

This is he absolute worst coaching job I’ve seen in a long time. And that’s not earth shattering.

Th fear is we won’t make coaching changes.

The other fear is between decommits and the portal How bad is the ship gonna sink?

And it has nothing to do with the Tulsa King!

Gundy had everything aligned just right. No more Holder, no more OU, no more Tex…

Finally, his master-class level, Pat Jones’esqe brilliance would be on full display for conference domination.

Skattebo O/U 295.5 yards

It's just pure, unadulterated fail.

274 total ****ing yards! I hope the bastard gets Heisman. Maybe Shedeur Sanders they pay us.

Literally just said.. for about the 8th time this year

Go for it. Who cares!

BWAHAHAHAHA!

Congratulations to Cowboy Up!

Interception to close the game by Cougar High!

BWAHAHAHAHA!

Tech just scored with 20 seconds to take a 23-22 lead in Ames potentially ruining their undefeated season and playoff berth

That feels nice

... SUCK IT IOWA STATE!

BWAHAHAHAHA

23-22 Tech

How long until play resumes

The original Skattebo

Arizona State's Cam Skattebo has already racked up 141 all purpose yards, 2 TD--at halftime.
Weather permitting look out 250..
OSU could have signed original Skattebo (David Flowers (Perryton Tx) 40 yrs ago but whiffed during transition from Phil Cutchin to Floyd Gass.
Flowers (Hall of Famer OSUPanhandle State) llater coached Taylor Cornelius and Bushland to Texas State title in 2014.

Tale of the tape:

Skattebo 5-11 228
National AP POW
B12 Offensive POY
Hornung Award PPOY


Flowers 6-0 235,
Flowers 1970 Texas 3-A All State

David Flowers

Gimme reasons drones.

This is just a bad team. Talent, coaching, motivation, all bad.

Unless Gundy learns how to navigate the portal miraculously or hire coaches that do, it’s not going to get better.

Sorry folks, this is just a sad story with an ugly ending that sucks. Gundy can turn it around, but he needs help and I don’t think he’s going to ask
