  1. I think we can get a good coach for a 5 year deal...crazy?
  2. There is more blame. There should never ever be granted a 7 year contract. Who negotiates this stuff? Even if Perrin hadn’t extended .Shaka, he would still have 2 years left.
  3. I think the universal truth about coaches is they all eventually wear out their welcome. Looking at some past coaches, I think someone could do a study and find out that a coach’s first 5 years will be better than his last 5. I just looked and found out weltlich was coach of the year in the sec before coming to Texas, and was coach of the year here, the one really good year here. Someone in AD realized those years were as good as it’s gonna get, and said goodbye. I think UTs big mistake is not knowing when to say goodbye. Look at Akers, was a good hire. 7 great years. I guess you blame the Georgia loss on a coach not telling players to stay away from the punt. Remember, it was the defense on the field for 4th down, because the coaches didn’t believe Georgia would punt the ball. Blame Dodds for not saying goodbye after the Freedom Bowl massacre. Everyone in Austin knew after the freedom bowl massacre, yet he lasted 2 more years. Can an AD help a coach become better over time? I don’t think so.
  4. Speaking of basketball, was cdc at the basketball game yesterday?
  5. It’s not over til the fat lady sings, and IMO she is warming up. We’re going up against a Tech team that is the hungriest of all possible teams, IMO. They haven’t won a game in ALMOST 3 WEEKS!!!!!! They also have a good coach. In about 4 and a half days, our long basketball coaching nightmare should be over.
  6. If you call that a dumb play, which I agree, you have to go back a year or two previously, when GD made an even dumber play call or 2. Calling 2 or 3 QB sneaks in a row against KSU resulted in Colt McCoy s injury.
  7. I wouldn’t accept a NIT bid. I would already be talking to coach b. If cdc is the money raising person he claims, I wouldn’t be concerned about the dough. Besides, who wants to see another year of nit home crowds of less than 2000?
  8. To make a football analogy from way back, this is kind of like the freedom bowl massacre...if you didn’t know for sure about the coaches future before the game, you certainly knew after the game....problem was coach Akers lasted 2 more seasons after the massacre. Everybody in Austin knew Akers had lost the team after that debacle..... ....the big difference here is the margin of victory in today’s game did not completely reflect the fact this game was over at halftime, and this loss is only the 3rd or 4th worse loss this year. This is an easy decision for cdc, or should be.
  9. Can we decline our invitation?
  10. Without the refs trying to help us by calling fouls on OSU, the margin would easily be over 30.
  11. 11 fg in last 20 minutes...hard to win, to say the least.
  12. I think you’re gonna be proven correct. Refs. Should be interesting 2nd half
  13. Only if the beating continues. If OSU let’s up and wins by less than 10, it might be in doubt.
  14. Is this one of those games where the team ahead messes around, fouls a bunch, etc. and the final score is in the 10 to 15 point range? Or can OSU do us a solid and make it obvious the first half was not a fluke?
  15. U mean just for the 2nd half, or the final score?
  16. On pace to tie 2nd worst loss ever, a 44 point loss to aggy, many years ago, and we were favored?
  17. F this. Get out the record books..,,worst loss ever?
  18. Hey, I guess we just didn’t want to be there today.
  19. Shooting even worse than the other night, when we made 4 fg last 10 minutes
  20. I think we’re gonna find out a lot more about this in a few hours. Team has heard how great they are all week, and we scored 4 field goals in the last 10 minutes the other night. OSU might have the potential to outshoot us 20 to 2 from the line. I give us a 50/50 chance to win the game.
  21. Surprising to me, I discovered the other day that Shaka's three years remaining on his deal was among the very few that had only three years left or less. There was at least one, Self, who had less than three years remaining. I think it is more about the job security than the amount of $ per year. Based on my projection of winning one game in the NCAA tourney, his agent should be able to get 6 years at some school, any school, for at least $2.5 million per year, which would get Shaka off the hot seat. He doesn't want to be on the hot seat all year.
  22. How about just being in the conversation with another team for best team in the state?
  23. Anybody in media ask Shaka about his actions in the tech game vs. the refs. Vs his in action in the OU game? 29 to 2. Never heard of it before. Will probably never hear of it again.
  24. So now ESPN agrees with my fantasy prediction. Now I saw that CBS sports commentary giving Shaka the credit for the streak. It all comes down to two games. Must win vs. OSU and must win the first NCAA game. The national media is just dying to give all the credit to Shaka, to build him up...and guess what...it can work. Cdc is gonna say no to extension. His agent and the national media will have Shaka convinced he deserves a heckuva lot better than the 3 years remaining at Texas. With that, I think our chances of beating OSU are not much better than they were against OU. 4 field goals in the last 10 minutes, hot shooting is over,. This game is a coin flip.
