  1. 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?
  2. 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.
  3. Good discussion. I've wondered that from time to time.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Elway is just messed up in terms of what he thinks he can get away with at the quarterback position.
  9. 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.
  10. Good point.
  11. Shaka anywhere but here would be sight for sore eyes.
  12. 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.
  13. Man, that's depressing.
  14. Too many "judgment calls" not panning out leads to a new coach. Hopefully one with better judgment.
  15. Lots of positions looked confused under Charlie.
  16. So... Should we be thanking Kliff Kingsbury for going to Arizona? Or Arizona for hiring him? Or Tech for firing him in the first place? Or Patrick Mahomes for making him seem fashionable by association?
  17. Sadly, this is a realistic potential concern. Oh well, hope for the best, but never forget that we are in The House That Jerry Built.
  18. It's best to not be too optimistic about the Cowboys. Maybe it will all magically come together some year, but this is still the House That Jerry Built. I'll believe in Moore when he delivers and not one second before.
  19. Well there's a terrifying thought. On a completely unrelated point, I read a Cowboy-related trivia factoid today. When the fucking Eagles won the Super Bowl last year, that made the NFC East the only division where every team has won at least one Super Bowl.
  20. He's more or less at 0.500 on the winning percentage and hasn't produced a team anyone's been excited about in four years. So the debate over mediocrity seems settled. If we're moving on to the next question, it's certainly not how good he is.
  21. Not really a meaningful point when Jason has 8 years as a HC and Sean has 2.
  22. They didn't luck into it. They have a strong, established offensive identity and a track record of success with QBs that makes them attractive to the candidates out there. Hopefully, Herman understands that, unlike Mack and Charlie.
  23. Yeah, that's who I want to turn to for a credible analysis of Saudi Arabia--Jay Fucking Paterno. There are moments in life that are beyond satire.
  24. Then it won't work. Jerry ain't firing Jason.
