Especially when it is sitting on my face.

Oregon State? That's a big ass, funky lookin' beaver on the sleeve.

This thread has been cathartic. It's no secret that many surlyians (surlyites?) have been ripping Mack on here on a more than frequent basis. And yet, Charlie NumbNuts seemed to slide without even the slightest bit of angst. That obviously is not the case, or simply needed a forum to vent the pent up piss and vinegar at Charlie Numbnuts. For what he did here at Texas... Fuck him and Feed him Fishheads.

This thread stands in marked contrast to the thread started about the culture under Herman. Herman's job coming in was so monumental. He had to clean out the stench left by Strong. A stench of losing. A stench of failure. A stench of incompetence. We had gotten away from our history. We had gotten away from being Texas. Just as the baseball team doesn't dog pile for winning sub-regionals, or regionals, the Texas football team doesn't carry around their head coach on their shoulders after winning a regular season game. We aren't back yet. But at least the road is before us and there is clarity of vision.

This is a pretty good list of 54 DBs (with some listed who should not be on there) https://247sports.com/college/texas/Article/Rod-Babers-ranks-the-top-DBs-in-Texas-Longhorns-history-179744/

Our president needs to focus on academic issues and increasing the international reputation of the University of Texas as a global leader in research and education. The president of aggy needs to focus on improving relationships with barnyard animals and lobbying representatives in Austin to lessen the criminal sanctions for lascivious acts perpetrated against creatures with four legs.

Oh, I definitely check in on this thread on a semi-regular basis. I was open about my struggles on the Shag before here and can give updates. One of the things I have told others who have opened up to me with their struggles and who routinely say, "I know my issues cannot compare to yours, but ..." is that you cannot compare levels of grief. Grief is as individual as the person suffering. I reading Another's soul-baring post, I was caught up in the newness and raw power of it. I felt that it needed room and space to be reviewed, not diminished in any way and have the collective help one can get from this thread be directed toward him. My issue was just the usual roller coaster of emotions that comes into our lives. I know that the permanence that is the reality of the death of a loved one is a concept that is so incredibly difficult to grasp. It grips you in different ways, at different times. I hope that Another continues on a good path with his eyes, heart and soul open... embrace those kids every chance you get. And be the Storm.

To get things back on topic... just thank God Coach Potato is gone and is now USF's problem. No take backs of course. The rotting stench he left on our proud program is just about completely dissipated. Much like the second ex-Mrs. Lid. Onward and upward Gentlemen.
-
Were we overmatched? Listening to the pundits on ESPN with a multi-billion dollar contract with the SEC ... yes. They athletically scared the bejesus out of you? Again, ESPN hype and playing only one OOC team with a pulse will do that. We do have a good coach. And good coaching resulted in the win against a team perceived to be superior to ours. The game was nowhere near as close as the score. Their weaknesses were identified and attacked. It is nice to have a coaching staff capable of that instead of a coaching staff still trying to learn to spell ... weakness. In the unlikely event that Potato is still with USF with they come marching in to Austin in 2020, the beat down will be absolutely epic.

Gentlemen ... Gentlemen ... a little respect. The vaunted 2018 edition of Alabama football just joined a very unique and exclusive club. In fact, that club only has two other members ... The 2003 edition of the Oklahoma Sooners and the USC Condoms of 2005. That club? The greatest college football team in the history of God not to win the national championship. HERE'S TO THE LOSERS! HUZZAH!

Move that ou - Washington State Rose Bowl down a number of notches. Washington State was nothing special at all and only got the Rose Bowl bid because the Orange took USC. Game did not even sell out. Oh.. and as a not so interesting aside.. two of the three co-Grand Marshals of the Rose Parade that year were .... Bill Cosby and ... Fred Rogers, from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. I bet they could have had some interesting conversations. Further proof that ou's bowl record is in part built on luck and less than stellar opponents. Their only national championship in THIRTY-THREE (33) years came against an underwhelming Florida State team in Stoops 2nd year. Their BCS wins include over an over-rated Washington State team and an unranked UConn team.

This is nothing less than a formal declaration of war upon the University of Texas. "Nations and princes endowed with some pride are not generally willing to wage war without a previous declaration, for they wish by an open attack to render victory more honourable and glorious." Gentlemen... war has been declared!

That's what the little guys say.

It's what Stephen F. did to himself when he saw that Sam Houston entered the race to become the first President of Texas.

Jesus, it's like arguing with my ex-wife. You not only do not address the legion of facts contradicting your vacuous opinions but deny their very existence. You consistently ignore all of the facts which counter your opinions, most of which have no merit, substance or factual basis supporting them. Like aggy ("oh.. since 1970, we are almost, nearly even with the sips and all you have to do is disregard the number of times we were on probation) you ignore anything and everything that does not support your point of view. And now, despite having a complete lack of credibility, you insist on shitting all over Herman in a vainglorious attempt to prove that Charlie Cuckold was not as bad as everyone knows he is. You shit on Mack Brown. You shit on Tom Herman. You shit on the University of Texas. Why? Now, make no mistake, no one is expecting you to just embrace everything about Mack and Herman. That is far too aggy-ish. But, when you are so blinded by your love for your hero, your idol, your boy toy, Coach Potato that you shit on the very University you claim to support for the sole purpose of trying to raise the stature of the worst coach in the history of our program, then you sirrah, are nothing but a reprobate at best. And I am sure I write for a number of people on here when I ask, "if Coach Potato were white, would your pathetic attempt at a defense of this coach be as strident? Would you be running down the University of Texas football program, as you are attempting to do, if Coach Potato were white? And yes.. damn straight, I played the race card front and center. Others may be too candy ass or politically correct to do so, but your constant pedantic ramblings can be interpreted as supporting a coach based on one criteria, and one criteria alone... his race.

Statements like that take away what very little credibility you may have. What got us to a place of going from a national afterthought the last few years of Mack to being a national laughing stock was the felony-like incompetence of Charlie Not-At-All. How many offensive coordinators did he have at UT? 3 in 3 years? He didn't even know the offense Watson was running at the start of year 2. Defense ... his strong point? The worst in Texas football history which immediately improved upon Herman's arrival. Special teams? Even YOU can see how grossly incompetent he was in that phase of the game. His recruiting? We lack depth now because so many of his recruits simply didn't pan out. In game adjustments? He obviously did not know that that is not just acceptable, but expected during a game. We became a laughing stock because of that grossly incompetent fraud. And if Texas were not as concerned about being a national leader in everything we do, athletically, academically, etc., we should have taken the position that he was fired for cause and told him to go pound sand on the remainder of his contract. So, by all means, keep blaming Mack for where the program is 5 years after Mack left. Keep ignoring all of the facts indicating the level of gross neglect and incompetence demonstrated by Coach Potato. When the messenger, in this case, YOU, is so delusional and either unwilling or incapable of addressing and admitting the significance of the overwhelming body of evidence which contradicts his views, the message too, is lost and disregarded.

OH MY GOD... Please take Charlie Not-At-All Strong's cock out of your mouth! Can you still taste Jonathan Blue's wife's vagina on it?! Under Coach Potato, when we were behind at halftime, our record was... TWO wins and SEVENTEEN Losses.... 2 - 17. When we trailed going into the 4th quarter under Coach Potato, our record was TWO wins and SEVENTEEN Losses. ... 2 -17. That is coaching, failing to be able to make in-game adjustments, lack of condition and yes.. to a certain extent, lack of depth. But, was there one coach in the Big 12 who shook in their boots at the prospect of going up against Coach Potato? Stoops? Gundy? Patterson? Briles? Bro? Wizard? For you to even insinuate that the record would have been as bad with Mack or DKR or Lombardi demonstrates: (1). You know nothing about football and coaching; (2). You are the worst troll possible; (3). Coach Potato's cock is rammed so far down your throat you cannot breathe, or (4). All of the above. Quit talking while you are behind.

So, if they are paid, do they become employees of the school? Presumably, they will be taxed on the direct pay. But then, does the fair market value of their room and board, tuition, books, etc. then become taxable events as well? As employees, would they have the right to unionize? If so, could they strike? If schools refuse to pay a certain amount, would they be susceptible to claims of conspiracy and collusion?

For the 40 year olds and up ... The Columns Hotel in the Garden District for the win. I have stayed there a number of times. Get Room 10 if you can. https://www.ghostsavannah.com/2013/09/a-new-orleans-ghost-story-the-columns-hotel/

I have an attorney colleague in Chicago who works with the Alliance. The only words in your post which are accurate appear to be, "The ... and ... The ... "

Yes, we have such great traditions with the likes of playing Kansas, Kansas State, Ioway State. Over 100 years of competitive balance. aggy self jizzing out the door to play cuckold to the SEC. Nebraska tucking tail and running in a cowardly fashion. Lots of tradition there. Yes, a division headlined with Texas, ou, Nebraska, Ioway, Wisconsin would be horrible with hundreds of millions of dollars in research, grant, grad student exchange programs, professors collaborating... Sounds like that really sucks.
-
It is not so much the AAU designation (60 universities in US and 2 in Canada), it is the collaboration available through the Big Ten Academic Alliance that should get a good, long look down in Austin. With $10 BILLION in research funding every year, each university in essence has access to $720 million in research funding each year. (Assuming it is spread evenly, which I believe is not, but is damned close). The shared programs, libraries, research projects are going to be a huge draw. It is certainly one thing to talk about road trips to the West Coast a few times a year, or how we would have to play Northwestern, Minnesota, Purdue, etc. (Yawn) if in the Big 10 ... but the academicians in Austin are going to be pushing hard for the Big 10.

The Big 10 Academic Alliance has $10 BILLION in grant funding for research. The money distributed to each institution on an annual basis far exceeds any television conference revenue. Libraries are shared. You can attend another Big 10 university for one year of grad school and only pay the in-state fees. Access to other universities' professors. If this becomes a possibility, we better damn sure take a good, long hard look at this and if we turn it down because we want our 'foosball team" to play more attractive teams... that makes us no better than aggy. There's a lot more at play here fellas.
