  1. While that would be pretty neat, I don't want to see Rex get 1,000 yards at the expense of Roy. It's Helu's last game. I'd like to see PT for him a priority tonight.

     

    :yeah not to mention he is only about 70 yards away from oassing Crouch on the all time rushing

  2. All i know is if i EVER see another thread regarding the possibility/speculation of Bo leaving, it'll be way too damn soon. This is making me want to dig up the Martinez rumors just for a change of scenery.

     

    Meh, it's part of deal. it makes the off season go faster.

  3. What does it mean to be a BR columnist? The website looks more legit nowadays but I thought all you had to do was basically sign up and start writing 'articles.'

     

    You have to submit an article to them, and if they like one article they will allow you to write whatever you want.

  4. I have a coat autographed by Brook,Tommie and Lawrence Phillips. Now too small for me, too big for my wife, and years away from fitting my 2 small boys. Still a great day getting it and a hell of a souvenir!!

     

    I'm not sure I would want to wear it. Sounds like a awesome coat. I always cheered for Brook I grew up in Western Kansas too and seeing a farm kid from my area have that kind of success always motivated me.

  5. I don't get where people are saying that we overhauled the offense midway through fall camp. It seemed that the offense was headed in the spread option direction since the Holiday Bowl, and coaches have said it was headed in that direction even before that, but injuries prevented us from progressing. So, what's all this "we had to overhaul the offense midway through fall camp?" I understand if we limited the playbook somewhat for Taylor, but the zone read game was in place already, I don't think the basic philosophy of our offense really changed. We knew before this season that Bo wanted our QBs to run the ball, to make the defense account for all 11 players. I don't know, let me know if I missed some article where they stated they had to overhaul the offense midway through fall camp, but I've never heard anything of that nature except randomly on this board.

     

    There is a difference between running the zone read, and handing off the ball out of the shotgun. The past couple of years most of our plays that looked like a zone read, were actually a designed QB or RB run. The same thing is true with Cody or Zac in the game, and the same thing was true for the most part after Taylor got injured.

     

    So a lot of times when fans are saying things like he should have kept or given the ball, it actually was called that way, it wasn't the wrong read.

     

    I understand the difference between the zone read and a designed handoff. I just don't follow where people (mainly zoogies, I think) are saying that our offense was overhauled in the middle of fall camp.

     

    Don't know if overhaul is the best word for it, but a lot of changes were made to better fit T-Mart's skill set.

  6. No need for these all these 'well-wishing' comments. I think it's pretty clear now that Watson is doing everything he can to leave this offseason. Can't say I blame him. He is going to find something eventually. You guys are very likely going to get your wish. Careful what you wish for!

     

    When he goes, #1 on the agenda will be to find a quality QB coach to replace him. That will be tough, despite what anyone may want to believe. Innovative coordinators and playcallers are not in short supply, especially on the internet, so that's something I am less worried about :)

     

     

    Good point Zoogies, if not this year he will be gone after next year, the way the fan base acts over the coordinators is insane, wanting to fire mcbride, now watson. Watson simply can't win no matter what he calls even when he puts up 20 aginst a good defense in OU he gets blamed. If I were him I would want out too.
