  1. I look forward to Texas's next coaching search when dozens of whiners on this board or whatever iteration takes its place cry about how our coaching searches are so embarrassing and completely forget how the vast majority of coaching searches at other big time programs look the exact same.
  2. Was able to copy the text by stopping the page load before the website caught up. Sorry for formatting.
  3. I mean he's a great coach who doesn't seem to like recruiting all that much. Seems like a smart move for him even if it's bad for the Huskies.
  4. So you're saying to get better he will need to improve. Interesting analysis.
  5. I know right, Texas did that totally backwards, you're supposed to overpay for a coach's history and then after he doesn't produce he gets fucking paid. Again. /A&M
  6. You're worried even though the books are still saying they're more likely to hire James fucking Franklin? I'll worry once Sarkisian is second behind Lanning.
  7. With respect to the argument that it was all Tom Brady, here are playoff scores from their titles together. 16-13, 24-17, 20-17 over perhaps the best offense ever at the time 17-14, 24-14, 32-29, two titles and Brady's offense scored 25 points exactly once in 6 playoff wins so far and averaged 22.2 ppg (average NFL offense) 20-3, 41-27, 24-21 --------- (this is the transition) 35-31, 45-7, 28-24 their 4th title was the first one where the offense produced well in the playoffs 34-16, 36-17, 34-28 41-28, 37-31, 13-3(!!!) 4 out of their 6 titles together don't happen if their defense wasn't excellent when it mattered. They were both awesome and neither would have won nearly as much without the other. And the above doesn't even include Brady leading one of the greatest offenses ever to the below playoff scores 31-20, 21-12, 14-17 Averaged 36.8 ppg in the season then 22 in the playoffs.
  8. Wow, hadn't seen that. Maybe my Pedro point is the exception that proves the rule.
  9. Sarkisian, Smart, any smart ones concerned with their legacy. Following Saban in Tuscaloosa right as NIL and the portal hit is a career killing waiting to happen.
  10. Patiently waiting for @satyanash to explain how Saban's retirement is bad for Texas.
  11. Now wait a damn second. I've seen Pedro demonstrate pitch grips on MLB Network in a suit so your policy has a flaw.
  12. Hey look everyone, slorch is being stupid again. Accusations with absolutely zero examples ever. slorch, Texas Tech is the biggest piece of shit institution ever even worse than Baylor and Penn State. But you think they're as pure as the driven snow, yes sir. Angelic Texas Tech. But don't bother asking for examples, I'll just post another stupid copout like "you just don't want to see it" or similar faux intellectual garbage. Please, I'm on pins and needles waiting for your response where you claim I'm upset while making this post even though everyone realizes I'm just mocking your tired BS.
  13. Agreed that we will not be significant underdogs at Michigan. Depending on their next few weeks personnel wise we may be favored.
  14. This last week is exactly why I mentioned when they fired Fisher that I used to worry when Longhorn fans would point out the cultural issues that cause them to repeat the same mistakes over and over but that I don't worry anymore. They will absolutely never listen to Longhorns and even moreso would never implement changes we suggest. They'd rather lose their way than win ours. So they will. For at least another 84 years. They're doing it again. Reflexively declaring their new coach a genius and their new players amazing when reality says their coach is doing the bare minimum to field a team and their new players are on average replacement level for a team that even thinks about winning big.
  15. Tony Jones went over the middle and held onto a ball while Steve Atwater lined him up for a kill shot. He held onto it and we won and he was fine. The rules are tougher on defenders trying to make big hits now, too. Worry about his blocking, not his safety.
  16. I feel attacked, which is irksome. But you also attacked my dad so I'll call it even.
  17. Yes, Elko has to do it but the real pointing and laughing started once Blooch and his wannabe minions started trying to hype the additions.
  18. As long as we all remember that when we start getting into our old man feelings, we're usually wrong. (yes I know you were kidding)
  19. Sir, my explanation proves that he still might have called one.
  20. I mean you do have some idea. He's done well so far but at heart he is still an Aggie meathead.
  21. Now do how good they are on the actual field. Using recruiting ratings to rebut the premise that a recruiting guy overrates something is an interesting move. Massey ratings because they're easy to parse: SEC has 6 of 14 teams in Top 25, Big 12 has 6 of 14. SEC has 12 of 14 in the Top 50, Big 12 has 10. So this big difference is that Mississippi State was slightly better than BYU. If they flipped it would be 11 each in the top 50. So yeah, the handwringing is a bit overboard.
