  1. Other than the obvious choices, like Akina, who is a likely replacement? Mike Mickens already did the "staying home" tweet.
  2. Indianapolis is decent. The shrimp cocktail at St. Elmo’s is legendary.
  3. I mean - I'm still pretty impressed that a guy who bears an unsettling resemblance to Sid the Sloth and is unlikely to make the NFL was able to pull one of these girls:
  4. I will happily take a RB who consistently gets 4 or 5 yards per attempt.
  5. Dude is dressed like a middle-aged dad going to get the newspaper without his bathrobe on. Just replace the baton with a cup of coffee.
  6. Apropos of nothing, but I remember the b-side of Pinball Wizard was a kickass instrumental that I ended up liking more than the a-side.
  7. All of that information won't disabuse me of my skepticism for anyone who willingly worked in a town called "Piss Cat Away"
  8. Goddamn you motherfuckers will argue about anything. Why are we wasting time arguing about whether Choice was a good coach and recruiter? Is this is a real conversation? He was obviously excellent in both roles. Anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant, stupid, or trolling. Stop wasting time on this shit. Not trying to take a shot at @Bodacious Bevo or @NoName and I appreciate the info. But I am flummoxed that we've spent the last 4 pages responding to one of the dumbest takes I've ever read on this board.
  9. I've been making peace with the loss this afternoon. Sark is going to hire a low-level staffer from the NFL or an OC from an FCS school in the southeast and we'll all complain and ask "who the fuck is this guy" and then he'll turn out to be awesome. Whoever we get won't be as good as Choice but he'll still be good. We just gotta suffer through the uncertainty and all the sturm und drang threads that will eventually overrun the board. At this point, I just hope can keep my pants pissing to myself and not be part of the problem.
  10. That just means we're bleeding talent and will suck next year ya stupid sip
  11. Mike Hart would be a good hire, but I doubt he leaves his alma mater.
  12. I was one of those folks. I stand by what I said about Anwar, even a blind dog finds a bone sometimes. And I'm still from Missouri on this hire. But I also didn't like the Baker hire (or at least didn't understand it), so take that for what it's worth. But I just can't shake the feeling that we could have done better given who we are and what we have to offer. Sark / PK know better than me, though, and I'm happy to be wrong again. But I would like for us to poach a home run hire at some point, rather than raising someone from obscurity based on potential. Whoever we get to replace Choice will be a step down, but maybe we can get someone with a proven history and skins on the wall? It doesn't need to be a Frank Wilson or a Tony Alford, but someone at that level would be nice.
  13. I know, but I can still be upset about it.
  14. Good Player / Average Player / Bad Player Loved Bijan Ehlinger Swoopes Divided Simms Applewhite Kai Money Hated E. Acho Hager B.J. Foster Notes: I tried to limit selections to the beginning of Mack Brown's tenure or later. There are too many players going too far back otherwise. There are hundreds of choices for the "good player / loved by fans" spot. Colt, VY, Ricky, Ced Griffin, DJ, etc. etc. etc. I just picked Bijan because he's the most recent favorite. It's hard to find an actual bad player who is loved by fans, and hard to find a good player who is hated by fans. I loved Acho while he was at Texas, but have really lost any affection I had for him during his broadcasting career. With Swoopes, I actually think he was a good athlete but a bad QB. He stepped up for us and played out of position, and I love him for that. But he was not a good QB.
  15. Crazy that the best superbowl performance by a WR in 25 years was for the losing team in an absolute blowout. Surely you're aware of the running joke about Ojomo being young.
  16. I'm probably being pessimistic, but I doubt we pull Mickens from ND. They seem to really like him and can pay. And do we really want Orphey from Rutgers? The Rutgers defense was in the bottom half of FBS and their passing defense was equally uninspiring. I don't have any greater context or insight than that, but I just don't see why we would want the guy. I appreciate the Choate connection point out by @Hookem2147, but Choate doesn't work here anymore. I just don't see compelling reasons for hiring the guy, although I'm more than happy to be set straight. That makes me think that out of the three guys listed by Anwar (who probably knows less than dick), Sanders seems the most likely. Narduzzi knows ball and coaches a good defense, and this guy has moved up the ranks. And I don't think Pitt has enough money to spend keeping him even if they like the guy. So he could be a real possibility. All of that being said - I don't see this guy having any connection to Texas, the South, or even the NFL. I would expect one of those three things in whoever we hire, for recruiting purposes if nothing else. So I come back around to Anwar being dumb as dirt and full of shit to boot. I doubt any of these three are really on our short list. At best, Mickens is looking for a raise and Sanders is being kept warm as an emergency option.
