  1. I’m sorry but that’s extremely short sighted. It’s rare for an interim coach to do better than the person he replaced, history is firmly behind that. You’re already paying the guy, and whoever you hire to replace him is extremely unlikely (read, absolutely not going to) come in to coach for the Baylor game, so just get as much out of him as you can knowing it’s not going to be great, prepare your pitch and initiate conversations where possible with the replacement, and bite the bullet for the remainder of the year.
  2. It will be interesting to see how we find our other two or three losses this year. Will it be from the same old shit? Or will new cracks emerge as his control over the team erodes to none? Tune in each week to find out.
  3. Looked like a completely different team. Looked like they were having fun for the first time in a long time. Jags are not good, but progress is progress.
  4. At some point, your defense has to stop giving up 1.75 games worth of yards and points to unranked teams.
  5. Urban, as a part of your deal, you are free to come and burn Tom’s house to the ground with his furniture and personal effects still inside.
  6. Goodbye, Tom, you will not be missed.
  7. Our DB makes a poor leg tackle 17 yards down the field and gets up and flexes. First down OU. Pretty much sums us up.
  8. Hullabaloo caneck caneck
  9. Jose Urquidy has thrown 14.1 playoff innings, with a 1.26 ERA and 15/4 K-BB split. Lets fucking go.
  10. Fuck that. Bring them both on.
  11. In the playoffs reliability is king. Attaboy Framber. Dude is on top of the world right now. Now let’s make it official on the stat sheet.
  12. Fortunately, with Deshawn, we don’t ever necessarily need to ‘rebuild’. We should be good with him and someone who actually knows how to use him, and improving as we go from a personnel look.
  13. I would join in on trade/draft pick talk but if we can hire a competent GM that should work itself out. We really haven’t had a top-level GM since the franchise coined, you figure at some point the math says it’ll probably happen.
  14. If you besmirch The Dream I will find you and kill you. Right, now that that’s behind us, I strangely feel better with Framber on the mound today. LMJ is more dangerous when his stuff is on, but FV has been very consistent and in the playoffs reliability is king. A’s will not go quietly.
  15. Smashed em. Even amidst slumps our lineup is rowdy. If this things comes together... look the fuck out.
  16. You included Venables...?...
  17. This is all that matters, now.
  18. BoB has given some tremendously tonedeaf statements in his time here, but this will be his pièce de résistance. He could coach here ten more years and never top this one...
  19. Narrator: Except it wasn’t a catch
