The backpack thing is silly.  

As is pushing in the "all in" poker chips.  Next he'll "bury" mistakes a la Al Conover at Rice in 1973-74, who literally had players write their fuckups on pieces of paper and put them in a real casket, which was really buried.  He didn't want them wallowing in negativity over losses and past ineptitude.

Haven’t seen it discussed, but in the 1st Quarter Mitchell got dinged up and they stopped play for like 5 minutes.   Then they restarted play but had to stop it again to tell him he had to sit a snap.  So we have an actual LB coach who is responsible for 2 fucking guys and he does what exactly?   Doesn’t know the rules or can’t keep tabs on 50% of his position group?   
 

And Mensa needed to focus more on the big picture and do more HC things.  This entire fucking staff sucks balls.

The backpack thing is silly.  I was there and didn't give a shit, and the Mizzou alum I was with didn't either.  That is fodder for internet trolls and leading up to that game they dug up some comment made by Dodds (which was funny because he was 2 ADs ago) for motivation.   The Mizzou alum agreed with the quote.  

After Brazil Horn's post about seeking a tough-guy first who relaxes as a better strategy, I think our next HC should be an Italian convict.  Maybe one of those Playing for Pizza type coaches.

I’m not saying seek tough guy first. I’m saying that if you’ve been soft all of the time that suddenly trying to be hard doesn’t work. 

IMO set high standards and bench/fire people (players and coaches alike) that don’t live up to them. (A la Saban ) vs Herman’s approach to personnel and staff mgmt.

Having high standards doesn’t mean you are doing stupid shit like having different dinners for players or “punishing” players for penalties. Herman doesn’t get it

Surly gonna be surly. Y'all are so spoiled sometimes. I mean yeah the major 2 sports kind of suck dick at UT right now but beyond that Texas is still pretty damn elite athletically. Tennis won recently, golf almost did, w volleyball hasn't in, what, 7 years? but is trending in that direction again. W's basketball is about to fuck.

The bad baseball teams at Texas are still good compared to most schools. Track and women's soccer are good too, right?

Fucking internet.

I heard something but not going to say, but I sure as fuck am going to tell everyone I heard something!

You're missing the point.  If something does happen, I get to say I told you so, if something doesn't happen I get to say I told you so.  #winning.

IDK if he's been right about anything.  He used to post at OB and was always either throwing shit against the wall or passing the 9,95 fats information as his own

I'd like to think he's CTJ's less-informed alter ego, like when Gerald in South Park gets online at the end of the day with his glass of wine to troll people.

Not the organization's fault that Texas HS football hasn't turned up one Longhorn worthy center in 4 years.

I know, right? It's weird how a gigantic state as football as a religion can't seem to produce a single good center. I feel for our coaches. Must be hard, you know, like winning?
