  2. It's fantastic. As is what a LSU guy wrote at an aggie in one of those threads.... please call us daddy. Until Texas comes we are going to play that role.
  3. 100%. Which is why I find any fan digging their heels in on either side of our coaching decision comical. No one on this board knows shit but we act like keeping Sark is the only option or firing everyone and hiring coach du jour will cure everything. It's OK to have an opinion and not be blinded by it. This ain't politics where binary options and my beliefs are the absolute only right way.
  4. I hate the "trigger" word. But I'm like you and triggered by thinking of Mack and his folksy, arrogant, blame everyone but Sally and the great parents bullshit. Say what you will about Sark....Mack would not have played Xavier Worthy until OK State game because he would have thrown up in the Cotton Bowl tunnel.
  5. Correct. It was while he was a coach here. Our fans really really really suck. I couldn't believe it and its shaped how i think of us. Guess back then, the average fan wasn't on social media or Hornfans or any other place you could yell at other fans to show how tough you were so you mailed things instead.
  6. This is a rare "I have inside knowledge" moment. They got so much hate mail and gross things mailed to them by our "great" fans that it was uncomfortable. The reality is it was the first time that type of shitty fan behavior happened to them so they probably thought Texas fans sucked. I'm sure it happened far worse at future stops but that first time hits hardest (like getting a shocker). This is why I shake my head at our fan base. The Muschamp's were hated by many Longhorns. Yet now, we want him back. I've grown accustomed to fans just hating everyone but VY, Ricky, and Earl. That includes me, btw. I irrationally hate Greg Davis and Mack more than any coach since. Tie in to recruitment....I wonder how our hatred of everyone affects momentum sometimes. We fans likely make no difference but I do think it moves the needle. Then again, I think the two biggest factors in school choice are which school sets them up for the NFL the best and which bag is heaviest, not fan base or quality of education or facilities or coach or relationships.
  7. I missed this and never saw a link to recording. Any one have it?
  8. I'd go back and ask for 2nds on crunchies (for years, mind you). I'm in my mid 40s and amazed my cholesterol doesn't have a siren going off yet.
  9. I'm not sure about Sark but I'm so sorry for you that the Longhorns won. Let me know ASAP when you get over it.
  10. Our rotation for our once-a-week eating out experiences was: Long John Silver's (you are wrong if you didn't respect that chicken plank) Fuddruckers Little Ceasars And when it was a birthday or graduation or something special, it was Steak & Ale. Where I'm disappointed no one has brought up how great the bread was and how the salad bar made you feel like you owned bitcoin since 2015, bruh.
  11. Samples to Aggie might as well be confirmed now.
  12. Umm, this ain't a law school class, buddy. This is the real (internet) world where I can make any argument I want and just call someone dumb as shit if they dont agree with my professional football opinion that I type at a cubicle getting paid for something totally unrelated to football. You are a fucking moron if you don't agree with this post.
  13. If a decade trend is enough of a statistical sample, i think you forgot Xavier transferring.
  14. Ita because we aren't used to any player getting better during the season. Regression is my ride or die.
  15. It's important to be the most humble Joneses' evah.
  16. I'm sure it's something like they can use a certain color now. Can you now smell maybe being in the hunt for conference championship game appearances in late October?
  17. I don't recognize any Hallmark plot if you fail to include the endearing "baking cookies with future stepkids and somehow, you have flour on your cheek" scene.
  18. The amount of ways we self-sabotage this program is endless. Doesn't matter who is coach. We (coach/players/fans/media/administration) just suck in new ways every few months. I would like to say thanks to the weather for not being horrific for us in the last 10 years.
  19. Tell me you've never been in a Golden Corral parking lot without telling me you've never been in a GC parking lot.
  20. When comparing players in football, skin color is the first and most important filter. Playing style, hand size, era and speed are distant 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th criteria for comparisons.
  21. To keep this on topic, Brett Robin was a MF. A MFing med student who Mack's vagina gave more carries to than 5 star-studs sitting behind him. Ps no blame on Brett. Dude did what he could. Pps Brett reminded me of Christian McCaffrey even before I knew who Christian McCaffrey was.
  22. We are too stodgy an organization for quick-change and this video captures some of the real coaching style we have that many posters have said wasn't in place. Our losers mentality over 3 coaches (let's hope not 4) is a virus and treated as such and that is why I haven't judged this coaching staff either way yet. Culture takes time to change and agree with was written up top....changing the culture starts from the top and must end up creating players that lead said culture. Otherwise, we will be looking for a new coach in 2025. But there is no way in hell you change our shitty culture in 10 months. 36 months, sure. I just hope all the players that come in, whether transfer or regular, hear Bo and believe it in their core. If they are here for brand exposure and Austin and are cool losing as long as they get style points by dressing up in a great suit on Saturday mornings, then we will have a tough few seasons ahead of us.
  23. Agred but he won't get in trouble. This is just people stirring things up and hoping for the worst.
