  1. Mack exorcised some demons beating Diaz's defense even worse than BYU did. This year Mack seems to have recreated the same energy he had early in his career at Texas. His players are turning into studs, his recruiting is outstanding and he still has a WTF loss that slightly undermines a fantastic season.

    We would not have beat LSU in Baton Rouge.  Herman would have found a way to fuck that up in the 4th quarter.  However, we would have likely gone 8-4 and won the Cheez-It Bowl in Orlando or the Texas Bowl in Houston and finished 9-4.  He'd still be averaging 5 losses/season for $6mm/year (all-in).  

     

    LSU let Mississippi State throw for 623 yards on them with State QB K.J. Costello setting an SEC passing record. Costello would be permanently benched halfway through the season as State stumbled to a 2-5 record with their offense being shut out twice.

    We would have beat fucking LSU. They are a Charlie Strong tier team this season, just look at some of their box scores.

  3. The idea that anything Mack did stopped Saban from coming to UT was always extremely retarded. Mack was great and if we fire Herman and hire someone like Franklin or Cristobal this board will get to enjoy 4 years of Mack and UNC having a better W/L record than us.

    Looking at NFL coordinators other than Joe Brady, I know Bieniemy is the hot name because of Kansas City’s success, but I can’t take him seriously.   He was the biggest assclown imaginable as a player and then again as a position coach at Colorado under Gary Barnett, and then he was CU’s offensive coordinator in 2011-2012 when they were about the worst team in college football.   His career is nothing but being a clown and a failure except for the years he latched on to Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes.

    What is the story on Greg Roman?  He doesn’t seem to get any NFL head coach offers, so maybe there’s an issue.  But on paper he looks interesting.  He has some limited college experience with Harbaugh at Stanford.   He’s been OC for SF with Kaepernick, Buffalo with Tyrod Taylor, and Baltimore with Lamar Jackson.  He’s produced decent to good offenses adapting his offense to ground based spread option systems for those guys, whereas most NFL coordinators probably would have just forced them into the typical NFL offense and failed miserably. 

    I do like the idea of getting someone with NFL experience vs. a lot of our other options.   NFL coaches at least know what talent is supposed to look like.  They usually recruit and evaluate well like Herm is doing at ASU, and they don’t make personnel decisions like playing Garrett Gray and Cade Brewer at slot WR for 4 years in a row.   

    Greg Roman's deal is he creates a fantastic offense year 1. Year 2 it gets figured out and he refuses to change it. He gets fired shortly after.

    If it isn't Urban I'm fine staying with our current staff, all these other guys blow. I like Yurich's offense and want to see what it would look like with competent QB play.

    Seeing as we didn't play on Saturday, you could say that for anyone on our roster.

    Sterns was our leading tackler on Friday.

     

    The recent mocks I've seen have him going third/fourth round. How? I have no idea.

    I mean Quandre Diggs has been a very solid starter in the NFL despite most on this board hating him at the end of his career at Texas.

    Yeah I can't really make sense of when a cancellation/delay is or isn't called for in this league

    Interesting implications for fantasy football. Does Freeman (if it is Freeman) go out there and get 25 carries?

    I think rescheduling happens when they aren't sure about the contact tracing/who might have come into contact with the virus.

    Sam is a very good if limited QB who's been constantly hamstrung by a stubborn, moronic Coach that refuses to address shitty oline play or scheme to our talent advantages. Did I cover everything?

    Our OL is rated the 2nd best in the Big 12 behind Kansas State. Watch other teams play. There are very few QBs who have more time to throw than Sam.

  8. You can't build an offense around a QB this limited and not have it figured out within a few weeks. Our offensive scheme is good this year our senior QB is not. Face it, Sam has been the ceiling on the team this year. We are not wasting him, we are waiting for him to leave. It's sad because theres been clear regression. He wasn't this bad before.

    Everyone wants to blame the QB when the numbers get worse, but fail to look at all the variables. What would happen to Trevor Lawrence's numbers if he had to play behind the Texas shitty OL? Sure Sam has been off, and the talent at WR has dropped, but Josh Moore has been good. However, I still think the biggest factor has been the OL. No QB can be successful running around for their life all game.

    I love Sam to death but even in plays where he has a full 5 seconds he will just flat out miss. Dude has sucked this year and there is no way around it. WRs are constantly open down field. OU game I think Sam missed 7 deep shots to dudes who were wide open. I think it says something that his best year in 18' was the year we never even attempted a true deep ball and ranked dead last in FBS in the "explosive plays" category. I think it's impossible to win a championship with a QB like Sam nowadays.

    sucks that both of these statements are true.

    Kingsburry having a top offense in the NFL while having an Ewok under center is the best timeline.

  11. Okay I did get it slightly wrong. Goodwin got involved in this by supporting Jackson's non apology that doubled down on the anti-semitism. Maybe (hopefully) he misunderstood what Jackson was saying?

    IF all he wrote on the page was what is in his post, then you are pretty fucking sensitive and not thinking clearly.

    Nah its not. Marquise stated full support for a blatantly racist statement in a different comment from a Nation of Islam leader. He's supporting the idea that the Jews are an evil cabal working to keep down black people as part of their plan for world domination. I don't think I'm over reacting by saying I find that disappointing. You never know the weird shit celebrities believe but I'm still surprised by shit like this. Nation of Islam has deep ties to legitimate old school Nazism, they are rightfully classified as a hate group. A bunch of NBA and NFL players are coming out in support of this.

    I'll explain the other comment. People are mad at Goodwin's BLM comment because it's in response to people criticizing antisemitism. He is trying to downplay the problem of antisemitism, saying they should ignore antisemitism to focus on BLM. That's basically the same as others responding to BLM by saying All Lives Matter. Something Goodwin is against. It comes off as hypocritical.

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here but this is what I'm seeing.

  13. The amount of players supporting Jackson's overtly antisemitic post is really disturbing. I know its not actually a Hitler quote, its just a quote from a guy who said "Here the Jews don't like Farrakhan and so they call me 'Hitler'. Well that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man."

    Marquise is my favorite player from the lost era. This is really disappointing

    It was written for a minstrel show. Minstrel shows were known for mocking black people. That matters in the context of The Eyes of Texas being played at athletic events involving African American student athletes.

    It was written by a guy who did minstrel shows and he advertised it at a minstrel show. But I don't think it was written for the show, was part of the show, or was in actuality was "a minstrel song". Its missing the characteristics of minstrel songs that make them so offensive, such as the played up African American dialect in the lyrics as well as the mocking tone directed at black people. It was written with a different purpose in mind and has very different content from abhorrent minstrel songs.

    Compare this

    When I was young I us'd to wait
    On Massa and hand him de plate;
    Pass down de bottle when he git dry,
    And bresh away de blue tail fly.
     Jim crack corn I don't care,
     Jim crack corn I don't care,
     Jim crack corn I don't care,
     Ole Massa gone away.

    To this

    The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
    All the livelong day.
    The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
    You cannot get away.
    Do not think you can escape them
    At night or early in the morn --
    The Eyes of Texas are upon you
    Til Gabriel blows his horn.

    Do you get what I'm saying? If the meaning behind Eyes was anything remotely similar to the content of minstrel songs I would support its removal and replacement.

    I'm not going to die on this hill but just giving my two cents.

  15. The lyrics arent racist and what the song is about and represents isn't racist in any context. The story I read was talking about the song being offensive because its based on a song (railroad) based on a song ( Levee song) that IS racist. Now I'm hearing it may have debuted at a blackface show? 

    I just don't see Eyes being the real issue. If socio economic problems in black communities were solved I dont think anyone would be playing 8 degrees of Kevin Racism with The Eyes.
