  1. I'm talking about specifically this year's roster. Big spend, obvious problems (like the OL) with the roster. Don't have such thin skin.
  2. It was a whole thing and he was openly calling for Kirby Hocutt's job as well. This was all being discussed, with Cody also posting a LOT and defending himself, in real time at the time on the Tech Rivals (now On3) board. It got so bad that no one in the athletic department would speak to him, and even after Wells got fired it didn't get any better for a while. He was even pushing for fucking Art Briles to be hired for a period of time before we settled on Joey. It seems that at some point he had a come to Jesus moment and someone (probably one of the other mega donors, I'm guessing Dusty Womble) told him to cut the shit, get his ego in control and start working with everyone instead of trying to throw his weight around by harassing the AD and shitposting on a message board. Obviously those bridges have since been mended since he's the chair of the board of regents now and works closely with the athletic department, but holy shit he was intolerable for a few years. It's not all that surprising, people that become nouveau riche and don't know what to do with themselves often become the most insufferable dickheads, at least for a period of time.
  3. I have to imagine his wife was not very happy about this. Usually a fan of Burr, but this was a bad move for him and very disappointing.
  4. I'm chuckling because Cody Campbell literally did this exact thing, before Matt Wells was hired. I'm glad he pulled his head out of his ass and decided to work with everyone, because his ego was absolutely out of control, to the point of being blacklisted by the AD at one point.
  5. No it's just a dumbass argument to have. Who here is calling people cis het, ever?
  6. Understood. What's the latest on the coaching search?
  7. Yeah, I get you. I want this for Okie State as well (and in basketball), the conference is more fun when y'all are good.
  8. This is just not true, man. Look at how much Texas has spent. Not trying to talk shit here, UT fans, y'all are just the most pertinent example right now. Like yes, obviously paying a premium for top talent is important, but it's only one piece of the puzzle. Talent evaluation, roster construction and cohesion are extremely critical and Tech seems to have hit on all 3. We identified the holes in our roster and filled pretty much all of them with very good players, by all reports there are zero locker room issues and this team really enjoys playing with each other. No one's ego is getting in the way. For all the flak Joey McGuire gets around here, and I certainly have had a number of issues with him (mainly focus and discipline, penalties continue to be a problem at times), the one thing he is really good at is getting all of his players to buy in and put the team ahead of themselves. Everything you hear out of the program is team, team, team. None of that happens simply by throwing money at the problem.
  9. Agreed. I've never liked the bevel.
  10. Oh cool we're doing this again Please smash your fingers with a hammer so we don't have to have this inane discussion again
  11. He's also facing significant pressure from all the ultranationalist freaks in his government like Smotrich and Ben-Gvir. Accepting Trump's plan runs a real risk of him losing power sooner rather than later.
  12. Would you call him the Uncle Tommest?
  13. Again, I'll believe it when I see it come to fruition. Bibi thinks he controls Trump/the US government.
  14. What's the word on Mateer's hand? I heard some dumbass rumor about him quitting football but that seems unsubstantiated.
  15. Is this dude related to Robert Lea Wilson
  16. Tech media department does a great job on these. Using a Chamillionaire track is a pretty great sneak diss at UH
  17. It's CNN, his message is basically their message.
  18. That dude is the most UCLA looking mfer alive
  19. I'd have more than a few misgivings about straight up ripping off an entire fanbase in the process, making people question my entire legacy, and emanating nuclear levels of cringe out into the universe in the process but you do you king
