  1. I know a guy who had success running the offense under Urban, and it just so happens he's soon to be looking for a job.
  2. Here's a badass thought that I think we can all get behind: Part of me wants Sam to come back next year because I love the guy. But part of me wants him to move on so we don't risk unrest from our younger QBs and QB recruits that we have lined up. WHAT IF... at the end of this year Sam realizes the only way he'll have an NFL career is if he takes a Taysom Hill role, so he decides to come back next year and play TE/HB for us to show NFL scouts he can play that role. We could obviously also line him up in shotgun for short yardage and goal line situations. That would give us the best of both worlds: keep our best "team" guy around to stabilize things with our new coach (fingers crossed) without disrupting the lineage of great QBs we have lined up. Thoughts?
  3. It has been mentioned in passing a few times on this board, but I'm shocked Herman's "Family Fridays" haven't received more attention/scrutiny from the national media. I remember thinking it was a cool idea when Herman first got here. My thought was "Hell yea, the players are going to love playing for this guy which will make us dominant!". But now here we are 3.5 years later and we have a sufficient sample size to conclude that something Herman is doing just flat out isn't working. Yet somehow no one has focused in on the fact that our guys play fucking wiffle ball and freeze tag the day before every single game instead of working on their gameplan. The NCAA already limits the amount of time teams are allowed to practice each week, and we choose to purposely handicap ourselves by throwing out one of those limited days of practice? Fuck you, Tom.
  4. It's absolutely worth it. Think about it; we can either hand the team off to an "up and comer" right now while the team is in shambles, or we could hand it off to an "up and comer" in 3-4 years after Urban gets us back up to the top. I'm taking option B every single time. Look at how things turned out for OU when Stoops handed things off to Riley while the deck was stacked, or for OSU when Urban handed things off to Ryan Day. Compare those two situations to how things turned out for us when we passed our Charlie Strong diarrhea soup off to Herman. No brainer.
  5. Guys, guys, guys... There's too much arguing going on about this situation, when in reality we should all be united to rejoice one simple fact: the CDC declaration is going to piss off a lot of the players which will make them play even worse, which will get Herman out of here even faster. Whether you agree with his actual decision or not, CDC did us all a solid.
  6. Let's not forget that if the 2-pt conversion at the end of regulation had failed, we still would have had a chance at another onside kick and try to set up a last second field goal. I know recovering an onside kick is rare, but we did it two weeks ago, and we damn near almost did it again this week. Like many others have already said, I was screaming "Go for 2!" at my TV as soon as we scored. I can semi-understand him not going for it at the end of 2OT, because that would have been a "win or lose" play. But at the end of regulation, it would have been "win, or take another shot at winning", and Tom is a pussy for not playing those odds.
  7. I'm hoping that was just a "designated survivor" type of situation. Leave 1 QB at home with a plane waiting on standby just in case Sam and/or Casey tested positive after traveling on the team plane?
  8. I live in Nashville, so I'm pretty well-informed with what happened. This whole thing is essentially the same thing that happened with the CDC story that went viral a few weeks ago. The one where many headlines read "CDC just quietly updated their statistics..." when in reality those statistics had been publicly available for months. In this Nashville story, the local Fox affiliate ran a story last week showing emails between the Mayor's office and the Health Department from earlier this summer in which they discussed hiding data that proved local bars and restaurants were NOT responsible for a significant number of COVID cases. This obviously upset the hundreds (maybe thousands) of restaurant/bar owners that still aren't allowed to open to full capacity, and it caused the story to go national. Well, the problem with the local Fox story is that the Mayor's office did end up releasing that data a few days after those emails earlier this summer. So, the data that the local Fox station shared is real, and the emails about hiding that data were real, but the fact that the data is still currently being hidden is the part that was incorrect.
  9. Maybe it's just me, but I love to mask debate. I usually mask debate right before I fall asleep each night, and I mask debate as soon as I wake up each morning. I mask debate on my way to work, and I typically mask debate while I'm at work. I sometimes even mask debate in the shower. I love mask debating.
  10. So what you're saying is; mouth breathers are going to kill us all? Just another reason to avoid College Station.
  11. This. It's gotta sting to have the roid nips without at least having the roid body to go with them.
  12. That dude is a constant embarrassment to UT with the things he says.
  13. To be fair, we did win that coin toss. It's knowing what to do once you win a coin toss that's hard.
  14. To be fair, though: our offense was pretty freaking legit under Gilbert. I'd take him back in a heartbeat. Imagine how many yards Bijan would have in that offense.
  15. Not one team circled Baylor on their schedule as a big-time game to get excited for heading into this season. Thirteen teams circled Texas on their schedule. I'm not saying this totally excuses why Herman has looked like shit compared to Rhule this year, but it is at least part of the reason.
  16. Does anyone know if Charlie Brewer got an offer from Texas? Or if he has any family ties to Texas? I'm anxious to watch the game and find out.
  17. The crazy thing is: just two seasons ago we were battling for bowl eligibility in late November, and just 3 seasons ago we didn't even make a bowl. Like much of the fan base, I'm still not completely satisfied with where we're at as a program, but those two stats put things into perspective a little bit.
