  1. And here I thought I was special. I sent the following to CDC on Saturday (edited for brevity - skip pas the italics if you don't care what my email said said) and accidentally picked up when he called me today because I thought it was my kids' school or something: I’m a member of the University of Texas’ Class of [a long time ago]. I emailed your predecessor, Mike Perrin, about the hiring of Casey Horny. I’ve been with our school’s team through great, good, bad, and miserable times. However, the hiring and retention of Casey Horny is more upsetting to me than any loss to Kansas (or Iowa State). I was also extremely upset when our current coach’s response to criticism on the issue was essentially “I just know more than everyone else.” That kind of arrogance (and standing behind a rape apologist) has no place at the University of Texas. Especially given the Longhorns’ special teams' abysmal play this season, since that is Mr. Horny’s unit. I’m very concerned about the current direction of the football program. I think we have now seen enough to know that Tom Herman is simply not the right person for the job. His insistence on the Horny hire told me a great deal about his moral makeup. I am also concerned that he is unwilling to make obviously necessary changes to the coaching staff, as the results over the past few weeks have been unacceptable - and not even necessarily because of the outcome. Instead, I am concerned with the obvious disadvantage the Longhorns seem to have in terms of coaching and adjustments every Saturday. The team just seems to regress with every game. I’m not a multi-million dollar donor, but I will tell you exactly what I told your predecessor, Mr. Perrin: the University of Texas will never receive another dime from me - whether it is for merchandise, tickets, or donations until - Casey Horny is no longer employed at the University of Texas in any capacity. Although I do feel that Tom Herman is not the right man to be our coach, the dismissal of Casey Horny would be an excellent starting point for a more moral University of Texas. In sum, I love the University of Texas. I would very much like the chance to donate some of my disposable income towards making it an even better, more exceptional place for our diverse student body. However, I simply cannot justify doing so until Mr. Horny is no longer an employee of the university. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Regards, [CampCrunk] [CampCrunk's phone #] And then CDC called me late this morning and I picked up by mistake. He talked about how they will sit down and evaluate every member of the staff at the end of the season. One thing he did say that I liked quite a bit was: "I was not athletics director when we hired that guy [Horny]." I hope I interpreted that (and his inflection when he said it) correctly and he's going to do something about the situation. He said that it's a tough situation because, although he understands the concerns, he's worried about "throwing the baby out with the bathwater." He mentioned that we've had three coaches in the past seven years and said that he doesn't think that just chasing a different new hot name every offseason is a recipe for success. He did not bring up Dabo Swinney, like he apparently did for some other folks. I'm sure I'm missing a few points, but I think that's the gist of it. Overall, he struck me a genuine, good, smart guy who is very concerned about the athletics department even though he (obviously) couldn't go into much detail with me. It's very clear that he wants to win and win big. I came away very impressed with him. Like my email said - I'm a nobody - and the fact that he took time out of a doubtlessly hectic schedule to call me up and discuss my concerns speaks volumes about how much he cares about the fans. Maybe I'm not a big Mensa supporter (and I'm certainly a Casey Horny hater), but I will definitely be pulling for CDC.
  2. "tHe SuN cAmE Up ToDaY!!1"
  3. I'm in for either of these.
  4. **winning too much isn't good for the kids.
  5. Unfortunately, I think he makes it to 2021. However, if (when?) he refuses to make any changes to his staff, I could see CDC canning him after next season. What an absolute shit show of a season.
  6. That too.
  7. Exactly what I'm going to do. Just sent my first message and have a calendar reminder to send a new one every week. This shit is totally unacceptable. Unlimited checkbook to build the best staff in CFB and Tom Herman... hires his buddies, some "yes" men, and a rape apologist. Great use of resources, Tommy.
  8. I didn't see this posted. Nice Guy (TM) bemoans lack of interest from women when he has a degree, a great job in a slaughterhouse and gets 700 pounds of free beef each year! Internet roundly mocks him over the past week. Guess what school he went to?
  9. Also this:
  10. Hahahaha we pay Warehime almost $400,000.00 to clog toilets on recruiting trips. I think I knew that, but I blocked it out to keep sane. For $390,000.00, I will happily quit my job and live on a diet of unripe bananas, cheese, and processed grains. Edit: And opiates. Can't forget the opiates. That's the best one.
  11. Honestly, all I ask is that we make not excuses for violent criminals and sex offenders, not employ people who cover for them, or fuck with the academic side. You got caught selling weed? OK, fine. Sit out a half versus Louisiana Tech, I guess. It should never have been illegal in the first place. Public intoxication and swearing at a cop? Get ready to run some suicides. Got caught taking benefits from a booster? As long as the NCAA doesn't rule you ineligible, that's fine with me. Get caught running a Georgia style cheating ring? Yeah, I really don't give a shit anymore. It's painfully obvious the NCAA doesn't care if big schools do it, so why should I? Punch a male law school student on 6th Street? Eh, I don't blame you at all. The fact that he's in law school means there's 95% chance he deserved it. No punishment at all. Ruthlessly tamper with players from another school to induce a transfer? Fuck it, go for it. Hit a girl, sexually assault someone, cover one of those things up, ignore one of those things, employ someone who did any of that, murder someone/a teammate (well, maybe Epps or Brewer...),* engage in some kind of aggravated violent felony, or commit academic fraud on a massive scale that hurts the reputation of the school (e.g. UNC)? Then you're gone. That's it. That's all I'm asking. It seems that Herman and I have different priorities, though. *Obviously a joke. Mostly.
  12. QFT. Or rather, quoted for being absolutely 100% dead fucking on.
  13. I get what you're saying (and I'll probably take some heat for this), but I value my degrees and the reputation of the school a lot more than the football program. And even so, I would have ZERO trouble paying kids left and right. None whatsoever. I would be fine with hiring a coach who was absolutely ruthless when it comes to stuff like that. But I draw the line employing someone who was part of a fucking rape camp (or covered up for domestic violence).
  14. This is what we get for not adhering to our principles. Herman should have been told "either Horny goes or you both go," damn the consequences. And then, if Herman caved, he should've been forced to explain why he ever thought hiring the guy was OK in the first place. This is the UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. It's not OU, Ohio State, or fucking aggy. Rape apologists and people who protect and employ them do not belong here. Period. I'll keep cheering for the kids, but Herman is fucking dead to me. It's a stance I should have taken the second Herman hired Horny and then refused to ditch him with a justification of "I'm smart and you're not."
  15. Definitely a fair point, but I'd say the main difference in those games was that TCU had a sizable talent advantage over us in three of those trainwrecks. Today? Not so much. We just got embarrassingly out-worked, out-coached, and out-schemed.
  16. Amazing. Late stage Mack and even Charlie Strong couldn't have done a better job of fucking this game up.
  17. Jesus. Can CDC just Kiffin everyone tonight? I think I'm going to lose it the next time I see Herman's smug ass at a press conference. He should have been gone the VERY SECOND he refused to ditch Casey Horny.
  18. I wouldn't count out K State of ISU either.
  19. This team is fucking trash. If we're going to lose, I really hope TCU runs it up to help force some changes. Because nothing about the way the Horns look today is acceptable under any circumstances.
  20. Would pos rep twice if I could for using a Doom Patrol .gif.
  21. Interesting offer, but I certainly don't mind poaching a guy with potential from Rhule. His evaluations seems like they're awfully good. Since the offer came from Orlando, can we assume he's being looked at fro Rover or Mike? This kid runs angry in his film, so I'd think linebacker might be a solid fit after some teaching and development.
