Wow! I'm stunned. Absolutely shocked!
ABC actually put on a kick ass rockin outfit like Robert Randolph and the Family Band. :chuckles:
Seriously, these cats get down. Robert is a freaking god on the steel guitar. Props to ABC. I would of never guessed they were that cool:

On to the game. How bout that defense? Seven points, and it came on a blown penalty? Nice. Texas had scored 40+ in 12 straight games coming into tonight. If it weren't for their coach patting the ref on the ass, they don't even get a touchdown tonight. That's the best OL we'll face all year. They
did protect McCoy somewhat, but we got to him pretty good. I'm very pleased.
Really, this defense is reminding me of the 2002 bend but don't break defense. They give up some plays and make you think "Geez, do we suck on defense? I thought we were supposed to be good?" But then it stiffens when the opponant crosses the 50, and at the end of the game there's not many points on the score board.
Trappasso was booming those punts, Pettrey the kick offs, and the coverage teams looks good. We all know what Ginn can do on returns. Just the fact that teams kick away from him is huge. How many 20 and 30 yard punts did NIU have b/c they were scared to kick to Teddy?
And then there is the best part, the offense. Not only do we have the star quarterback, awesome skill players going 2 and 3 deep, and a great line, but we can spread you out and run or pass, go with the power I, or run the option. Plus the x factor that is Troy's legs. That is crazy. It's damn near impossible to take all of that away. You have to give us something. In other words, good luck stopping this offense.
From what I'm seeing, we're a field goal kicker away from being awesome at everything. And really, with how good we're looking everywhere else, I don't see many games coming down to us needing a field goal.
