2012 Cowboy Football Preview (Stupid Early Edition)
As I'm sure everyone knows by know, the 2012 Big 12 football schedule has been released (finally, dicks).Along with that comes speculation as to how the season will shape up. I'm here to answer that. Sure, we don't know who our quarterback will be and we don't know who "the guy" at wide receiver will be, but who cares? In Gundy I Trust (but fuck Bill Young). Along with being stupid early, this will also be stupid short. It's late, I'm tired, and my boss is an ass making me work 12 hour days (like I give a shit the future of the company rides on the project.) Oh wait, damn, now I do.
Savannah State: Win, next.
at Arizona: Win. They will get better, but as we saw at Michigan, it takes RichRod a while to get his players to fit his scheme, and in the meantime he can't adapt to what he has.
Louisiana: Win. As Todd Monken so eloquently put it, they only had one NFL type player last year, but we had Blackmon so fuck them. Also, that player is now gone, and it's at home, and well, they're still ULL to me.
Texas: Win. I know, they're the longhorns, they have the best players money can buy that can be recruited. Talent so deep 5 stars have to suck dick to get on the practice squad. But they have no quarterback, poor receivers, and no good shot at fixing those next year. Their defense will be stout, but I think we'll still win (3 in a row baby), especially considering we have a bye week before them.
at Kansas: Win. The new fat ass jerk has proved he can't coach college. Enjoy your 3 million dollar mistake Jayhawks.
Iowa State: Win. We better fucking win, and we need to hurt as many of their players as we can. And then riot and lynch their fans. And then steal their buses and drive back to Ames and burn that shit hole to the ground. And then we'll be even.
TCU: Win. Yeah, that's partially a homer pick, but I also think the wear and tear of the Big 12 will show up on the Frogs, and we should have our qb situation sorted out by then. (This one is about 50/50 though, and I wouldn't be shocked if we lost. Pissed, but not shocked)
at Kansas State: Loss. Yeah, gay, I know. But nobody should realistically be expecting to go 12-0 this season (except the players). And really, this could be winnable, but that all depends on our defense. If we can slow down Klien and the Wildcat run game at all, we will have a shot. But until I see that, I'm going loss.
West Virginia: Win. Same reason as TCU, schedule grind and all that. Also, we know all Dana's plays, they have no defense (Syracuse beat them by 26 and Louisville put up 38 i their win), and Red Bull is for people with AIDS. Real men drink NOS.
Texas Tech: Win. Did they show you anything last year that leads you to believe they will be better this year on the road? Didn't think so.
at Oklahoma: Probably Loss (but fuck those guys, you know). I think most likely blOU will probably win, but with Landry Jones at the helm, no Ryan Broyles, and Whaley probably injured by this time, we will have a shot. Hell, if Tech can do it...
at Baylor: Win. No RG3, no bowl game.
So if ma math is right that's 10-2, and considering this is a rebuilding year, is fucking awesome. After the spring game I can try and revisit this, but I probably won't. I think, at worst, we win 8 games, and for OSU on a "down" year, that's badass. And who knows, if we find us a QB we can be dangerous.
Fuck the haters,

Great post king.
To get all conspiracy theory, I think the powers that be (ie Boone) more than likely projected this group as realistically bringing us to the promises land. The 2010/2011 teams both greatly exceeded expectations by taking raw low star talent, working them through the “system” and putting out the biggest bunch of badasses I have ever seen as a Poke. This is the year that we see if the “system” is real and if we crank out anything north of 8 wins and show signs of a good QB, a decent defense and people who run and/or catch the ball we’re in it to win it baby.
I would love to see something ridiculous happen and run the table….I’ve been surprised quite a bit the last few years and am starting to think it might be the new normal.

And yes I am being a homer a little bit...

WV is a coin flip.
TCU’s defense last year was extremely shakey especially against the pass. I don’t see them taking huge strides in improvement this year. WV is going to bring a ton of firepower. We’ll have to keep our foot on their necks the entire game.

Not a Big Fan
Of Rhoads’ teams in “revenge” games. The only game that we won where the other team was out for revenge was Texas Tech this year and I blame that squarely on Tubberville.
Think the game in Stillwater this year will be a good one but not sure who pulls it out in the end.

I really enjoy how angry King is.
Even he did just say he was going to lynch me.

Tcu just got easier,
4 dealers on the team, probably triple in heavy users. No wonder their d is always so fired up, cocaine’s a hell of a drug.

Also having savannah state on the schedule is
A god damn joke. If that’s the best holder can do he needs to quit. Savannah fucking state, I could probably scrape together an intramural team and compete. They were 1-10 in d-1aa last year (fcs can suck it). In sure Tulsa would be game, or Boise, or fuck some other d-1a opponent.

We've played some
meh teams over the years but this one rises to the top. Feel sorry for those forced to pay for this thru season tickets. At least Grambling had a band, right?
Not just a band, a badass band,
whom we gave about 4 minutes of time to.

I'm totally going to troll over here...
when UT and its three headed monster demolishes you in Stillwater…and you will take it all, and you will like it!

Deloss promoted 6th street Leslie to QB coach
University of Texas, where 5 star recruits go to end their careers.
Who do we pick to win the QB job
I don’t want another, I’m a man, I’m forty, situation.
Chelf doesn’t excite me. I’m rooting for Lunt to be a stud. He’s a monken guy, so he might have an edge, but either way he will be a true freshman.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.

The best will win it.
I don’t think it will be Lunt. His head will be spinning. It would probably be better for him to redshirt anyway.
I think this will be a race throughout spring between Chelf and Walsh and I doubt it will last past summer.

I'm thinking and hoping it's Chelf
Not sure why the fanbase has such a downtrodden look on Chelf. The kid is solid and can make all the throws, IMO.
Chelf and Walsh are similar...
With run/pass QBs, we are likely to play both. Who ever is hot will get the most snaps…
King- you are a puss. Man up...
WV we win wi the best secondary in the Big 12. Next….
OU? You need to watch Bedlam again. Chili Britches career is over. Elkins,Craig, Jones, Blatnick, Lewis hand him squeezing fudgecicles before end of first q.
Cats? We return our entire D rotation except for DEs. Cats had to put on their most heroic performance in years to stay in he game.
I am not predicting a 12-0 season, but no reason we aren’t preseason favs in all these games. Don’t suck the hype pipe on Stoopid. They were preseason #1 last year. Horns have lots of work to do to even deserve a mention.
So you're saying that as an ISU fan
I may want to rethink doing the Stillwater road game this year?
