  1. Yes. You have a rep from both sides decide intent as monitors. If they can’t agree, it becomes a challenged ballot. If intent is not clear, the office is voided and everything else is counted. Same thing with an over vote. If someone votes for a Biden and Trump, that office will be voided because of an over vote but the rest of the ballot will be counted if there are no further instances. If you select a Slate, no other votes will count as Slate prevails.
  2. Of course they are. If a candidate is polling high, it discourages people from voting because they think their vote is meaningless.
  3. Nah. Been told for months that Biden has this in the bag and would win in a landslide. Just a slow start I suppose.
  4. If Herman wins the conference, he’s not getting canned. We don’t control our own destiny yet, but we’re close. There’s still a chance to polish this turd of a season if we win out. There is zero chance that he would be fired mid season, which is now.
  5. He’s in the 2022 recruiting class. Herman is likely gone after this season. He could be gone after the 2021 season and Ewers still wouldn’t be on campus to play under Herman. That makes zero sense. He could have stayed committed and waited to see how things played out if that was the issue. At least until the end of this season.
  6. We could just as easily be 1-4 as we could 5-0 this year. That’s Herman in a nutshell. We pay him to win those games, or better yet, win and leave no doubt. His saving grace is the he doesn’t get blown out like Mack did. Doesn’t make me feel any better about losses. Especially when they come against teams we are supposed to play our 3rd stringers in the 4th.
  7. If you got fired from a company you revitalized the brand for, wouldn’t you be pissed? Mack, for all his faults did take us to 2 title games and there should have been a 3rd. And we showed him the door because he was putting up the same results as Herman. I’d be bitter too.
  8. If we’re paying Tom for the season anyway, there’s no way CDC will let Herman go mid-season of a shortened COVID season.
  9. And? Throwing another TD on the board would do what for you? We were clearly going to win and we don’t need style points because we’re not sniffing any sort of playoff. The only people that care are the gamblers. WGAS what ou would do?
  10. Did you enjoy the selection of BBC? The erection selection?
  11. She owes money all over town, including to known pornographers.
  12. The amount of chicken Chipotle considers a serving.
  13. Understood. I’m saying the optics of buying out a coach for losing 4 games and winning a lower tier bowl instead of using funds to pay administrative staff to save $13.1 million. https://www.kxan.com/sports-general/horns-report/ut-athletics-department-enacts-layoffs-furloughs-due-to-financial-strain-of-covid-19-pandemic/
  14. Mack won shit a few times. Backing into the Sugar Bowl because your rival made the CFP isn’t quite the same level of achievement. I do agree with you though. It would take a failure of epic proportions to have Herman fired this year. The only ripple in that is if Urban makes it clear that he wants the job, would take the job if Herman was let go and has a limited timetable for the offer before he explores other options. We recently laid off a shitload of UT employees. The optics of buying out a coach for making the Texas Bowl in a COVID year would be pretty bad. Not to mention, we are losing some funding for the stadium construction. This isn’t a Charlie situation where we end up with losing records. I half forgot that we barely beat KU last year.
  15. Why? It’s opinion piece that draws its own conclusions under the guise that Sam feels abandoned and isolated. It states that the locker room is divided and uses the EOT photo as evidence. Sam didn’t say anything remotely close to what is claimed, which is why very few quotes are cited. It’s also inaccurate. There were a couple of other players that stayed on the field after the game that aren’t shown in the now infamous photo.
  16. I do realize that. Perhaps you will realize that there is a difference between having a dialogue on how to change a culture and taking dictation like a hostage negotiator. This issue was supposedly put to bed after meetings with the administration. The players are entitled to their opinion. I am entitled to mine. If the goal is to have unity, the “submit or else” tactic isn’t effective. Many positive compromises were made to address legit concerns. You can take up for black people/players and call detractors racist all you want. Up until a few months ago, supporting the EoT wasn’t even a controversial issue. Go ring your “shame” bell somewhere else.
