I see Texas fans are now allowed to say "what if" and just give themselves a 50+ point performance. Apparently there aren't any "what if"s that would have given OSU the game.

And this, after I said that the post was not about "ifs" but about but about offense execution being more than just a QB issue.

What else could it possibly be then?

Bevo?

On at least one occasion, Bevo has been eaten. "It is taboo to…eat or kill the totem, except in ritual sacrificial ceremonies, in which the animal is elaborately praised and lamented.” Bevo I was “fattened up and became the barbecued main course for the January 1920 football banquet." He was sacrificially eaten, and then his “head and horns were mounted and hung in the U.T. athletic office”. Although Bevo was eaten, it was with great ceremony.

Heysoos Frickin' Christo. What part of "game plan" and "Ginn was developing as a WR" can't you fathom? We spread the ball to five other receivers other than Holmes against Texas to our best receiver (Holmes) open. And the game plan was to run more than pass (which we did: 36 rushes to 26 passes) because of the QB situation, so Ginn wasn't a major part of the plan for that game. In fact, Ginn wasn't a major portion of our game plans on offense until the end of the season when he started running better, cleaner routes.

Ok, thats makes a little more sense. However, can you just answer this one question for me? Why are you so hung up on defending a guy not being "shut down" when apparently he wasn't important enough to be gameplanned into the offense? Do you feel the need to defend that Texas didn't "shut down" Erik Haw or Ryan Hamby? Probably not since they weren't even close to being a featured item in the gameplan. Why don't you just come out and admit one way or the other that Ginn was a developing scrub for whom it shouldn't have mattered if he was shut down or not, hence negating the need for your heated, defensive post, or he was in fact "shut down" by the efforts made at him by the Texas defense? You can't have it both ways.

Because I'm sick and tired of bandwagon chest-thumpers bragging about how the mighty, "inVINCEable" Texas defense shut down Ginn.

The argument can be made, that had S. Kindle played offense only, he would had been the highest ranked RB in the Nation.

...based on that these guys were not around here last year and thereby do appear to be bandwagon guys.

They could be on 900 other message boards, but there certainly was not this level of "holier-than-thou" posts with the UT folks last year.

I'll stick with the guys who have been around and proven they are gracious in discussion and in competition.

I think it's hilarious how the tone of this thread has changed. If you go back to the beginning it's mostly reasonable posts and patting eachother on the back. Now we're at eachother's throats!

Who is more likely to rush for 100 yards or more, Antonio Pittman or Jamal Charles?
