  4. If I recall correctly, while Dodds was AD, Texas competed and earned National Championships in baseball, Football, went to the final 4 in Men’s Basketball, and the ladies teams were also fairly solid with some stars as well. During this time Texas featured prominently in a movie or 3, and he struck a deal to get a Network for a single school that is well produced, and gets more games on TV. What a failure.

  5. I don’t know what season we are on right now, but the writers have really stepped it up. Last season kind of sucked. You knew at the beginning the democrats were going to win the midterms. No shocker. They also dragged the Mueller thing way too long. I mean, it was always going to be hard to replicate the amazing 1st season to be fair. Man that had it all. Clinton’s emails. The Trump reveal he’s running with the escalator. The pee tape talk. The access Hollywood tape. The Russian hack. Obama. Wow. But the whole thing this season where the Mueller investigation ends only to dove tail into A DIFFERENT impeachment was a much needed way to keep the momentum of the show while ending that played out storyline. And, having John Bolton get fired only to come back for vengeance to take down Trump? Bolton the anti-hero? Brilliant. I never saw that one coming.

  7. There is a shot of Eagles on the sideline in the last episode of All-Access talking with Corby Meekins. Eagles is telling him he needs to back off the line of scrimmage based on what hes seeing from the CB, Meekins tells him to just work down field and read another player based on something Duvernay is doing. Eagles is clearly frustrated and not getting any answers, looking away and replying "ok, ok, alright". The exchange is a bit cut together but its a look into what the players are dealing with because of our dysfunctional coaching. Meekins has never coached WR before. Hes a high school OC, HC who was brought on by Tom to secure Ed Olivers commitment at UH, given TEs then moved to WR. He is coaching on the sideline bc Mehringer was moved to the box to assist Tim Beck in our play calling committee and continue his progression as Tom's protege. So Eagles has a technical question about what he can do in response to how a CB is covering him. Meekins gives him no advice and instead hits him with how the scheme is designed and what his job is within the scheme. I can see this playing out on both sides of the ball. Players identifying technical issues they're facing, seeking advice and getting scheme regurgitated to them because the coach lacks the technical expertise. This would be especially frustrating for young inexperienced players who have to wait to get the coaching they were searching for in the meeting room the following week, in the form of Mehrinnger lambasting their technique on film at the front of the room.

  9. No clue Not reading it. Not today. Not until after the WS, If then Sick and fucking tired of this story and being beat over the head with it every time I turn around. I just. want. to. talk. baseball. Literally THE most wonderful week of the year if you are an Astros fan and this is all that is discussed everytime I turn around...at least in Texas. I usually hate national media but I’ve listened to a fair amount of MLB radio this week as it’s the one place that seems to be talking actual real baseball with little to no mention of off field stuff I’m done. I wish I could take a 6 hr nap and wake up at 7:08

  10. It's been a grim few weeks. It's hard to know where to even start regarding the Hermantics we're witnessing within the program and on the field right now. Still, there are few things that have struck me as more infuriating or absurd than the rest, and it's kind brimming to the top in my head, so you fellow shitheads will get the brunt of my mental Longhorn vomit. Personnel Selection on offense, 2017-Present: From Herman’s first game against Maryland to now, we continue to witness absolutely baffling personnel choices on offense that are completely fucking indefensible. The empty set with a mediocre-to-shitty TE and any ol’TB lined up wide makes no sense. Every defense we play knows that that look is going to be flashed. Only someone as weak as KU could allow for even a smidgeon of getting taken advantage of beyond a play or two by either position. It’s fucking absurd watching teams mostly ignore both players routinely and then bracketing one or more of the WRs. Meanwhile, Washington and Jake Smith are on the sidelines, witnessing this, and wondering why the fuck they came here. Picking apparent favorites at various spots and continuing to trot them out in order to watch them completely disappear and/or underperform. This season, Malcolm Epps and Cade Brewer both cover this issue. Brewer is a pure mediocrity at TE. It’s worth the program’s time to rotate in either another WR or get looks for other TEs. Fuck it, put two TBs out there at once (remember this fantasy of ours from the summer?). Epps is the smallest 6’6”+ guy I’ve ever seen on a football field. His ability to shrink to any occasion is trending towards phenomenal. There are other WRs worth the look on the roster, and yet he continues to show up and disappoint on multiple snaps. In the past, Kyle Porter, the Marble Falls buffoon at TE whose name I can’t recall and isn’t worth my time to look up, Lorenzo Joe, and sundry other WRs who brought nothing to the table over clearly better alternatives behind them. Naashon Hughes. Goldilocks legacy dildo from Westlake. Right. Attempting to use, or claiming to use, complex analytics for decision-making on certain down and distance throughout the games: Football is not baseball. Football has a sample-size issue that baseball does not. Applying algorithmic logic for decision-making in certain situations and “letting the math do the thinking” sounds great, but the same players against the same types of opponents only get so many reps on 4th and whatever, or goal-line and whatever. Interpreting results of 1000s of other “similar” situations historically and therefore having the dominating results from those situations be the executed solution doesn’t make any sense when your team, with its 11 variables per snap, haven’t faced the opponents’ 11 variables hardly ever. Tom Herman's teams are 40% on 4th down this year, whereas they were at 80% success on 4th last year? You don't say. Maybe our opponents fucking adjusted to the fact that we're going for it on 4th and short on our side of the 50 pretty much always unless a kick to win or tie the game is pertinent. Maybe they also figured out that when we do it, we tend to run for it, and quite often in a delayed push with Sam Ehlinger from the shotgun. Did I need a fucking data scientist to show me that insight? No. It's not 1000 points of data that informs me or DCs for shit on this. It's Tom Herman's fucking tendencies established over his 5 years as a HC that show me this. A sample size of less than 100 instances. Also, kick a field goal early and take the points, asshole. Part of Moneyball theory is arbitraging the fucking trends and tendencies within the industry, even as those things shift. It's not about gathering an insight once and determining all of your future outcomes around that one premise. This is what happens when moderately intelligent dickfaces coaching a children's game decide to masquerade as highly intelligent smartest guys in the room. If you feel good about guys like David Beaty and Chris Ash skulking around the program and providing advice to Herman, you might want to consider some uncomfortable commonalities. It can be argued that the 3 worst staffs assembled for P5 programs in the past 5 years are: Chris Ash's Rutgers' staff is probably one of the worst P5 staffs ever established. Here's a write-up at the time: https://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/2016/01/meet_the_new_rutgers_coaching_staff.html . He basically hired his buddies and cronies and a couple of avuncular influences from his playing days. He cried at his opening press conference, also. This is the fucking guy Herman is whispering about as a replacement for Todd Orlandno? Fuck you, motherfucker. Also: Drew Mehringer as OC is one of the funniest piece of shit moves I can recall. What a fucking disaster. David Beaty's staff at KU when he arrived in 2015 is arguably better than either Herman's Texas staff, and is certainly better than Ash's at Rutgers. However, it still sucks fucking elephant balls. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Kansas_Jayhawks_football_team A few of these guys have gone on to at least get decent work elsewhere. Kubiak continues to leverage his father's name as a coach with the Vikings. Thibodeaux is a decent recruiter at OU. Kane is the DC for a middling defense at SMU. Generally speaking though, this staff is a bunch nobodies that did nothing and will mostly continue to do nothing. Tom Herman's staff upon arrival at Texas in 2017, mostly still intact, is the frothing toilet water being served up to the fanbase for sustenance by the head football genius in charge. Stan Drayton is the only guy on the staff that had any legitimate and untarnished bonafides before joining the staff. Beck had coached in major P5 programs as an OC, and he'd been fired unceremoniously at every stop. Todd Orlandno was the DC equivalent of a butt plug, mostly showing up to haphazardly stop shit at a number of non-P5 backwaters. Oscar Giles was at Texas as an underperforming alum on Mack Brown's staff and otherwise meh. LOL Drew Mehringer. Most of the staff is so inconsequential to the fooball landscape that they don't even have a fucking wikipedia page. Herman could have gone out and hired anyone. He hired a bunch of fucking bros and Not Ready For Prime Time mouthbreathers. Half the staff has been demoted since starting on the staff or at least actively shopped at coaching conferences. Bleh. There is no excuse for this kind of stupidfuckery at a blue blood, much less ours. It can also be argued that Ash's Rutgers program and Beaty's KU program were the worst performing P5 programs over the past 5 years. These are lead guys that are lately in Tom Herman's ear about game prep and program dynamics. Sweet. Finally, Casey Horny being employed at Texas and shadow-coaching and leading the special teams agenda. This rape-enabling, victim-shaming cunt of a man is actively drawing a paycheck from Texas and in doing so, taking a giant hogger shit all over the game day performance of the program's special teams. Why is this guy here and why is he getting to do this shit? Because he and Tom Herman were GAs together at Texas and Tom Herman knows better than you, motherfucker. Nevermind anything else, that's what this is about. This piece of shit needs to have his office cleaned out and be handed a one-way bus ticket to Mt. Vernon, where he can help Art Briles fuck up another group of young females' lives and cheat to win games in 3A football. Anywho. Thoughts?

To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World- Fellow Citizens & compatriots- I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna - I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man - The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken - I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls - I shall never surrender or retreat, because they are terrible, and we should win convincingly.

  27. I saw Buechele drop in some deep throws right on the money like he use too when he was a freshman. Good to see Sonny Dykes got him back to his old self. Strong's staff messed him up and Tom staff did not fix him. It is just very frustrating to see how other staffs actually fix folks techniques while what we have had here for some time fails to properly develop players.

  32. I know you're kidding, but one of the most humorous things I observe perusing numerous cfb message boards is how each fan base really believes they're fundamentally different from the rest. Message board folks are the most fanatical of the fanatics and if you removed any reference to the specific teams/schools, you couldn't tell them apart. It's almost formulaic. The refs are biased against us/in favor of our rivals/opponents. The announcers hate us and love the other team. The other fans are, in every instance, "delusional." If we lose a recruit, the other school doled out the cash. If we get a blue chip commit, it was totally above board, because 18yr old kids will happily turn down bags full of money for the opportunity to play at our school. De-commits are good news, because he's a cancer/wasn't talented/we didn't want him anyway. Decommits are also low character guys who don't keep their word, unless they flip to us, in which case they're stand up kids. Your 3 stars are bread. Our 3 stars are GREAT EVALUATIONS! I could go on all night, but my all time personal favorite, witnessed on every single game thread on every forum, especially surly: The other team is constantly allowed to get away with egregious holding on every play.

  34. Step 1) Put Trump's shit on blast in the House over Ukraine. Step 2) Impeach him. Step 3) Send it over to Mitch. Step 4) While the Senate is conducting their show trial, put Trump's shit on blast over Turkey/Emoluments/Obstruction of the Russia investigation/Pick any of the others. Step 5) Impeach him again. Step 6) Send it over to Mitch. Repeat until public outcry forces Mitch's hand or every citizen in the county is aware that the GOP is keeping a criminal in office and every citizen has taken a side.

  37. So we're pretty soon going to be faced with a situation where there is overwhelming evidence of the very sort of abuse of power impeachable offense that the founders contemplated and created impeachment for. Trump and his enablers' only move is to attack to the process and ignore the Constitution. He will also see himself both invisible after this and more motivated to cover up all of his crimes and corruption. If Senate Republicans do not flip to pressure resignation/remove him, this is it. We have a Trump dictatorship. There's no going back. Don't minimize what's at stake here. If you're considering taking to the streets, now's probably the time.

  38. I think, unfortunately, Texas has a real problem doing in depth, complex coaching hires. For whatever reason, we tend to go after someone who happens to be shiny at the time, despite no clear indication of sustainable success at our level. Herman had done a few decent things, mostly surprise two teams OU and FSU as a head coach and be a somewhat competent OC under an offensive HC. Otherwise, he was very raw as a head coach, yet we acted like we were lucky to have him and gave his every demand. You don't want to money whip the best possible staff Mr Herman? Oh, you do want to throw cash around but only to your friends. Yes sir. Whatever you say. You want to bring on your buddy who was to involved in the rape scandal at Baylor? Oh okay, yes sir. It's been beyond ridiculous and you can tell what parts of Mack Brown Herman took. There is still time for Herman to figure it out but it's not encouraging that Herman had somehow put together a worse staff than Brown. CDC seems to be different in regard to hiring, but time will be the judge. He still has to get past the big money donors who have a shit history of offering bad takes on hires.

He died in his favorite bed, looking out from his favorite spot at the people walking by. I'm going to miss you Char Char. You weren't my dog, but you were my family.
