    Well, I guess this season is officially a write off now, even in a historically bad division. Maybe we should just call ourselves the Dallas (sort of) Football Team for the rest of the year.
  2. Tired Horn
    Nothing quite like getting your ass kicked by a team that doesn't even have a name.
  3. Tired Horn
    How about that NFC East. I guess it'll come down to who wants it less.
  4. Tired Horn
    And just to officially jinx us, for all our flaws, how does this team not win the NFC East? The Giants are dog meat now, the Washington Football Team is about as exciting as its name, and Carson Wentz has turned into a pumpkin (I guess the Eagles saw that coming with their draft picks). So basically, all we have to do is stagger to the finish line upright. I'm not saying we're Super Bowl material. But the NFC East? Them's some easy pickins.
  5. Tired Horn
    Meh. It might help Dallas make the playoffs a little more often, but it's hard to get too excited about adding another solidly mediocre team, at best, to the playoffs.

    This is the part I just don't get. Post-havoc, Shaka has simply defined no functional approach to winning basketball. WTF. How is that even possible? What does he tell himself in the recesses of his own mind when he watches this team play? Does he really not know how to do this? Some coaches aren't ultimately successful for a variety of reasons, but it's generally not because they fail open at one of the very first tasks any coach at this level simply must be capable of. It's like we hired a plumber who refuses to disconnect pipes.

    It's possible we're being a little unfair to Greg Davis.
  8. Tired Horn
    Sadly, however, we all know someone who left Richmond for Austin.

    Maybe we've been thinking about this all wrong. Maybe Shaka deserves a mulligan for five years because being a college basketball coach is hard. It's even harder if, heaven forbid, you have to play a couple of teams that are considered to actually be good. And we'd all surely agree that this Horns team would be doing better if they played in my neighborhood Pee-Wee league. So maybe we should just thank Shaka for all his effort in such an impossible situation. After all, it's not like we're paying him a bunch of money or anything. Hmm... Or we could just say "fuck him" and hire a coach who can field a team that isn't a never-ending embarrassment.

    You're either a truly dedicated troll or an imbecile.
  11. Tired Horn
    It is into some pretty rare territory.
  12. Tired Horn
    But what about that awesome victory over a 14-12 Purdue team that he was touting? Surely 5 years with Shaka was worth it for that.
  13. Tired Horn
    AT this point, I'll take anyone who can coach a watchable game of basketball. Hopefully the AD has slightly higher standards.
  14. Tired Horn
    Yeah, and we were the one that wanted it less. A whole lot less.
  15. Tired Horn
    Well, to be fair, negative growth is a kind of development. Shaka seems to have some ability at fostering that.
  16. Tired Horn
    Maybe just being in over his head is the bad luck. It happens to everyone not qualified for the job they have. At times, though, I still marvel at Shaka. He made his bones with the whole Havoc thing, then decided that wasn't the best system for maxing out at Texas. Okay. Whatever. But he's literally replaced his signature style with... nothing. It's like he picked up "The Idiot's Guide to Basketball" and took stray ideas here and there that he subsequently deploys at random. That's why our play has no rhythm or flow or discernible signs of growth. We just mix and match random components of successful basketball without any higher brain function to integrate them into a style. That's also why we're so excruciating to watch. It's like watching a musical where no one knows how to dance, there's no choreography anyway, and the music is off key. WTF?
  17. Tired Horn
    That's because of the stupid extension they gave him.
  18. Tired Horn
    All that is well and good. But ultimately, a coach is judged on wins and losses. At some point, that has to catch up with Shaka.
  19. Tired Horn
    How about this as an alternate universe nightmare: Shaka coaching our football team and Charlie coaching our basketball team.
  20. Tired Horn
    I think judgements may be skewed by the length of tenure for each. We've had to sit through the same tired, lifeless crap from Shaka for five years now. It's simply excruciating at this point, while memories of Charlie have begun to fade. But if Charlie had stumbled through five years at Texas, with quite plausibly never having had a winning season, the disgust with him would have been white hot.
  21. Tired Horn
    I would have to disagree. Charlie's actually worse by a bit, but wasn't that an amazing pair of hires by Patterson.
  22. Tired Horn
    Sadly for us, looking coached at all would be a step up.
  23. Tired Horn
    Shaka knows precisely what's wrong--the other teams are scoring more points than we are. That's why he's a "brilliant" coach. He just hangs around waiting to see if that changes. Besides which he doesn't really care--he gets paid whether we win or not.
  24. Tired Horn
    You seem to be missing the whole year 5 thing, the associated sustained lack of success, and the repeatedly unwatchable nature of the team under Shaka.
  25. Tired Horn
    And by the way, we didn't just lose to West Virginia. We lost to them 97 -59. Figuring out what kind of shit we are is easy, folks.
