    It would be a goddamn disaster if Urban went to ou. We thought 5 in a row was bad under Stoops, Urban would destroy our program. 

    But... but... we can rub moral superiority and academic standards that have nothing to do with the football program in their face!

    was that on the scoreboard?

    of the 660 mins. of football we have played this year, we've trailed in 31 of them.  Ole Miss doesn't consist of a single second of that 31 mins.

    i'm okay with where things are, and i trust Aranda to get a handle on calling a game with this kind of offense.

    I'm tired of idiots using the yards per game stat to judge defensive performance. That stat was antiquated back in 2011. Yards per play, points per game, or fuck off.

    This was my immediate thought too, but when was the last time that Baylor (or anybody else for that matter) showed up flat against Texas? That said, they also know that no matter what happens on Saturday they are going to get a rematch against OU as long as they beat Kansas next week. 

    2015 was the last time Baylor cane out flat.  Was right after they lost a heartbreaker to TCU. We came out hot and proceeded to execute their QB.

    Friendly reminder: Dabo Swinney went 6-7 in his third season at Clemson. The next year, be brought in Chad Morris at OC and Brett Venables at DC. And Clemson won the ACC Championship and never looked back.

    Herman should emulate Swinney's example. Get two new coordinators and let them have real input.

    Swinney is not our standard!!

    In all seriousness, I'm sure it was easier for Clemson fans to bear since he wasn't and insufferable douchebag and all.

    In this hypothetical post-Urban world, are we coming off 1 or 2 national championships?

    If he stays a decade and goes full Saban (5+), he can SMU the roster for all I care.

  6. The biggest visible downside to Urban is the state he left Florida in after his departure. It reeked of him losing control of an already volatile locker room. However, this year's tOSU makes him seem less dangerous to the long term well being of a football program. While sitting at 5-2, with losses to LSU and OU, I honestly though he was far from the best idea. After watching the last four weeks of futility and losing hope for this staff to turn things around (without oversight), I'm much more open to the idea of gambling on a guy like Urban. Once again, the concern would still be the state of the program after he leaves.

  7. “I wanted coach xxx to succeed here”

    Why does that need to be said?? Doesn’t every Texas fan want their coach to succeed and get us back dominance? Who actually sees their team hire a new coach and say: “Man, I hope this guy tanks and wastes 3-5 years of my sports watching life”?
