  1. I think Herman is still somewhat shell shocked on how bright the lights really are being at a big program. Oh, I know HE thought he knew. But his body language suggests that only now does he feel the actual weight. Even the small things start adding up at a big school, things that would go totally unnoticed at smaller programs. if your honest with yourself you have to at least acknowledge that in some ways he is still getting on the job training. It ain’t like he wants to lose. He is just used to every fucking team coming at you at with a very high level of energy. And by contrast he and his team has to match that intensity every single week. Which obviously is difficult. Satuday was a perfect example. Every single one of the Texas players were fully aware of how OSU struggled this season prior to the game. Only to find out that regardless of their record they came out jacked up, at home, during homecoming and fully ready to play. They didn’t care about the prior weeks, only the task at hand. Texas was not able to match that intensity. By the time they did they were down 17.
  2. Hell, I think Mike’s greatest attribute is he never really took any of this shit as seriously as others seem to. I just don’t see the “pressure” on his face that you see on the Urb’s or Saban’s of the game. Yet he is just as passionate. I used to think it was because he was simply a laid back guy. But these days I think he is the way he is more so because he is aware that the game is rigged to a point. The alleged email referencing the missed targeting call where he supposedly called out the PAC royalty on manipulating the officiating (the third man in the booth) that would have given him a chance to beat SC quickly went away. I believe that was because it contained more then a small element of truth. And Mike knew crossing that line gets him in the crosshairs again. So unlike Phil Fulmer, Mike backed down and didn’t go rouge by going public like Phil did with Albert Means. But, that is what bothers me. That email is the proverbial smoking gun. If the PAC does that shit, one has to assume they all do. And that my friends means the whole thing is bullshit. The gambling side, the championships, everything is WWE.
  3. Laugh if you will. But I heard Reece, Pollock, Herbstreit and Dez use your exact sentence, word for word, as their argument.
  4. I am fully aware that the demographics have changed dramatically in Austin since my time there. But “actually” no, “we” do not fit like a glove. Not even one of those fancy opera to the elbow types.
  5. I missed him puking, but I saw a shit load of look at me. He even went with the damaged wing on one occasion. Unlike the old days it is far easier for someone to relay in to the opposing staff any potential injuries that can be exploited that are picked up on the broadcast. So it doesn’t serve a player to be caught nursing something hurt if they can avoid it as it potentially could be used against them. Most are seen scurrying to the bench (if possible) and quickly surrounded by staff making an evaluation a little more difficult. Ergo when I see a player going Shakespeare with a damaged extremity walking the sidelines almost as if calling out to the cameras I call bullshit. However it does come in handy when said player misses a couple of sure tackles during game tape review.
  6. Watching that smug ass Reece “Did you know I went to Alabama?” Davis like he is Pharaoh handing down judgement on his kingdom was a pretty hard watch. The lengths ESPN is able to go to direct the narrative is also a tough watch. It makes you want to scream at your TV at Pollock, and company “alright smartass, bet your fucking house on a Kentucky vs WVU game”. If you’re so fucking sure. And let’s dont mention that as of today Alabama hasn’t beaten a currently ranked team. Michigan has no offense to speak of. The LSU thing will work itself out. Though get ready for another two SEC teams as they are already laying the ground work. Clemson butt fucking the ACC when Miami, Florida State and TV are tomato cans isn't really any more impressive then what the PAC has. The whole thing is bullshit.
  7. Brain clusters, it’s always those damn brain clusters.
  8. Other then the obvious ignorance of those threads regarding race. You would think that one of those cock grabbers would at least take the time to look at Georgia’s population explosion since the 70’s. There are more people in metro Atlanta then in the entire state of Mississippi. Last time I looked the state of Georgia only lagged behind the more obvious states like California, New York, Texas, Florida and Ohio in terms of population. Not to mention that there is a shit ton of high quality football talent in the state of Georgia. Made up of all types of ethnicity, playing at schools across the lower 48. you just can’t fix stupid.
  9. Jerry Jones is just one of many strange millionaires that own a professional franchise. And subsequently surrounded themselves with yes men and lackey’s to the point of clouding the very qualities that made them their millions. Being part of a national championship team at the collegiate level in 1964 doesn’t nearly check enough boxes to be chiming in on...well anything, in the modern game of professional football. He has at the same time managed to make his franchise one of the most valuable of all franchises. Yet at the same time they have been swimming in quicksand since he fired the best hire he ever made. And the one guy who knew what the fuck he was doing. That is one hard headed mother fucker.
  10. I saw this and blew snot out my nose. Fucking solid right there...
  11. I knew about Acho, but I was unaware that there appears to be some ankle biting going on between current players. Which isnt necessarily a bad thing, I just wasn’t aware of it.
  12. Geez, what does the brain trust do with Beatty now? Fire him and start over AGAIN. Or say fuck it and give him another year?
  13. Texas will kill Grier and company. Just my take of course.

    I told you

    Well, even a broken clock is right twice a day.
  15. Wow, some of you are buying the Willis Reed I’m hurt watch me explode for 49 routine? I don’t buy having a legitimate shoulder issue as a defensive guy unless there is a lot of chemistry involved. And even then few can take that level of pain. Hager doesn’t strike me as that type of individual.
  16. Nope, I will be surprised as shit if they pull that off.
  17. No, just has the largest payroll.
  18. Well phlegm you have improved the thread. I’ll give you that.
  19. I don’t think he believed it when he said it. He is just like the rest of those smug bastards, especially Reese. Towing the company line.
  20. You know the old saying, it takes one to know one. There is a reason I notice things like that. It pretty much killed my own career. One of my only regrets in life is not having the good fortune of having someone pull me to the side when I was still a young man and tell me to correct that part of my character.. Who knows, I may have even been able to accomplish my own goals.
  21. That narrative is continuing to change even as I type this. Dropping Mike Stoops ass and giving the job to Ruffin has most critics believing that he has already corrected some core issues regarding their defense. And have also conceded that ou can probably score on anyone. And unlike Mike Stoops Ruffin has actually earned his way into the job. That short video of Ruffin’s ass dancing around after their game (something I normally can’t fucking stand watching coaches do) served an entirely different purpose. It shows that the players support him. Something I am going to imagine was damn near impossible for them to do under dumb ass Stoops.
  22. I really don’t buy into losing by 3 shows improvement over losing by 10, but that is just me. What I do count is wins and losses. Consider that he and Riley started at the same time and Herman has almost 3 times as many losses during the same period. All while being paid twice as much. Were there obvious and extenuating circumstances to this disparity? Of course, the biggest being at the most important position on the field. Riley was gifted one Heisman winner, and very well could go two for two with guys he never actually recruited. But at the end of the day a coach is tied to his record. No one will ever offer up excuses why coach X lost X amount of games. Only that they happened under his watch. It is why they have the earning potential that they all enjoy. And why I’m sure CDC thought of all this while watching ou go to the playoffs last year. And is still in the conversation this year even after Texas beat them.
  23. I have no idea if you are correct or not. But based on my observations he sure as hell is one emotional type of guy. No way he plays poker. If he does he sucks at it. From the made for TV looks/expressions he consistently provides television it isn’t very hard to see what is on his mind at any particular moment. The end of the K-State game was classic with the big exhale of relief telling all the world that he was fully aware he just dodged a bullet. I believe that same emotion serves him well when things go right. But they betray him if they don’t. His reaction was 100% that of a very immature adult who was already worrying/fearing what the fuck he was going to be required or have to say during post game interviews. I believe that when he loses it physically hurts him. Not only does he wear it on his sleeve, he is unable to deal with it without using more emotion. He really needs someone close to him to help him get over that before he loses it in a much worse way.
  24. Actually his biggest mistake was suggesting that a current player is using drugs. Either be the professional you claim you are and address it by speaking with the coaches that you know about it. And before you report it you are giving them a chance to address it. This allows the coaching staff some wiggle room. And allows Acho further access to Texas football. As a reporter you don’t personally engage a player and become part of the fucking story. By suggesting that a current player is using with innuendo without first talking to the Texas head coach before plastering it on social media is not even close to being professional. It’s being a hot take no journalism hack.
  25. I’m not sure what he meant so far as 4 star guys. But there is plenty of talent to match up with any team on the current schedule. IF they play as a unit. Except of course his persistent desire on playing Hagar on more plays then he should. I’ll never believe that is the best option. Other then that Orlando’s problem is no different then any other DC who coaches in this league. For every K-State game he manages, he gives us last nights performance as well. Requiring the offense to bail them out. It is more about how fucking inconsistent the defense can be at times. And that sits on Todd’s very well paid shoulders.
