Actually, looking back, I would want only one do-over

[Limp Lizard]

That was the ISU game. In the week preceeding the game lost Tucker after having lost James, Boykin switched to RB, then Wed night lost Pachall, Boykin moved back at the last minute to QB. Everything went wrong that week. Even with little practice Boykin did everything well except protect the ball. Casey should have at least screwed up on Sat night, so Boykin could have been more ready....not to mention BJ and Dean, too. Really, really should have won that game but everything was against us.

A lot of teams would have gone in the tank after that, but GP kept it together, and we are going to another bowl game. Amazing, and kudos to the coaches and team for pushing through the adversity.

I agree. That was messed up week.

Isn't that what you really meant?

Hmm...someone who really remembers what I write. Williamson didn't go into the tank...same crappy OL play as before! :tongue: I still am willing to hope that we will at least improve in our pass protection, which normally we do well under Williamson.....but this year????where is the barf emoticon when you need it?

 

[SnoSki]

We missed Pachall the most in the ISU and Oklahoma State games, IMO

 

[Gamecock in DFW]

No doubt about it that outcome is different if played again. Regardless of the opponent that fate was almost sealed for that one.

 

[dkfrog]

I really don't understand the Williamson hate...this is the same guy who has produced many NFL o-linemen and pieced together a very solid (albeit makeshift) offensive line in 11/12.

ISU hurt - TT was worse, in my humble opinion.

Go Frogs!

 

[ReedFrawg]

Agree with your general theory on ISU but I want a do-over on the Tech game...

 

[HToady]

ISU was my only regret too, but had we gone for two against Tech in the 2nd OT I would have been happier win or lose.

I think CGP learned on that one that you need to control the outcome....

 

[froginaustin]

Baylor, Texas, and SMU ( :biggrin: ) fan boards have quite a few posters that REALLY want do-overs against TCU.

Do-overs are for lousy golfers (I'm one).

I'm right there with you. ISU I can understand (rationalize?). TT loss sucks, stings, rankles and, looking over the season from this perspective, is more difficult to explain.

 

[Boomhauer]

Yep, the TT overtime is the one I keep wishing we could have back. Would have been so great to own wins over Texas, Tech, Baylor, and SMU in the same year.

 

[jake102]

Texas Tech is the game that kills.

 

[Limey Frog]

If Casey gets pulled over in the early hours of Sunday morning instead of Thursday, we win the game and finish 8-4. But, c'est la vie.

 

[toadallytexan]

With Casey we win 10.

 

[Gunner]

With Casey next year we win the 12. If he had stayed, we would have won every 12 game with the possible exception of Okie State. We just plainly played bad up there, GP saying he let his team get too tired.

I consider WV and Tech a wash for that reason.

 

[Limp Lizard]

I consider WV and Tech a wash for that reason.

Yeah, we played well against both WV and TT, but ISU was the game that we came into totally messed up. You lose OT games and you win them, but the ISU game was a perfect storm of mishaps before the game.

 

[ftwfrog]

Texas Tech is the game that kills.

Agreed. Losing to Iowa State? I can live with. Losing to Tech's second rate program is downright embarrassing.
