2011 Red River Shootout: OU vs Texas

[slow99]

The Tech game a couple of years ago still haunts me. National title on the line, and drops an INT...that was him, right?

November 1, 2008 ... "The Drop". Ugggghhhh

[Vertnut]

It's pretty sad when people define him for one play. And as a freshman at that. Some people just can't let go.


Don't get me started what all went wrong with that game that night. His just happened to be the second the last bad play of the game.

Of course it's "tongue-in-cheek", but you DO get my point. He's "OK" in the back, and has got to lead this year because of his seniority. We will judge him again at the end of the season. Athlete's are judged by one play all the time! Hell, Vince Young against USC on that TD run?

It's not easy being right all the time. LOL!

From hero to goat in 2 seconds.

As much as I loathe both teams, I really hope OU pulls off the win, but ever since Texas found out that Gilbert was the suck, they've looked pretty good.

Could be an interesting game, luckily the game's not in town, so I don't have to keep my self from wanting to strangle not only EVERY person in burnt orange, but also those in that horrid red too.

I remember when Gideon had the interception in the national championship game that led to Colt getting hurt that following series. I always blame him for UT bad misfortune LOL.

All my UT friends hate Gideon also.

I don't get this, but that could be because i've spent the past 3yrs bitching at Chykie Brown every damn game.

You mean every one outside of the Texas fan base only remembers that last run by Vince, right?

I don't hate him at all. He's a hard-working, hard-hitting player. Over his career though, he's had a lot of senseless penalties (late hits and roughing/unsportsman calls mainly) and a few "defining moments" in big games. I hope he has a bad-ass season and leads that secondary. They really need him to do that in order to get back to a bowl game.

If he plays like he did against ISU the rest of the season, the secondary will be badass

The Tech game is the #1 reason.

The way he tries to act like a bully when we know damn well nobody on the field is scared of him.

He's a solid player, but at times it seems like he cant control his temper and does some dumb things sometimes.

its okay though, OU secondary has had a lot of dumbass big mouth players in the past.
(2007-2009 players specifically )

LOL, i agree with this one especially

I think that leads to some of his late hits and cheap shots.

That and just trying to do too much. Remember in '04 and especially in '05 when LB Robert Killebrew would always get personal fouls? Hell, he got on hitting Lienhart late out of bounds in the Championship game lol

I'm wearing all my OU gear next time I come to Austin. And I'm going to rub it all over your couches!
