? I have no idea how you got that from my post. I’m agreeing that we are atrocious at clock management and it is a sign of a coaching staff that has a lot of work to do. The deeper we advance into “big boy football” the more likely that it costs us a game. I find it extremely frustrating to watch, but I’ll gladly take it over what I was watching under Tucker and Dorrell.

My bad. I thought you were being contradictory and saying we don’t need to worry about clock management with 10 minutes still left in the game. I’ll see myself out.

What the almighty white boy stuff are you smoking? Tortillas are made out of corn. "Flour tortillas" are not real tortillas.

In defense of flour tortillas: an origin story with Gustavo Arellano

Taco historian and writer Gustavo Arellano wants you to know that flour tortillas are not inherently bad; you just likely haven't sought out a good one yet. He discusses with Francis Lam the history of and differences between good flour tortillas.
www.splendidtable.org www.splendidtable.org

I grew up on homemade flour tortillas that my mother was taught to make by the woman in our neighborhood who was born in Mexico. They should be rich (lard), chewy, and relatively thin. There are decent approximations at many grocers that are sold under cooked that you brown on the stovetop. Trader Joe's are like a 6 out of 10, the ones at Costco are about a 7.

Are you assholes eating green chili with corn tortillas?

The mass produced, airy, flour tortillas are wonder bread, good flour tortillas would then be like a nice baguette in comparison.

I listened to the first 1/3 of the game in the car on the way home from the airport. One thing I haven't seen discussed is that while TT was racking up that early lead, they were apparently relying on obviously illegal pick plays on the outside against our DBs. GB was going off about it on the radio coverage and when it was 13-0 during a break, there were 3 coaches giving the refs an earful about it.

I don't recall them getting flagged for it, but they also didn't seem to go back to it, either. A bit of a momentum and game changer.
 
The TT coach didn't blame the refs for the loss but he was pissed. The roughing w/ SS the victim - which was a horrible and important call, and what he claimed were 5 'uncalled' facemasks.


Warren Sapp, you got to love him, kicked over the pylons at TT - "marking his territory". Makes it tough telling the kids not to taunt.

The TV announcers noted several times that the picks are legal if the ball is received behind the line of scrimmage. It's hard to tell on TV, but some of those crossing patterns were caught beyond the line of scrimmage and the defender was obviously just blocked prior to the catch.

In any case, the Buffs just switched to zone and shut that sh*t down after the first quarter.

It was AWFUL, and it wasn't for "behind the line." They were picking downfield. Most of their big plays in the first quarter were entirely due to illegal pick plays allowing their receivers to be running free and clear across the field.

Even HCPrime discussed it in his post-gamer. He was ticked off about it, too.

Not sure why they went away from that, as it was never called as a penalty. But HCPrime said that DC changed our coverage to deal with the issue. I think it was more nuanced then just going to Zone. The change was impressive, to me.

Yeah, none of the passes were behind the line. Like, not even close. When Livingston realized they were not going to get any calls, he correctly switched to zone.
 
Buffnik said:
Yeah. I thought it was just at the start and it looked like a fun tradition on tv. I didn't realize it was a whole game thing with other garbage substituted once they ran out of tortillas.

And the put batteries in ‘em.
 
When they went up 13 and 0 then got stuffed 2 or 3 times in a row, it was so nice knowing that they had ****ed up by not scoring enough despite our mistakes cause we had the talent to come back. I've been on the other side of that feeling enough times in the last 2 decades.

Ridiculous. Clemsons D would be a problem for us. Byu destroyed Kansas St who bullied us. Boise? Would be a tough game.

I started the season thinking that CU was not yet an upper tier program that could take on the big schools. But we have made a big step up in talent, speed, size, and playing tough, figuring out how to win when we aren’t playing our best. Our DL, LBs, and DBs can play with anyone, though our ILB may not yet have the speed to consistently cover backs or TEs against a truly multiple offense. When we hit teams with a good running game AND a QB who is a real passing threat, that could be tough. But that's tough on any defense, not just ours.

Our QB/WRs combo is one of the best in the country. Our OL/running game needs to take that next step up to handle the big programs, and that could well be enough to ultimately doom us at that level.

Also... TE. 'Nuff said.

Rewatching some of the game, and then listening to Prime talk about how he "Wanted to get Travis another yard and get 2 another few yards" when we were up 14 points, and then they ran schoolyard plays to try and make it happen is so sad. Who gives a **** about those stats, and then when you make that comment out loud, people are going to think less of you even more.

At that moment, there needs to be someone that has the script of what we are trying to accomplish in terms of snapping the ball as low as possible, best play calls, heavier formations, etc. I have coached teams that were talented but overall were not the best team on the field, and you have to manipulate every possible moment in the games. I know many of you hate soccer, but stalling is a part of that game that is not gentlemanly, but works. In CFB, the time that you snap the ball, the type of play calls, and many other things that can be done.

I am truly in love with this TEAM, and while Travis is generational, and S2S is a Pro, we are winning because we are a team of good players that are hungry to succeed. If Travis gets a Heisman, that will be awesome, but I would trade his Heisman for 10 wins and a chance for the Big 12 Title and CFP.

It's where the receiver is, not the blocker.
