I don't think I have ever heard a bigger pile of bullshit, from any Texas coach, in any sport, ever.

Lulz.   Brown has that market cornered, and forever will.  Go to your Cotton Bowl pressers in 00, 03, 11 and 12.    Whenever you somehow have to explain losing to your most bitter, hated and despised rival by an average of 50 fucking points, 4 times, you're going to have the bullshit thing figured out, pat.   And Brown did.  

I still can't believe we had that situation in the Cotton Bowl -  4 times when authorities were looking for players next-of-kin as a result of those clusterfucks.  Ugh.

He reminded everyone today that our football team hasn't won three games in a row since 2013.

It's still hard to believe that this is where we are.

That's strike two.  Strike one was not really getting Lenny and the rabbit correct. So, not Mensa?

Wow. Charlie beat OSU in 2014?
I do not remember that.


From the Texas Football website:

STILLWATER, Okla. -- Tyrone Swoopes passed for 305 yards and two touchdowns and Texas' defense stifled Oklahoma State throughout a dominant 28-7 victory Saturday night at Boone Pickens Stadium that saw the Longhorns (6-5, 5-3 Big 12) become bowl eligible.

Swoopes connected on 24 of 33 passes while recording his third 300-yard game of the year to help the Longhorns win their third straight. The Texas defense stymied the Cowboys (5-5, 3-4) all the way through, allowing just 192 yards of total offense in the game, including just 34 on the ground.

In the first half, Texas' defense forced four three-and-outs and allowed just 51 total yards as Swoopes and the offense built a 19-0 lead.

The Longhorns pressured Oklahoma State quarterback Daxx Garman persistently, recording seven sacks and 10 tackles for loss while also forcing two turnovers. Malcom Brown led the way with a pair of sacks, and Dylan Haines had an interception and a fumble recovery.

Texas accounted for 430 total yards of offense. Johnathan Gray led the rushing attack with 81 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries.

Nick Rose connected on three field goals for Texas, with his final one coming from 44 yards midway through the third quarter to extend the lead to 22-0.

Oklahoma State was able to get on the scoreboard with 13:09 left in the game when Garman hit Blake Jarwin for an 8-yard touchdown that capped a 10-play, 61-yard drive.

Swoopes, though, directed a 95-yard touchdown drive on the ensuing possession and put the exclamation point on the game with a 45-yard touchdown strike to Armanti Foreman.

A strong first half from the Longhorns was the difference in the game.

For the second week in a row, Texas marched right down the field on its first drive of the game for a touchdown. Swoopes, who opened the West Virginia game last week by going 4 of 4 for 53 yards and a touchdown, again had a hot start. The sophomore went 5 of 5, hitting four different receivers, including a 19-yard TD strike to John Harris on third-and-10.

On its next possession, the Longhorns rode the legs of Gray who rushed four times for 35 yards and had a 17-yard catch on the series. Gray punched it in from 6 yards out to cap the nine play, 81-yard drive which made it 13-0.

After the defense made another stop, Texas built on its lead when Rose drilled a career long 51-yarder to make it 16-0 with 9:33 left in the second quarter.

Texas' fourth drive of the game was also poised to net points, but Rose clanked a 21-yard field goal attempt off the upright that kept the score 16-0 with 2:34 left in the first half.

The Longhorns scored on four of five first half possessions. Rose made a 34-yarder with 43 seconds left in the first half to give Texas a 19-0 lead going to the locker room.

Texas did some of its best work on third down, starting the game 6 of 6 and finishing 11 of 19. Oklahoma State, on the other hand, was just 2 of 13.

Herman is Curley from Of Mice... He's a pseudo tough guy who bullies everyone  because he's got the power of ownership,has a glove filled w/vaseline because nothing feels better than jerking his own self off, gets his ass kicked and doesn't know what his wife(team) is doing behind his back.

He should be quoting the Art of War. But if it has to be about killing rabbits, a reference the Holy Hand Grenade would have been nice. There are other inspirational rabbit murders he could have discussed.  Elmer Fudd sang about killing wabbits to Wagner. Aerosmith said the rabbit done died.  Dorothy Stratten was killed by her pimp husband; her tits were very inspirational. And now Tom Herman has killed one in a presser by sheer will of his mensa powers. I suddenly have a need to go to specs.

Well done. Well done indeed.

Herman told Anthony Wheeler, when film study showed he had problems with missing tackles, that Wheeler should read Don Quixote.  “Anthony, there’s a famous expression from that book about tilting at windmills.  Now how does that relate to your tackling?  Well, think about it.  A windmill is like a human body with a center of mass and then limbs rotating around it.  The point of the book was that Don Quixote was never going to take down that windmill if he kept aiming at the moving wheel.  You got to get low, aim for the base, and keep tilting until that RB goes to the turf.”

Until they slide when you are going low.  Then you are ejected for targeting....

And a lead story on ESPN's site, as well it should be when a $5MM+ / year coach of a storied program doesn't have a clue. 

 

 

He actually believes his bullshit, and that's a symptom of the problem.  They were "trying too hard for each other" and that's it.

It's the coaching stupid, yet he blames the players.  He does it in a way he thinks is complementing them, but he's blaming the players.

  I watched a bunch of games, and I saw a lot of flying around, athleticism, motion, speed, lots of shit.  

I saw very little of that from us, primarily on offense.  There's a play where the TE goes in motion toward the guard, Sam takes the snap and turns to the side frozen for what feels like 5 seconds before the back takes the handoff and runs into a pile of bodies.  

Such a slow developing play, and the little motion involved is drawing the defense right to the point of attack   It's only one example but its representative of the offense we ran most of the day

Tom obviously doesn't know his audience, not referring to fucking sportswriters, but we Longhorns.  I would wager half of us could wipe our ass with his mensa card.  Tom is the stupidest troll that has ever fucked with us.  Piss on his arrogant ass!    This starting Sam against Tulsa nonsense is just rubbing shit in our faces!  Get his ass gone!

Any dipshit fan can tell we suck. It takes Mensa to tell us why. 

I keep seeing the Mensa crap. Where in the hell did this come from? Was there a typographical error in the beginning where it was cut off when it should have meant menstrual pad? Because his coaching is definitely on the rag and covered in blood.

No we’re all very impressed with high school reading requirements

Awfully close to a Hemingway quote on the last line.  If this dipshit keeps it up he is going to be as popular as Salman Rushdie after the Satanic Verses came out.

Watching the Rewind show right now and Collin Johnson just said "Losing a game doesn't make you a loser."  Uhh... yeah it does.  It's kind of the literal definition of the word.  Now you don't have to be a loser all season, but each time you lose a game you most certainly are a loser that day.   There are winners and losers every week and you are absolutely one or the other with no in-between.

I couldn't take watching any post-game comments or today's press conference. Did anyone ever explain why Boyce was never within 10 yards of any receiver he tried to cover?

Lol. He got softball questions man and felt like he got asked 8-10 questions tops. They also felt scripted to me as none were hard questions at all.

Hard to argue with that

Feels like the millennials can’t handle being called a loser so they are softening the blow by telling them this type of shit.

i personally think these kids lose a game then flip out “just because we lost today doesn’t mean it will define our entire season or life”. Ok calm down we are talking about the game, you lost the game not at life Collin! I bet these kids where onesies and cry a lot.

you're trying too hard when it's unnecessary.

losing a game means you lost a game. it doesn't make you a loser, except of that game.

there are plenty of other things we can drill down on.

Losing two straight openers to Maryland makes you a loser.  

And now you have 11 more games to prove everyone wrong.

I know Chris Warren is on IR, but does anyone get the feeling that Johnson, like Warren, is saving himself for NFL, per Daddy?
