  1. Doesn't that pretty much sum up this season? Minus the amusing part
  2. BMD's are a whole lot easier to deal with when you win.
  3. (Oh Lord), It's Hard To Be Humble https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pq6hLda3zPk
  4. I had this exact same injury on my left shoulder 1 1/2 years ago.......go have surgery, it does not get better.
  5. Thank you......she was a sweet lady and I was lucky to call her Mom.
  6. My sweet 86 year old Mom passed away Friday, so I was busy with funeral arrangements on Saturday and thankfully did not watch the game.
  7. Yeah, no indictment of Sam though, he said it in a spur-of-the-moment situation, and it happens. Plus he's a young man and well, they are gonna say some things they may later regret. My problem with it is all the "grown-ups" that also said it, based on pretty much the Sugar Bowl game. When we start CONSISTENTLY winning conference titles, start CONSISTENTLY get in the running for the playoffs, and CONSISTENTLY win the games we should, then I might think we're "Back"......been a Longhorn fan since I was 8 (in 1968) and I've seen too much BS to believe hype and big talk. Prove it on the field. With TH, without him, I don't give a damn. Just man up as a Team (coaches and players) and get it done.
  8. Yep......if you have to tell everyone you're a badass......you're probably not one.
  9. Just some light reading from SI......SIAP Forde-Yard Dash: Herman Still Has a Long Way to Go Before Texas Is Back It’s been all about Baylor in the Lone Star State this season, as the Longhorns find themselves in the midst of another middling season. PAT FORDE NOV 19, 2019 Forty names, games, teams and minutiae making news in college football (heart medicine sold separately in Ames, where five out of 10 games have been decided by three points or less): MORE DASH: Tua Injury Fallout | Comeback Stories | Pivotal Division Games FOURTH QUARTER WE HAVE THIS UPDATE: TEXAS IS NOT BACK Beware the fan base that reads too much into a non-playoff bowl victory. When Texas (31) handled a sulking Georgia team last year in the Sugar Bowl, a fan base exhausted by a decade-long malaise went ahead and proclaimed it: the Longhorns would be back as a national power in 2019. The Top 25 voters, addicted to brand names, bought in, ranked them in the top 10 entering the season despite significant losses on defense. Everyone was, once again, wrong. Texas is not back, not close to back, and there is no reason to believe it will be back until proving it in games that actually matter. After losing to Iowa State Saturday, the Longhorns are a pedestrian 6–4 and a pedestrian 4–3 in the Big 12. They are 23–14 overall under Tom Herman (32), and 16–10 in the league. While that is certainly an improvement over the Charlie Strong body of work (16–21, 12–15 Big 12), it is nearly identical to the last three seasons under Mack Brown (33), which were considered major disappointments. Brown was 25–14 overall, 16–11 in the league. It also puts Herman pretty much in line with the other Big 12 coaches not named Lincoln Riley who have been in the conference since 2017. Oklahoma State’s Mike Gundy is 24–12, 13–12; TCU’s Gary Patterson is 23–14, 14–12; Iowa State’s Matt Campbell is 22–14, 15–10; and Baylor’s Matt Rhule is 17–18, 11–14. With nearly a three-year body of work, there is no discernible difference between the Longhorns under Herman and the rest of the upper-middle class of the Big 12. Everyone is chasing Oklahoma in a muddled pack. Thing is, there is supposed to be a difference between Texas and the rest of the upper-middle class. The recruiting rankings suggest that there should be. The tradition screams that there should be. The results aren’t there. Even the game-by-game results reinforce the fact that Texas is not operating on a different level. Under Herman, 15 out of 26 conference games have been decided by one score or less. Average score of the Horns’ Big 12 games this season: Texas 32.9, opponents 32.4. Three of the past four have been decided by a field goal on the final play. Currently, Baylor is the Lone Star State team putting together a special season. Texas has a chance to do damage to that Saturday in Waco, and to keep its own conference title hopes alive. But anything short of a surprise Big 12 title game appearance and upset of Oklahoma will be viewed as coming up short in 2019. None of this means Texas will never be back under Herman. It does mean that the Longhorns have a long way yet to go. And it means that they should have to prove they’re back before saying they’re back.
  10. .....you're gonna regret, cause I'm the best that's ever been. -TH
  11. I think I saw the Texas Playbook for sale on eBay......no Reserve......Buy It Now for $9.95
  12. Major respect to you guys that are actually going to listen to this PC.....I'd like to say I will tune in, but every time I see or hear that mouthbrooder I just want to strangle him, and end up popping blood pressure meds like Skittles.....
  13. I'm going to assume we finish out 6-6....we MAY beat Tech but I'm not betting on it.......but I have a good idea that Sankey does his best to schedule the aggys against us in the Bowl game....I would if I was him.......we are down, it's the aggys best chance to beat us in awhile, and the ratings would be unbelievable. IF all that comes to play and we lose in the Bowl, would THAT be enough to get rid of our arrogant prick of a HC?
  14. CoachesHotSeat.com has Mensa at #7 Just trying to find the silver lining.......or SOMETHING funny about this weekend.
  15. My guess would be 6-6 I would also guess that the SEC will see this as a golden opportunity and schedule the aggys against us in a bowl
  16. I saw more 4 DL schemes today than I've seen all year.......first time all year that it looked like adjustments were made in-game. Did Orlan_o go home after the 1st quarter?
  17. Was sitting in it in 1967 at the Cooper/Austin Reagan HS championship game......never been back since
  18. For you that are arguing about whether Herman is on the hot seat, I refer you to the TRUE source of irrefutable information........www.coacheshotseat.com Friday Herman was at 111.....today.....76 Case Closed
