Some old school Kevin Steele Baylor vibes from Miami last night.
I’ve got a buddy who is a Miami alum.
Probably was at that game.
I should probably check on him.
The Kevin Steele Baylor game I’m referring to.

Walking out of The Colesium after watching my alma mater shit the bed against usc, a dumbfuck usc fan clad in silly dojers gear got in my face screaming, “FIGHT ONNNNNNN!!! GO 'SC!!!”
I told him his mother was smelly pirate hooker and shoved my beer near his ugly mug with the Astros koozie on it and told him, “Let’s go Astros, you twat.”
Stay classy, dojers and sc backers.
After digesting it overnight, I’m upset that Texas threw away their chance to steal the game at the end with horrific prevent defense - but I absolutely believe they can win the rematch.
I absolutely do think Texas is the better team. They should have won, even with 3 turnovers, getting stuffed at the 1 and getting no points, a ton of penalties. And Oklahoma still barely came out with a last second TD. If Texas doesn’t screw it up and makes the B12 title, I think they’ll win.
I still cannot believe the defense gave up huge chunks of yards and never blitzed him up the middle to take away his running lane.
That’s just one item on a pretty long “can’t believe” list.
Mine is not very long. It was a great game until the last drive.
Left too many points on the board.
Sark needs to remember that 3 points is better than 0 points sometimes.
I was at that game – working in the press box. I remember how slowly it all unfolded in front of us… I had each of these thoughts, separately:
“Oh no, he fumbled it.”
(pause)
“Oh no, they recovered.”
(pause)
“Oh no, he’s gonna score.”
(pause)
“Oh no, that gives them the lead.”
(pause)
“Oh no, the clock ran out.”
(pause)
“Oh no, they just won.”
This made me laugh way more than it should have.
Was standing right on the goal line while leaving the stadium thinking it was all over. And, then it was.
Sweet Jesus, the waning minute of the UH/WVU game…

Holy cow.
Yeah, just finished watching that. A snoozer game which morphed into an absolute thriller
I was there and home now, what a wild ride. Next week we get to get our butts whipped by UT. Oh well only 3 weeks until basketball season where UH excels; great kids, with great grades, great coaching,etc….
I wonder if Greene enjoyed his slice of humble pie. He didn’t see it coming.
Allegedly (per a HornFans poster at the time) a Waco priest opened Sunday mass the next day with a, “perhaps we should teach our Baptist brethren how to kneel.”
As was I – in the student section.
(watching them line up, turning to the person next to me)
[audible groan] “We aren’t taking a knee… we are going to fumble and they are going to run it back 99 yards and win this game… watch.”
(play unfolds as predicted)
“moth…er… fuck…er.”
(a moment of blank staring)
“well… I guess BU football will finally make Sportscenter tonight.”
