  1. Legitimately, who gives a fuck what Tom Herman has to say anymore?

  2. Sorry, man, but anyone still ardently supporting this program with their time and money isn't "entitled" or "whiny". That's just a lazy take. The players? Yeah, they continue to be "entitled" and "whiny" without getting it done on the field for more than a full decade. There are plenty of fans who give their time and money without asking for a thing in return outside of having the audacity to hope that Texas will field a competent team that, maybe every now and then, attempts to compete for a title. Singing The Eyes isn't a hill I'm going to die on, but to view such elements of college sports as irrelevant is to conclude that CFB should be viewed on par with professional sports. You're welcome to that kind of subjective position, but you don't get to project it onto everyone else.

  3. ok, i'm thinking about this in real time, but let's take a quick look... mike tv - obsessed with tv violet - ate everything, had a weight problem, talked shit to her best friends, ended up with her face being an abnormal color veruca - spoiled little brat, wanted everything now, yelled and screamed and had tantrums when she didn't get her way augustus - german background, also fucking fat, didn't listen to warnings from professionals and experts charlie - really fucking poor is trump a horrific yet perfectly formed amalgamation of all the wonka contestants?

  5. Honest to God, this is just so incredible. It's the definition of "mission creep." The entire thing started as a bad-faith attempt to snooker people into going back to work/school/shopping to get the economy going before the election in November. They weren't even particularly covert about saying it--Dan Patrick said it out loud. But the economy didn't recover. Schools, restaurants, and bars haven't reopened. And they're not going to before the election--that ship has sailed. So there's now no point to it, right? You can just put on a mask and save lives. Let's do all the social distancing and protocol-following that we should've been doing for seven months. But no--they've completely lost the original purpose. Now the anti-maskism is its own purpose. I don't know what that purpose is. But it's definitely a thing. These utter morons, who haven't had a strategic thought in their lives, are running our country. It's insane.

  8. He also said, "Don't be scared of Covid." You know, because all of you dumbasses will also have a helicopter take you to the hospital and give you 500K worth of care - strictly as a precaution. We'd all be better off with this fucker dead.

  10. I'm with you here. I don't think Texas replaces Herman this year even if he goes 4-6. Now, I hope I am wrong, for sure. Don't do this to yourself. I don't throw the word "hate" around much. It's an abused word, like "love" and "genius" and from a generally religious/karmic perspective, I've tried not to throw much hate into the ether over the years. I've been told previously that I hate Tom Herman and denied it, because it wasn't true. Now? I'm comfortable with the label. As a fan, I hate this motherfucker. He's a joysquashing piece of shit intent on teabagging the Texas program repeatedly until all we see as fans is his hairy beanbag across our collective nose while all we can smell is hot, sweaty cheese assaulting every part of our olfactory system. He is a fucking jellyfish if there ever was one. It's like he strives to keep games close while methodically sticking to the same stupid playcalling and pathetic personnel choices. We have a burgeoning NFL TE in Wiley making plays out there, yet we keep witnessing Brewer take the majority of the snaps in order to publicly illustrate the definition of "irrelevant" on a football field. The team is perpetually undisciplined. The HC himself is a smug rube without a clue, so far in over his head at this point that it's likely he doesn't even know which way is up. I enjoy the members and dialogue of the recruiting board, so I'll keep reading and posting, but I'm squarely in support of the premise at this point that talent is irrelevant when coaching is incompetent. This motherfucker is incompetent. Our best hope for change within the next few months is some sort of personal scandal.

  12. #1 He didn't close the borders. Plenty of people still came in from China #2 Point 1 is meaningless, because the virus was already here. #3 If we had done a serious and immediate lockdown, like in South Korea, enforced down through every level of government, many 10s of thousands of lives would have been saved. South Korea listened to the scientists. They have a population of 52million with less than 450 Covid deaths. Texas listened to Trump. Texas has a population of 29 million and close to 17K dead.

  15. Thanks for the kind words. Regarding your question: 1) They had Matt Campbell lined up with a UT loss to Tech at home at the end of 2019. Texas won and CDC balked at doing anything and persuaded enough folks to stay the course with him. I posted on this on the football board during the bowl season if you're looking for something contemporaneous at the time. 2) Given that, pre-corona, Herman had no allies and was hanging on by the skin of his teeth, the mandate was two top 5 recruiting finishes (2020 & 2021), a Big 12 title in 2020, and a playoff appearance, or damned near one. The recruiting stuff could be apocryphal and I was a skeptic at the time. The rest has been repeated in one form or another across $9.95er-land and I doubt all of the sources are the same. 3) The "$$ is lining up for Urban Meyer" train is starting to pick up steam. I have zero clue how much of that is real vs wishcasting. 4) I'm tired of this bullshit. If they go get Urban Meyer, yee-fucking-haw. I am guessing I was high and mighty about drawing the line short of Urban Meyer at some point. @SydneyCarton asked me & @HenryJamesthis weekend where we drew the line on a HC at Texas. Oddly, it turns out, I apparently draw the line just past Urban Meyer and long before JoePa, OU coaches in general, and Art Briles. I don't blame anyone for taking higher ground than that, but I've lost my illusions about the integrity of college sports over the course of the last decade plus and corona has sent me into NoFucksGivenLand in ways that nothing else could have. The dude is there for the taking, it would be a wonderful troll job on the Hermanosaurus Wrecks, and we'll win. Fuck it. We've got the embarrassment and lack of integrity with the current guy in charge, might as well have the fucking wins too.

  16. This was always the most likely outcome. Guy gets tested daily. The second it’s positive he’s pumped full of drugs that ordinary people can’t get, has a team of 9 doctors attending to only him. No surprise he pulls through. The rest of the country: If you think you have covid, stay home until you can’t breathe. Fuck this guy.

  17. Anyone doubting whether urban is the right option, tell me one coach (aside from saban and dabo who aren't moving) who you'd be more pissed to hear is taking over at ou? Or aggy? I can't think of a single coach I'd hate to see hired more at those schools, which tells you all you need to know about who we should be pursuing here. If we don't, it's only a year or two at max before usc pulls the trigger and we all get to watch as he builds them back to a power program, which is what he'll do wherever he goes next. Even if you argue he's past his coaching prime (and based on what, exactly?), the immediate recruiting jolt would help you rebuild for at least 2-3 years and set you up for the next guy. It's time to stop fucking around and go all in on someone proven. We tried the up and comer route twice in a row and got burnt. Giving Herman four years was probably the right thing given the "cake" he was handed and some of the early obvious improvement, but unless we go undefeated the rest of the way you have to argue he had his chance and failed. Time to level up.

  19. Who gives a shit about the players staying for The Eyes. It was agreed they didn't have to do it anymore if they didn't want to. If that doesn't sit well with our entitled, whiny fan base then those people can fuck off. If we were undefeated and blowing people out, no one would give a shit about the players not staying for the Eyes.

  21. Goddamn you are stupid. Trump caused it by not taking the virus seriously, downplaying its severity, and telling people it would just disappear. People have died because he is a narcissistic asshole who cannot help but lie about every fucking thing. That is why he is to blame and not the medical professionals doing their best to set guidelines to keep the population safe, you fucking ignorant twat waffle.

  23. That clip highlights something that has been bothering me about how Fox News and the like speak about trump. Maybe it’s just the first time I’ve been paying this close attention, but I can’t remember any mainstream media exalting a president like they do with Trump. And I just don’t understand it. I get talking up your guy. But I don’t understand the desire to build him up to such mythical standards. He doesn’t just work hard, he works harder than anyone who has ever lived. He’s not just fighting covid, he’s fighting it with a fervor that no one else can muster. And not only do I not get the desire to do it, I don’t see how it’s not plainly transparent bullshit. Even if the man worked hard, why say he has a work ethic that the rest of us can only dream of? It’s so over the top that, at least at the fringes of their target market, it has to turn some people off. it comes off as goofy North Korean style propaganda and I don’t fucking get it.

  25. The first time I sang "The Eyes" at a UT football game was in 1963. I'm also a graduate, a foundation donor, and a season ticket holder. And I have been, both before and during this entire 11-season shitshow we've been watching, while our entitled coaches and team don't have enough pride to give a fuck that our program sucks. It matters to me if the team doesn't represent the WINNING traditions of the University of Texas. The whiny and entitled are IN the program. So, you can fuck off if you don't like that, and so can they.

  27. First, fuck Tom Herman. Now that we have that out of the way... BJ Foster's return to the team was co-signed by the players. Overshown is aligned as fuck, and please, who should be playing Will in his stead? The walk-on or the true freshman? Okafor and Cook were co-signed by the team. I don't think Okafor would be starting if Hookfin was healthy and Cook isn't starting, so all of your point is essentially useless. There are no Javonne Shepherds in the locker room. The culture is defined by the staff and upheld by the team. If the team isn't upholding it, fuck yeah the player counsel needs to do something about it. Should Tom have said that to the press? Eh, poor choice. Is that what is going to lose the locker room? No. I love shitting on Tom. He's not getting it done here. But, at some point, the players have a responsibility to achieve their potential. I do believe that the staff is doing their best to put them in a position to succeed, specifically the coordinators, and it's time the team won despite the fact that there is a solipsistic asshat in charge.
