    Nailed it

    Herman learned nothing from LSU...or the other half-dozen times he's done that same thing.

    I'm watching on Hulu and there's about a 15 second delay. I hate it
  4. Disco Missile
    I like the way Roschon runs. He and Jamison working hard today

    The shark has been jumped. Charlie was a Super Nice Guy™, but that's just silly.
  6. Disco Missile
    either that or a sack
  7. Disco Missile
    We have the only 3rd down conversion in this game. But just the one.

    After all we've been hearing about locker room issues, I wonder if some of it is carrying over.
  9. Disco Missile
    I think I've figured out our problem guys. It's our AV crew. Coach Herman and his staff are obviously not able to review game film the week prior to games, and no doubt this is because of a lack of video replay devices and facilities. Each game we have to play a few quarters before we learn what the opponent is doing and make some adjustments as we go. It's a real shame we can't have good film study equipment at a university like Texas.

    Good play there

    Starting another game wide asleep.

    By what metric? There are years when entire conferences didn't have two top-10 teams. I have my theory. But objectively speaking the east did not suck.
  13. Disco Missile
    My eyeballs told me they sucked. But the SEC East had 2 top 10 teams each year Mizzou won it, so ranking-wise it was one of the better divisions in football. So either my eyeballs are out of calibration, or the SEC ranking machine is a thing. And if SEC rankings are inflated, well then...that's just unpossible.
  14. Disco Missile
    I liked this one too, because both years they won the east, there was another SEC east team ranked in the top 10. But people shouldn't let things like that detract from convenient excuses.
  15. Disco Missile
    The funny thing was, they won the East 2 of the first 3 years in the league. This was attributed to 'SEC recruiting'. When the consequences of not being able to recruit in Texas anymore and being out-recruited both nationally and in SEC territory (the SJW campus shutdown didn't help) they started to decline, and now they are considered a 5th wheel former Big 12 team also-ran. They did it to themselves, so fuck 'em, I just think the shifting narratives are very convenient.

    Oh man, I actually laughed out loud at this one. This thread did not let me down even a little bit. Myles Garrett having to defend himself from Mason Rudolph! I'm dying over here!

    I wasn't making an excuse. I was simply saying the NFL doesn't teach - they implement and utilize. They expect players to know what they need to know, or they'll find one that does.
  18. Disco Missile
    I don't think NFL coaches teach anything anymore, other than how to implement their schemes.

    Depth is the biggest problem. We returned 10 o-linemen this year and added Braun and 4 freshmen. Mack and Charlie both blew a hole in this position group and Herman is doing a decent job at fixing it, but it takes some time to develop quality. We lost a really good 5th year senior LT, a pretty good 4 year starter at LG, and a senior RG. None of their replacements are a significant upgrade. Youth is a factor with Cosmi and Angilau replacing Anderson and E Rod. Kerstetter has almost everything you want in a lineman, he's just not as physically dominating as the elite guys. Braun and Shack are both pretty good. Beyond those 5 you have Okafor and Imade as primary backups and both are a drop off from the starters. There's another factor that's affecting the o line, but I don't know if they're banged up a little or if it's coaching. But they aren't improving as the year goes along and they seem to be getting a little worse.

    I'm good with it. I had higher expectations but it's easy to see that those were unrealistic. And because I've been a fan for a long time: Bowl eligible under Mackovic - fuck this shit. At least we beat OU Bowl eligible under Mack (98-04) - another Holiday Bowl, fuck this shit Bowl eligible under Mack (05-09) - WE SHOULD BE #1 Bowl eligible under Mack (10-13) - fuck Mack Brown! Bowl eligible under Strong - FINALLY!!! A great coach and a great man! We're on top of the world, baby! Bowl eligible under Herman - fuck this shit.
  21. Disco Missile
    That's pretty much all that needs to be said.
  22. Disco Missile
    This is Charlie homerism. It's just personal preference. Mack was a nice guy, loved by everyone that ever spent any time around him. We hated him because he nose-dived the program. Charlie wasn't a very nice guy. Lots of people didn't get along with him. He cheated with a booster's wife. He was the worst head coach in Texas history, and refused to admit failure even up to the very end - 'the cake is baked'. And saying "the cake is baked" isn't a nice thing to say as you're leaving. It's a crappy thing to say. Herman isn't nice. But he's been (to this point) the best coach we've had since 2010.

    Bujecevski out with a broken clavicle and other goodness. Watch and enjoy. Or weep. Link
  24. Disco Missile
    I was reading this thread thinking that we didn't reach this level of anger with Charlie until after the Kansas loss in year 3, and even then a lot of people were more weepy than mad. This is like Mack level hate, and we're 5-3. Not where we want to be, but not near Charlie/Mack level suck either.
  25. Disco Missile
    Go peruse the next coach thread and see for yourself. And Herman is night and day better than Strong, and prior to the last 3 games we've been on nothing but an upward trajectory since he got here. Remember, ole Charlie was outscored by Patterson 129-26.
