I think this guy exactly characterizes our offense under Herman/Beck so far.

USC is terrible against the run. Beck will know this. However, he will also know that USC knows their own weakness and he will anticipate that USC will load the box to cover their weakness, thus leaving the pass less well-defended. So we will come in committed to the pass and then abandon the run game entirely once we inevitably fall behind. Our defense will be ok for a bit and then inexplicably suffer a few break downs. Either that our we'll open the game letting them score on the first three drives before tightening things up. That's just the way we roll... Poor planning and execution on offense and a few key lapses on defense.

It’s gonna be a long season

Don't think he ever actually committed to Texas.

I don't think it was dirty like he wanted to injure him or anything, but it was overly aggressive and a dumb play by GJ that was a legitimate penalty. All GJ had to do was touch him as he slid. He definitely extended into the Maryland QB with his legs. In this day and age with the rules being what they are, defenders have to be pretty dumb to hit a sliding QB.

I voted yes because the question was phrased using the word "can". Had it been "will" I would have selected the wait and see option. I think he will need to make some coaching changes (OC and the various position coaches), figure out personnel selection during games, and find a QB. Those are three big things to do and I doubt that they can or would happen this year, but I think things will get better and we will probably win some games that no one expects us to. The O line pass protection was better and I am not sure there is a position on offense that isn't better than last year (although last years offense was bad, so its not saying much). I think the defense is slightly worse. The rest of the big 12 got worse this year too, with most of the big name senior QBs moving on (that also happened at USC).

He was an excellent hugger.

What RB is that? NM - Ingram

The ESPN headline says “Herman: Happy to talk strip club visit with NCAA”. Sounds like it was a legendary night.

First crystal ball

Well, evidently he follows Brian Davis, so its not surprising.

He converted two pairs of truck nuts into earrings.

So, to sum up: 1. Despite being a self-proclaimed national powerhouse blue-blood program, Aggy can't accomplish anything in the Big 12 due to the meddling of Texas 2. After years of losing, they then decide to leave for the SEC where they can play against "real competition" instead of these no-name schools in the Big 12 3. They lose the last game of the rivalry against a down-year Texas team, somehow making Case McCoy look like Vince Young 4. After moving to the SEC, they have 1 surprisingly good year with Johnny Manziel 5. They start changing the narrative to "Texas is scared and won't play us" after there's a story about how Texas didn't want to give up a non-conference game against them right after they left the Big 12 6. Despite Texas having a truly abysmal decade, the new AD reaches out and offers to schedule A&M. 7. A&M declines because they are way too busy with the big-boys of college football, such as Alabama. They need their tune-up game with App State. 8. Texas schedules Alabama instead, who doesn't really feel like they need a tune-up game to face the mighty Aggies.

How does Bobby actually get paid to write for a living? Bobby has been accused of being a new era of Texas football? That's pretty arrogant. It's also weird that he totally lost his sentence structure after the first item in his list.

You know who else had a prolific offense? Hitler.

No, I heard he was once a child and before that he was a fetus.

Are you suggesting that we need to keep recruiting players once they are here so that they don't transfer?

Both of those guys would have been under the Pat Moorer program. Malik Jefferson and several others got way bigger and stronger after one year with Yancy McKnight. If Deandre gets stronger, his gf better watch out.

Don’t forget Trey Metoyer whipping it out at housewives around town.

CTJ owning a day spa really explains his closeness with EJ. They go get a mani/pedi, have a nice dinner, talk recruiting and hot guys the whole time.

The Joe Mixon thing wasn't domestic violence so it is allowable under OU rules. She wasn't a family member or girlfriend.

Any chance that Herman reported the death to try to make game 1 easier? If so, clearly this is all Texas meddling with another program and we need to leave other schools alone so their coaches can properly discipline thier players and wives.

You thought wrong. These guys can’t quit each other.

Sounds like you let EJ buy you one too many glasses of Rose during one of your infamous dinners.

There's pictures of the injuries and text messages on McMurphy's facebook page. Are you saying McMurphy photoshopped them?
