  1. Likely correct... but we love us some massively sweetened kool-aid,
  2. Poor choice of words... I'd prolly go for definitely.
  3. Errybody that's big enough and athletic enough needs to play. If a guy's Good, he'll be NFL-bound soon enough. If he ain't, better to find out now.
  4. At this point, I'm looking over my shoulder at the Not-Even-Seven-Wins of '21 and the collapse into six consecutive Ls for the first time in 65 years. Of course, that can't happen, right?
  5. Clear demonstration of innumeracy. Ain't nobody playing themselves, so that's at best the other 134... No wonder we keep failing at "fourth and two, men, let's get a yard."
  6. Sorry nobody asked: Coach, your QB was sacked, hit, pressured, or forced to scramble on about eighty percent of his plays. It looks like OU may have an even better D than Florida... how are you planning to fix that?
  7. Main takeaway: This is not a happy coach.
  8. Brown bald-spot paint is a little too dark, little too wet. But it goes well with CoachSpeak.
  9. Solution: gotta coach better. gotta play better.
  10. Sark thinks we didn't play well on either side of the LOS.
  11. But at least they're playing Texas Fight every few seconds...
  12. Does any of the gang that visited The Swamp recall seeing Connor Stalions standing near Sun Bely Billy on the sideline?
  13. Which was lost because Mack had only one backup QB, a freshman with poor eyesight, who had taken fairly few snaps, only in garbage time, who was your Sunday Newspaper Parade Magazine High School Football Player of the Year, and on basically about the same level as Arch at the same age. Unfortuately your Shoulda-had-the-Heisman QB - a Mister McCoy - got speared in the shoulder by a 500-pound Bammer DL, allowed by refs to try a few throws to see if he could play, and couldn't. Texas had to take an official time out to do the testing and allow QB2 to find his helmet, which wound up taking long enough that the refs threatened to charge another time out. The Kid finally found his helmet, got in the game and converted a couple TD opportunities into field goals. Although Texas came close, Bama scored two more TDs in desperation/garbage time of the last couple of minutes and made it look like a three score blowout. After the game, Mack announced that he was going to follow the example of the other team's Head Coach, Saban, and create a running team. He didn't mention that he allegedly had told his Defensive Coordinator, Will Muschamp, that he was going to retire after the game and Coach Muschamp, whose official title included the words "Head Coach In Waiting" would be the new Head Coach. Mack allegedly excused himself by claiming he never said he was going to retire, but that he was planning to retire... but had simply changed his plans. You can imagine how happy Muschamp was. That, mind you, was at the end of the 2009 season. Me? I put the start of the Wildeness Wandering right there.
  14. Hmmm... if we can find some large, athletic humans for the team, should we keep Flood or nah? I mean, other than evaluation, is he the guy?
  15. Big humans - check No athleticism - check Hmmmm... maybe the man got a point there...
  16. Last time Sark was an HC, his OC drove him to drink, and he got fired. For cause, no buyout and the OC got his job. Would you ever hire another OC?
  17. No Wife. No Horse. No Mustache.
  18. Miz Long (Criminal Defense Lawyer) espouses this view. She sees Mack Brown as the guy who shit all over the house on his way out the door, and being allowed back in later. She thinks he's probably shitting in the closets and the pantry right now.
  19. I hope they do, but they almost certainly won't.
  20. It has been difficult to believe that any sort of practice involving first team OL versus first, even second, team DL could leave a single coach, player, or casual observer with the impression that the OL is fully functional. The OL coach is also the co-OC for Run Game. There may be some correspondences to be drawn.
  21. Not unless they want to be banned. On the other hand, if I were a journo, I might plan on getting banned and build a PR $9.95 campaign for post-banning... Seven-win Steve Sarkisian bans Tough Question Surly
  22. TIL Gnarly is narly is nearly.
  23. If I were bankrolling a team, I'd want information in return, and it would have to be information that Vegas didn't get.
  24. Is UT paying Mack Brown?
  25. No. 9-3 means no CCG, and we're not in with that record. At 10-3 with CCG game, win or lose, we might get in. Def in with a CCG win, even at 10-3.
