Some of y’all need to sack up. There’s been games worth bit***n and moaning about the past 7 years. This isn’t one of them.

That was a brawl and we were severely out gunned in the trenches. That was a toe to toe slugfest. They had a few more haymakers.

Play like that tonight, we win in Manhattan next week and I feel confident in bowl game as well.

LFG
Yep, that was a top ten team with everything to play for. We got their best and were a few plays away anyway

You have to be a troll. This team started 1-2 and got substantially better throughout the year. It's mostly underclassmen. Our only upperclassmen rush was on a fake fg.

We lost key player positions to the gambling situation. Incredibly tough offseason... and still make a bowl!

This was a great coaching job to get to a bowl game.
Is it trolling to say that we should have beat Iowa, Ohio, or Kansas?

I'm not sure what I think of that game.
If we cut out a lot of those mistakes and maybe get a tiny bit of a ground game going we're in it.

Mistakes...........yes. Ground game......no. Texas was not going to let us run. And they have the players to do just that.

Don't know if it changes the outcome......but would have loved to see ISU just air it out against that defense which really couldn't stop the ISU pass game tonight.

A copy of this game should be used for the offseason weight room to show the young pups why they need to be stronger and tougher to play at a championship level. Texas tries to punish players on every hit, block, and run. They want to prove who is bigger, stronger, and better.
they are bigger, stronger, and better, more athletic because they step into the program with superior genetics to begin with. Our strength and conditioning is not going to compensate for that.

Played a good game but this is why Texas and Oklahoma are going to the Big 12 championship game and ISU and BYU are going to the Bluebonnet Bowl.

BYU has all the momentum about ready to take a 7 point lead and throw an inexplicable pick 6 instead of running the ball.

ISU can't get even execute an extra point so its a 3 point swing and the crowd is complete deflated.

Both plays swung momentum the other way and that's all she wrote.

the o line came a long way, but if we want to beat these teams....we need a KO or sone body like that. Need a little upgrade there.

Also Rocco or whoever is playing qb has to be able to run and people have to respect their arm.

This is small stuff but it's the difference between 7 and 10 wins.

KU yes we should have beat and of course we should beat Ohio BUT if what happened in that game is what got Campbell to let Nate loose a little more on offense (which it has) then thank God it happened.

Because if we squeak out that Ohio win nothing changes and we likely don’t have 5 conference wins either.

Add it to the list o

texas has always had ‘dudes’, seems like Sark has this crew focused and doing more than playing for their professional careers.

Top the cap.

Those are elite athletes at every position. We are not, plus youth, it showed

We should expect better than 6-6. With better coaching this is an 8 win team.
I didn't see any problems with coaching tonight. Their fg kicker executed, ours didn't. They made their extra points, we turn a 3 point game into 6.

Pretty simple, inept special teams cost us again.

Texas is big, athletic, and fast, especially in the OL and DL.
I thought it would take a +2 or 3 turnover margin to win. Didn't happen.
Played hard, had some chances, nothing to be ashamed of. Just weren't good enough.

Only people who should be checked into Arkham Asylum actually expected this team to be better than 6-6 this year, given how bad last year was and the gambling scandal that cost us numerous key players. Despite all that 6-6 will be our floor at the end of the year.

Perhaps you should gain some perspective on what this season actually was before you post any more bad takes.
