OPEN THREAD, PART TWO: BREATH, TAKEN AWAY
Hi. You know who I am. This thumb’s for you, Colt McCoy, because you’re a champion who takes my breath away and turns in slow motion away from onrushing defenders bent on crushing you. You took the highway to the danger zone but took the exit toward Victory Lane, and for that I’m buzzing your tower and oiling myself up for a one-on-one volleyball game. You’re invited.
No more playing with the boys, Colt: just you and me, a Colt and a Maverick out in the field doing what animals do. I’m bringing this thumb. Let’s role play: this time, you be Sam Bradford, and I’ll be Brian Orakpo and Sergio Kindle.
This is your open thread for the afternoon. We don’t judge you, whatever you’d like to do with or to Colt McCoy and the rest of the magnificent Texas Longhorns, who played the finest game of the year thus far against the Oklahoma Sooners. Boom. Motherfucker.

Looking at a likely 0-6 conference start for Wisconsin. Gotta love playing Cal-Poly in late November for bowl eligibility. Assuming a win over Punky Brewster…

Tenn always has good QB’s and Crompton was like a freak accident.
That’s the best anyone has summed it up all year.

I must’ve misunderstood. UT lost by 12, feeling “GREAT about the game,” in general, if you lost by 12 meant you had low expectations. Feeling great about the QB play is an entirely different thing.

That was a fucking prayer of a throw by Robinson and a receiver actually came down with it in the end zone.
Pinkel has the gun to his head and is rotating the chamber….

No, more like the power of very high quarterback expectations that have been freaking everyone out. It’s just never really a problem position for Tennessee-they’re not always stars, but they’re NEVER like Crompton. I can’t remember the last time we had that grade of incompetence under center, but it’s over now and we found our guy.

I guess that’s the power of very low expectations.
