  1. Something to be thankful for--we're not this UT.
  2. That's right. Mack certainly isn't winning any national titles at UNC, but I wish him a decent swan song.
  3. Potato love is a sad thing to see.
  4. Any idiot knows Mack, who achieved a lot with this program in his first 11 years, left depth chart problems. But any idiot also knows Charlie, who achieved jack shit with this program in 3 awful years, left depth chart problems and couldn't coach worth a damn. To fanatically cling to the idea that Charlie was a better coach at Texas than Mack is simply silly. If the choice is between Mack in is prime, all his flaws included, vs. Charlie in his prime, that pathetic blank death stare in yet another clusterfuck blowout included, any idiot would take Mack.
  5. Insightful words from Charlie in his postgame: "I thought I had everyone ready to play, and I guess I didn't." You think?
  6. Damn, that's eerie. We've all seen that look too many times.
  7. The cake is baked, dammit! It's just a really, really shitty cake cuz Charlie doesn't know how to cook. Anyone can just throw some ingredients in a bowl, mix them up and put them in the oven. But if you think anchovies, dirt and your latest dump are acceptable ingredients... Well, then you're Charlie.
  8. Ugh. Bad game bringing back bad memories. Who could have imagined when we hired him that Charlie would be in so completely over his head? It was depressing to watch then, and it's depressing to watch now. Can't help but feel a little bad for him getting repeatedly pantsed like this for everyone to see, more of a pity thing I suppose than actual sympathy. He really didn't have a clue we'd look so bad in that game at South Bend. The guy doesn't know what good looks like, which is one of the things you expect when you're paying a coach big money.
  9. Damn sorry to hear this. RIP Ced.
  10. Surely that's because everyone but him has messed up. Mike White cannot fail. He can only be failed by others.
  11. I guess it could sink, too. That should qualify as an underthrow.
  12. In the spirit of the day, that container ship should probably screw up and miss the Philippines.
  13. Hmm. Mike White looked just a tad stoppable tonight. On the plus side, however, not just anyone can complete 7 of 13 passes for 30 yards with only one interception. That's a whole 2.3 yards per attempt. Not to mention that a QB rating of 27.4 is often misunderstood.
  14. So, basically, your claim is that just about anyone, except for Dak, could get 12 wins with this roster, setting aside that one time Dak got 13.
  15. How much per hour will Mike White make stocking shelves at Home Depot? 12? Depends on what state he settles in when he washes out of football. But he'll damn sure be an unstoppable shelf stocking machine.
  16. Unstoppable, huh? Don't you think that's just a tad over the top?
  17. Exactly--who does give a shit? Neither team has much to be proud of from 2010-2018. A&M was marginally better because of the Johnny Football Heisman season and Texas' 3-year sinkhole with Charlie Strong (abetted by prior weak recruiting from Mack for those still butthurt that Charlie got fired). But no one with a brain would consider that an accomplishment.
  18. I wholeheartedly agree. If Dak goes down, we're toast.
  19. I think this is correct. Jerry only wants another ring if he can take credit for it. That's why he's still officially the GM. We're fortunate he's letting other people do much of the work anymore, but don't doubt that his big cancerous ego will still rise up and crush anything around him if he sees a real shot at self glorification.
  20. Yeah, it was a "tragic accident" only in the sense that complex and dangerous construction activities undertaken without properly established rules and supervision can easily become "tragic accidents." Honest people prefer the term "negligence."
  21. Sure you can. Just invent a transporter and have a malfunction like they did with Captain Kirk in that Star Trek episode.
  22. It's dumb to rank solely by winning percentage. That penalizes the real "best" coaches who stuck around long enough to accumulate some losses. Kind of like those idiotic Super Bowl standings that show up every January with the f**king New York Jets and their 1-0 record ranked above the Cowboys, Steelers, Patriots and 49ers.
  23. Way to change the subject. The lack of conference championships is one of the weak marks on Mack's record. That doesn't negate the fact that he recruited well for a long stretch and made Texas consistently relevant on the national scene in a way no one had since Royal. The same guy both won a national title and left us trending down. You take the good with the bad. Of course, some coaches not to be named don't have much good to tote up.
  24. I think once you get much past the 2nd round, it's hard to say how any of these guys will turn out. NFL-wide, a few will be great surprises, some will be nothing much, and some will contribute for a varying number of years. Not really much point in arguing it until we see them play. We are better at this than we used to be under Jerry. Since 2010, we've actually been pretty good with 1rst round choices. 2nd round has worked more often than not as well. 3rd and beyond has been spottier, but there have been some contributors and one noticeable surprise with Dak (I know some people are down on him now, but he's done more than you expect from a 4th rounder). I credit other people, not Jerry, but the difference is noticeable. Now that I've said it, watch us go all in on another special teams draft in 2020.
