  1. This whole Osaka thing is bizarre. I'm plenty sympathetic to mental health issues but if you're going to be a professional athlete you need to, you know, be a professional. She comes across as if she thinks she is terminally unique and not culpable for anything because of some nebulous issue. 

    Typically you need to be willing to help yourself before others are willing to help you. If playing tennis is too much for her then she needs to take a serious break. If being away from the game is more painful then she needs to learn how to navigate it better. The circus she is putting on is ridiculous and a disservice to her peers.

    How many times do people have to tell y'all that he talks shit about Texas to anyone who will listen? And if you haven't somehow missed this fact which has been posted here dozens of times, why is it difficult to understand Texas fans rooting against him?

    Him talking shit about Texas doesn't erase his career here. The way people try and give him zero credit for anything that he accomplished is ridiculous and entitled.

    It’s North Carolina….   What he’s done with the program from where it was is pretty impressive.  He said we were obviously overrated in his press conference.  I don’t get the hate for him still from a lot of y’all?  I understand the end wasn’t good but let’s just imagine for a second the situation of the program without him and hiring someone like Tom Herman back then?  

    The Mack hate is cultish here. I'm not his biggest fan but the revisionism gets silly sometimes. He brought us our first tile in 35 years - all with his own players. Vince was amazing but he didn't win that title by himself. He had 21 other bad motherfuckers around him that Mack got to campus. And then the next guy didn't do anything under Mack but win 46 games, beat OU three times, win a BCS bowl and B12 title and play for a national championship. 

    We don't need to erase his legacy because he was cunty on the way out and began our desert wandering. He presided over the 2nd greatest decade in Texas history. Texas isn't some magical job where every coach succeeds - Mack's predecessors and successors prove that.
