I watched Eric Morris’ offense today….. I watched Mike Elko’s offense today……. They are not the same

60 Burger….. in Manhattan… it’s good to be us

My Lord…… 49…. In a half…. Hey…. Let’s all just shut up and enjoy… lol… yeah.. we gonna throw picks… yeah… we gonna look like Ned and the First Reader on defense a lot …. What the hell did we expect hiring a guy who learned the game from Mike Leach? He never exactly “shut people down” either. But damn…. Damn… damn…. We are freakishly good… we are all time fun…. Enjoy the ride Cowboys!

Abbott gone… not sure what Governor Hinojosa will bring to it… but I know we lose a guy that intentionally villainized us, tried to exterminate us, then blew sunshine at us to keep us quiet

Hey fellow Texans and political people….. mark White went after teachers…. It cost him…. Abbott has conducted an orchestrated attack on public schools and thousands of Californians have moved into the I 35 corridor…. Not a shocking result so far

Wyatt Young….. talk yo stuff my guy…. I ain’t worried about that..now… don’t get a flag…. But dude…. Keep ballin

Sunday morning thoughts: we turn on the game or go to the game living on the shallow assumption we understand football…. We do… but because we are blinded to a degree by our fandom, we rarely look at the game with a truly critical eye…. Instead we assume the talent is adequate, we assume the game plan is to shut down or win every snap and possession…It’s just more nuanced. The defense is bad… it’s really bad on the edges. It’s hard to tell if the secondary is bad because the opposing QB is almost NEVER under duress … but the “fire the coach crowd” just lives in a reactionary, emotional state. As coaches, I would imagine that they, more than anyone, are aware about our personnel shortcomings. I would imagine that Eric Morris looks at his team and has to figure out the best way for “this team to win”…. I don’t think we, as fans, really study, or prepare for a game remotely enough to evaluate a performance or style of play to a degree to be qualified to say some of the things we say…. Me included … especially me…. But I’ll say this, if I’m Eric Morris… if I’m trying to build a complimentary style of play to win with the wealth of offensive talent we have and at the same time with the deficiencies we have on defense, I would probably build like this: I know I can’t lock down an opposing offense…. But I have to “get stops” at timely moments because my offense is seemingly only stopped by itself at this point…. So I am asking my defense to get in a position to make a stop when we have to have it and our offense will keep us alive… At Houston, the offense didn’t hold up its end of the bargain early….. last night, the kicking game created circumstances that forced an already deficient unit to play twice as hard… Last night was an awful defensive performance…. Awful….. But…. Late in the game, they got a stop… we took the lead… we didn’t get the second stop to seal the win… The point of this diatribe is to say, that maybe, this is the only way for this team to win…. The defense found answers at half against UCF and Colorado. Found none last night….. But….. But But But… as bad as the defense was…. Two extra possessions given to IsU by the kicking game, kept Drew off the field two additional times…. That’s how you lose shootouts ….. We gotta recruit… we gotta get pieces up front…. It’s a bad defense …. But it’s the defense we got…. We have to root for stops…. 5-3…. Disappointing this AM… hurts….. by the way… if you’re a OG Cowboy fan, Ames, Iowa certainly didn’t claim your virginity last night… Bounce back…. Another house of OsU nightmares next week… max the season out!

Ames…….

Defense was bad…. But…. When you play bend and don’t break, you can’t overcome two critical special teams turnovers and a missed FG…. 17 points there and 17 our offense didn’t have the chance to score…. 31 point swing on three plays potentially…. Put it on the defense.. fine… the defense not the only culprit….

If anyone cares to learn football, ISU is picking on our Left DE…. All game…. Over and over and over…. “Why don’t we put more guys over there and help?” Yeah… you still have to line up sound, and they also are outnumbering us with heavy sets…. They found a weak spot… and they’re going at it….. We ain’t playing well, we ain’t coaching great… but ISU has found a matchup…. Or…. You could just scream “fire the coach”…. Because that’s a nuanced football take

Quit laying in a zone when you get them behind the chains

No edge…. Again…. Our DE’s are the biggest problem…. Just running inside like a 2A kid

Justin Bowick….. my Goodness

Now…. Looking to the sideline waiting for a call while they snap it and go for 50 on 3rd down? Yeah… yall can destroy em for that

Yall worried about the defense…… laughable… the defense isn’t a stonewall unit… but if the kicking game is going to keep putting them in minus situations, they won’t be good… Two extra possessions given up by the kicking game and the defense has actually gotten us a possession….

My Stillwater homecoming trip review: 1) Stillwater is alive.BPS was awesome. PREGAME ATMOSPHERE WAS ELECTRIC.. And it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the strip that crowded with that much buzz in Stillwater.. hats off to the kids for their work at America’s greatest homecoming and for their play to make it special for the old heads. 2) quit worrying about the big 12 title game. Ames, Iowa and Manhattan Kansas have provided us with almost every nightmare We have suffered for 20 years. Let’s go win one game and then try to win another and let the big 12 sort itself out. 3) a lot of one high safety and cover three in the first half. Two high safeties, mixing up two man and robber in the second half. All the X panickers need to just enjoy the ride stop fretting and let these guys do their thing. 4) enjoy 17, 10, 24, and zero. You’ll be able to see them on Sundays. 5) George’s tried to take me down but yet again it failed Love my Cowboys! Love Stilly! Can’t wait to be back in three weeks
