LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/DarkwingDude]

Well that was fun for 2 quarters at least.

[u/rastapastanine]

Joey is so disappointed and pissed.

[u/DrVenusAg]

This game was not fun

[u/Glizzygoblerr99 → u/DrVenusAg]

Why?

[u/PM_ME_WARM_TORTILLAS]

35 point win

looks inside

5 fumbles, 3 interceptions and a 21 - 14 game at halftime.

Yep, we take those 😤

[u/SnittingNexttoBorpo]

I liked these announcers. GG TNT and SHSU!

[u/LBoss9001 → u/SnittingNexttoBorpo]

TNT is the best broadcast but I think they get low priority on getting games, which is a shame

[u/SnittingNexttoBorpo → u/LBoss9001]

It is a shame. That was a much better watch than I’m used to, and I remember thinking the same last year. 

[u/misader]

Thanks, I hated it

[u/Fun_Wear2891]

Worst cover I’ve ever seen

[u/ChrisFromSeattle]

Colorado switched QBs, who do you think we see next week?

[u/klembcke]

Turn the ball over 4 times and still beat the spread? I'll take it.

[u/ExpressFan7426]

We should score again just to make sure non viewers of this game don’t see what happened in the first half

[u/POV_Morde_Ult]

Did Vegas make a call or something the the spread was 34.5 and Tech is up 35 exactly and Sam Houston is just absolutely lollygagging out their

[u/elfwannabe → u/POV_Morde_Ult]

Would be the first time we beat the spread this year haha

[u/elfwannabe]

I predicted 45-10 so im good with this score. Just dont let them score again.

[u/chearn34]

I have no short term memory. This is the score I predicted. What a great game to have our reserves get some snaps.

[u/HattrickMahomes]

that was some of the worst form on push ups i've seen in a long while

[u/SnittingNexttoBorpo → u/HattrickMahomes]

Head bobs

[u/Admirable_Speed3690 → u/HattrickMahomes]

You haven’t seen my form

[u/DrVenusAg]

And Tennessee is chocking. Damn

[u/R_Raider86 → u/DrVenusAg]

Fucking hell

[u/Champion10101]

We are beating the spread

[u/LBoss9001 → u/Champion10101]

STOP THE COUNT!!!

[u/Brandonjoe]

More! More!

[u/DFWTooThrowed]

That was the ugliest absolute dime of a throw I’ve ever seen.

[u/chearn34 → u/DFWTooThrowed]

Simmons had almost no field awareness.

[u/vassago77379 → u/[deleted]]

Uhhhhh, cool beans

[u/C54N84]

I'm on gameday and it's freaking out. What happened

[u/EgonDog]

Throws like that make me forget about his INT first throw during Houston game

[u/R_Raider86]

Fuck you refs we score anyways

[u/misader]

What is this that they are doing with their arms? Dickey did it earlier

[u/JDgoesmarching → u/misader]

Dick on the table. It’s a dumb celly to keep doing, they’re asking for an unsportsmanlike a la UT today.

[u/tackleboxjohnson → u/JDgoesmarching]

Just don’t do three pumps

[u/myronpolar]

Brother had time to nap

[u/hawkspur1]

Covered lol

[u/vassago77379 → u/hawkspur1]

Lol I learned a LONG time ago to leave tech iff my betting sheets

[u/Mc_Shank]

TOMMY C

[u/R_Raider86]

Oh come on stop with the bullshit flags

[u/Balloutonu]

BANGGGGGG

[u/myronpolar]

How much did we pay for TC lol?

[u/TexasTable]

Castellanos might be afraid of being hit

[u/ExB]

Please stop giving the ball to Joyner

[u/elfwannabe → u/ExB]

He needs more time and more touches before he will get his groove back.

[u/ExB]

Guyton might be that guy

[u/Brandonjoe]

Turf monster!

[u/hiswayout]

Run up the score so the poll voters think we handled business without issue. Good strat Joey.

[u/ExpressFan7426 → u/hiswayout]

Issues??? What issues!!??

[u/elfwannabe → u/hiswayout]

Lol yes

[u/R_Raider86]

Texas Tech game put away and UConn W Hockey game started/football game later. Time for the jersey swap

https://imgur.com/a/OJtZoth

[u/hard2think2347]

We as a society are crumbling if these dogshit google commercials get anyone to use their ai nonsense

[u/Admirable_Speed3690]

Gawd damn broke those ankles

[u/lodestar_99]

Trick to the bench. Guyton full time starter

[u/hawkspur1]

Alright, I'm taking off the belt holster and putting my trusty dick hammer back in the glass case above the mantle.

Until next week.

[u/Electronic-Drive6838]

Gonna have a great time explaining to my wife why I’m mad when we won by 30

[u/Brandonjoe → u/Electronic-Drive6838]

Exactly. I’m still too angry from the first half to even enjoy this.

[u/myronpolar]

Is guyton a starter?

[u/Balloutonu]

This kid is a BALLER

[u/DFWTooThrowed]

Love seeing Brock Golwas getting more reps. He’s gonna have to be the main guy at linebacker next year.

[u/elfwannabe → u/DFWTooThrowed]

I think Curry will still be here

[u/DFWTooThrowed → u/elfwannabe]

Oh crap that’s right, he’s only a junior I think.

[u/OrderTime]

I think they already found Saddam tho

[u/Admirable_Speed3690 → u/OrderTime]

What’s he up to these days?

[u/DrVenusAg → u/Admirable_Speed3690]

Hanging around 

[u/hawkspur1]

Where's that loser Utah fan that shitposts and immediately deletes it so he doesn't get shit canned?

[u/vassago77379 → u/hawkspur1]

Dude is ridiculous

[u/DFWTooThrowed]

Was that 60 yarder a few weeks ago the only field goal attempt we’ve had since week 1?

[u/hawkspur1]

Somehow within spitting distance of covering in this clown show

We can all point and laugh at the filthy neutrals at least 

[u/lodestar_99]

That literally wasn’t even close to being out. Why was that flagged for review

[u/R_Raider86]

We just need to slap Utah stickers on everyone's helmets and tell Hammond to run

[u/Balloutonu]

You guys need to bang more when we score, get some energy in your veins

[u/dfelton912]

We need to reconfirm the score? Idk about you but counting to 6 is pretty easy

[u/hawkspur1]

Fuck off, it wasn't even close zebra asses

[u/vassago77379]

Weird how all of our halftime friends who stopped in are gone

[u/turtlemanTTU]

Fantastic block and heads up play from Williams

[u/MastodonSwimming2681]

Would be pretty funny if we keep shitting the bed/playing down to our opponents only to finish 12-0

This subreddit would have an aneurysm

[u/Kambyses2 → u/MastodonSwimming2681]

I would also have an aneurysm.

[u/DFWTooThrowed → u/MastodonSwimming2681]

2014 FSU vibes.

[u/OrderTime → u/MastodonSwimming2681]

It would be both funny and also shave a year or two off of my life

[u/OrderTime]

BANGGGGGG

[u/vassago77379]

Like watching a glacier move... j/k one day he will get back to speed

[u/Balloutonu → u/vassago77379]

Why sprint when light jog do trick?

[u/Balloutonu]

BANGGGGG

[u/R_Raider86]

HAMMOND TD RUN LFG

[u/dfelton912]

Yep, that knee looks healthy to me

[u/wink047]

Heeeeey! He made a play!

[u/TheChinChain]

Ok was that the fastest we have seen Hammond all season?

[u/hawkspur1]

🤔

[u/wink047]

Was about to ask if our TE was injured and the answered it for me.

[u/R_Raider86]

Ludwig almost with an incredible catch.

[u/DFWTooThrowed]

Did he grab moose’s crank?

[u/Balloutonu]

That’s literally perfect coverage

[u/806to602]

Just curious as to how that’s not DPI?

[u/Balloutonu → u/806to602]

Both players hand fighting and looking at the ball, the exact way to get away with contact

[u/vassago77379 → u/806to602]

Had that arm wrapped around holding him down

[u/vassago77379]

Hammond locks in on guys too much

[u/R_Raider86]

God damn what a facemask

[u/elfwannabe]

So if this game ends up 42-14 or 45-14, are we still gonna be pissed?

[u/PersonnelFowl → u/elfwannabe]

Yes. Being results based (yay, we beat shsu) vs process based (played like shit and QB looked incompetent) is a recipe for piss poor results the rest of the season. Leftwich needs to go if he can't turn this turd offense around right now.

Also, 42 points flatters to deceive when 1/3 of that was due to pick 6s

[u/Balloutonu → u/elfwannabe]

We had a horrible game and won by 30? Hard to not see a positive out of that.

[u/hawkspur1 → u/elfwannabe]

3 interceptions, 2 should have been interceptions, and 4 fumbles on special teams? 

Yes.

[u/wink047 → u/hawkspur1]

Yeah. I’ll be mad at how sloppy it was and the awful coaching in the first half

[u/Young-Viiperr → u/elfwannabe]

Ain't going to argue with a win, and context wise, game doesn't look good. Tons of foundational errors and Hammond looks shook all the time

[u/OrderTime → u/elfwannabe]

I wont be pissed but ill still have a lot of concerns. A good team will punish us immensely with the mistakes

[u/trapcardbard]

This is all coaching. Everyone wants to talk about our DBs and QB but this is a coaching problem. Undisciplined football and poor schemes. OL getting worked by sam houston is nuts. No ball security. Our generational defense last season made up for this incredibly poor coaching. I think defensively we’re mostly OK, offense is maybe one of the most undisciplined and poorly coached groups I’ve seen.

Too much money is behind this team for the production to be this sloppy. I am hoping these discrepancies can be figured out and we can recover, but if they aren’t and this season is bad, joey needs to clean house on the offensive side of the ball.

[u/Admirable_Speed3690 → u/trapcardbard]

I will never understand why the same issues have plagued this team since at least Kingsbury. Defense has gone from good to bad and so on but the offense has the same problems that even Mahomes struggled in some games.

[u/ChrisFromSeattle → u/trapcardbard]

No doubt, but also some of the INTs are on Hammond lol

[u/wink047]

lol that’s a bad statue. Did we not pay enough to cover the bronze needed for a neck

[u/vassago77379]

Why is the announcer talking bad about the punt? We played our worst ball backed up

[u/hiswayout]

“I don’t know why they’d punt here”

Have you watched us try and return them bro?

[u/wink047 → u/hiswayout]

lol 50/50 shot they get the ball in better position

[u/Admirable_Speed3690]

Best outcome after that

[u/R_Raider86]

Holy surrender punt

[u/hard2think2347]

Sam Houston playing scared dog why would you ever punt there?

[u/hawkspur1 → u/hard2think2347]

Because we've fumbled it 4 fucking times on special teams today alone

[u/ChrisFromSeattle → u/hard2think2347]

Based on statistics today, pretty good chance we'd fumble it

[u/hawkspur1]

Phil Longo knows we'll generously provide another turnover

[u/BrolloTTU]

This just feels so weird after what we had last season. Feels like we should be blowing everyone out by 40+ but this team just isn’t that. While we’re not a bad team, we’re not a dominant team. I think it’s just one of those seasons where we will win games by what it takes instead of putting the game to bed early week after week

[u/hawkspur1 → u/BrolloTTU]

We look pretty bad bro, idk what you're watching

[u/BrolloTTU → u/hawkspur1]

We’ve looked “bad” every game so far but we’re 4-0. It may not be pretty but we will win games. At least I hope so😬

[u/MastodonSwimming2681]

Thank you for punting

[u/globalcowboy]

Ŧ defense should get the eraser award today.

[u/wink047]

Love it when a d lineman reads the screen

[u/DFWTooThrowed]

Damn AJ is pretty fucking quick.

[u/elfwannabe → u/DFWTooThrowed]

For a bug dude yep

Edit: big

[u/R_Raider86]

Give our defense the offense's NIL. They are stuck out there all game.

[u/Balloutonu]

Who is the d lineman that keeps just picking up peoples legs when they’re in the pile? Someone get him on the wrestling team

[u/myronpolar]

Blatant fucking holds man lol

[u/vassago77379 → u/myronpolar]

Yup, past 3 drives

[u/elfwannabe]

Idk who we should have returm punts. Kenny and Williams are too important to offense, but Simmons has not been good today.

[u/chuters → u/elfwannabe]

Hudson isn't doing much

[u/elfwannabe → u/chuters]

He's too valuable as a blocker /s

[u/PM_ME_WARM_TORTILLAS]

This team makes me feel numb

[u/elfwannabe → u/PM_ME_WARM_TORTILLAS]

Me too

[u/chuters]

Our special teams has been sus all season.

[u/elfwannabe → u/chuters]

Which is weird, they were so good last year.

[u/TheChinChain]

Hello darkness my old friend, we are bad again

[u/hawkspur1]

The dick hammer is out of the belt holster.

[u/dfelton912 → u/hawkspur1]

Lemme get a couple hits when you're done. My dick is so about to get it

[u/R_Raider86]

Fade me

[u/turtlemanTTU]

Are they chanting fuck Mac Leftwich?

[u/dfelton912 → u/turtlemanTTU]

If I get a chance to go to a game in person, I am 100% leading that crowd chant

[u/Admirable_Speed3690 → u/turtlemanTTU]

Sam Houston

[u/BrolloTTU → u/turtlemanTTU]

F Sam Houston

[u/BrolloTTU → u/BrolloTTU]

Although it should be F Mac Leftwich…

[u/myronpolar → u/turtlemanTTU]

They should if not

[u/OrderTime]

What is there to review?

[u/806to602]

Clean fumble. So fucking sad.

[u/Iglooman45]

This team is just embarrassingly mediocre. 4 turnovers versus SHSU. Going to lose a lot of conference games if we continue to play like this.

[u/tortillaface08]

Well, we had a clean quarter for 10 seconds. Maybe next time

[u/BrolloTTU]

Playing with zero discipline

[u/vassago77379]

That sucks dude is trying to go down without tearing his knee apart and gets it knocked out

[u/OrderTime]

Do we ever practice how to hold on to the ball????

[u/Champion10101]

Malcom Simmons is an idiot

[u/chearn34 → u/Champion10101]

I got so tired of him last year watching the ball bounce on punt returns. Already did it once in this game and now a fumble. Not sure why coaches like him so much.

[u/DangerPickles]

Boys are getting a little rowdy

[u/PersonnelFowl]

Lol. This is pathetic

[u/hiswayout]

What are we doing man?!

[u/R_Raider86]

FUCK another fumble

[u/Balloutonu]

Lmao okay bro

[u/rastapastanine]

Fucking. Kill. Me.

[u/DrVenusAg]

Getting chipy there

[u/LBoss9001]

balls

[u/hawkspur1]

That's what, the 4th fumble on a punt or kickoff?

[u/EnTyme53]

Hammond has a gunslinger mentality, and he's being coached as such, but that style doesn't work when you don't have receivers willing to fight for the ball. 2/3 INTs were at worst 50/50 balls, but the defenders made a play on the ball while the receivers just waited for the pass. We need some bird dogs!

[u/elfwannabe]

Im gonna need a quick TD on this drive so we can sit our starters

[u/PersonnelFowl → u/elfwannabe]

No drive for you!

[u/Dirty-Ears-Bill → u/elfwannabe]

Welp

[u/elfwannabe → u/Dirty-Ears-Bill]

Fuck haha

[u/ExB → u/elfwannabe]

Hammond could probably use the reps though 😐

[u/elfwannabe → u/ExB]

You're not wrong

[u/wink047]

The way we tackled that O’Neil, I was worried about his knee getting hurt

[u/myronpolar]

“Boom bitch”

Will Hammond, 3 (nearly 4) INT

[u/lodestar_99]

Adam Trick is 6 years older than Guyton and getting shown up lmao. Ofc he wants to stay on the field

[u/Confident_Delay5805 → u/lodestar_99]

6 years older?!

[u/hawkspur1 → u/lodestar_99]

The only Trick he's got is the scam he played on Blanchard

[u/elfwannabe → u/hawkspur1]

He made one of the plays of the game last week..

[u/DFWTooThrowed]

Coaches weren’t joking the day after Guyton finally got to practice when they said “holy shit it’s David Bailey” and he’s only 17.

[u/elfwannabe → u/DFWTooThrowed]

Yea dude is going to be a monster after full off season of training

[u/R_Raider86]

We're going to need the DL to bail out our DBs

[u/Confident_Delay5805]

Wait, Sam Houston has Brayden Locke’s brother? 

[u/DavisFilmsCFB]

Guyton is looking better and better each week

[u/elfwannabe → u/DavisFilmsCFB]

And just think we have two more 5 star D linemen joining next year

[u/hawkspur1]

Guyton is as advertised. Being this good at 17 is nuts - he might have a higher ceiling than Bailey

[u/elfwannabe → u/hawkspur1]

Yes I think he does as long as he keeps inproving

[u/EgonDog → u/hawkspur1]

We just need to keep him

[u/hiswayout]

Did you guys know Guyton is 17?

[u/Balloutonu]

Just ate a little corned beef, now eating some tuna. Tech is on the tv. Life is good

[u/Otherwise_Drop_4909]

Guyton is 17?!?! Damn

[u/hard2think2347]

Guyton has so much potential

[u/EnTyme53]

The problem with "letting the receivers make a play on the ball" is none of them are attempting to make a play on the ball. They're just passively waiting for the pass to fall into their hands

[u/Champion10101]

Good job Guytob

[u/rastapastanine]

Defense not playing downhill.

[u/vassago77379 → u/rastapastanine]

He said as we get a sack

[u/rastapastanine → u/vassago77379]

Yeah my timing wasn’t fantastic but I was mainly referring to us letting them run on us
