  1. Well, at least the team can potentially build on this. Washington and Baylor appear to be even worse than us. Texas needs to go 8-2 over this 10 game home stand. Come out on the other side of this 19-8 (4-2) with some confidence…

    This has really hardened me against a lot of people. I spend a lot of time angry and a lot of time sad, really sad in a way I can’t accurately explain.  I don’t engage on this topic for the most part in ordinary life because I realize I’ll come off as agitated at best and turn people off. It’s crazy making. 

    i think (hope?) there are more of us than you think. It bummed me out when first Texas Honda in north Austin took down their Ukrainian flag. I used to love seeing it as I took the mopac to 183 flyover heading south.

    Same. A conservative non maga friend of mine just kept pressuring me for my opinion on things. I would try, but when he would parrot the idiotic talking points I would just lose my shit.

     

    Conservative non MAGA that’s anti Ukraine? Dude is MAGA in denial.

    Me too. I have a feeling it's not the "real" Russians doing the dying. 

    Maybe they’ll meat wave all the fighting age men in eastern Russia and China will send in their own “green men” into Siberia where the people will likely be receptive to different occupiers

     Good for howard but come the fuck on, Hurley 

     

  6. Parkland and uvalde insufficient. Instructions unclear. Need more examples to know FOR SURE that the only correct strategy is to relentlessly push. 

    I physically can’t understand how a police officer can enter this sort of situation and think anything other than “I’m about to be a hero” and move forward with urgency and confidence, Nashville style.

    I don't think the population went up 94% between 2018 and 2021.

    I will say it's a fairly cherry-picked set of data.

    Agreed, but if the data is truly compelling, you normalize for population. regardless brisket brings up a good point, covid definitely fucked us up

    And we've had 6 other years where we finished runner up....make the finals, win if possible. But yes national championships is the standard....always should be and any expectation below that is complacency. 

     

    You just said Augie should’ve been able to coach here until the day he died and then said anything less than national championship expectations is complacency. How are you not calling for Augie’s head after 2013?

    It makes little sense to look at Augie's decline years for comparison purposes.  You don't get to endure a decline that long if you haven't kicked ass to earn the right.

    Counterpoint: Augie’s 1st 6 seasons: 2 CWS (1 championship), 2 missed tournaments..

    regardless of the cause or duration of decline, going back to 2006 might even be generous. The players we’re recruiting weren’t alive when won our last national title.

    this is a romanticized recollection of Augie. Starting the year after his last championship…

    2006: 41-21, B12 champs, lost in Austin Regional

    2007: 46-17, B12 champs, lost in Austin Regional (at Dell)

    2008: 38-22, 5th in B12, lost in Rice Regional 

    2009: 50-16-1, B12 champs, CWS, National Runner up (LSU)

    2010: 50-13, B12 champs, lost in Austin Supers (TCU)

    2011: 49-19, B12 champs, CWS (0-2)

    2012: 30-22, 3rd in B12, failed to make NCAA Tourney

    2013: 27-24, LAST in B12, failed to make NCAA Tourney

    2014: 46-21, 5th in B12, CWS, finished ~3rd

    2015: 30-27, 5th in B12, lost in Dallas Baptist regional

    2016: 25-32, 7th in B12, failed to make NCAA Tourney

    So in Augie’s final 11 seasons, we missed the tournament 3 times and reached the CWS 3 times. 

    David Pierce’s 7 seasons (6 if you remove the covid year we started 14-3) have produced 3 CWS appearances and he’s missed the tournament once. 

    Claiming DP isn’t meeting our standard is ignorant and arguably fucking regarded. Like, a brief review of our last 20 years of results should probably be required before people post here.
