Yep. I ingested way to much this season and the hangover from my indulgence still lingers. I will believe in this coaching staff and team the second the clock hits zero on win number 10 next season. Not a second before. Same for the 2021 team. Fool me 10 times, shame on me. Won't be fooled again.

Whatever you do, don't drink the koolaid. It's really just piss.
-
Man, that explains why our LBs love running into OL so much.
-
Much like a Nolan Ryan fastball, the defense doesn't need to be fancy to work at Texas. Keep giving em the heater and mix in an off speed pitch here and there. I think my baseball analogies are better than my boxing analogies.
-
Billy dare not say the name of that evil 8-5 team with that ONLY win.
-
We switching to Taylor Swift?
-
Didn't use a Fleetwood Mac song, sorry... no points this round. How did we make it this far with no one noting that FCB only receives Second Hand News?
-
It did take Sam actually standing up and getting shoved back down before the flag came out though. Bravo?
-
I'm just here for the gang bang... I have no idea how a guy that is a D1 coach couldn't see what was so obvious to us idiots on Surly. 46 almost doubled his stats in one game by being properly utilized. Unbelievable.
-
I thought the same thing, and then it isn't offsetting it is just a penalty on the offense. Seemed pretty obvious the OL flipped his helmet off.
-
I will use the Surly tried and true and ask you to point to exactly WHERE I said that I wanted good technical coaches and don't give a shit if they can recruit. Good luck. I also never found the incriminating post from Greenspoint where he said top ten classes don't matter. But believe me, I think recruiting matters. Good coaching definitely matters more. I will say that I think that Saban doesn't go out looking for guys who recruit and see if they can coach. He coaches the hell out of his coaches and turns away the recruits he doesn't want. Give me that system any day of the week. Loser mentality and mediocrity... shit. I watched Christmas Vacation one too many times, but to quote Clark Griswold: Have you looked around here lately? We're at the threshold of hell!

I get that, I just find it hilarious that people shit on a conference championship like that is something easy to accomplish. It sure as hell hasn't been for Texas. Herman is right in saying that our goal is to win the conference. We can control that, the rest becomes magic fairy dust and eyeball tests. Beating OU is key to winning our conference. So give me both of those things and lets see where we land on the national stage. We have good recruits. We have shit coaches. It has been that way for a decade. I am sick of watching a team with a Texas logo on their helmet run around like a poorly coached junior high team year after year. Good coaches will fix that, great recruits make it easier. I mean, I expect Bijan to be a true difference maker. But I expected the same out of Jonathan Gray and Malcolm Brown.

We have one National Championship and TWO conference championships in the last 20 years. I get that in a dream world we could be Alabama, but we can't even sniff their jock strap. We have one season with 10 wins in this decade, and ZERO seasons with less than 4 losses. I just want a team that can beat Kansas without giving me a heart attack. We can talk about championships once we can actually play big boy football. We aren't even close. I fully understand that recruiting is important, but we can't field a team that can block or tackle, so none of our players are going to the NFL as a result. You think that might affect recruiting?

2019 Alamo Bowl: Texas vs. #11 Utah - Pregame Discussion Thread
jinx replied to texifornia's topic in Football
Perhaps I’ll write a separate post about that. But for now, just wanted to note that I was happy to hear that Ash is tearing up the film room and apparently has allocated times for staff members to watch film. All staffs do that obviously, but not everyone is vigilant about it. I hope he isn't watching this season. I think that Herman has a strict policy against it. -
Right now our goal seems to be a winning season. Winning is really, really hard. I would give anything to have OUs problem of 5 straight conference titles and playoff losing streak.
-
So this is the recruiting thread now? I am so confused. But this does seem like the perfect time to ask for the favor I have wanted to ask for a week or so. Somewhere on here, I saw a graphic that showed top 25 recruiting classes over the last decade (we had 10) beside 10 win seasons and conference championships (or something like that). I have no idea where I saw it, but I think it reflect Greenspoints general premise. OU, Baylor, TCU and OSU have shown a consistent ability to beat Texas by actually coaching their lesser ranked players. Novel concept I know. Can anyone repost that?
-
Agreed on all of this. Cleveland at least had the smarts to hold on to the "Browns" Cleveland....
-
I grew up in Houston. Had a 5th birthday party where my cake was an Oilers helmet and I proudly wore my Oilers jersey and belt buckle. I still have a signed picture of Earl from his Oiler days up in my office. I lived and died with every playoff game the Oilers lost. Anyone who thinks the "Texans" is an appropriate name for a Houston team has never set foot in the state of Texas. That place is more like Lowsyanna than Texas. Oilers, Astros, Rockets... all perfect names for that city. Texans is trying too hard to be like the Cowboys. They should have named the clash between the Titans and Texans the "Not Oilers Bowl" Fuck Bud Adams.

So we hired an OC from the Buckeyes with six years of OC experience at Okie State with 4 top ten offenses in that time. And we hired a DC that won a national title (with Herman) at Ohio State and was thought highly enough he became a head coach (although that didn't go so well). If I weren't a Texas fan, I would think all of this seemed pretty good. But since I am a Texas fan, I am just left to wonder how we will screw up this seemingly good situation.
-
Is that really in question? I think the answer is that he didn't for one year at Ohio State but did for the previous six years at Okie State. I think it is certain he will call plays for Texas
-
I loved the retro on Lamb and Delpits undefeated Texas peewee teams.
-
Exactly what I have thought all day long. Sick of watching us flounder but seeing Texas HS players owning the playoffs. How the hell did we screw this up so badly?

They just use the Tyson method of throwing haymakers coming out of the corner. It works against most, but not against the other true heavy weights typically.
