    It's hard to tell, but honest to god, I'm sitting here wondering how in the fuck Texas lost to Baylor.   The bears look not good.   Also notice Baylor is always getting in that just after the whistle hit.  Looks shady and I have no rooting interest one way or the other.

    We lost because we mailed that game in very early.    Coaching went to mailbox first followed by our offensive line, etc.

    Oh yeah, for sure, my comment wasn’t so

    much a disagreement with yours but a furtherance. I don’t think too highly of a search firm hire for a huge, highly resourced and desirable workplace like UT athletics. They clearly bought into the hype. 
     

    As for the consensus message board fan hype for Charlie, my memory is that fans were pretty excited...until his coordinator hires. Watson more so than Bedford was seen as a comfort hire and a lack of foresight understanding of what was required in the Big 12 (and college football). Nobody was excited about Bedford, either, but we (incorrectly) trusted Charlie to make sure the defense was in good shape. 
     

    But that’s just my fallible memory. 

    I think you got it right about fan hype.   Charlie also had the Florida bullet point on his resume as the DC during for those great Florida teams in the 2000's which might have overshadowed any short comings he had a Louisville. Of course his success at Louisville was helped by playing in the Big East.

    My recollection is that there weren't a lot of great choices at the time, certainly no obvious ones.  And,  as noted here, none of the potential choices has exactly set the world on fire.  And there's no evidence they would have duplicated what success they have had (Fleck) elsewhere in Austin.

    This is mine too.   We hired Charlie because he was the media darling which the ESPNs and other media latch on to as the next up and coming coach who deserves a shot at big name program.  We rinsed and repeated it with Tom as far as the same media driven hype helping to drive the process.  We will know by this time next year if Tom will have his tenure ended similar to Charlie’s.

    New numbers are out for next realignment

    Well shit I didn't do that right. Sorry.

    Calallen dropping to 4A......    Should be interesting scheduling non district if we get put into one of these five team districts.

    It will only be a two year drop from what I understand.  Enrollment at the high school will significantly increase by 2022 realignment.

    Calallen has some hot moms #csb ill probably go to the game. Boerne Champion has a good qb. should be a good game. ill be sitting with the cheer moms 

    And the hot moms know their football too.   I think some of them hold their sons feet to the fire more than their dads especially during the off season and summer work. 

    And no pics of my better half.     BC does indeed have a good QB as did Tivy.   It's part of their systems in the Hill Country and we've seen it almost every time we play BC, Tivy or Alamo Heights which we always see one of those three in the playoffs.   It will be contrast between a good pass vs run offense.  We have three rushers with over 1000 yards in rushing.   One of them has two straight 200 yards plus games in a row here in the playoffs.  

  6. I don't know who in their right minds would want the Arkansas job who already has a good gig elsewhere.

    If we think our situation is a dumpster fire with Mensa and our now former DC,   Arkansas is dumpster fire full of burning shit.

    Herman can look to fire whoever he wants. But until he looks in the mirror and makes changes with the person he is seeing then this is all just window dressing.

    This!   I mean next season is where he makes his employment  a long term deal at Texas vs losing his job because of his arrogance and becoming radioactive in the coaching world to the point he'd be lucky to get a coordinator job at a mid major or even an FCS job.

    Look, firing is a good first step. I would have preferred drawn and quartered, or perhaps impaled and hung on the stadium for all to see.

    How about a good old fashioned tar and feathering.   I've only seen that on the internet and movies.

    I didn't believe MENSA had the balls to clean house, but he's doing it.

    This!   I'll give credit where it's due.

     

    But.... Full credit is issued with whom he  chooses  as replacements and then performance next fall.   If they all produce the same chit show as we just finished, then they should all be gone including Tom.

  10. Calallen beats Brenham 47-32. Cal puts up 598 yards on stat sheets with 530 being rushing yards. Did the same in 600 yard effort against Kerrville Tivy last week. Next Saturday we get Tivy’s district mate in Boerne Champion .

  11. It was, I doubt there will be as much optimism to start next season like there was this year. Silver lining is I’m ok with this happening if it brings the necessary staff changes. 

    I agree with this 100%. I rather see us have prove the media and others wrong vs the shit show which just concluded. Keeps the entitlement crap down too which was like herpes in Austin at the end of the Mack era.
