  1. How about this as an alternate universe nightmare: Shaka coaching our football team and Charlie coaching our basketball team.
  2. 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.
  3. I would have to disagree. Charlie's actually worse by a bit, but wasn't that an amazing pair of hires by Patterson.
  4. Sadly for us, looking coached at all would be a step up.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Uh... no. Standing amid the dreary ashes of the men's basketball program at Texas, no one is asking for a coach who can overnight make us top 10, Big XII champions, or a Final Four team. We'd accept someone who can simply, IN YEAR FUCKING FIVE, field a team that doesn't look freakishly unfamiliar with the basics of successful basketball. I don't think that's asking too much. I think any number of coaches not named Shaka could accomplish that.
  9. They do need to learn how to play in the Big XII. They just need to learn it from someone else.
  10. It really is kind of amazing. How can Shaka be this bad? Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.
  11. Why stop there? 12 was in easy reach today.
  12. Man, we are so far past that point. It's year 5 and our product looks like finger paint from a bunch of blind-folded kindergarden kids who were force fed Quaaludes. God almighty. How does a program survive being like this?
  13. Yep. We're a WTF offense. It's not built to succeed, so no matter who's playing we inevitably have these games where it's just indescribably excruciating to watch us. It's so random yet relentlessly ineffective.
  14. I wasn't even excited about winning it last year.
  15. Maybe that's Shaka's plan---play such a dreary, unwatchable brand of basketball that, after a while, the powers-that-be can't even bring themselves to think about our men's basketball team. The extensions will just roll out on auto pilot.
  16. I like that. All it really needs is a "fucking" in front of it.
  17. Congratulations to Captain Crash. He was always one of my favorite Cowboys.
  18. You're just not taking the long view. If Jason had been allowed to complete his twenty-year process, we'd have been a process-oriented juggernaut.* * Not that we'd actually have won a title, but we could explain why we hadn't better than anyone.
  19. Yep. That's pretty hard to defend.
  20. Yep. The more accurate appropriate comparison would be Shaka and Charlie Strong
  21. Give him some credit. He might just stumble into a sack instead.
  22. Kind of amusing that Derrick Henry wound up with the highest quarterback rating in the game.
  23. Because the passing game hasn't had to do that much. They can run and Baltimore has gagged the game away something fierce--3 turnovers and 3 failed 4th down attempts on the Titans side of the field.
  24. It's kind of shocking how bad LJ looks.
  25. Remember that famous line about nuclear war? "The living would envy the dead." That's kind of how I feel when watching Shaka's teams in those all too frequent moments where they're misfiring on all cylinders. Its so fucked up yet never even remotely interesting.
