  1. In the video, Sark plainly states that he would rather morph his plan to meet the needs of the players, than coach the player to the needs of the plan. That's exactly what we've been bitching about for years, at least from Mack & co. to present. He will recruit players to his system and if he ends up with other choices, will tailor his system to fit their skill set. Talk about a breath of fresh air.
  2. Thank you very much for posting this, and helping me change my stance on this hire. I hope Sark gets the staff he wants and stays hungry, but this presentation was enlightening and passionate. Hook'em, Sark 🤘
  3. Gee, you don't say? Who could've seen this coming? Funny, you'd think with a last name of "Smart", that he'd...
  4. Rich get richer. For me, at the end of the day, I am ready to get some consistency and identity on both sides of the ball. Not predictability and head scratching personnel moves. I'm sure the players are just as ready. It goes without saying, but you can really tell a lot about a coach and his staff on the first game they play. The basics have to be covered and it has to look like they are prepared and ready for the game. Mack knew this well, and my hope is that Sark does too.
  5. Did Boulware look something like Tom on the cover of Texas Monthly being a “Mastermind”? What an asshole.
  6. Maybe this is just the longest of games? Muschamp comes back to Texas and after Sark has gotten us to the promised land, Muschamp finally takes his HCIW tag off for the gig Brown groomed him for all those years ago. Time is a flat circle <insert>Rust Cole .gif<insert>
  7. Hook ‘em, Sam. 🤘🏼
  8. Adversity does not build character, it reveals it. Keep calm and carry on, pussies. It’s Urban.
  9. Bunch of LDE up in here. Herman Fired. Texas MBB crushes KU @ KU. Urban announced tonight as our new coach.
  10. Happy New Year, Hawaii. We are going to get CUM, need anything else?
  11. He said “like”. Not “EXACTLY” the same as. They do have some similarities in their game. It’s not the worst thing on the board. You’re being very un-dude.
  12. Just dropping in to say, FIGHT! ...and fuck our worthless band/band director for being a bunch of asshats. Beat CU.
  13. He’s molasses slow but catches like his hands have been oiled. Good luck kid.
  14. I’ll be watching the game, but will also be drinking and playing some games with friends. It’s not that it doesn’t mean anything to me and that I’m not going to hurt if they lose the game. I’m just numb to the head-scratching play calls and the seemingly inconsistent personnel groupings. If Bijan gets less than 10 carries, Herman should have to walk home. My love for Texas football is not dependent upon the coach, but my apathy sure as shit is. I realize that there may be extenuating circumstances that I’m not privy to that may prevent me from making an informed decision about the personnel on the field, but why is it that the coaches in the top ten can figure it out? How is it that I’m year four we still don’t have an identity on offense? I’m as Ra-Ra as the next guy but there is a clear fucking issue with coaching this team. I hope they win, and if the worst happens, I also hope Herman is relieved of his duties. Hook’em, and Texas forever!
  15. Holy shit, are we talking about aggy? Because, this is aggy. It's aggy. He's talking about aggy.
  16. This. This is the part they still, ironically, don't understand. We are just a small subset of a much larger group of people, as you call them, "people on the outside looking in", just trying our best to understand the thought process of your enigmatic "traditions" and sad myopic culture, since you can't explain it to anyone. This entire thread is a "wondering why" living document of an anthropological study into the fantastical world of aggy, and all that that entails. Shine on you crazy diamonds.
  17. I went to this game. Most defeated I've ever felt at a game. Ever. Partied hard the night before. Woke up at 6:30a to drive from College Station (gross) to Caldwell to meet up with several other Longhorns. Can't find my keys and my heads pounding from the night before. Where the FUCK are my keys?!? Go downstairs looking all over my 3 other roommates rooms trying to find my keys, then I hear something, outside. I open the side door exposing our long driveway and my truck is still running from the night before, with the driver side door open. Drive to Caldwell in time to meet the group that was trying to leave without me, but alas I make it. We drink the entire trip up to Dallas. Proceed to drink the entire time before walking in the stadium. The Game. It was a sea of burnt orange with 2 fucking sections in that entire stadium that had black and gold. Those two sections were so loud in the quiet stadium. Standing in line to get beers before kickoff and all of the tv's around the stadium are showing the Tennessee v LSU game. All I remember is that big ass Tennessee DL John Henderson crushing shit on his sideline he was so pissed off. Stars were aligning... You know the rest, but I'll never forget sitting in my seat and being asked to leave by 3 different stadium staff before I could get up and walk out. I still have the program and ticket in a file drawer. I thought I would throw it away after the Rose Bowl and VY, but can't seem to let it go. I feel the same disappointment with the possibility of Herman coaching in 2021. Fuck you, Tom. TL:DR - 2001 Big XII Championship game was brutal in person.

    Christmas loot

    The wife, God love her, blows at gifts of all kinds. So I picked out and buy all my present and she wraps them up and puts them under the tree for me. Occasionally, she’ll try and find something but always attaches a gift receipt because... she knows.
  19. This is true, IF, they win the Orange Bowl. If.
  20. We are fucked. Looking around the CFB landscape, Texas is not even an afterthought. We are a middle-of-the-pack-also-ran in a conference that. Y all accounts has one team that rules it all. Texas clearly has been smelling their own bullshit and believing its only a matter of time before all their teams just right the ship because we are Texas and that’s how it works. The game has fucking changed and we are the older guy at the party that doesn’t really get the music that the people are playing but it reminds us of our old days before marriage when we were cool. Not hearing the other people snickering as we bounce around the dance floor. This off-season is humongous for our program and school as a whole. If Herman remains and CDC continues to be bitch-made, we might as well accept our relegation to the Michigan’s and Nebraska’s of the world. A banner is not going to change a thing, and will only stand as continued fodder for our rivals that we are spoiled fans of a school that doesn’t care about their fan base. I’m also at the precipice of my anger, moving quickly into apathy. I have a ton of myself invested in Longhorn sports but will not spend another dime or minute of my time with this current regime. Fuck Tom. Fuck CDC and how he handled the football program and band situation and fuck the president of the school for not putting his foot in their asses to right this ship.
  21. Five star talent vs. Five star culture
  22. My aggy wife and I are surrogate NW fans. As much as I hate aggy and would love to see them left out, fuck the mouth- breathing suckeye team and fans. They are absolute pretenders that will lose the first game if they get in. Justin Fields is also the suck, prove me wrong.
  23. At the end of the day, it's about developing the people you have. Please for the love of God, can we just develop the kids that want to be Longhorns? 5 stars don't mean shit, if you can't develop the talent.
