  1. The only reason these games exist is for the NFL to expand media rights fees and merchandising to another country.

    I’m sure fans are having fun but let’s not lose focus of this being a cash grab and absolutely nothing else.

    The whole thing is terrible.

    Win convincingly and "Texas is Back!" and the KU and OU games are forgotten.

    Your whole ‘woe is us’ thing is tiresome.

    No one will forget about the OU or KU games. Every week for the rest of this season will be one approached with apprehension, especially on D.

    I was just talking about Orlando.

     

    I can definitely see the absurdity of mocking a person for being a "moderately intelligent dickface who coaches a children's game" for a living while being a person who spends their free time posting about said children's game on this message board.

    It was just a joke. You know many coaches/players the volume posters of this site and it’s predecessor have crowned and subsequently burned at the stake? Most posters here are extremely quick to do both, but only understand the scoreboard.

    That's the funniest thing to me. To go from being afraid that this guy was gonna get scooped up to wanting to fire him in the middle of the season. What a fun profession.

    I wouldn’t say crying on the internet about a sport you don’t fully understand is a ‘profession’

  5. I think it’s both ways.

    A lot of y’all underestimate how bad we were coming off Strong’s inheritance and further bungling of Mack’s disaster.

    And we should be better in year three.

  6. I like Orlando and have a major appreciation for his first two years here but even in those years we’ve had a crazy deficient Big12-centric approach and this year has been especially abysmal. At this point it would be really hard to make an argument that would support his continued employment at his price range. If it’s all due to the injuries than shit but even then we can hire a guy who can teach young players to step in and cover, tackle... Christ just play basic defense and stop Kansas 3 out of 6 drives when the game is in a crunch.

  7. Fielding a kick that will either land in the end zone or go out of bounds is pointless. I like Herman but he’s supposed to be a detail guy... largely seems like our special teams as a whole have no awareness of that shit. Bummer.

    I ran out of fucks to give last saturday. 

    I’ll never understand this type of quitters, puss-out mentality. If you’re telling me we win the next 6 and rematch with OU for the Big 12 title game, and you don’t give a shit because you checked out half way through the season, why even bother in the first place. I will be fucking juiced if that scenario works out, I’ll see some of you at the CCG and we’ll lament the absence of some of yalls vaginas.
