  1. Don't bet against us. We're good at finding worse.
  2. Destiny happened. As in Shaka.
  3. Nothing with Shaka is unbelievable.
  4. If it's not the worst, it doesn't have much competition.
  5. At least they're consistent, right?
  6. Yes. Given our recent history, we're not really in a position to be turning up our nose at any genuine glimmer of success. Now if we can just get a decent performance in the big tournament.
  7. Well done. I will gladly admit I was wrong when I said Shaka would never amount to anything at Texas. I'm happy for him and the team first, and we long suffering fans second. But let's please not start talking contract extensions just yet.
  8. Yeah, less penalty yardage would certainly be welcome.
  9. The thread asked for Year One expectations. If Herman follows up my expectations with three years like the last two, I suspect he'll be in trouble as well.
  10. 1. Beat OU 2. W-L Floor of 10-3 with CCG appearance 3. Top 5 recruiting class 4. Bowl win
  11. We are trash. The only possible wins left on this schedule are Cincinnati and the fucking Eagles. I hope we lose out for a better draft pick.
  12. But on the bright side, this season has given us the stupidest, most inexplicable fake punt attempt in quite some time. And after all, isn't that what the Cowboys are all about under Jones--comparing freakish moments of misery to ponder which is worse?
  13. He's certainly the most consistently disappointing. Or maybe we're just looking at this all wrong. Since the Cowboys under Jones are never going anywhere, maybe we should just be happy about a badly injured young man who worked his ass off to steal from Jerry. He's hardly the first one to do it, but he might be the most inspirational.
  14. Well, I guess this season is officially a write off now, even in a historically bad division. Maybe we should just call ourselves the Dallas (sort of) Football Team for the rest of the year.
  15. Nothing quite like getting your ass kicked by a team that doesn't even have a name.
  16. How about that NFC East. I guess it'll come down to who wants it less.
  17. And just to officially jinx us, for all our flaws, how does this team not win the NFC East? The Giants are dog meat now, the Washington Football Team is about as exciting as its name, and Carson Wentz has turned into a pumpkin (I guess the Eagles saw that coming with their draft picks). So basically, all we have to do is stagger to the finish line upright. I'm not saying we're Super Bowl material. But the NFC East? Them's some easy pickins.
  18. Meh. It might help Dallas make the playoffs a little more often, but it's hard to get too excited about adding another solidly mediocre team, at best, to the playoffs.
  19. This is the part I just don't get. Post-havoc, Shaka has simply defined no functional approach to winning basketball. WTF. How is that even possible? What does he tell himself in the recesses of his own mind when he watches this team play? Does he really not know how to do this? Some coaches aren't ultimately successful for a variety of reasons, but it's generally not because they fail open at one of the very first tasks any coach at this level simply must be capable of. It's like we hired a plumber who refuses to disconnect pipes.
  20. It's possible we're being a little unfair to Greg Davis.
  21. Sadly, however, we all know someone who left Richmond for Austin.
  22. Maybe we've been thinking about this all wrong. Maybe Shaka deserves a mulligan for five years because being a college basketball coach is hard. It's even harder if, heaven forbid, you have to play a couple of teams that are considered to actually be good. And we'd all surely agree that this Horns team would be doing better if they played in my neighborhood Pee-Wee league. So maybe we should just thank Shaka for all his effort in such an impossible situation. After all, it's not like we're paying him a bunch of money or anything. Hmm... Or we could just say "fuck him" and hire a coach who can field a team that isn't a never-ending embarrassment.
  23. You're either a truly dedicated troll or an imbecile.
