  1. So hopefully with at least a partial spring, we'll partially not suck!
  2. We didn’t even have a spring last year. We'll be fine.
  3. It cannot be said enough that this season is the best it will get under Shaka. It takes an extremely experienced and talented team to even be above average with him at coach, and that is obvious to anyone who knows anything about college basketball. There is no positive to keeping a loser like him around. People will get over the "racism" as soon as there is a new scandal to jump on. If you were the AD at a major college athletics institution and you were looking for a new coach, would Shaka even make the top 10 on your wish list? If not, then why would you keep him? It is better for everyone for him to be let go.
  4. A one point win over Tech, forfeit over Kansas, and a solid win over Okie lite will save his job despite this? This is the most talented team he will ever coach at Texas. This is the best it will ever get with him. How can an AD know that and think, "I'll give this ass clown one more year to change my mind."
  5. I don't know how anyone can look a that the coaches that CDC has hired anf have that opinion, but okay.
  6. There is so much irony in all of this. Shaka's ENTIRE REPUTATION is built on one magical tournament run from 10 years ago at VCU, and he can't buy a tournament win at TEXAS. Not only that, but the game that should end it all was a loss to a team that played with the same spirit and defensive intensity that sparked that run. All of which he was supposed to bring here. Time is a flat circle I guess??? Can we have a real coach now?
  7. I love perusing this guy's stuff (@mathbomb on the Twitters), but his size scores are idiotic especially for a position like wide receiver. Eagle's speed and agility scores tell you everything you need to know.
  8. I know KU has Les Miles, but it's beyond me how any historically awful team gets anyone to commit in any situation outside of being a signing day fall-back option.
  9. 👀 the # he's wearing. It takes some major confidence to wear that number at the same position as the last guy to wear it.
  10. South Dakota forced Illinois State into 7 turnovers yesterday. 5 of them were in consecutive drives. Never seen anything like it. Ended up winning with a freshman QB who attended HS 2 miles from Illinois State's campus.
  11. Exactly. When have any of these guys landed an elite job straight out of school due to picking Stanford?
  12. TBH Georgia would be the ideal school for Bear to commit to if not Texas. Since he won't be shutting things down, it's good that he won't spend much of the next year being indoctrinated to hate Texas. In the meanwhile, Bo Davis can continue working on a flip.
  13. An imaginary friend of mine who is close with his uncle says that OU is the early leader for Tathan's talents.
  14. Sprinters train to hit top speed at a certain point in the race and a well-trained 200 runner may never truly hit top speed. You can only hold it for a moment and then you begin to fade. 98% effort can obviously be held a while longer.
  15. Any word on if smaller program prospects will be allowed to join in on the pro day of a nearby large program? If not, it's going to be a rough draft season for those guys.
  16. It shouldn't be, but the politically aware players don't see it that way. Deserved or not, being a MAGA loyalist is a barrier to connecting with many minority/urban players and recruits. Perception is reality and all that jazz.
  17. This is all anyone should need to know. This hire cannot be real.
  18. All time worst evaluation. Hands down.
  19. Imagine then winning the national championship and showing up to your new job the next morning. I would have insisted on at least a day to recover. Guess that's not why I didn't get the job.
  20. Last day of us letting Alabama borrow our head coach. I expect him to be returned by tomorrow morning.
  21. We would be wise to bring in some ol' SWC alumni to explain the Arkansas mindset to our players. The players probably don't realize how much they talk about Texas given that we rarely talk about them.
  22. It's totally baffling that Herman and his staff, on one hand, could make several great early evaluations on late risers every cycle, yet on the other hand, consistently fail to even pursue several elite players each cycle.
