  1. Edit: well, fuck me. I saw the news of the false report broke while I was typing my rant. Would I have picked Stoops for the job? No, because I despise the Stoops name as much as anyone here. But I can't fathom actually being as upset about it as some of you are. It's a fucking linebackers coach. Anyone who thinks he's going to have enough on-field influence to make our defense suck, or enough off-field influence to lead Sark back to drinking needs to calm the fuck down. If he brings absolutely nothing else to the table, it seems worth it to have a coach on staff that knows more about defending OU's offense than pretty much any other coach out there. His tenure at OU obviously didn't end well, but let's not forget who was in charge of the OU defense the last time they won a national championship, or the last time they beat Alabama. Sark hit a grand slam with every single one of his other hires, so let's not act like a bunch of pussies over his final piece of the puzzle.
  2. Saban’s going to do everything in his power to keep Sark from taking any other Bama coaches with him. I actually just recently watched the HBO special about Saban and Belichick, and there was a segment where they both discussed having assistant coaches leave to take head coaching jobs. Saban said something along the lines of “I’m all for helping my guys develop as coaches and then move on to other things, but I have a real problem when those coaches think they can just take other pieces of our program with them. I’m not ok with that.” That doesn’t necessarily mean Sark won’t get any of the Bama coaches that have been mentioned, but I do fully expect Saban to derail as many of those as he can.
  3. His interception in the NCG cost us 17 yards of field position, and then Colt got hurt on the 12 yard line... So, I think it's more than justifiable to blame Colt's injury on Blake.
  4. I can't even estimate the number of times I said the words "I fucking love Sam Ehlinger" out loud over the last four years.
  5. What the fuck is the comma in there for? Edit for clarity: I'm questioning the comma in Ketch's tweet.
  6. Fuck it. I choose to believe this. Following this board over the last few weeks is the most fun I've had as a Texas football fan in awhile, so I might as well keep the fun alive while I can. Let's fuckin ride
  7. We don't deal with unrealistic hypotheticals on this board.
  8. Sam wasn't talking trash or flexing in OSU's face, because he knew OSU was about to go right down the field and score.
  9. The play calling clearly changes when he's not 100%. It's clear as day to anyone paying attention.
  10. Hell, I'll settle for him not snapping the ball into his own asshole when Sam is in shotgun.
  11. "This is John... (heavy sigh)... whatever..." texas.
  12. As a Longhorn fan that lives in Nashville and has to deal with annoying Tennessee fans all the time, I am staunchly opposed to this comparison. Tennessee's most recent national championship appearance was 11 years before our most recent appearance. I'm obviously not happy with the state of our program, but I argue all the time that we're not even close to being on Tennessee's level.
  13. I know a guy who had success running the offense under Urban, and it just so happens he's soon to be looking for a job.
  14. Here's a badass thought that I think we can all get behind: Part of me wants Sam to come back next year because I love the guy. But part of me wants him to move on so we don't risk unrest from our younger QBs and QB recruits that we have lined up. WHAT IF... at the end of this year Sam realizes the only way he'll have an NFL career is if he takes a Taysom Hill role, so he decides to come back next year and play TE/HB for us to show NFL scouts he can play that role. We could obviously also line him up in shotgun for short yardage and goal line situations. That would give us the best of both worlds: keep our best "team" guy around to stabilize things with our new coach (fingers crossed) without disrupting the lineage of great QBs we have lined up. Thoughts?
  15. It has been mentioned in passing a few times on this board, but I'm shocked Herman's "Family Fridays" haven't received more attention/scrutiny from the national media. I remember thinking it was a cool idea when Herman first got here. My thought was "Hell yea, the players are going to love playing for this guy which will make us dominant!". But now here we are 3.5 years later and we have a sufficient sample size to conclude that something Herman is doing just flat out isn't working. Yet somehow no one has focused in on the fact that our guys play fucking wiffle ball and freeze tag the day before every single game instead of working on their gameplan. The NCAA already limits the amount of time teams are allowed to practice each week, and we choose to purposely handicap ourselves by throwing out one of those limited days of practice? Fuck you, Tom.
  16. It's absolutely worth it. Think about it; we can either hand the team off to an "up and comer" right now while the team is in shambles, or we could hand it off to an "up and comer" in 3-4 years after Urban gets us back up to the top. I'm taking option B every single time. Look at how things turned out for OU when Stoops handed things off to Riley while the deck was stacked, or for OSU when Urban handed things off to Ryan Day. Compare those two situations to how things turned out for us when we passed our Charlie Strong diarrhea soup off to Herman. No brainer.
  17. Guys, guys, guys... There's too much arguing going on about this situation, when in reality we should all be united to rejoice one simple fact: the CDC declaration is going to piss off a lot of the players which will make them play even worse, which will get Herman out of here even faster. Whether you agree with his actual decision or not, CDC did us all a solid.
  18. Let's not forget that if the 2-pt conversion at the end of regulation had failed, we still would have had a chance at another onside kick and try to set up a last second field goal. I know recovering an onside kick is rare, but we did it two weeks ago, and we damn near almost did it again this week. Like many others have already said, I was screaming "Go for 2!" at my TV as soon as we scored. I can semi-understand him not going for it at the end of 2OT, because that would have been a "win or lose" play. But at the end of regulation, it would have been "win, or take another shot at winning", and Tom is a pussy for not playing those odds.
