  2. The IT Scoop today was Basically seem like if Urban wants it the job is his. Money shouldnt be a problem although the optics will look bad. My favorite quote "Some of the most instrumental people in bringing him to Texas are out on him for much the same reasons the fans are. It’s hard to overstate the level of frustration with Herman from people who have influence over his immediate future." Firing him mid season is definitely not off the table.

  3. Hope so. I know he’s made a lot of money but he literally costed himself 9 figs in the long run. Or basically 4 years of nursing salaries

  4. Look, remote work may sound good on the surface, but there's a real dark side to it. The male brain was just not designed to be constantly presented with a difficult choice between paying attention to a really boring meeting or masturbating, day-in, day-out.

  9. Super K-TFB.... I know there has been a lot of twitter talk about the desire by some Texas fans to see Texas hire Urban Meyer. Of course much of this is premature. Herman still has a path to redemption – make it to the Big 12 championship and win. But I have now heard from multiple folks that back channel donor talk dealing with Urban has already begun. I have no idea what that means about the potential for the hire to materialize but I can say it seems it’s not just a discussion happening on twitter.

  15. Trump literally says the same 3 sentence about every topic. Covid: it came from China, it never should of happened. I shut it down, saving millions of lives and Biden called me a Xenophobe. We did a great job, now we have the cures and vaccines and regeneron. BLM: we all saw the tape, it was horrible. Our law enforcement are great. There are a few bad apples but the antifa came in and destroyed our cities and the democratic governors did nothing. I’ve done more for black people than anyone besides maybe Lincoln, you know that, I funded the black colleges. white supremacy: I condemn them but I also condem antifa, they’re are a terrorist group that is destroying our cities like Portland, like Seattle, Economy: I created the greatest economy in the history of our country, then we had to shut it down, but we’re getting it going again, it’s going to be back better than the likes you’ve never seen. Taxes: They’re under audit. I pay millions in taxes. I’m going to release them. I’ve been treated very unfairly by the IRS, perhaps more than anymore, but they’re under audit. Foreign: They came at me with the fake media. Russia Russia Russia. No collusion. [insert two new sentences about Hunter Biden] This literally will be most of the words said by Trump the entire night. In fact, The Biden campaign should just tweet out a written statement explaining this and a written rebuttal of with links and evidence explaining how full of shit each of these statements are. Just so when he says them hours later everyone can look at their scorecard and laugh. Because every single word is a lie

  17. You will be able to knock me over with a feather if Texas runs the table to 8-2 from here. The HC has a pathological need to play games close, and yet he has no attention to details, weak grey matter in his skull, and no fucking sack to do what needs to be done with the game on the line. I expect him to choke his way to 5-5, but I concede that 6-0 on the way to 8-2 is entirely possible. It will just be shocking. Good point. Franklin will absolutely be more expensive than Meyer. If anyone ever argues the $$ angle as to why Texas couldn't sign Urban Meyer: 1) They should be permabanned for being idiots 2) They'd have to be talking about someone like Matt Campbell, as most anyone else has a significant buyout and is already earning $4+ as well. It's fine to be opposed to a hire for whatever reasons you choose, but to then come back in the same post and cite Mullen and Cristobal as better options is ... kind of amazing. Mullen will never win the SEC while at UF. He's building his usual paper tiger based off of sketchy recruiting choices. He's not Tom Herman, don't get me wrong. He'll steadily have them at 8-4/10-2 regular seasons, hunchbacking them all the way to "solid". Calling him far superior to Franklin, morally, coaching-wise, recruiting-wise, whatever, is laughable. Cristobal is flatly corrupt in recruiting. They might as well just hire Barry Switzer. Whatever the issues are with Meyer, he's not fundamentally corrupt when it comes to recruiting. I am not sure Cristobal could conduct the clean recruitment of a fucking saint. Beyond that, he's done less as a coach than Franklin and has shown his ass repeatedly in end of game situations. Finally, Nike wants to Texas to be good. They want Oregon to be good. They don't want one of those schools being good to ruin the chances at the other school. Nike will have a voice whenever they feel it is required. Also, Phil Knight and Meyer are buddies, and there's some smoke around PK actually helping recruit UM to lending an ear to the Texas money players.

  20. I spoke to a guy who is both involved in the recruiting world beyond UT and knows BC well. Wherever that rumor started, it should have died. The dude hasn't done anything of the sort. Beyond hearsay, the issue just doesn't pass the logic test either. It doesn't make any sense for a recruiting coordinator to do that unless he wants to be blackballed from ever working in CFB again. It sounds like the kind of shit that could only fester in a place like Orangebloods. No way 247 or IT would let it catch any fire, as all of those guys know BC and deal with him. Only Obloods is disconnected enough and lazy enough to let that kind of premise get any footing.

  24. Franklin would be a horrible hire. He's expensive, his offense doesn't fit the Big 12 at all, his Gameday management skills make Andy Reid look like a savant, and you probably don't want to look too deeply into what went on under his watch at Vandy. If we don't land Urban and Bellmont picks Franklin they've learned absolutely nothing. Conduct a proper search. At least try and go after Cristobal, Dan Mullen, or the other far superior candidates before settling for Franklin. Fuck, I'd take Matt Campbell over Franklin. He would be a disaster here.

  25. I see the following as difficult to disprove: 1. College Football is better (Nationally) when Texas is good. 2. Big 12 NEEDS Texas to be good in order to be relevant. 3. There is a general respect for Texas on a national scale, but also a general disdain. The respect is diminishing. So in summary, many out there need us to be good so that they can hate us. If we can hire Urban Meyer we have the best chance to give them what they want on both fronts.

  26. I just noticed it was 2.5 years old. Who goes back 2.5 years to pull a one month paystub? My guess is something unusual happened that year like a bonus of some kind and wants us to think that is the kind of money he normally makes. It’s so pathetic on so many levels. He has now reached legendary status like derka on Surly.

  27. just friday i cleaned up the daily texan michigan governor thread, and threw every single political post (subjectively rated by me to be so) into the politics thread on the topic. honestly, it's maddening. people don't want politics shit on the football board or the daily texan thread, and those most vociferous about it seem to be the biggest fucking perpetrators. i don't see it as that difficult. you want to discuss the politics of our football team? the ou thread ain't it, fucko. take it to the politics board. honestly, a ton of what has infected the board is self-inflicted by the people who least want to traffic the politics board. you fuckers can't help it. calling the players social justice warriors. polluting the daily texan news threads with "religion of peace" comments, and trying to goad your personal enemies into political discourse so you can point and shout "NO POLITICS" fuck, yall are a beating. you can't just take a political topic, put it on DT, and say "no politics" and then spend pages gaslighting your politics with backhanded coded language. i'm to start holding your feet to the fire as much as my time allows. i'm going to feel free to just fucking move posts into cloak room as i see fit. you want to talk politics, go to the fucking politics board. yall call that board a cesspool, but by refusing to talk your politics there, you are fucking ruining everything else.

  28. Pretty good pivot, @MNLonghornFUKM. Most of us haven't forgotten that just a month or so ago you were all-in on the theory that there would be no second spike and that all of the countries that had a first wave are basically done with Covid and had already reached the 20% herd immunity threshold and that we should all take our masks off and start sucking our own dicks. Pretty slick shift from being completely wrong about that back to the old "See Europe sucks too!" talking point.

  34. yes. for the fifteenth time from the fifteenth different person, YES, anyone who can't see how glaringly detrimental Donald Trump has been/will be for this country, its people, and its democracy, is a mother fucking brain dead fool. YES. the man is a proud bigot, racist, misogynist, and narcissist; he works with our enemies to sabotage our democracy; he lies to us about the severity of a global pandemic and gets thousand and thousands of people killed; he's an absolute moron who lies indiscriminately because he is an actual sociopath. he is more skin-thinned than anyone alive (even you), and he spends more time whining and trying to cancel people on twitter than a fifteen year old girl. he is the worst president in the history of the United States by a million miles. His term as president makes William Henry harrison's term look like a massive success. so YES. anyone who hesitates to vote against this guy is a brain dead fucking fool. period.

  35. yeah, but there is a ton of disingenuous votes in that 87%. i agree we should keep politics out of dt. i'm going to focus more on doing so, by moving political posts to the fucking political board. like you, i don't have time to read every post on every thread, but if i go back 10 pages in this thread alone, that we mods have retitled as "featuring lots of politics," there are plenty of political posts, either direct in your face political bullshit, or gaslighting. i simply do not understand the desire to talk about politics outside the politics board. if yall (not you, blacklab, but the rest of the board) really want politics out of dt, i'll fucking do it. i'll force you back into the cloak room. but many of you fled it for some reason, so you can come over here and code-talk, bait your political enemies into talking politics, so you can point your finger and yell "no politics!" it's a fucking beating.

  36. Nobody asked but here’s my story. Pardon mistakes. 39 normal health. 10-22 after lunch at work felt like I was ran over by a train. Came hone to 102 fever and generally felt horrible. Immediately split myself off from family. Made it to the dr the next day and actually felt fine but still felt like I had a cold. Didn’t even have fever. Doc said he honestly thought it was a quick cold but said go ahead and get tested. By the end of that night everything went downhill again. Terrible aches, spiked fever, and loss of appetite. Basically same thing for two more days. Friday afternoon got the positive results. Called doc and he just said treat the symptoms and got all the quarantine requirements and what not. Luckily the house has enough room we isolated myself from the wife and kids immediately. Saturday came and I officially lost taste and smell. Weirdest thing ever. I think I even lost sense of pain. My wife brought me pizza and I just scarfed it down. After about fifteen minutes I had blisters on my mouth and tongue. All the fever and overall shittyness had me down the entire time. Made it to Wednesday(day 8) and I noticed I was coughing and breathing differently with a little uncomfortable feeling in my chest. Didn’t feel heart or anything like that. Definitely with the breathing. Middle of that night it got so bad I drove myself to the ER. They did chest X-ray and found pneumonia. Put me on cough meds and antibiotics. Carry on basically same fever and same feeling. Lungs and chest finally feeling better. Finally got to Saturday(day12) and woke up with no fever and no aches. That carried on and was cleared via guidelines and Doc Monday. Set to return to work Wednesday. Go through Wednesday fine. Thursday started fine. Was in my office and started feeling a slight pain in my lower back on the right side. Kind of thought kidney area so I started banging water a ton. Noticed I couldn’t stretch or really make it better. It slowly got worse. At lunch I went to Eat in the truck and it was still getting worse and noticed it was worst while I would breathe heavy or cough. Finally got to where I couldn’t walk. Best I can describe is while it was hurting I could only get about 1/10th a breath the the pain would cut my breath off. Couldn’t control it. Got a ride back to the hospital. Got in and did another X-ray. Said it’s leftover pneumonia. More antibiotics and pain meds. Went home and didn’t have a chance to drop off the meds yet had to get the kids to activities. Driving I literally felt like I was dying. Same pain (I’m getting PTSD typing about this) and extreme shortness of breathe. Dropped off prescription and felt like Passing out from pain and lack of air. Got home and got FIL to give me s as ride back to hospital. When I walked in they looked at me like I was crazy but I knew something was wrong. Get checked in and nurse brings up possible blood clot. Said it’s possible but didn’t really think so. Get me some norco and calmed me down a bit. Get me in for CT scan (craziest fucking feeling ever). After a bit three nurses all come in at once and start all kinds of shit. Can’t even remember. Turns out I had three clots in my right lung. Immediately started blood thinners and got admitted. Where I was didn’t have a Covid wing I got a nice ambulance Uber downtown. They said I should be fine Covid wise but since it was so close I had to go. The terrible pain and breathing came and went but was the worst I’ve ever felt. At the new hotel everything honestly as good as it could have been. Only one nurse made me want to fight her. Friday came and went. Then Saturday during the Tx Ousux game I could feel gout coming in both hands and feet. Never have I had it in multiple spots at the same time. It went from 0-100 real fast. I can’t explain Gout except there’s absolutely nothing you can really do for the pain. Nothing touched it. Luckily also that morning was my last breathing/pain attack. Everything seemed to be in line there. Sunday doc said I could go home but didn’t want to Because I couldn’t walk yet due to the gout. They ramped up some prednisone for it and it helped fairly decently. Monday came and I was able to come home. The gout was still in my right hand pretty bad but I wanted to go home too so I said let’s do it. Made it to my doc Wednesday and they said basically I was 100% fine as far as the CV19 when I returned to work but my body was just in a super inflammation mode and everything went wrong. I’m recovering and able to walk decent distances without being absolutely tired. Little out of breath but ok. Any questions I’ll answer what I can.
