  1. Quote any such remark. Life’s short. Being a bitch is optional.
  2. That’s because you don’t have the first clue what airmanship is.
  3. The defense looked like ass for most of the game even though it was clear we had some dudes on that side of the ball. We looked like a burgeoning juggernaut offensively.
  4. Yeah, but every team we play save Rice seems to be loaded with slippery dudes when they face our defense.
  5. You can bet your ass they’ll come out trying to force the run and control the clock come hell or high water. This staff is extremely predictable in the responses to losses. Just like I could have told you that Sam would throw a bunch of late cbeckdowns to well covered outlet receivers after throwing a pick against WVU with RoJo standing very lonely in the flat.
  6. No. I’ve seen Tom multiple times with play sheets, extensive notes and talking nonstop on the headset after each play making calls. And not like yesterday standing with arms crossed and occasionally referencing a play sheet. It’s easy to tell the difference. In addition he has continually, until yesterday, referenced himself as the playcaller. He may have surrendered that role to Beck for some reason, but that is a recent event. Tim Beck made it very evident to Tom that Herman needed to be making calls by the Texas Bowl in 2017. Tom as a CEO coach and cursory input into the offense is a sure way to end up at a cougar high level school in a few years. His first and best attribute is that of a play caller.
  7. He wasn't. Tom has had play sheets and notes on him all the time, and is constantly referring to them like the play caller, and not the CEO. Having said that, I don't recall seeing him in that mode on Saturday, and handing the keys back to Beck would both be a mistake and explain our very recent infatuation with the deep pass and reversion to a very basic rushing attack with little to no misdirection.
  8. Tom sure talks as though he’s the playcaller. His handing the keys to anyone else would be dereliction of duty, and frankly he’s shown himself to be a shit CEO coach when he’s delegated the offense to others in the past.
  9. No, he means that Tom’s hubris and hard headedness leads him to do stupid shit as a playcaller.
  10. It works fine, but Herman has to let go of some preconceived notions and dogmas formed in conferences that don’t play super offense all the damn time. He’s lucky that some of the really devious bastards that used to run offenses up and down the field in the Bog XII have exited stage left for one reason or another. Out physicaling the other team is nice, but sometimes the other tean is happy to light up your defense while you try to show how manly your OL is running tight IZ into loaded fronts for little or no gain. And this BS notion of keep away by slowing the pace of play is worthless when these Uber offenses don’t give a shit about time of possession. It’s no coincidence that we started moving the ball a bit when we went up tempo and ditched tortoise mode. And we’ll know he’s learned his lesson when he only takes his foot off the neck of the opponent to switch feet.

  12. Fedora’s been in his ear a lot on the sideline. Chris Ash may be a contingency plan.
  13. At some point, when virtually every QB we’ve faced has managed to score against us on the read keeper, you have to start expecting it.
  14. Off schedule? Yes. On actual designed reads? We suck at it more than most. Just watch all the sloths playing QB who manage to make hay against our defense on QB read game keepers. It happened again just last weekend.
  15. Excellent read, and maybe we’re getting Orlando some help with a mobile QB, something he really struggles with, in addition to maybe adding a pressure or three for Saturday that actually have a prayer of getting home somewhere other than the whiteboard.
  16. Any remembrance of his philosophy or alignments. I also wonder if he and possibly Fedora might be on Herman’s short list in case a coordinator gets hired away. Same with Beaty.
  17. We’ll win going away if we get them down by 17+ again. Hurts is not a good passer, and, while he’s a dynamic runner, he’s not nearly the house call waiting to happen on any down that Kyler was. And his OL is vastly inferior to last year’s addition.
  18. We had a contract with Steve Carell at my last job. His contract name was TWSS. Thats What She Said.
  19. Strikeouts are fascist, but they are viscerally satisfying.
  20. Every team OU has played to this point knew they weren’t very good, are trying to see if they're any good, or are just hoping not to be terrible. Our guys know they are good, and have supreme confidence in their abilities. This isn’t the Mack Brown survive the surge brand football. Texas under Herman is looking to come out and kick your ass, and more so as underdogs and or in big games.
  21. Yup. The offense is dropping 40+ a game. Keeping other teams in the 30-35 point range isn’t fun, but it works for now. We might see marked improvement as we get healthy again on defense. We just need to get through the bye.
  22. That sucks. Someone flew through some kind of power line or cable wire in the canyons around Borger and the spinner looked like a barber shop pole.

  24. Our lack of pressure is generally by design. We’ve decided to keep offenses in front of us between the 20’s and play defense that suffices, but doesn’t necessarily satisfy. Its a defensible strategy given our injury situation, youth and top 20 offense.
  25. Their DT Sills was eating our interior line alive. So naturally we doubled down on running at him. And we basically did absolutely nothing to try and mitigate it except more IZ right into it. Herman was being very stubborn yesterday. We had numbers time and again to one edge of the defense, and time and again we ran away from it. Some of our bigger runs were to that edge when the RB started inside, and then cut back out when the only edge defender within 10 yards flowed inside with the action of the play.
