  1. Dunno if I'd go for Boom today. But in 2010, he was "Head Coach-in-waiting", he convinced the big dogs to make Mack sack GDGD, and he wanted to replace GDGD with Dana Fucking Holgorsen. I'm convinced Holgo would've ben on the next plane to Austin, would've figured something out, some way to put some fucking points on the board. Another year or two of decent recruiting (not a one hundred percent given, but... we're Texas, no?) and we would have been kicking ass. Let fucking Holgo live in the Driskill and have room service sending up cheerleaders by the bushel, let him spend Sundays and Mondays in Vegas, what the fuck ever. I do believe that would've worked out a fuck of a lot better than life its own self did.

    Take Boom today? Prolly not...

     I'd say Brian Harsin carried the 2012 team on his shoulders.

    No, no, no! The Maj carried that team on his shoulders.

    Of course, that's because The Maj was being carried on Harsin's shoulders...

  3. I woulda been happy if MensaTom had kept Gilbert/Mattox, but...

    Briles and Leach have in common in their playcalling that they kept calling the same option play over and over until the oppo stopped it - and then ran the wrinkle/constraint of the same play.

    Yeahhhh... that's an excellent question, Chip. I don't think I'm arrogant, as such. I think I'm confident that we're on the right track, and sometimes confidence comes across a little bit strong.

    By the way, a lot of those same surly fans were chanting FCB! FCB! What does that mean?

    I'd say this weekend is pretty much a must win for both fan support and player buy in.  Luckily Herman has a pretty good track record of getting his team up for big games.  

    So what? MensaTom needs some serious improvement, "pretty good" won't get it. He needs an excellent track record in getting his team up for every game. He probably has this year and next to make that happen, and it needs to start happening now. He needs to win all the games he is expected to win, and at least one he is not expected to win. 

    Beating SC this Saturday is a toss-up, I think. They beat a fairly bad UNLV (by scoring 24 points in Q4) and last week got stuffed by Stanford. We have to play a whole lot better than we have so far if we're going to beat them. I don't expect we will, but it is as close to a must-win as MensaTom has seen here. If he pulls it out, he will be way, way up on getting the whole thing turned around - assuming he has the sense to not act like his mommy just told him they're going to Disneyland, and instead congratulates the team and coaches (at least, the ones not named Tom Herman) on a decent performance and proceeds to enumerate what we did wrong and still need to work on - "We're getting better, but we're not a really good team, not yet."
