No doubt

I’m watching in regular def instead of HD and WOW is it a difference. That pass to McKnight that got reviewed was blurry to the point you could not see a diff b/t his foot and the sideline.

Blue

I see a decent amount of blue in the stands – little pockets of it.

Good drive! Love the fact that Speedy stuck it in after he had his head ripped off on a dirty play. Also like the option call.

It’s like when they told that guy in Dodgeball to get mad.

If we’re gonna lose, I’d rather they be blowouts at this point – this is exactly the kind of thing Hawk will point to as evidence of “improvement,” “moving in the right direction,” etc etc.

Hate to say it, but I’d rather see the Buffs get blown out than lose by 7 or 10 today.

Not me

This has been a pretty good game if you don’t count the poor special teams play, the O-Line, poor use of timeouts, no signs of Simmons, the penalties, etc.

Hawkins must go even if we win out

But the rushing of the field? Really? I liked how other fans were booing the students for going on the field. We didn’t win the North people! Wake up!

by CleBUFFS on Nov 7, 2009 2:54 PM MST via mobile reply actions  

that's how you know the program is struggling

the fans don’t even think we are gonna win a single game, so when we do, I guess it’s a big deal

by buffs2524 on Nov 7, 2009 2:56 PM MST reply actions  

one more point

This A&M team has 18 true freshmen playing and they will make a bowl. I’m very tired of the “we’re young” excuse.

Great game by Hanson, Simas and the D played well also

by CleBUFFS on Nov 7, 2009 2:57 PM MST via mobile reply actions  

A&M being the 11th ranked defense

in the Big 12 didn’t hurt either.

the rushing of the field has to stop

It’s embarassing and pathetic…. Seriously! Were they even ranked? And let’s not get too excited we are still 3-6 and we haven’t won two straight yet.
Does this mean Hawk just saved his job – great. I can hardly wait for more mediocrity. Happy for the players not for Hawkins.
