  1. So, the pitching is not good, fielding is not good, and our hitting is not good. Down 4-0. Thanks Covid, 2020-1, Winter Vortex, etc... Get your shit together Horns.
  2. On a side note, I just hope this staff develops the kids and puts them in the best position to succeed. We’ve seen well coached teams come in and whip our talent’s ass fundamentally and athletically. Time to get back to workman football and put teams on their heels. 🤘🏼
  3. True, which is why I went with “no offense”, and with my low peen ass he’ll survive. 😁
  4. Welcome, but negging in case of being the dipshit, Carl. No offense... unless you’re Carl.
  5. As a fan of Texas and Northwestern, 2 out of 3 ain’t bad.
  6. Hopefully he has matured and is ready to step into the role he played himself into. Take the Brass ring, homie.
  7. I like the hate. It makes it that much sweeter when we're winning and making them vomit in the back of their throat. Hate us, more than they like themselves. Awesome.
  8. Carnies. Circus folk. Nomads, you know...
  9. This can also be applied to anyone running a company/business/ team/etc... Often times the leaders that failed, can look back and see they couldn’t/didn’t delegate or spent too much time trying to be a part of every aspect of the team’s job. Pride and Ego will fuck you over 9/10. It’s ultimately why I believe Mack went south, beside apparent complacency. What many failed leaders tend to do is get butt hurt when their direct reports get the credit for something good, not realizing that them looking good reflects well on their performance. here’s to Sark getting our ship righted and back in the conversation. 🤘🏼
  10. No, Tom’s issue was that he relied too heavily on coaches he knew and was comfortable with and those coaches are not high performers in their professions. At least not at large scale Universities. Texas is a different animal and our hope was that Tom understood that when he was hired. I’m not sure he had all the support that Sark seems to have but he had a choice to hire outside of his comfort zone and didn’t, for one reason or another. By all accounts, Sark is hiring guys he’s familiar with or aware of that are also high performers. Not all but the core are. I also believe that he had plans for certain coaches that fell through or changed and he adjusted accordingly. He didn’t bring in some random coach that he’s always had in staff but rather he got one of the best available in Coach K, that many thought was a lifer at UW. You can hire people you know and still be hiring high performers. If Tom’s staff performed at a high level he’d still be here and wouldn’t have had to fire most his coaches after year 3. Firing 1–2 would tell me they just didn’t click. Firing multiple people on both sides tells me Tom didn’t do his job and was in over his head. Time will tell with Sark but his staff at this point seems to be built well.
  11. Re: Joseph or any other position coach... If you’ve ever been in a position of hiring a team of people (3 or more), then you realize that you hire the best people that you can work well with. Not just the best resume with the highest achievements. If someone is a high performer but is an asshat to work with you have to weigh the importance of that position on your team. Sark seems to have a great core, with coaches that develop talent and, that I’ll bet, can make those around them better. Not all “great on paper” hires work out, even for the most thorough. Time will tell, but I finally feel comfortable with the head coach and his talent evaluations.

    2021 Drunk Thread

    I swear, sometimes I just don't know what to do. Shut the fuck up or say what's on my mind. Seems like no matter what I do, it's the wrong fucking answer. Also, drunk and debating whether or not to go upstairs and sleep in the same bed. The only thing I know is correct, is whichever I choose, it will be the wrong choice. SMmfH
  13. Is Craig drunk? Can’t stop calling everything Carroll. Get your shit together, Way!
  14. That receiver for the Chaps is good.
  15. Finally a good game, at least on offense.
  16. I negged it because it was fucking horrific to look at and should have been spoilered. It's not a shark-like picture. He looks like one of those got-damn golems! Nightmare fuel. The only thing worse would have been if that thing ate the snek at the end of the puppy video.
  17. I'm going to have to step away. This is getting ridiculous.
  18. That's how you know this is good for Texas. Fuck'em.
  19. I think the powers that be decided to quit fucking around and see the writing on the wall. We have the resources and it was time to lay the cash on the table for a spot in the game. College football has changed and we finally decided to change with it. We are stepping up big time and about to slap our dick across the face of this conference, the in-state schools, and all the assholes that shoved our failures of the past decade down our throats. Texas is coming, and Hell’s coming with it. 🤘🏼
  20. A very keen eye for someone so... experienced as yourself. 😉 But the idea of the stand in is not to be a mirror image of the person they are standing in for either. Chevy Chase's stand in is also in the shot but wearing different clothes than Chase is in that scene. That movie and how it got made is a pretty interesting story. I know an acquaintance that was in it. Now back to our new coach and staff!! 🤘
  21. At the end of the day, Sark is going to try and get the best guys available that fit his vision for the team. So, patience is a virtue in closing. Another thing to remember is that Texas is a huge unknown for coaches and some may not want the headache despite the money whip. Texas has a ton of potential and not everyone is cutout to handle it. It’s great when it’s good, and terrible when it’s bad. Money is not everything, and the top coaches have to believe in the guy more than just taking the cash. If Sark doesn’t land a guy, it’s not necessarily his fault. Here’s to Sark putting together teams that make those coaches, that don’t come, regret that decision. 🤘🏼
  22. What I always love about this gif, is that his stunt double/stand in is in the shot directly behind him.
