Just me, but I see an improving def...

OU = 677 total yards
BAY = 604 total yards

OU = 63 points
BAY = 50 points

OU = 36 1st half points
BAY = 31 1st half points

Glass 1/2 full...take the positives...Manny made some adjustments this week, the numbers show it

Are the kids just not able to understand manny's schemes? I don't know enough about xos to understand, but it seems like we have some talented kids? It really is embarrassing and frustrating when nobody even respects us enough to punt on 4th down

This is funny

I Think he is trying to be too tricky....lets get 11 guys out there who know what they are doing and play some base defense....no blitzing, no sub packges, no confusion

After last night I'm convinced we should've hired Phil Bennett.

Conference opponents on fourth down:

11/11 converting the first
9 punts
8/10 fg (two of the 12 fg allowed were on third down at the end of the first half)

mcb0703, do you ever get the feeling your wit is being wasted?

Some do, anyway, and self-deprecating humor is sometimes the best kind.

Manny doesn't understand his schemes, because if he did we would stop executing them when the evidence presented to himself shows they don't work.

I would like to apologize to vahorn for thinking, 6 months ago, that Manny Diaz would be the next head coach at The University of Texas. At the time of this prediction, I was under the apparently illogical thinking that Manny Diaz would be able to improve from last year's defensive performance, based on the quality of returning defensive players, and believed Manny Diaz would take over for Mack Brown in about 2-3 years.

Looking back, I now realize that my initial thought process should've been conveyed to vahorn for his approval prior to posting; how stupid I now feel. In retrospect, not seeing or realizing the amazing intellect previously shown on multiple occassions from vahorn, is a failure I will have to accept, come to terms with, and try to move on with my life.

vahorn, going forward, you can be assured I will forward all posts to you for prior approval before submitting to this board. It's your wisdom, and only your wisdom, that gets me through each day, with the sincere hope you'll be returning tomorrow. And in the end, as you have previously acknowledged about my prior posts, I sincerely hope you are able to "get the sarcasm" of this post.
