  1. He's better than nothing, but I certainly wouldn't be enthused if I were a Skins fan.
  2. He's both. Shaka is a frustratingly mediocre coach whose teams play ugly basketball and who will eventually run UT basketball into the ground if given enough time.
  3. You don't want the havoc, huh? The only havoc I want to see at this point is Shaka being pelted with rancid cheese as he flees with a big bag of Texas money hoisted over his shoulders.
  4. Nice to see this position group finally settling down after so many years of being a fire drill.
  5. Great season until the end. Awesome defense coupled with the typical conservative Akers offense that couldn't squeeze out just one more field goal, let alone a TD, in the Cotton Bowl. That fucking punt call...
  6. Yeah, Havoc. What a joke. I think he's earned a new title. Anyone have any suggestions? Off the top of my head., I've got "Constipation" or "The Heartbreak of Psoriasis." Possibly "Bone Cancer" if you're looking to capture how excruciating this team is to watch.
  7. Texas basketball is like a boring game of fate. You know you're doomed. You can feel it over your shoulder of every minute of every single game. And it doesn't even have the simple decency to throw you a curve ball every once and a while for variety. It's just a tedious, inevitable collection of crapulence that rolls out its mediocrity with relentless, punishing consistency. Who could possibly want to see this again next year? Hell, who wants to see it for even one more minute? This shit is making me nostalgic for Charlie Strong. At least his ineptitude was occasionally funny.
  8. That's a waste of some perfectly good bourbon.
  9. This one kind of felt like a compilation of Shaka's greatest hits. It had all we've come to know and be numbed by with Texas basketball. Losing a large lead to dump by one in overtime really hits the sweet spot. Being ahead by 3 with 22 seconds left and losing is just extra credit for this guy. Style points, really.
  10. He's been good for a few laughs, so there's that. Shame he can't get his head on straight. But at least there's Taco... Crap.
  11. This sounds like one of those "new" product ads of old: "The new and improved Shaka--he still sucks, but now with a poison pill buyout." It's a shame we bought that. Must have had a catchy jingle.
  12. Guess he was always a mirage. One good NCAA run in 2011, then just good records in a small conference with no particular NCAA results to speak of. Kind of like how Charlie had that big Sugar Bowl win before everyone had figured out Muschamp's Florida offenses were always terrible. That Patterson guy sure knew how to pick em, didn't he?
  13. He's beaten us down with the sheer relentlessness of his mediocrity. He's honed it to a crystalline degree of perfection that numbs the mind.
  14. Good discussion. I've wondered that from time to time.
  15. I just don't see Shaka mass dumping games down the stretch. That's not his style. He muddles along--winning one , losing one, winning one, losing two, winning two, losing one--with a precision that's almost hypnotic in its sheer awfulness. If I had to guess, we wind up in the tournament, where we rapidly get bounced. As well we should.
  16. Hard to argue with any of that. I will note, however, that this brief discussion of why we are so amazingly mediocre is more entertaining than actually watching us play. At least most of the time.
  17. Elway went for a serious QB once--Peyton. Ever since, he's been trying to just get by with marginal prospects or marginal vets. It seems bizarre at this point.
  18. I like to think that Shaka has found his ultimate artistic expression in a distillation of mediocrity so utterly pure that, in another year or two, fans will no longer even be able to remember that Texas has a men's basketball team. He's the Walter White of boring, pointless, "who could possibly care" basketball.
  19. Elway is just messed up in terms of what he thinks he can get away with at the quarterback position.
  20. Nothing like a detailed discussion of exactly how dull, deadpan mediocre we can be and still squeak into the tournament for a quick exit. I guess you can call that a goal. Shaka sure seems to.
  21. Shaka anywhere but here would be sight for sore eyes.
  22. Man, that's even more depressing. Texas Longhorn basketball--sports to watch while slitting your wrists. I don't care how much firing him costs. Do it.
