  1. None of us wants to hear this but if Urban doesn't come--for whatever reason(s)--then we're most likely stuck with Herman. We need a true splash hire, and if it's not Urban, nobody can come up with even a plausible alternative. In that case, look at all the reasons/excuses to keep him: $-buyout, COVID, fear of the dreaded 3-and-out Groundhog Day coaching carousel, public perception. I could go on and on. These are mostly excuses, granted, but without a killer hire that makes everybody say, "Holy shit. Did you see who Texas hired?" it's doubtful that we do anything. And I hate that as much as anybody.
  2. Whatta' you mean, "borderline?"
  3. Likely 62-Bob McKay, 71-Leo Brooks, and 77-Bill Atessis. Can't guarantee that, however.
  4. At this point, there are 219 pages of "Fire Tom Herman" and 24 pages of "Texas O-Line Talk" and the O-Line Talk thread is 5 months older. Herman needs to go. Certainly. But by far the biggest problem is the OL, because if we had even a decent OL, we'd be 4-0 and stuck with Herman forever. Those of you who thanked Kansas for getting rid of our last abomination, Charlie Strong, should thank the OL for being so bad for so long. Yes, we need to fire Herman but if we had a decent OL, firing Herman wouldn't even be an option we'd be in a position to be talking about. In essence, our shitty OL gives us leverage over Herman. Strange how that works, is it not?
  5. Defending Herman by saying, "Well, at least he's not as bad as Charlie," is downright embarrassing because Charlie was, bar none, the worst coach in the history of Texas football--hell, maybe in the history of all football.
  6. You're familiar with the old pot-and-kettle metaphor, I assume?
  7. I agree with the poster above that Sam should be Urban's Recruit Number One. Just like Ricky was Mack's. Sam may or may not have an NFL future, but we know he bleeds orange. Maybe he'd like to stay one more year and put some skins on the wall.
  8. Don't let that miraculous, almost-successful comeback cloud your thinking. This is a bad team with bad coaching. The biggest problem is that our offensive line pales in comparison to the Sam Houston State junior varsity. And it's not going to get any better. Plus, recruiting is starting to come apart. Oh, and did I mention the Portal? It's time to get rid of Tom Herman. We won't, for a variety of reasons, but we should. And then we should pay Urban Meyer whatever it takes. We won't do that either. For the foreseeable future we'll continue to be Tom Herman-bad, or Charlie Strong-bad; hell, I can't tell the difference anymore.
  9. The demands of what you're passionate about get more urgent as your remaining years diminish. Loosely translated, that means if you give a shit about Texas football, your time frame to get rid of Herman shrinks with each disappointing game. Actually, it shrinks with each game--they're all disappointing. Even the Tech game when we "won."
  10. Nobody has the balls to say this, but I find it hard to argue with.
  11. Jake's from Scottsdale. His yard is probably completely xeriscaped with rocks and gravel. No, Jake's from State Farm.
  12. And add to this the fact that ESPN has politicized sports reporting. They're alienating the very core fanbase that put them where they are by eschewing good, honest coverage of sport and instead pimping for a distorted point of view in hopes of keeping the eyeballs of the lunatic fringe glued up.
  13. Yes. Well, actually, "The OU Game."
