Well unless you count the great Missouri Rain Delay rush of 1996 I'm gonna guess 1990 "somebody get that idiot off the goalposts" rush post Houston victory.
This is correct. IMO, best DKR crowd experience ever.

Yes, but are they Road Graders?
The real million dollar question has to be "Are they SEC ready" .. thanks chin pubs for the vocab.

I think the culture shift needs to happen above the coaching level and within the AD. Too many dinosaurs collecting pay checks
This.. This is the umbrella under which all athletics marches towards. The overall vision of athletics at UT must be to field dominate teams in their sport, defined by a commitment to..... ? what ever buzz words they want.

I'm not being antagonizing when I ask "how do you think culture works?"
I actually think it is a recruiting board worthy thread discussion unto itself and I am betting there will be a lot of opinions.
To answer part of my own question, I can say that positive culture changes (changes that lead to statistically better outcomes in the measurables) in organizations that are sustainable only happen at the top. Doesn't have to only be the CEO/HC/President/Religious Figurehead of an org, but it has to be him/her and their immediate reports. An immediate report can be the key driver if the main person can handle them.
Conversely, negative culture changes (changes that can be traced to preceding statistically worse outcomes in the measurables) in organizations can happen at any level, at any time. They're almost always sustainable until regime change.
There are almost zero case studies or white papers tracking proof of the Hollywood narrative of positive and sustained grass roots level or middle manager level changes within an org. There are plenty of instances in which there can be positive changes in an org driven at any level, but they will not last if not adopted genuinely and then institutionalized throughout the org from the top down.
At Texas or any other CFB program, given the transient nature of players in CFB, no sustainable culture change will ever be created by a player or players. So you need a transformative HC, DC or OC and they need a long term vision for the org that they can execute on and get enough wins quickly to gain buy-in and that could be sustained for a decade+. That doesn't mean a few badasses can't drive a program to a few successful seasons in spite of weakness at the top, but those performances will be ephemeral in nature.
So.. since we have failed so miserably .. on average.. in our HC evals related to culture, although I liked Strong's culture more than Herman's.. Can the AD drive this? Can CDC drive down culture, specifically in football.
Meant to add, I agree with what you said 100% from a change org perspective

why did we fire Herman again?
I can’t believe I’m saying this but why did we ever fire Mack again? No way FUPM let’s his teams look like this? Unless I just don’t remember.

well, I guess if we lose 7 straight games it would allow us to fire sark and owe 90 million in buyouts
So... we got that going for us... which is nice.

So if both of our quarterbacks are AIDS level awful and we have K Robinson for second string running back, is there any good reason we haven't given Roschon another shot at QB?
Can we just run the Wing T w/ Roschon, Bijan and K Robinson?

Schooler may be the worst player that has ever stepped on the field for Texas. I'm not exaggerating.
I spent the last 5 min thinking about this.. Like surely there are worse players who have started for Texas.. can't think of one. Well done..
Scratch that - I will go w/ Scott Derry.. maybe Bret Robin.

Of course.

For your entertainment, I copied from a previous Holiday board -
ORIGINALLY POSTED by WIDE-E-WIDE Dec 2006
Its been 12 years, but damn its still funny.
After much deliberation, I will reluctantly tell the story of my family touring the Christmas lights in Waco last week.
My wife told me about this thing at the beginning of December. To be honest I had forgotten all about it until the night before. I did not want to go. Call me a scrooge but riding around looking at electricity captured in colored bulbs is not my idea of entertainment. However, the kids were looking forward to it and apparently at some point I had agreed to do it.
This little tour got us for 6 bucks a head. My wife, her parents, our 4 kids and I all went. Now I wasn’t a math major but that's $48 to ride around in a trolley and look at lights. WTF? (I found this out the day of)
So we drive all the way the hell to downtown Waco and sit and wait for this trolley to take us on the tour. They’ve got a tree, Santa, hot cocoa- All that shit. Finally all the trolleys roll up and Shaquandra our official Christmas lights tour guide hops out and says “Y’all going to look at the lights?....(pause) Okay den let’s get our roll on!”
My initial gripe is that the bitch is driving at mach speed and you can’t see shit but a blurry-ass Santa and the occasional Wal-Mart $9.99 wire light-up reindeer. My father-in-law asks if she could slow down a bit so that we could take pictures and appreciate the lights a little more..(his words not mine). By this time I’ve already leaned over and whispered in my wife’s ear “$48 for this shit?” She gives me the obligatory elbow and “stop being like that”
We roll along for about 15 minutes looking at every tacky piece of shit overkill light extravaganza in East Waco. Suddenly we get on the highway and start heading to the other side of town. We ride for a good 12-15 minutes without seeing a single damn house decorated. So I lean over to the wife again and say “umm where the hell are we going?”
Elbow “shut up” and all that again. Shaquandra has Mariah Carey’s Christmas cd blasting and we just getting our roll on...and then it happened.
Signs and streets started to look really familiar. My oldest daughter says “hey there’s HEB.” As in the HEB right down the road from our house (approx. 1/2 mile)
I lean over to the wife again “This bitch better not turn right at this light!”
What does the driver do????? That’s right folks, fucking turns right and heads right to our neighborhood. Not only our neighborhood “BUT OUR FUCKING STREET!!I am just at a loss for words by this point. I cannot believe this is happening. Street after street, house after house for a good 30 minutes. The driver is going on and on about “oooh like over thurr- look at the Santa up on the roof kids.” I know bitch “I'M THE ONE THAT FUCKING PUT HIS FAT ASS UP THERE LAST WEEK"
I can’t type this anymore it's just too painful. The point is, we spent almost $50 to look at the Christmas lights in our own damn neighborhood. My wife just hung her head in shame. I’ll be in charge of Christmas spirit next year thank you very much.- 12

I wanted to see them handle how the guild folds space. The original was really bad…. Maybe the next one. I really enjoyed it.

She will never leave. Why would she? Next to no expectations for performance for her to live up to, decent money, trappings of power etc etc etc
CDC doesn't have the guts to fire her and she knows it. She will be at Texas until she dies.
You forgot to add all the pussy that crusty old dyke can lick. She can’t get out soon enough.

She was still that way, remembering the particulars of my kids’ pho orders. She had a very loyal Northwest Hills community that loved her.
I remember kidding her about the no public restroom sign on her door. She went on a 10 min tirade about the soccer families over at Murchison on weekends and them using her bathroom. I ate there once a week for years. Same thing. Just talked in, grabbed a table and she brought I wanted. I miss her.- 2

I don't know how far back to look. Anyone see the post game PC? Did Sark show any emotion or just another day at the office and back to work Monday?
I saw it. He looked beaten. -
Who gives a fuck?
Honestly--after a decade of this, does anybody really care?
A decade? You're being kind. With the exception of a few years under Brown it's been 40 plus years. Maybe less. For sure started in 1983 at cotton Bowl vs Georgia.- 2

he's an offensive coordinator trying to run a football team
Well. We did try a defensive coordinator to run the team. It's only fair to give the other side of the ball a shot. Right? Sigh. -
Watching LHN. Sark has the million mile stare. I've seen same on Herman and Strong. In his defense he did say he's 100% to.blame.as opposed to the turtle.
