    That's not how this works. Once you're in, you're in.

    I was thinking that but I think we let Mack coach against Oregon 

    Therman is gone. The thread will be comparatively quiet now through the end of next week given the holiday, bowl game, and tOSU's first playoff game. Stay focused. BDE.

    My ideal scenario is Meyer as HC and Sark After Dark as OC/HCiW. Probably not gonna happen given that’s Sark’s role now at Bama but a boy can dream.

    No, HCIW is Lincoln Riley’s son. You must have missed the earlier BDE outline.

    mostly true. I think I said “of course not,” though. 

    You don't know anything other than that your knuckles will be knee deep in your sphincter by mid-January.

    Haven’t been in this thread much in the last week or on the shag much at all with work and deer hunting.

    Anything happening other than that racist fuckstick, Daniel Figurelli, a former PwC Houston intern, coming in here and trolling around? Any news on urban or are we still in a HOLD pattern?

    Yes, holding pattern. Sarkisian was a possibility, then he was not. Not that he's relevant to the BDE UM or bust thread. Anyways, since you were recently in a deer blind any news you care to share?

    I texted someone who knows more about this shit than TFB times 100. He sent me a one word response to Steve fucking Sarkisian being a real candidate for Texas: “Nope”

    Good. That bitch can go virtue signal and bawl all over himself on a practice squad somewhere. Fuck that waste of talent.  

    Could you, uh, ask said person about Corch Irving's inclinations? 

  8. USC may can Helton after all. Doubt it, but there's starting to be some noise. 

    https://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/story/2020-12-22/usc-football-clay-helton-mike-bohn-struggles

    With every frustrating finish came the same flimsy assurance.

    USC was close, Clay Helton would say. Better days were always just one season away.

    When the Trojans fell to 5-7 in 2018, their first finish below-.500 in nearly two decades, Helton explained in a statement that “the best is yet to be.” When USC was humiliated at the Holiday Bowl a year later, the coach promised it was “on the cusp of being great.” And by last Friday, when a crushing defeat to an inferior Oregon team cost the Trojans a Pac-12 title, Helton assured again in that familiar, rosy tone that USC was just “on the edge of winning championships.”

    But after five full seasons under his care, it’s clear the Trojans are no closer to realizing that potential under Helton, who, at 18-13 in his last three seasons, could soon find himself on the precipice of unemployment.

    “He’s well aware of the expectations and the commitments we’ve made,” Bohn told The Los Angeles Times in February.

    The pandemic upended that evaluation process, seemingly guaranteeing Helton a pardon for whatever unfolded in 2020. But in the wake of last Friday’s defeat, that no longer seems so assured.

    On paper, it’s hard to argue with a 5-1 finish to a season packed with unprecedented challenges. The Trojans didn’t start their campaign until November and still won their first five games for the first time since 2006. They won the South division for the first time since 2017 by mounting three comebacks in the final minute. They fell short of a fourth in the Pac-12 title game by just a single possession.

    But that’s a particularly rosy perspective, one that ignores some important context. While the Trojans might indeed have been a score away from a Pac-12 title, they also spent most of the season on the brink of unraveling.

    They dug early holes in nearly every game, only to claw their way back just in time. It took an onside kick, a tipped touchdown catch, a long kick return, and three amazing final drives from quarterback Kedon Slovis just to keep USC afloat. Those three hard-fought victories came against teams with a 5-13 overall record.

    With the most talent in the conference and the easiest schedule, USC should’ve coasted through its shortened season, on its way to a Pac-12 title. Instead, it repeatedly shot itself in the foot.

    Helton has vowed more than once to address that pervasive lack of discipline, but over the last two seasons especially, there’s been little sign of progress in that regard. USC went from giving away 67.5 penalty yards per game in 2019, worst in the Pac-12, to giving away 71 per game in 2020, also worst in the Pac-12. Against Oregon, nine penalties played a large part in USC’s undoing.

    A consistently ineffective run game was another constant issue. In each of Helton’s five seasons, USC’s rushing yards per game has declined precipitously, culminating this season in the Pac-12’s worst ground game at 97 yards per game.

    That’s not to say there weren’t some signs of progress this season. The defense took a major step forward under new coordinator Todd Orlando, while the rest of USC’s defensive assistants have had the intended effect, bringing a more physical, imposing attitude to the entire unit. Special teams, under new coordinator Sean Snyder, are no longer a disaster. And recruiting bounced back from the 64th-ranked class last year to the 11th-ranked one this year, with room to climb even higher if No. 1 overall recruit Korey Foreman pledges to USC early next month.

    “You want to see movement forward, you want to see progression, and that’s where we’re at,” Helton said on the “Trojans Live” radio show Monday night. “We’re on an upward trend right now.”

    But for all his promises of progress, the Trojans are still just on the cusp ... on the brink ... on the edge of being the program Helton vowed it would be.

    Close, yet still so far away.

    TFB

    You’ve already seen some senior Longhorns take advantage of the Covid prompted extra year of eligibility.

    I am told that Sam Ehlinger is also considering returning for a final year.

    I asked the source why and was told that Sam wants to go out on a better note, “I think he just wants to leave Texas with a different story”.

    As far as whether he will stay or not, I’m told the staff has not been informed yet but was told Herman would certainly like him back.

    He knows.

    Ive consistently said the opposite of what the 9.95ers have said. Try to pay better attention. 

    Break it up you two. Caddox, get your ass back to the deer blind and get us some better information. Thanks.

    I'm having a bit of a time deciphering this as well. CTJ is normally pretty damn serious, no matter his tone. I believe he's trying to say all of this Kelly and Mullen talk is just slight of hand, distracting us from the fact that Urban is a done deal. I just can't detect his level of belief in it. 

    I think he's mocking us.

    If blowU opens up and they somehow land Urbs while we're left holding our dicks..


    I'm quitting football forever, not worth my time anymore.

    Not sure you’d have anything to hold with that LDE. Save it for the day crew. 
     

    UM or bust!

    I literally spend an hour or more a day fast swiping through complete bullshit about McRibs and shitty BBQ with guns next to them and boots and other random shit.  While I do have someone I know that has internal connections through CDC I’ve never posted a thing about that and bit my tongue.  This latest came from complete left field but I trust the source completely.  No promises here.  I’m no troll. I really hope this is wrong.  You can hate me either way but I’m no futureman.  Just passing along what I’ve heard instead of McDonald’s pics, Katy Perry bullshit or other random tweets from Urbans wife that mean nothing.  

    You’re wrong. And besides, Shelly’s tweets mean something to me.

    I feel like some of the nite crew has taken PTO through the end of the year and here we are trying to get by with those that remain.

    Fuck that, im a company man, save it for the summer. BDE get fid ot tom and get someone (Urban) who gives a shit and holds people accountable in here....damnit

    In fairness, much of the night crew has been pulling double shifts and been solid hammered since the first week of December. We'll get back into the swing of things after the new year. Stay tuned. BDE.

  15. Boys and girls, Urban Meyer is not fucking corching in the NFL. I have posted this before, but with FCB’s latest update, it bears reposting. Go to minute 26. FCB also speculated on his podcast that UM may consider the NFL because those jobs are less demanding. L O fucking L. 
     

    What I do find somewhat encouraging is that rat bastard even posting about UM. He was the first to “break” the “leaning towards no” story and that Therman was staying through 2021. Now he’s backpedaling like a chimpanzee on a unicycle at the circus. The fact he is talking about UM is good. Even if the information came from sucking off some homeless bastard camped outside Belmont.
