  1. Hell, I think TCU has a very good chance. As long as they don’t turn the ball over, or commit drive killing penalties. Or give up cheap scores. I would even go so far as to say there is probably far more anxiety in the OSU locker room, then in TCU’s. The pressure is completely on OSU. it would be mega awesome if it turns out to be a close game and Urb gets caught interacting with the team in some way.
  2. I guess I have just gotten old. Watching them play ball at a higher level then us doesn’t make me hate them as much as it bothers me that they shouldn’t have our number. There is a reason we have that “We’re Texas” thing. I also can’t help but wonder if having CDC here could have an impact on the game in some intangible way?

    ISU vs. OU

    I’m going to guess Iowa State has ou’s attention this time around. So I believe ou wins, but with Anderson out it will be really close. And I say that for the simple fact that in the college game. Quick mobile QB’s that have decent arms, decent receivers, and even a slight threat at RB are hard to beat. Regardless of the name on their helmets.
  4. Show em the end result and they will regret laughing. I’m of the opinion that the extra effort of the bow tie’s was well worth it, and it compliments the piece exceptionally well.
  5. I guess my question would be why? To find this type of fame?
  6. Well yeah that, and stress. The billy bad ass act that many so glowing defined as cool back on the old site. Was a WTF to all of us who have had to actually speak to the media on the record. Sure, it’s awesome when great results follow your bravado. But it’s a mother fucker when they don’t. Pretty basic toastmasters stuff.
  7. We would have been favored anyway. This is a matchup of two very flawed teams. Yep, that brain trust running SC isn’t anything special. And both teams have enough talent that someone on either team could step up and make a play or two to win the damn thing. Regardless of the situations that bad coaching put them in.
  8. Ironically this will be an interesting matchup of similar styles......but not in a good way. Two different coaching staff’s who have talent at their disposal, but apparently don’t have a clue on how to deploy it. SC has speed, they showed that against Stanford. Nothing more entertaining then watching wideouts run route after route and never see the ball. After the third or fourth play they started pulling up. And what that dumb ass Shaw was rambling about post game is anyone’s guess. Congratulations, you beat another shitty SC team.
  9. The biggest change in aggy from Sumlin and Jimbo is they didn’t quit and fold when it looked as if the game was about to get out of hand. What really helped aggy was Dabo having to live up to his promise of giving the rookie meaningful playing time. Had they stayed with their starter aggy never gets back in the game. And why with the game in the line he stopped that dumb ass shit. Strangely it looked very much the same as Saban’s experiment/game against Louisville using two QB’s. Except Bama never fell asleep on defense while their coach was trying some shit out.
  10. I’m sorry, I watched the entire SC Stanford game. And for all the hype Love is getting, he enjoyed running against a SC defense that was out of position the majority of the time. And when they were lined up correctly, they couldn’t tackle for shit. SC does posses some good receivers, but it’s a toss up whether the SC quarterback can get a throw anywhere near them where they can take advantage of running in stride/space. There were multiple examples where the SC receivers had to basically take themselves out of the play just to make the catch. This is not a good SC team. For the record, I don’t think Stanford is very good right now either as they struggled themselves. They do have their traditional big strong linemen they are known for. But they look slow and immobile.
  11. I believe you have some connections down in these parts, so you know IPTAY? That shit won’t go at Texas. We have never had a Charlie Pell, Danny Ford or a Dabo for a reason.

    UCLA @ OU

    I don’t know shit about GT, but I didnt think he could pull that off? Good for him.

    UCLA @ OU

    Meh, games aren’t transitive. And Texas ou is always a tough contest.

    UCLA @ OU

    He throws a much better ball then I thought he could.

    UCLA @ OU

    Well, we now know why Riley wasted points on the last possession of the first half. ou can pretty much name the score. So I’m guessing he had a conversation with Chip showing respect to the elder statesmen prior to the game, and isn’t showing the entire package. And not going for the throat.
  16. Damn, if I didn’t know better some of you can’t be a day over 16. If you got your man crush up on some bullshit he served up in a interview, pod cast, web post, or any other bullshit. Congratulations, you now know how he landed such a prestigious job as the AD at the university of Texas. The jury will be out, and he (CDC) will not act on the head football coaches future until which time there is either a scandal (god forbid) or upon the completion of, at the minimum the third full year of the contract. Even then, no matter the record. Which unlike some I still believe will be much better then some of our in house prognosticators keep serving up in the other threads. Unless there is a specific coach he has in mind sitting out there that he absolutely must act on or lose, Herman will be easily given years three and probably four. So as disastrous as the Maryland game was for us. No organization in its right mind takes any action until the final numbers are in. And laugh if you want, but the Big12 ain’t that great. Winning this conference is not the same as others in that you get a second crack at a team that may have beat you earlier. And until we see for ourselves what ou, TCU, WV, actually have when they play us. And not someone else, because the transitive property isn’t applicable. We simply won’t know how just how bad/good we really are. And as long as a conference championship hangs in the balance and is in the conversation. Herman will be fine.
  17. The highest rate of success that I see is grabbing a coordinator that has shown innovation, organization, and a certain level of confidence that allows them to step up to the big job. In fairness even then it’s a roll of the dice. Kirby at Georgia comes to mind, as I really thought he would struggle. Replacing Richt when he was winning a lot more then he was losing appeared risky. But after last year I have to say they pulled a good one out of their hat. The fact he is a former Bulldog just makes it better. Pruitt at Tennessee on the other hand may be the exact opposite. Going back farther, Leach was a good upgrade at Tech from bag-o-dicks staff. If not for the political bullshit most believe he would have kept Tech in the picture. Of course it isn’t just the guy you select either. You have to have some luck that the guy can land and coach up the players he needs. And can pick a staff that buys into a new boss without any ego. I will always believe some staffs are handcuffed by coordinators who feel it should be them, and not the guy they are working for who should have got the job. They keep their feelings quite and play along, but there seems to always be a problem with team progress.
  18. Chizk is a better example. Talk about being fucking gifted a title. And the fact they plucked his .500 ass out of the cornfields of the Midwest. Hell, a half a dozen guys on this site could have parlayed that team to a championship.
  19. It’s like a 12 step program. Maryland has some of us rationalizing the abuse of our past, to find comfort in the fact that........we’ll, we didn’t lose to teams like Maryland two years in a row.
  20. Not at all. They merely needed a story (and any story would do) to change the narrative. Even the game broadcast they did their duty by mentioning the situation less then a minute in. And never mentioned it again, at least that I am aware of. But in all honesty, isn’t this what we all thought would happen? unless new shit comes to light......just smoke a doobie..
  21. This game is exactly where it should be on our schedule. Unfortunately it tells you that when the schedule was put together, there was already concern in the room about which team would follow the Maryland game. You can also count on a much better rhythm from both the offense and defense. I expect production from the RB, along with some nice catches sprinkled around. What we can’t count on is more of the same strange substitutions, play calls and inconsistent QB play. And that bothers me.
  22. The thing about Leach is that if you gave just two weeks with the current Texas roster. We would see 3 possibly 4 receivers that none of us knew we had, or are playing at a much different level they we knew they could achieve. We would see a O-line rotation that none of us were even aware that we had. And a running attack that produces a plus net average that would be higher then last years team could muster. And most importantly we would see a QB (whoever the fuck he went with, because for Leach it don’t matter) that all of a sudden has confidence and an identity. But.....we would not get the guy who can live within the executive types. He doesn’t like em, he has no time for their shit. And doesn’t care how they made their millions. He also doesn’t have time to press the flesh, kiss their ass or stand in awe of some guy who is living off of his daddy’s nickel. Texas will never again hire a coach that can’t work the room. They have tried it, it didn’t work, and they will never go down that road again.
  23. The love many have for the PAC on this site amazes me. Are all of you guys just passing through a Texas site, simply because it is the best of all the boards? Or are you actual Texas born and bred, but lean to the left coast due to business or experiences? Much in the same way I ended up in Georgia after I got out In 76. Dont get me wrong I spend a lot of time out West. Mostly because the Rockies, and I’m an F-Class shooter that requires long ranges to compete at. These little hills back east are simply nothing compared to Colorado’s 14’ers. And 1000 yard ranges are nonexistent out here. But football, well football is a different animal all together.. again just curious where this comes from.
  24. It’s part of my fucking trademark move. 90’s Killer Loop’s (only the titanium frames though), the closet to burnt orange Maui Waui shirt (thousands of little fat guys smoking doobies), cargo’s and grey Nike Kix. I’m fucking 60, fuck off if it bothers you.
