    I have the same thing and can't really point to one thing that happened.  Hoping to avoid surgery but I'm going on 6 months of hoping it gets better.

     

    I had this exact same injury on my left shoulder 1 1/2 years ago.......go have surgery, it does not get better.

    That smug mother fucker Joe Tessitore uttered those words when Swoopes plunged into the endzone beating a 4-8 Notre Dame team 50-47 in 2OT.  Yeah people used it to make fun of us when we went 5-7 and 7-6 the next two years, but we didn't 'own it' per se.  Sam saying at the Sugar Bowl 4 years after the fact makes us fucking own it and unfortunately will be Sam's legacy if he wins nothing else. 

     

     

    Yeah, no indictment of Sam though, he said it in a spur-of-the-moment situation, and it happens.  Plus he's a young man and well, they are gonna say some things they may later regret.  My problem with it is all the "grown-ups" that also said it, based on pretty much the Sugar Bowl game.  

    When we start CONSISTENTLY winning conference titles, start CONSISTENTLY get in the running for the playoffs, and CONSISTENTLY win the games we should, then I might think we're "Back"......been a Longhorn fan since I was 8 (in 1968) and I've seen too much BS to believe hype and big talk.  Prove it on the field.  With TH, without him, I don't give a damn.  Just man up as a Team (coaches and players) and get it done.

    Forde-Yard Dash: Herman Still Has a Long Way to Go Before Texas Is Back

    It’s been all about Baylor in the Lone Star State this season, as the Longhorns find themselves in the midst of another middling season.

    Forty names, games, teams and minutiae making news in college football (heart medicine sold separately in Ames, where five out of 10 games have been decided by three points or less):

    MORE DASH: Tua Injury Fallout | Comeback Stories | Pivotal Division Games

    FOURTH QUARTER 

    WE HAVE THIS UPDATE: TEXAS IS NOT BACK

    Beware the fan base that reads too much into a non-playoff bowl victory. When Texas (31) handled a sulking Georgia team last year in the Sugar Bowl, a fan base exhausted by a decade-long malaise went ahead and proclaimed it: the Longhorns would be back as a national power in 2019. The Top 25 voters, addicted to brand names, bought in, ranked them in the top 10 entering the season despite significant losses on defense.

    Everyone was, once again, wrong. Texas is not back, not close to back, and there is no reason to believe it will be back until proving it in games that actually matter.

    After losing to Iowa State Saturday, the Longhorns are a pedestrian 6–4 and a pedestrian 4–3 in the Big 12. They are 23–14 overall under Tom Herman (32), and 16–10 in the league. While that is certainly an improvement over the Charlie Strong body of work (16–21, 12–15 Big 12), it is nearly identical to the last three seasons under Mack Brown (33), which were considered major disappointments. Brown was 25–14 overall, 16–11 in the league.

    It also puts Herman pretty much in line with the other Big 12 coaches not named Lincoln Riley who have been in the conference since 2017. Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy is 24–12, 13–12; TCU’s Gary Patterson is 23–14, 14–12; Iowa State’s Matt Campbell is 22–14, 15–10; and Baylor’s Matt Rhule is 17–18, 11–14.

    With nearly a three-year body of work, there is no discernible difference between the Longhorns under Herman and the rest of the upper-middle class of the Big 12. Everyone is chasing Oklahoma in a muddled pack.

    Thing is, there is supposed to be a difference between Texas and the rest of the upper-middle class. The recruiting rankings suggest that there should be. The tradition screams that there should be. The results aren’t there.

    Even the game-by-game results reinforce the fact that Texas is not operating on a different level. Under Herman, 15 out of 26 conference games have been decided by one score or less. Average score of the Horns’ Big 12 games this season: Texas 32.9, opponents 32.4. Three of the past four have been decided by a field goal on the final play.

    Currently, Baylor is the Lone Star State team putting together a special season. Texas has a chance to do damage to that Saturday in Waco, and to keep its own conference title hopes alive. But anything short of a surprise Big 12 title game appearance and upset of Oklahoma will be viewed as coming up short in 2019.

    None of this means Texas will never be back under Herman. It does mean that the Longhorns have a long way yet to go. And it means that they should have to prove they’re back before saying they’re back.

    Just saw this from Inside Texas on tipping plays:

    The Inside Scoop    (Justin Wells/Eric Nahlin)

    "Herman also seems to think coaching is a 60 minute window on Saturday. Clearly he was out-coached during the week. The Iowa State staff had the Texas staff dead to rights from the opening kick. Things were so bad Cyclones players were taunting Texas players by saying they knew what they were going to run, and all too often, they were right. The same thing happened in the Kansas game and I imagine many others."

    I think I saw the Texas Playbook for sale on eBay......no Reserve......Buy It Now for $9.95

  5. I'm going to assume we finish out 6-6....we MAY beat Tech but I'm not betting on it.......but I have a good idea that Sankey does his best to schedule the aggys against us in the Bowl game....I would if I was him.......we are down, it's the aggys best chance to beat us in awhile, and the ratings would be unbelievable.  IF all that comes to play and we lose in the Bowl, would THAT be enough to get rid of our arrogant prick of a HC?

     We playing 4 DL now?  If so, sounds like it worked.  Defense was good in the second half. 

    I saw more 4 DL schemes today than I've seen all year.......first time all year that it looked like adjustments were made in-game.  Did Orlan_o go home after the 1st quarter?

  7. For you that are arguing about whether Herman is on the hot seat, I refer you to the TRUE source of irrefutable information........www.coacheshotseat.com

    Friday Herman was at 111.....today.....76

     

    Case Closed   :)

    Yeah, pretty much. How Herman responds this offseason will reveal a lot about his trajectory.

    Now that he's been embarrassed by the staff of our biggest rival and competition for the conference,  pantsed by Patterson, and will probably get exposed by two or more staffs before December, what will he do?

    Will he realize he can't imbue his coaching bros with his genius by sitting next to them in meetings? That simply being in the room with the great Tom Herman doesn't make his douchebag buddies good coaches?  Will he actually hire outside his comfort zone and bring in a couple rockstars who can actually scheme, call plays, and evolve his predictable bullshit? 

    Or will he act like a thin-skinned pussy, double down on this dickless staff, and go into bunker mode a la Mack?

    I'll take Number #2 for the win Alex
