I guess THE Ohio Whatevers aren't going to a bowl game.

Don't forget that Baylor beat the mighty TCU.

53. yes, but to be fair they've had some crushing injuries
The preseason ranking wasn't really out of line. They lost their best runner against Kansas State, the leading receiver in Division I history against Texas A&M. They've had a couple of injuries on the O-line and the defense has been depleted by injury since before hte season started.

Given the injuries and the preseason expectations, I can't remember a more disappointing season, personally. But even taking the injuries into account, tonight is an embarrassment. Aggies are just kicking their ass up and down the field, no two ways about it. It's a whipping to rival some of the whippings Mack Brown has taken in the RRS over the years.

58. I agree. The defense has been mediocre at best for a while now.
And the team has had very poor form tackling for several years now. I remember the early oughts when we were known for defense. Seems like a distant memory. I think something has to change on the defensive side of the ball.

Shitty end to a shitty season.

BTW, they just put in the Belldozer for the first time--touchdown from 21 yards out. For whatever it's worth.

60. Bench Landry...
he can go get married and become a missionary...or whatever the hell he wants to do. But he should stay away from the football team because he dances around like his pants are on fire.

When I was in Mexico watching the games in '08 I said that Venables should go. I've stuck to that since then. He is killing the team.

61. might not be a bad idea to bring in a special teams coach, too
We've been killed on kick coverage for the last few years.

Venables is apparently up for some of the Head Coaching positions that are open. I'd love to see him get one. I think that's the only way he goes, because I doubt Bob will fire him.

One more thing I think is worth looking into is our strength and conditioning program. We've been good in the second half for most of this year, and that speaks well to our conditioning. But it seems to me that for the last four or five years we've suffered more injuries than most teams do. I know injuries are part of football, but the level at which we've lost players just seems out of whack to me--even before this year, which has, of course, been horrendous for injuries.

I'd be happy to see LJ go. But I have my doubts that he will. At the least, I hope (and think we will) we see a wide open competition in spring practice.

who've come out of Oklahoma have complained about the S&C, but for the life of me I can't remember who they are. Trent Williams (Redskins) comes to mind, but I might be wrong.

We suck tonight. But if Oklahoma State beat us every year for the next 50, we'd still have a 16 game advantage.

Especially the GameDay Crew and The Big Ten Network, except for Gerry DiNiardo.

They are jokes, especially U-M hack Desmond Howard. They gave us no chance at all. Well, we have a chance now, you overpaid bloviators.
