    Don’t try to weather the storm. Be the storm.

    Tommy Ford! My “Introduction to Coaching Football” instructor when I was at UT. 1990 game against UH for me, but there weren’t a lot of home highlights during the McWilliams era. When have fans rushed the field since that game?

    Hopefully it will even out since the Big 12 has reason to want to punish both schools.

    Everything looks great this morning, thanks @immamac!

    I thought he was referring to the manager of the Phillies that won the World Series in 1980

    They will throw King out there to get slaughtered by Bama, then start getting Weigman ready over the bye week to start against SC. Start selling the fans on the hope for next year.

    I had been meaning to jokingly ask earlier this week if Pete Thamel had told us yet whether Quinn was starting, but there it is.

    He’s right, ESPN journalists much prefer the values of . . . The University of Alabama

    Steve Ross tells the story about this game, which is one of the first he covered. Supposedly when Randy McEachern came in after the first two QB’s got injured, he tried to give a pep talk in the huddle. One of the senior offensive lineman snapped at him, “Just shut the fuck up and hand the ball to Ear!”

    Thank you. So ATM has locked themselves into paying a coach $95 million with the hopes that he will accomplish something no other coach in history has. Advantage aggy.

    I can remember seeing Beetlejuice, Last Temptation of Christ, and Sea of Love at the Varsity. Lots more at the Dobie Theater like Heavy Metal (not in first run) and Near Dark. The historic house at the corner there of W. 22nd Street and Rio Grande that was a frat house back then is now a Starbucks, surrounded by a huge condo building. New Austin in one picture. There used to be a Moon Tower in the adjacent parking lot but that’s gone too.

    Auburn fired Chizik 2 years after winning the MNC, so I used the other examples because they had a longer, slower decline, similar to what we’re seeing from Jimbo post-2013. It brings up another good question - has any coach won his first and second national championships 10 or more years apart? Because that’s what the Aggies are betting on with Jimbo since he sure isn’t winning another one this year. The further you get out from that first one, the more it looks like an outlier.

    That protocol is fucked. There is no way in hell someone who took a concussion like that should be playing a week later in a girls’ soccer game, much less a sport where teams are trying to do that to you on every play. After what we saw with Tua are they really going to throw him back out there so quickly?

    Whatever happened to Kevin Dunn? I knew he left the Horn to work at Morgan Stanley, but he said he was going to keep coming on the EGAT podcast with Paul Wadlington and he never did another show after that.

    True, perhaps it’s more like if Tennessee gave Fulmer a 10 year guaranteed contract after he won the SEC East in 2004.

    If I was an aggy, and thank the Good Lord I’m not, I’d be putting all of my emotional wishcasting into Jimbo admitting defeat and turning over the offense to a younger innovative OC who will call plays. Then hope either Weigman or a transfer can run it. Ed Orgeron was able to do it, and 2019 LSU is what I’d be clinging to if I was a fan. Otherwise, they are in for a long stretch of frustration turning to apathy due to that ridiculous contract they gave him. What they should really be worried about is that Jimbo is Mack, Les Miles, or Phillip Fulmer post-national championship. Those guys never climbed back up the mountain.

    West Virginia /end thread/

    Is that cumulative for the season? Or the last week’s game? It seemed like we were getting a better push this week when we ran, and the YPC was not skewed by a couple long runs.

    Also known as “quitting the team.”

    That’s the part that gets me. I can live with the corny jokes that have been recycled for 50 years. They’re stupid and predictable, and I heard a lot of them when my grandparents would have Hee-Haw on when I was a kid, but whatever. It’s all the choreography and call with physical responses and poses that is so cringey. For a fan base that likes to see itself as a bulwark of traditional masculinity they sure don’t seem to realize how much they look like a Broadway dance troop out there.

    It really seemed like we tightened things up a bit in the first half against WVU, and often sent 5-6 guys. We only seemed to revert once we were up 35-7, and that’s when such a defense is appropriate. We let WVU take 8 minutes to score on 16 plays and once they did that twice, the game was over. I hope PK is learning and doesn’t give the backup OU QB a bunch of short completions early to let them take control of the game.
  23. Duane Moore
    Yep, 21 points early is not safe in this game. 1995 we jumped out 21-0 and ended up in a 24-24 tie against Howard Schnellenberger’s crappy team.

    Do we have any purple alt-uniforms we can bust out this weekend?

    Tennessee is only now (depending on how the rest of this season goes) emerging from a 15 year down cycle.
