MB-TF redesign

MB-TF has been redesigned. Pretty slick. I could do without the Nissan Altima advertisement, though.

Forde on Texas: our streak to end?

Pat Forde thinks our 10+-win streak will come to an end this year.

Leinart. What a guy.

I couldn't resist posting this article, which shows Leinart at the height of ridiculousness. "Leinart facing scrutiny over Internet pics"

Included: a beer bong and a hot tub.

Sherrod Harris

Cowgirls' diary mentioning Harris got me thinking--

I'm interested to know what people think will happen with him. Last August, he seemed like the front-runner, but then suffered the injury that pushed Chiles to the top. . .

Chiles clearly has a ton of athletic ability and can scare defenses, but Harris was considered a dual-threat QB, too. Plus, he's rumored to be a better passer, and has an extra year of practice.

Will he continue to ride the pine at UT? Transfer? Amaze everyone this spring with his skills?

? Thoughts ?

"We're not playing together"

crocodile235 — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 17:57:07 -0000

I couldn't help but notice the following Charles quote from yesterday's press conference:

"I don’t know why we’re not dominating, but we’re winning games still. We’re not playing together, but when we connect and when we play together you’ll see us. We’re not dominating right now, but we keep getting better and better every week."

(on MB-TF)

I ignored the optimism bit and focused on the fact that even Charles recognizes that they aren't playing together. This seems to be the key problem. We have great talent at all (at least most) positions, yet the team isn't gelling.

I'd be interested to hear people's opinions on why this is happening.

Personality problems? We've got quite a range of kids here, from felons to future lawyers. . .
No leaders? No one seems to have stepped up yet.
Overconfidence? Underconfidence?
Dissatisfaction with the coaching schemes?

Also, can this be fixed?
Can a team be born from a group of individuals? You can't teach camaraderie. You can't force people to be in synch.
And what about PASSION? I watched OTHER teams play with it this weekend.
