  1. Carl Reed Jr.'s dad was once Man of the Year at Shermer High. He then pursued a career in the Custodial Arts and landed a strategic position at his alma mater in order to become "the eyes and ears of this institution." I think we can trust him.
  2. He just shit that deer and he's working on another one. We all have our specialties...mine's fruit salad. Tommie Harris was a helmet shitter. Unicorns shit rainbows. It's science.
  3. Hmm. Homer was created and drawn by a guy named Matt. Also, substitute a 'g' for the 'c' in Lance, and you have Lange. Also, within a double-stranded DNA molecule, cytosine bases on one strand pair with guanine bases on the opposite strand (C-G). It all adds up. Welcome back to the 40, Lange!
  4. Alright, this being Surly, I don't object to this post. But it does make me want to point out the fact that Dick Tomey had an impact on our upward trajectory in 2004. Sure, Greg Robinson gets a ton of credit but don't forget Tomey's contribution. We started playing tougher, no question about that. Which leads to the current topic. This past season's Longhorn team was known to be very tough and physical (per sources on opposing coaching staffs). Who gets credit for this? I hope it wasn't mostly Davis and Choate. If so, I think that's one of the most important elements of replacing our DL coach, perhaps more important than plus recruiting ability. I think the comments on this thread suggest Rod Wright has IT. If memory serves, he was one very large piece of the 4th and 2 stop of LenDale White. If I'm on the DL, I'd listen to Rod Wright.
  5. His surrogate dad/father figure Steve McNair was traded away from the Titans before VY could get there. And he was killed three years later. So his support system crumbled in parallel to his difficulty with "Coach 7-9."
  6. Man what a precious memory. So I have a story about this. That evening I saw Ty Allert at Maggie Mae's and he introduced me to his fellow San Diego LB teammate Billy Ray Smith. I was so happy about the game I asked Ty if he saw that final play and Billy Ray started moaning in pain. Of course, I wasn't even thinking about him being a former Razorback. He was very cool about it, seemed like a very nice guy. Fun times.
  7. In his Monday press conference recently, he said he does a post-mortem of the season and that they evaluate everyone on staff starting with himself. I would love to know how fair and complete of a job the evaluation looks and use that as a guide to how we should look at his compensation. Given his past, I was very concerned when we hired him because of the amount of stress that comes with the UTHFC position. I thought it would be one of the most difficult challenges to his sobriety imaginable. I love that he's been successful and the growth that he's obviously had over the years, including his time on the 40. At this point he does look like our long-term guy. It's so damn nice to have this feeling again.
  8. Exactly what I was thinking. Only way I could get on board with him in that role with us would be to have a ceremony out on the field each time he lands a big fish (or beats aggy in a H2H recruiting fight) where we hand him a giant check from the 12th Man Foundation, without whom none of this would be possible.
  9. That man's name was Mark Mangino.
  10. Fuck it, let him through! BTW, for anyone familiar with TDECU, are the SRO tix worth getting?
  11. ^^BTW, aggy was #3, so I assume that their sheep activities counted in the figures.
  12. It's funny you mention him. When I read the post by Codaxx about Brooks being untouched and crediting the OL...well, as a former OL myself I approve. But I saw at least a few plays yesterday when Brooks showed patience and let the OL get some movement to allow Brooks to "make himself skinny" and get through a developing hole. It's RBs to figure this out, so they make bad cutback decisions or plow into the mob and get very little. When the light came on for Priest, he performed much better getting through tight spaces and he went from good to great.
  13. Calling a Longhorn DL Mongo? I love it! Go have yourself a Steve McMichael level career, Melvin!
  14. Given that someone upthread asked about her daughter, and given the recent divorce development, I took it upon myself to check the Twitter feed of Claudia Conway. Somehow I had missed this gem from last summer:
  15. So you're suggesting that development disorders are pervasive on this forum? Maybe it's because previous coaching regimes couldn't develop shit. It's looking like the current staff is not suffering from the same disorder. There's hope, Surly.
  16. I had them all out there stepping and fetching Like their heads were on fire and their asses was catching
  17. Mama fan fiction alternate ending: Golding: "Lane's calling me." Saban: "Yeah, I know. I just gave him permission." Golding: "Oh, that was very classy of him to call you and ask for permission." Saban: "No, I called him." Golding (pensive pause): "Oh, ok."
  18. Hey that mutherfucker scored two safeties in one game! (although he took it very nonchalantly)
  19. oh shit I forgot you used to live here in Galveston, didn't you? I haven't heard that jackhole Kent's name in a minute but what a pompous ass he is.
