  1. Wouldn't be surprised to see Herman try to go scorched earth on his way out, ala Mack. Fortunately it won't make a shit if we have Urban.
  2. Urban would've publicly announced he wasn't interested by now if it wasn't happening. Our decade-long nightmare is about to be over.
  3. He feels it in his gut though. That has to count for something, right?
  4. We all assume this will be a short term fix because of Meyer's age and health concerns, but Saban was about the same age when he took the Bama job. Granted, Saban might not even be human.
  5. 2:05
  6. I take it this means Urban is in the bag..
  7. Nice straw man. When Mack still gave a shit, obviously.
  8. Sure they should have. They would've faced the same fate as OU though. Winning this shitty conference shouldn't be the ultimate goal.
  9. Aside from the 2018 class, neither of them have recruited at the level Mack did.
  10. I respect what he's done at Northwestern, but he strikes me as the type of coach who'll recruit 3 star "diamonds in the rough" that fit his culture. That's not the recipe for success at Texas. Never has been. It's the same reason I'm hesitant about Campbell. We need someone who can lock down the state and leverage every advantage Texas has.
  11. They know their Texas pipeline would dry up real quick if Urban comes here.
  12. Damn there really is no one else. Fickell or Campbell? For the love of God Urban, save us.
  13. That team had a receiving corps of LJH, Collin Johnson, and Devin Duvernay as the third option.
  14. Fair points, I just don't feel that much vitriol. Most coaches are assholes, and pretty much all of them get defensive when criticized. The first part of your post is all I really care about. I do think the culture has improved since we don't get blown out like we did under Charlie/late Mack, but the overall product on the field has obviously been a disappointment.
  15. Agreed. The personal attacks towards Herman look like nothing more than emotional outbursts from an angry mob. And I too am all for bringing in Urban.
  16. Maybe we can steal some low 3 star from Miami-Ohio. That'll show 'em.
  17. None of that shit would matter if we were winning. Most people here loved the Mizzou thing at the time because we were kicking their ass.
  18. Nothing. First it was all Texas/the Big 12's fault. Now it's all the B1G's fault. Bitching and whining is all they can do to avoid facing the reality that everyone (including them) plainly sees: they'll never be back.
  19. Is there a more lopsided "rivalry" in all of CFB?
  20. Holy shit Ohio State owns our ass. We're scrapping with Baylor, TCU, and Tech for sloppy seconds in our own fucking state. Inexcusable.
  21. I'm willing to bet recruits place more importance on winning championships and going to the NFL than what some random alumni (i.e. you) tell them. We all know your stance--you enjoy the smell of your own farts more than winning. That's all you have to say. But to imply that hiring UM will somehow hurt the football program just makes you look like a complete fucking idiot.
  22. Yeah, just look at Ohio State. Their reputation is forever ruined. Now they just cherry-pick recruits from Texas and make the playoffs every year. The horror!
  23. Urban Meyer is not Tom Herman. He actually wins. A lot. Everywhere he goes, in fact. But you already knew that... I think. Anyway, will you leave the board and never return after we hire Urban?
  24. The CFB landscape is ever changing. No one would've predicted Clemson would be a powerhouse 10 years ago. Historically, they were basically an Arkansas level program, so a lot can change. If the population continues to shift south and west, a team like Arizona State (just throwing them out there as an example) could become a contender. Oregon already is one. And as much as we hate to say it, aggie has the resources (which has always been the case, and they've always managed to aggie it up). Michigan and Penn State are both within proximity of several major (but shrinking) population centers, and they have big followings on the east coast. They still have a chance, but it's a more difficult path. I will agree that Nebraska is done; no one outside of flyover country gives a fuck about them.
  25. I think if you let him lock himself in a dark room and just focus on X's and O's he could still be a great OC. It's hard to fathom that he's forgotten everything he ever knew about football. And it seems like the type of hire Saban would make.
