  1. Mack exorcised some demons beating Diaz's defense even worse than BYU did. This year Mack seems to have recreated the same energy he had early in his career at Texas. His players are turning into studs, his recruiting is outstanding and he still has a WTF loss that slightly undermines a fantastic season.
  2. LSU let Mississippi State throw for 623 yards on them with State QB K.J. Costello setting an SEC passing record. Costello would be permanently benched halfway through the season as State stumbled to a 2-5 record with their offense being shut out twice. We would have beat fucking LSU. They are a Charlie Strong tier team this season, just look at some of their box scores.
  3. Orgeron becoming an ESPN analyst would be the best timeline. They need someone to replace Lou Holtz as captain marble mouth.
  4. I have a memory of it being against Rice and them looking like they had a good chance of losing before he came back at half.
  5. The idea that anything Mack did stopped Saban from coming to UT was always extremely retarded. Mack was great and if we fire Herman and hire someone like Franklin or Cristobal this board will get to enjoy 4 years of Mack and UNC having a better W/L record than us.
  6. I wouldn't say that but I do think that besides Urban, every other name being tossed around as a replacement is a downgrade.
  7. Wow at that gyno development. Looks like hes been taking Dbol without giving single fuck.
  8. Greg Roman's deal is he creates a fantastic offense year 1. Year 2 it gets figured out and he refuses to change it. He gets fired shortly after. If it isn't Urban I'm fine staying with our current staff, all these other guys blow. I like Yurich's offense and want to see what it would look like with competent QB play.
  9. I mean Quandre Diggs has been a very solid starter in the NFL despite most on this board hating him at the end of his career at Texas.
  10. I think rescheduling happens when they aren't sure about the contact tracing/who might have come into contact with the virus.
  11. NFL jobs are more or less equal except in specific scenarios with shithead owners ala Redskins/Jets. Zona used to have a shithead owner but those days are long gone.
  12. Why would he leave an NFL job where he has a franchise QB? Texas has less money, more pressure, less chance of success and higher expectations.
  13. Our OL is rated the 2nd best in the Big 12 behind Kansas State. Watch other teams play. There are very few QBs who have more time to throw than Sam.
  14. You can't build an offense around a QB this limited and not have it figured out within a few weeks. Our offensive scheme is good this year our senior QB is not. Face it, Sam has been the ceiling on the team this year. We are not wasting him, we are waiting for him to leave. It's sad because theres been clear regression. He wasn't this bad before.
  15. I love Sam to death but even in plays where he has a full 5 seconds he will just flat out miss. Dude has sucked this year and there is no way around it. WRs are constantly open down field. OU game I think Sam missed 7 deep shots to dudes who were wide open. I think it says something that his best year in 18' was the year we never even attempted a true deep ball and ranked dead last in FBS in the "explosive plays" category. I think it's impossible to win a championship with a QB like Sam nowadays.
  16. Kingsburry having a top offense in the NFL while having an Ewok under center is the best timeline.
  17. I recently graduated and know some organizers of various small protests and their friends. A common sentiment in that group is that racism can only be solved by installing a Marxist economy. They do hate the Constitution for being written by slave owners and think it is completely obsolete. The idea of Free Speech (Freeze Peach is what they call it) is seen as only valued by closet racists. If you advocate for free speech they will just think you're racist. I know that Republicans have accused every single milquetoast democrat over the past 20 years of being a commie, but communism does have real traction around activist types. Canceling old shit for petty reasons is a trend that is only getting more popular. Its just an easy way to feel self righteous.
  18. Even Charlie Strong is embarrassed for Navy right now.
  19. Okay I did get it slightly wrong. Goodwin got involved in this by supporting Jackson's non apology that doubled down on the anti-semitism. Maybe (hopefully) he misunderstood what Jackson was saying?
  20. Nah its not. Marquise stated full support for a blatantly racist statement in a different comment from a Nation of Islam leader. He's supporting the idea that the Jews are an evil cabal working to keep down black people as part of their plan for world domination. I don't think I'm over reacting by saying I find that disappointing. You never know the weird shit celebrities believe but I'm still surprised by shit like this. Nation of Islam has deep ties to legitimate old school Nazism, they are rightfully classified as a hate group. A bunch of NBA and NFL players are coming out in support of this. I'll explain the other comment. People are mad at Goodwin's BLM comment because it's in response to people criticizing antisemitism. He is trying to downplay the problem of antisemitism, saying they should ignore antisemitism to focus on BLM. That's basically the same as others responding to BLM by saying All Lives Matter. Something Goodwin is against. It comes off as hypocritical. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here but this is what I'm seeing.
  21. The amount of players supporting Jackson's overtly antisemitic post is really disturbing. I know its not actually a Hitler quote, its just a quote from a guy who said "Here the Jews don't like Farrakhan and so they call me 'Hitler'. Well that's a good name. Hitler was a very great man." Marquise is my favorite player from the lost era. This is really disappointing
  22. The school should probably make an effort to educate people about the meaning. Just to clear things up.
  23. Isn't the meaning confirmed to be about high expectations the people of Texas have towards the students at UT?
  24. It was written by a guy who did minstrel shows and he advertised it at a minstrel show. But I don't think it was written for the show, was part of the show, or was in actuality was "a minstrel song". Its missing the characteristics of minstrel songs that make them so offensive, such as the played up African American dialect in the lyrics as well as the mocking tone directed at black people. It was written with a different purpose in mind and has very different content from abhorrent minstrel songs. Compare this When I was young I us'd to waitOn Massa and hand him de plate;Pass down de bottle when he git dry,And bresh away de blue tail fly. Jim crack corn I don't care, Jim crack corn I don't care, Jim crack corn I don't care, Ole Massa gone away. To this The Eyes of Texas are upon you,All the livelong day.The Eyes of Texas are upon you,You cannot get away.Do not think you can escape themAt night or early in the morn --The Eyes of Texas are upon youTil Gabriel blows his horn. Do you get what I'm saying? If the meaning behind Eyes was anything remotely similar to the content of minstrel songs I would support its removal and replacement. I'm not going to die on this hill but just giving my two cents.
  25. The lyrics arent racist and what the song is about and represents isn't racist in any context. The story I read was talking about the song being offensive because its based on a song (railroad) based on a song ( Levee song) that IS racist. Now I'm hearing it may have debuted at a blackface show? I just don't see Eyes being the real issue. If socio economic problems in black communities were solved I dont think anyone would be playing 8 degrees of Kevin Racism with The Eyes.
