Texas Recruiting Notes 2021
This class is gone. Urban will have to fill holes with grad transfers. Or we keep Tom and are fucked.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2022 - Idiotic Slapfights Unrelated To 2022 Recruiting
And now that we've waited so long, there's probably very little chance of getting the Texas 2022 recruits back in the fold. tOSU has all the momentum and is building the cohesion that Tommy should have been building around Ewers when he had the chance.

Urban Meyer or bust
I think the reference up thread to Sam leaving, and Texas moving on to Card or JQJ. Might be skipping a step.

Tom "the turtle" Herman [Lame Duck or greatest 5d chess player ever?]
Absolutely it is a coaching issue. That's why I hate the narrative that talent comes to Texas to die. The problem is not "Texas." The problem is Charlie Strong and Tom Herman. Let's get a real coach and then see what happens to talent at Texas.

What will happen to Herman if we make the CCG but lose?
It should depend on who his replacement should be. If Urban will come, you hire Urban and fire Tom. If Urban will not come, then you probably keep Tom.

COVID-19 vaccine discussion
I have been mulling the short-term and long-term risks of getting an mRNA vaccine vs. not getting an mRNA vaccine. Without a vaccine, given my age/risk profile, I have a very low risk of severe covid infection in the short term. With a vaccine, I probably have a very low risk of severe adverse vaccination reaction in the short term. Both options carry short term risks, but on balance, I feel safer getting the vaccine. My evaluation of long-term risks is similar. Covid presents unknown long-term risks, including cardiac risks. The vaccine also presents completely unknown long-term risks. On balance, I lean slightly towards favoring the long-term risks of a covid infection, but this is mostly a blind guess. As the vaccines become available, I expect to see a lot of discussion and analysis of potential long-term risks and will be paying close attention to this subject before making a decision. If I had to guess, I will eventually decide that all risks are sufficiently low and will get vaccinated to have peace of mind about returning to normal.

Ewers or Bust- Lord have mercy I’m bout to bust

Do it!

Urban Meyer or bust
I intended to root again us @ okie lite, but when the game started, I couldn't do it. I found myself just watching, not really cheering one way or the other.

OUT: Covid-19, IN: E-Boliva
M-O-O-N, that spells "we're all fucked."

Texas AD Chris Del Conte
I bet he got a ton of pressure from Herman to tweet SOMETHING about football, so CDC spent 45 minutes writing and rewriting a tweet to sound vaguely positive without offering too much support.

Urban Meyer or bust
It's definitely Tom. Probably a PR firm hired by him or his agent.
-
Urban Meyer or bust
He definitely shouldn't be on orange fans, where they rely on unnamed sources. That's why I like Surly and Twitter -- we have NAMED SOURCES, whether it be hornfromdallas, RapGameLarry, or even porta potty girl.

Yeah, i whiffed on that one. Too angry at the turtle I guess.

I figured we'd see a loooot of shitty football this year due to shortened training camps. Not so much. Clemson, Bama, and Ohio State still look dominant. And we still look mediocre. I don't see where shortened camps have changed anything, honestly.
-
Urban Meyer or bust
That's the most regarded negative recruiting I've ever heard of. "Right now, Texas has a piece of shit fraud as a head coach, but reports say they are about to hire one of the greatest football coaches of a generation. You wouldn't want play for that team, right?

Oh shit that's savage

Urban Meyer or bust
Fuck the outsiders and their myopic focus on being "good" at "football" or "beating the other team." They need to see the bigger picture here

Urban Meyer or bust
Sounds like he didn't answer the question at all.

Texas opens as a 28 point favorite @ Kansas
We will easily score on our first possession. We will then play like shit until there are 5 minutes left in the game. At that point, Sam is going to will the team to a close game. We will either lose on a late turnover or win on a late score. It's a fluid situation.
