  1. Same here. I think Cook could be at worst another DevDuv and I'm ecstatic about that.
    ...but it doesn't change that he wasn't exactly a regular performer this year. 7 for 124 and zeroes in all the other statistical categories. I want Ewers back next year. I think we're a clear top 5-6 contender with him and a marginal to 7-12 contender without him. It just seems like the calculus on his side is that it's in his best interest to go to the NFL this year.

    So Cook

    could be

    AT WORST

    a Devin Duvernay?

    Another lawyer, indeed. His last year, Duvernay had zero drops, had speed to burn, and ran excellent routes. I’d take Duvernay over Worthy without hesitation and believe he’s our best wide receiver since Shipley.

  2. Look back at my posts before the season started.  I expected 4-5 wins and yes, it was a success vs. 2022.  But now they've got to go out and win 6+ next year.  

    But thats not the trajectory. He whiffed on OC and demoted him, despite not having a suitable offensive line personnel. Its not just a massive red flag, it will make it more difficult to hire coaches in the future. And Ive seen Deion rip coaches during games. Maybe if you’re Saban you can get away with that shit, but its counterproductive for leaders to undermine their coaches.

    I dont think 6 wins is in the cards next year. Big12 may not always be the premier conference, but there’s some good coaching staffs.

  3. It's easy to point and laugh. Coach prime shit on the players he inherited telling them to get into the portal, shit on his current players when things went south and completely collapsed after all the hype with a 3-1 start. Now the fallout is beginning. Commits are looking elsewhere, players will begin entering the portal and it'll be interesting to see how Colorado fares next year. I'd suspect they'll finish with a worse record in 2024. 4-8 is better than 1-11, but with all the hype and Deion's smug attitude it was easy to gloat over their collapse and shit season.

    Firing (demoting but he wont be back) the coach in year one is a huge red flag I doubt he’ll recover from. Not unlike Herman and Strong who whiffed at key hires. You picked them, they couldn’t overcome holes in the roster, got fired, then got the coach fired.
  4. This is what the KSU president, Jon Wefald, stated in 1999:
    "Indeed, this coming Saturday, we are the underdog to the University of Texas. Outside of Texas, very few people cheer for the Longhorns because the University of Texas represents in most people's minds incredible wealth and arrogance. Many Texans believe that the world begins and ends with Texas."
    I didn’t think much of it at the time, but I think this really captures what the Big 8 schools thought, and I think this is the Big XII office’s attitude 

    We proved them wrong in the “Apple turnover” game.
  5. Open carry.  Completely legal, no questions asked.  Then, on the other hand, we want people to “harden” our schools.  If only there were another solution…..
     

    Saw the comments. People saying he had the right to open carry like that. Look like he’s in firing position (not slung over his back). I could see someone capping his ass in self defense. What am I missing?

  6. If you want to fix the healthcare finance system in this country (or this state), you have to tackle the cost drivers of healthcare spending. Hospital systems and pharma. That’s where the profit margins are. Physician services makes up another big chunk of the spending, but the margins there don’t have much fat once you parse out the imaging and diagnostics. 

    Urban (community) and rural hospitals are struggling. Surgical centers and speciality hospitals are doing well. And Pharm are flush with cash and help direct public policy.

    One thing Texas could do today to help hospitals is expand Medicaid.

  7. What does Lowell have to do with gameday atmosphere? You're losing it brother....game atmosphere is best its been likely ever and you're wanting it to be reverted.....eat shit loser.

    Im calling you Lowell because he’s a wannabe douche

    I dont want to revert, thats one of your strawman arguments

    We now have alcohol sales, students and band together, and a good product on the field. That’s 90% of what you need and you build around it and provide football fans with college football experience that you cant get anywhere else

    Lowell, get a grip. Maybe Yellow Rose will hire you or you can start a podcast.
  8. Seems like Rod Babers and Drew Kelson disagree with you. Take your shit opinion to the nursing home grandpa. 

    Lowell, what will you do now that LHN is closing? You wont be happy until “ouch, my balls!” plays on repeat at 120 dbs for the entire game in case non-football fans get bored.

  9. I'll take opposing teams players saying DKR is tough vs whatever we had in the mid 00s where everyone thought our environment was soft and quiet.

    Sure.

    Taylor Swift concerts are loud as fuck as well. But if in Taylor Swift concerts they started to do things to attract Dads and Grandpas and Heavy Metal fans, it would detract from her music and alienate Taylor Swift fans.

    Listen, I’ve specified specific elements that work well now and specific elements that dont. You are defensive of any criticism. Its weird.

  10. we were winning games mid 00s and it was never as consistent and good as it is now........even last year when we weren't 11-1 was better.

    Agree to disagree swifty, but certainly there were problems with Bellmont that most people dont want to see again.

    When you go to a game and the crowd is into it, and you get a 5-minute Texas Fight and a loud crowd, without Stripper DJ yelling as the ball is snapped, you’ll get it.

    There are good things going on and bad things. And fluff.

  11. Sorry you hate the best atmosphere DKR has had in a long time if not best atmosphere ever. But hey let’s make DKR a quiet easy place to play for opponents that has no fan engagement. 

    Could it be the winning games enhances fan engagement? We have students and band in place, we serve alcohol by the boatloads, we have infinite resources. Everything’s in place to offer a badass college football experience.

    You come on this football board and want to turn a college football game into a Taylor Swift concert. Fuck that shit.

    College football games cant be all things to all people. Cater to students and college football fans and offer a place for alumni to come together.

    >Refs

    Year in review: I think the focus needs to be on the game. Saw one poster comment about how all the lights and shit have made it better for kids and bored wives. I disagree. This is college football. Authentic experiences cant be prepackaged.

    I can guarantee there’d be a better game environment with a focus on football, students, UT, and spirit groups. Everything should be complimentary and not distracting, overproduced or deafening.
