Given up points before half….a timeless tradition.

Thought we were going to give up our traditional end of 1st half points, but kudos to defense there .

Feels like are down 6 but will take it.

We better come out in 2nd half and punch these guys in the mouth.

Really worried about our LB situation.

First half.
Offense did what it needed to do. Expect more running second half.
Special teams was solid.
Defense had its moments but woof. I expect they will figure things out a bit second half. Need a three and out to start the second half.

Campbell is so lucky he played in the weakest big 12/8 in conference history or else he’d be coaching d2 right now
Dude. This is game 1. Lighten up.

People need to support our team, even thru adversity. If we don't have the season we all want (not saying we won't), we still need to support our guys.

One of the reasons I argue strongly against the "just win the game" argument with the soon to be 12-team CFP system, we are at a disadvantage. Big 12 teams are and will be in an uphill battle with all the metrics that matter, compared to the D2 (recruiting, facilities, NIL, etc.).

It's amazing how quickly people ***** about our teams, every year! Sure, we would like to up by 4 TD's and it'd be great to stop ND on every possession, with no 1st downs allowed, etc, etc.

It's probably best to lessen expectations in both FB and BB, generally, and try to enjoy the games, regardless of what happens. Root for the team and players, good or bad. And remember, game 1. We've been here before.

Rocco missed a couple throws and the defense had one drive where they couldn't get a stop but it really wasn't that bad. Health at LB is my only concern. Some of you need to calm the **** down.
