    6 game winning streak in 2018. Tulsa, USC, TCU (hey, remember when we beat them?), @KSU, OU, and Baylor. 

    We also may want to take the opportunity to push another streak, this one to eleven: late Mack, all Charlie, and all #MensaTom so far, have combined for ten consecutive years of having two consecutive losses at least once a season. Lincoln Riley just lost two for 0U's first time to lose twice in a row since 1999.

  2. #MensaTom's coaching style and repetitive bullshit about how he's going to improve the team have reached - and passed - the point of no return. He has demonstrated fully that he is not competent to build winning teams. From here on out, top-level recruits are going to go somewhere else. He's no Gary Patterson, so his teams are just going to get worse and worse as the recruiting results get worse. If we wait until the end of the season to shitcan his ass, we'll destroy the recruiting class, which in turn will make it even more difficult for the next HC, as it has the last two times. I understand the reluctance to hire Urban, but if we're not going to hire him because of Aaron Hernandez, Zach Smith and other not-so-high profile cases, we need to make that clear, publicly, right now, and accept that we're going to get worse instead of better. 

  3. You call Urban first. He's in or he's out. If he's out, you're done.

    If he's in, get the price. Call Big Dog 1, tell him Urban's in, we need 25 megabux, how much are you in for?

    Call Big Dog 2, tell him Urban's in, we need 25 megabux, how much are you in for?

    Repeat until you're done with the Big Dog list.

    Call #MensaTom. Tell him, Tom, you're done. Urban needs to wrap up, but he'll be here in a coupla days. You need to set up a presser and announce your resignation. Do it tomorrow, or I will set one up and announce you're fired. I'll take care of the staff. 'Bye.

    Remember the story last year of tendencies and etc and how teams were tee’ing off on us due to those tendencies? I think it’s safe to assume that is happening still. Our scheme doesn’t look all that different just the route concepts seem different. 

    I 'member, is why I am puzzled. Gary's been doing that to #MensaTom four years now. Need to recognize we're being played and attack instead of responding... you know, like sometimes intentionally give the tipoff and run the opposite.  

  5. Mike. Have a little heart-to-heart with Sam. Tell him you wouldn't be here if Tom was worth a bucket of warm spit at play calling. When you check the sideline, look up to the press box and I'll show you a green light or a red light. Green light, run the play they show; red light, ignore that shit and run the 1st down play.

  6. Something I've not seen mentioned (probably just looking in the wrong places) with regard to offensive play calling is that - particularly with Sweatin' Gary - nearly every time the team sets a formation and then errbody stands up and stares intently at the sideline, the opposing D waits for Sam to re-set and then changes their look. It seems like, more often than not, our play then gets stuffed. I'm assuming that oppo DCs have a damn good idea what our offense is going to use to attack the D they show, so they're just baiting #MensaTom into doing just that, which their shift is designed to attack. 

    If they know it, why don't we know it, and take steps to attack that? Stupidity? Arrogance? Are we really that predictable? Are these only happening when they see #MensaTom calling the play?

  7. Is Yurcich taking full responsibility for some of the shit play calls?

    That is, it has appeared to some of us that there is an uncanny resemblance in the Tech and TCU games to a lot of the wtf moments on offense from last season... is #MensaTom insisting on having the last word on some possessions, and overriding what Yurcich calls? Looking at #MensaTom on the sidelines, flapping a play sheet and screaming at someone on his headset, it seems plausible...

    I’d like my schools football team to win more. It would be nice. I’m not so desperate that I would want to do anything to win.

    most schools suck at FB

    Well, half of 'em, anyhow.

  9. Far's I'm concerned, Mitchell can get back in the portal, and stay there 'til he's gone. Our coaches are too chickenshit to do that, though.

    I'm giving fewer fractional fucks every time #MensaTom opens his mouth.

    i like this idea, plus give Urban a head-HC title, and control of the program. “ So Mensa, what would you would say you do here?“

    I think it would work, and with any luck at all, #MensaTom would be sufficiently butthurt to run away sucking his thumb... especially if we can Jimbo him away without requiring him to buy out (that's what Free Shoes U did for Jimbo, wasn't it?).

    Urban is basically a Mafia Don.  Show him absolute loyalty and he will show you absolute loyalty, particularly if you are the grandson of his own Don (Earle Bruce).  With respect to Urban's role, the Zach Smith scandal is no more complicated than that.  

    This. This right here is the long and short of it.

    I want Urban to coach Texas. As much as any reason, I want this because it will tell us once and for all whether we have just been blindingly stupid in hiring, or we as a program are simply cursed.

    Call him up, make him Assistant AD for Football (which he already is, or at least was very recently at tOSU), make #MensaTom report to him. Let the winning commence.

    Looking at the remaining schedule the only game I’m confident in is Kansas. 
     

    we could easily lose to the other 7 teams. 

    Agreed, except last year's KU game makes me uneasy about our visit to Lawrence.

    What were Mack's thoughts on scheduling Maryland?

       Being as how we'd played them back in the days, and they never even scored on us, I'd guess he wasn't scared to death...
