aggy will not play us despite a good chance of beating us. SEC won't chance it.
Playing KY sounds appropriate if you know what I mean.

Looks like a sellout crowd. Not very realistic.

Sorry, I don't subscribe to the latest $9.95 fan fiction you seem to. Duvernay and Jones are saying they'd play in any bowl and they think Collin Johnson will as well. And that's with Senior Bowl invites already accepted. So there's 3 seniors who don't seem to play to your narrative.
I'm not subscribing to anything the $9.95 er's. It's what I'm seeing with my own eyes. The meltdowns on the O-line and resulting unsportsmanlike stuff. The looks of disgust on the players faces say it all when they are done with a 3 and out on offense or they lose their jocks on defense. Mensa in his own press conferences trying to spin what we all see and others can chime in with other stuff, but it's evident this team has given up on the coaches.

I always love the "we should refuse a bowl" talk if we lose. Yeah, those seniors who will never suit up for Texas again sure would love to ride off into the sunset with a loss to Tech in a 2/3 full DKR on a cold, post Turkey Day instead of a bowl game where they get more time with their teammates. If we get a bowl invite, we're going. No one will force you to watch it.
Most of this team checked out a couple of weeks ago including the seniors. Think about going from thinking you were going to possibly play in the playoff or at least the Sugar Bowl to the Whatever Shit Bowl. The letdown is already obvious and going to a bowl and then losing that game will be insult to injury.

Nope because he is the one that extended Herman’s contract for winning the Sugar Bowl. Don’t get why a school like with Texas with so much money acts like a bunch of cunts afraid they may lose their coach to another school. If this shit show goes further down hill because of this, CDC is responsible and needs to go too.
I agree. Most business don't hand out bonuses or extend contracts right out of the gate based on immediate performance. They might throw the employee a bone or two, but not big pay increases, bonuses or other high dollar incentives. They will wait to see if the employee has medium to long term promise and then start throwing those incentives at him/her. Why in the football world this has to be different is beyond comprehension. Three to four years should be the evaluation period and we should be in a position to dictate when the rewards are handed out. And would be coaches who take the job at UT (and this goes for any other top tier money program) should know if they perform well after that three years, they will get compensated nicely and then the sky is the limit as long as the performance is there.

I recall Notre Dame refused a bowl invite when Charlie Weiss was fired. They were 6-6.
Going to a bowl game at 6-6 will do this program no good. You will not hear one thing positive leading up to the game and during the game. All you will hear is Texas was expecting to be playing in one of the New Year's Day bowls and had a real chance to be in the playoff. And then the list of problems from our inept play calling to our defense would be cited over and over again as a reason we are playing in the Whatever Shit Bowl. In fact it might do more harm than good with what recruits we are able to retain during the next few weeks leading up the dead period and then in January when final decisions are made.
If we lose to Tech, Mensa should follow up the following week with his staff shake ups and start the rebuild instead of two or three more weeks of extra reps under coordinators and other staff who hopefully not be there when spring ball starts. Or at least shouldn't be there in their current capacities.

Im not so sure about that.
Maybe a tad of BS I threw out there. But the way this team has played in the last two games, the only "W's" on our record to date we might still hang on to if we played those games again, might be Rice and La. Tech and they would probably be much tighter games.
Mensa has lost this team and the fan base.

This team is so checked out that they will get absolutely pantsed by any team in any bowl. Let this fucking season just die after the eyes on Friday.
Yep. If we lose to Tech, we'll be going into a bowl game at 6-6. Which means if we lose in the bowl game, we will have a losing record.
There is absolutely no upside to going to a bowl with a .500 record in these circumstances. True we went to a bowl with a 6-6 record, but the circumstances were much different such as we actually won two of our last three games and it was Mensa's first season and we showed some upsides even in the loses through the balance of the season save the Maryland debacle. If we lose to Tech, we'd be going to the Whatever Shit Bowl with a three game losing streak, so the heck with chancing that.
-
If we lose to Tech, we should decline a bowl invite because we could play UTSA and get beat by the Roadrunners in the Whatever Shit Bowl.
Tom has lost the lockeroom and no telling how many would decide to sit out which seems to be a growing trend with those with NFL aspirations along with those who might go ahead and give the transfer portal a shot.

Surprised this hasn't gotten an update.
Which one of you Surly smart asses is in charge of this?

The reason the offense has sucked is the unique defenses they are seeing.
WTF?
He said that? Wow! Denial is just not a River in Egypt.
If I were CDC I’d fire him by 1:00PM just for making that idiotic statement. I hope it burns up the internets and social media. -

Tom is either ignoring any feedback that requires change or is only comfortable with a pack of "yes men" around him. Neither will accomplish shit for the offseason when he'll be forced to make staff changes.
Some Mensa types have an issue with thinking their shit doesn’t stink. It’s either when they are almost to the point of no return or way past it, they ask for help. Others will just refuse to concede to their critics or admit a weakness and go down with the ship.

Notice how at first he tried to directly blame the players. Then realizing, how that was going to play out, he corrected himself to say that they as coaches didn't get the players ready to execute their wonder scheme properly.
His first response revealed his true thoughts though.
If the players gave him a fuck you yesterday, wait until Friday. This might be ugly against another dumpster fire program. I wonder if the transfer portal gets active this week?

I think the defense will take a big step forward next season with the experience they have accrued this season. We will also have a senior Ehlinger behind an experienced offense line. We probably won’t win the big 12 but they should win at least 8 games.
Remember in August when every one on this board was convinced this team would win at least 9-10 games?
We should have won our ninth game yesterday. Mensa and his sidekick Orlan-o created this shit storm which caused us to lose at least four of the games which would have made that ninth victory possible.

Seems like a lot of the $9.95 are directly or indirectly saying that Herman should be fired.
When establishment Fuck You Chip Brown looks like he agrees with the majority of the $9.95 crowd, it’s safe to say we have a problem.

The team hasn’t quit. Baylor and ISU are simply better teams and it should come with no surprise that we lost these games.
No, this team quit on him and it showed it’s ugly head with the ejection in the 4th. Tom has officially lost the locker room although it was kind of unofficial much earlier in the season.

Lol, no.
Lol, yes! I’d bet on it. This game tells me the team has mailed it in on this coaching staff. Sam is playing not to further whatever injury he’s hiding. Our O line is dogshit and the whole defense sucks donkey balls.

Nothing beats Chaminade upsetting Virginia back in the 80's . College basketball was so much fun to watch during that era.
Oh, and they beat the Horns in 2012 in their tourney. Go figure.
