  1. That touches on a question I've been pondering. If they could take 5 Demond Demases in one class, how many catches and yards would they combine for as freshmen?
  2. Here are three more fun activities to try out when you're done with that one: 1. Light yourself on fire. 2. Run head first into a brick wall. 3. Enjoy a long, intimate chat with futureman or Spider2YBanana. Since you're into that sort of thing.
  3. They guaranteed him that he will double Demond Demas' receiving totals as a freshman.
  4. Why does a small minority of Texas fans insist on this kind of simpering self-loathing? A fifth star is usually reserved for seemingly can't-miss prospects. Murphy is more of a high-risk, high-reward take with five star upside, but not a five star floor. There is always an exception to the rule, but spare us the tiresome and Quixotic "Texas fans are getting pissy that Murphy is going to drop in the rankings" schpiel. Most posters here see Murphy as a solid high four star, which is probably what he should be.
  5. The real question is, "What does this say about Texas?" - Tim Cowpieshaw, probably
  6. A little clarity? That's called changing your story or not getting your facts straight. It's also classless to tweet out before the University or the Brown family have publicly said anything.
  7. Keep going. https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/index.php?/profile/5384-hornfromdallas/content/&all_activity=1 https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/index.php?/profile/5384-hornfromdallas/content/page/2/&all_activity=1 https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/index.php?/profile/5384-hornfromdallas/content/page/3/&all_activity=1
  8. Haha. Welcome to Surly, where someone calls a hundred grand for football tickets "a pretty good deal" and a "reasonably priced hobby" and it quickly becomes consensus. 🙃
  9. You make a fair observation that there were a couple of decent points mixed in with the other pot-stirring crap which comprised the bulk of that article.
  10. Get out of here with the, "I'm more reasonable and objective than you," defense of that hack piece. What's wrong with the article? Start with the headline. Does Meyer trying his hand at the NFL imply that there is something terribly wrong at Texas? Is there something wrong at all of the other college programs he could be coaching at if he had chosen to? Then there's the "You turn down our money for the Jaguars???" red herring, as if he took the Jaguars' job pro bono out of the altruistic abundance of his precious little heart. I don't think Meyer's contract numbers have or will be disclosed, but reports were he wanted the same $12 million that was floated for the job at Texas. Then there is the other nonsensical scat dropped in liberally throughout like Urban choosing the Jags is the same as Saban leaving Alabama or coaching in the NFL is a no-win prospect because who can name the last three coaches of the Jaguars? I mean, really? If Urban succeeds in Jacksonville, will he suddenly be forgotten like every NFL head coaching failure? Lastly, he just couldn't resist dropping in the long-debunked and oft-repeated false premise that Texas is a uniquely miserable place to coach because there is just too damn much interference from the boosters, unlike every other college program where the head coach isn't accountable to a president and a board and doesn't answer to anyone for how millions of dollars are spent. What a load of crap.
  11. When you explain it this way, that's not bad at all. I might have to look into this in a couple of years when my 40" LCD is paid off.
  12. Couple that with firing the staff's weakest link less than ten hours onto the job and Sark isn't messing around.
  13. Maybe this is Saban's way of getting revenge for Flood and Banks. Saban: "Steve, you should really consider Mike. He's one of the best coaches I've ever had the pleasure of working with." Sark: "Then why didn't you give him a real coaching position instead of a four foot cubicle and the grunt jobs none of the other interns wanted?" Saban: "Steve? Steve? Signals a bit choppy. I gotta go. Breaking down film on Southern Miss. Make sure you don't let Mike get away. Let's do a brunch soon."
  14. Maybe Sark thought there would be too much confusion having two Colemans on the same staff.
  15. @Sheep Have Wool I think we're going to need an update of the Hitler video.
  16. It took satyanash .3 milliseconds to like this post.
