Herman has had two mentors, both having won national championships, that have told him the absolute number one thing that he needs to do is avoid doing everything in the HC job because it’s burns you out. He’s still learning on the job and if he had won the last 2 one score games vs OU the talk would be about Riley and his gadget program vs Herman and serious football, that will be in the 2023 threads. I know 2019 wasn’t what we wanted to see but the gnashing of teeth over Herman has gone to extremes, and it’s a bit like BAS because it’s really OU focused. was 2019 a complete failure? Yep. Did Herman leave it alone or did he hire one of the best OCs in CFB and a DC who won a National title the last time they were coaching together? All I read during the last season was everyone claiming that Herman was a fucking blockheaded narcissist that won’t change a goddamn thing with his staff. He always thinks he’s right yada yada ... then he did exactly the opposite. Oh I know, and you can try to hate on the Ash hire and his Hermanbro status but before you do go back and watch the Utah game and see what our defense looked like with only a few changes toward the simple (remember I said before 2019 that Naivar would be an upgrade at DC) and put that against the shitty one score losses we suffered in 2019 with Orlando’s bumblefucking. Anyone think Ash won’t be, at a minimum, better than Naivar would’ve been this year and markedly better than Orlando was in 2019? I think he’s going to be more than marginally better, there will significant improvements, but I understand any trepidation. Yurcich is a huge upgrade and anyone saying otherwise is being disingenuous. I know all of this has been beaten to death so instead of leaving it alone I’ll throw some fucking gas on the fire and turn this shit up ... I think Texas is closer to winning a national title than OU, despite their multiple Heisman winners and recent playoff appearances. OU is completely uncompetitive in games where their talent mismatch is nullified because they have systemic issues. There’s lots of praise for Riley addressing the Sooner issues on defense by hiring Grinch, but dig deeper on that decision, it speaks to my point. They are installing Grinch’s SpeedD and recruiting toward it, so let’s see — a team that’s been bitchfucked and bullied over and over, that has tackled like shit — is going to address those glaring issues by getting a lot smaller across the board — esp on the DL? How do you think that’s going to play out vs Bama, LSU, tOSU, and Clemson? Not only are they getting way smaller on the DL they are doing it in concert with Bennie Wylie as S&C coach. They are doing it while not restocking the defensive roster well. They only have 38 scholarship players on defense and still their classes are overloaded with offense. Riley wants one thing from Grinch’s D - to be disruptive so that he can get his offense back on the field. Period. Because that’s all Riley cares about. The offense. Does anyone think they are going to have markedly better QB play than they have the past 4 years? WR? OL? They are already elite and are completely out of games by the 2nd qtr in the playoffs. Really, it’s not just the playoffs, OU has had a huge talent (and almost as important, depth) advantage in the Big XII and still ended up in six one score games last season despite the fucking historically elite offense. Kudos to Riley for winning those games — Herman didn’t and that’s a BIG fucking problem — but the question of why the Sooners were even in one score games remains. The further they get from Stoops evals and Schmidt’s S&C the further they get from fielding a capable defense. I don’t think 2020 will see a drastic drop — they return all five OL, etc so they will still apply a ton of pressure to opposing teams via quick scores but the systemic issues reveal themselves over time. If you look at their D classes from 2018 going forward (compare them with Stoops classes that are fading away) and then project these classes forward under Bennie Wylie ... maybe I’m wrong but I don’t see them addressing the unsmooth buttfuckings they’ve received. Do I believe in Herman? I’m not sure yet. I do know that I believe in him/his staff’s ability to identify talent. Very much so. I think the only comparable staffs are Utah and Clemson in that regard. I do believe in the offensive system (power running game with a mobile QB vertical passing attack — hellooooooo Yurcich) and I believe in his commitment to competitiveness, even if it’s often hokey or cheesy. I do believe in Yancey and his staff. I don’t think Texas would be humiliated in the playoffs under Herman. commence flames, goddamn football board posters, and mockery. you’re welcome for the march to 1,000.

I'm tired. I'm tired of the killings of unarmed Black people. I'm tired of Black people getting the cops called on them for doing normal shit like bird watching. I'm tired of wondering if I, a Black man who owns a home, need to call the police will they automatically shoot me on site because of my skin and not realize I own the damn house? I'm tired of certain people getting mad at football players kneeling for police injustice yet those same people are mad at Black people rebelling because they've had enough. I'm just...tired. There are many awesome parts about America and being and American, and I'm proud of that. But if you aren't Black, I can't tell you how difficult it is to be a Black American. I know what my grandmothers (may they rest in peach) went through during the 50s and 60s. I wonder if what is happening now is similar or if that's too harsh of a comparison. I remember asking a White poster on Hornfans if he would ever wish that he could change and let me be White and him Black for a week, and of course his response was "no way." And pretty much all White people will say that because it's hard yall. It's difficult. It's frustrating. It's tiring. I've stayed out of the recent threads with the recent killings of Black people by police, the Bird lady, and others because there's just nothing really I can say. This recent killing feels different, especially because I'm seeing all of the tweets by White athletes (just saw one by Joe Burrow and Carson Wentz) along with White celebs that I feel would haven't been posted during a killing like this a few years ago. At least I don't remember it. I'm just rambling now, and I'm fully aware that posters like Brother Horn probably do not feel the same way. After all, everyone has a different Frame of Reference. But for a large, large, large, large, large majority of Black Americans, I think I can speak for us/them when I said--we're tired.

russia is the porn. australia, india, and south korea are all the other things you buy at the convenient store to make it seem like you're not a fucking perv.

Just returned from the Austin protests. I must say the police were civil. They allowed people to scream Fuck the Police right in their faces on the steps of APD hq. Then they blocked off the upper deck of 35 while we marched across. Things may have changed since I left, but it was an incredible experience I'll never forget.

Here are some of my photos from protests in Houston tonight. The cops did their best to divide and disperse the crowd. I saw a couple of arrests, but not sure the context. I have never been in the middle of something like this, so it was very interesting. Hard to shoot because it was dusk/night.

seeing trump watch the launch just reminded me of what a fucking simpleton he is, and i really wish people would stop dissecting things he does like he's got some sort of strategy. he's a child. he wanted to go watch the launch because it's a spaceship. he posted the looting/shooting quote because he thought it sounded cool and it rhymed. i don't think his reptile brain is sophisticated enough to know it originally came from a racist police chief from the 60's. i don't even consider him a run-of-the-mill racist, he just despises anyone who keeps him from getting what he wants - white, black, brown, yellow, or green. he sees everyone as beneath him and i'm not convinced he'd treat poor black people worse than poor white people who were in his way. that would take some strategic targeted thought and i don't think he has the capacity. he talked about the secret service protecting the white house just like all young boys do when they're building a fort and they're 9 years old. he calls out everybody and complains when people are mean to him. he doesn't care about the protests, the riots, the virus, or racism. he cares about trashing the media, twitter, and calling every democrat a "radical" because he thinks it'll help him win, and derogatory nicknames are how 9 year-olds deal with their insecurity. he prioritizes things that are important to him, because when you are immature, there is no difference between things that are important to you and things that are just important. that chess quote was right. he's always just eating the pieces.

It's what I used to do... Getting two vehicles moving that fast to be together at the same place at essentially 0.1 fps difference in velocity is a true orbital ballet.

Funny. I thought Obama was one of our finest. He’s the only president I truly loved. No scandals, tried to change the course of the American experiment with health care, risked everything for it and then was stonewalled for 6 years. He was inclusive, the first president in our lifetimes to really embrace the plurality of our society and culture and everyone who had been forced into the shadows was told it was safe to come out. And now those who didn’t want blacks, browns, gays, trannies, women, immigrants, Jews, Muslims and others like these to lay hold of the American dream have been on a tirade for 4 years. That’s not to say these issues didn’t already exist. Anyway, I have no real interest in being political here but spending the time on this thread to make it clear you think the first black president was shitty - excuse me, incredibly shitty - especially when he is widely loved and adored by the minority and non-white of our society - wasn’t really necessary.

More beautiful video of people helping to cleanup after the destruction last night in Minneapolis: black, white, Hispanic, Asian, and others, working side by side in solidarity of commmunity. That’s the America I know and love.

It's always been this way. But trump added fuel to the fire. Both by pissing on minorities every day and emboldening cops. Here's a pic that was posted on my local PD's PBA facebook page shortly after the election.

Did y'all just touch penises?

Paddy wagon? This is how we talk in 2020? The preferred term is Irishx.

This is just sad and gut wrenching: CHIEF

This whole page is jokes.

So, to catch everyone up: We’re in the midst of a pandemic that has killed 100k Americans. We are in an economic depression. Millions of people are unemployed with no near term prospects. The country is on fire. And we are led by a man who traffics in lies, conspiracy theories, and casually slings around racist rhetoric on Twitter...while offering literally ZERO leadership or calming presence, so we know that none of those things will get any better. In fact, recent history tells us that things will certainly get worse. Much worse. Can we mourn the death of the republic yet, or is the ledge still an overreaction?

This dumb son of a bitch wants to see the whole country burned down and he's doing the job of Russia and China for them. Fuck this traitorous piece of shit. He is a coward of the highest order and is the absolute worst human being to ever hold the title of President of the United States. Any other president gets out in front of this and addresses the nation immediately during something of this magnitude that is spreading across the country. This clownshow is more interesting in his twitter censor than people rioting and protesting. Fuck every last one of you that voted for this narcissistic coward. And double fuck the guys on here who were waiting for this moment. We're going to see some emboldened white supremacists start trying to get out there and begin shooting people while our fatass president gets in a twitter spat with the president of the Congo.

The blue line needs to be abolished. That will be the first step in the right direction. The whole protect a cop just because they are a cop no matter what happened is bullshit and that whole corrupt mentality needs to die. Until it does, nothing changes.

Tears streaming down my face. We fucking did it. Government commercial military contractor. Congrats everyone. Fuck what a rush all systems looking fucking awesome

Are you sure the report wasn’t South Austin’s mom getting pecker sprayed?

Not gonna lie. I cheered, I teared up, and I thought about my dad. He loved this stuff.

I sometimes feel when I hear other white people say "I don't see color" that they also are meaning they ignore what people of other colors are going through. That we're all equal in their eyes so we should have a shared experience by now. We are heavily myopic creatures. We view the world through mostly are own world view. We don't fully understand and empathize what it's like to be a black man or woman in America because we will never have to live a day in their skin. We rarely have to worry about something happening when a cop flashes his lights at us. We rarely have to worry about walking in our neighborhoods or other neighborhoods without someone looking at us with suspicion and if a police officer will be along shortly to "check us out" at the urging of a white resident. We don't have to worry about walking down the street and having others move to the other side or a woman to clutch her purse in our presence. We don't have to worry about being in a park and having a woman try to weaponise the police against us for a minor dispute. So until we realize it is fundamentally different to be a black person in America, nothing will change. Yeah, we can have our kids grow up to be color blind. But we can also stop ignoring the systemic racism inherent in not only our economy, housing, job opportunities, and systems of government. We can stop ignoring the inherent racism in ourselves. We need more empathy in this world. Then we need to use that empathy to make this world fair for everyone.

Trump is a monster. He should resign along with every republican in office that enabled and supported him.

I can't stress this enough. It has nothing to do with Trump. It has not been "brewing a while". The kettle has been overflowing for 50+ years. Rotten cops do not suddenly feel empowered because of Trump. They feel empowered because they have a corrupt police union which is strong and which protects them at all times, with the help of a legal and local political system that will protect cops at the expense of average citizens. And they can't "get away with a lot more shit" as of 2016. LISTEN CAREFULLY. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THIS WAY. It's important to know this, if there is any hope to fix it.

You're coming at the problem backwards. You're saying they have all the power so we've got to get them to use it responsibly. That's not going to happen. How about we take the power away? Start by getting rid of Citizens United and enacting comprehensive campaign finance reform. Get the lobbyists out of the government agencies that regulate the industries they represent. Get rid of ALEC, stop letting the corporations write the laws. Start trust busting again. I could go on about taxation and wages and executive compensation and solving the wealth gap but I don't have any firm ideas on a solution and to suggest anything would probably just open me up to criticism. So I'll just end it here. But I think there are solutions to be found relating to those things. But it should all start with getting money out of politics. Corporations are NOT people and money isn't speech.

To me this is no different than saying the media is the enemy of the people.

So, it looks like this, now?

Jaegerschnitzel over home fries.

😊 I understand exactly what you are saying, Pancho. I have felt that way plenty of times in my life. I have friends and family who still feel that way. We all understand the burdens of being black and the struggles that come with it. I just choose to fight my battles on a different path. I personally feel like it would be a disservice to my forebearers if I did not recognize the changes that have been made. My trivial brushes with racism are not comparable. That doesn't mean everything is right or that it ever will be. I love America, but she's rarely been good to her people. You fight for what you love though. I don't have any fallacies about who I am, what some people will always see me as or where I come from. And wouldn't want to be anything else than what I am. In my mid 30's I had probably been stopped/questioned by the police more times than years I had been alive. I know what's like to be on the side of the highway with a couple of good ole boys asking you the same question 10 times. Hoping that the worse thing you get is arrested. No doubt you speak for a large, large, large majority of Black Americans. But some of us are just sick and tired of being sick and tired. So we just chose a different path. No more bullshit from anyone, anytime, anywhere. @USMCHorn Think about the WWII vets who begged for a chance to fight and show their patriotism. Only to be rewarded with Jim Crow and shit like that.

Go fuck yourself

"They should just protest peacefully so we can ignore them completely like always." - White America, confused and scared

Texas Aggies? Okay Abbott.

I think we need to go back to cops walking with sticks. And nothing else.

There are people who, strange as it may seem to you, did not like Obama because of his policies. Plenty of people treated W like garbage, illegitimate and a threat to them also. There is going to be a third of the country that hates the president regardless due to the R or D by their name.

Beautiful. God bless America. I’m tearing up a bit. Fuck the haters of the greatest country on earth.

San Antonio might be the best city in Texas. Low key. Got dallas and Houston in a constant pissing match over who has the best strip malls. Austin trying to out hipster everyone in the country. San Antonio just hanging out being the same city for the past 200 years. Maybe El Paso is in the conversation...sitting on the sidelines thinking to itself “look at these fucking retards”.

Just stopping by to say fuck the pigs. I hope that morherfucker gets raped with a shank in the shower. I hope the pigs beating on people at the Houston protests get Covid-19. ACAB. Neg me you fucking cop lapdogs.
