Lincoln Riley pronounces the "t" in bidet.

Lincoln Riley trusts his farts.

Lincoln Riley voted for FitLump.

Lincoln Riley tries to make a ho into a housewife.

That pass was about as perfect as you can get, you want to hit them in stride. If X catches a few of those 4 drops it's a totally different stat line.

Lincoln Riley drives past 3 HEB's to shop at Kroger.

Lincoln Riley has a belly tat.

Everyone knows the proper term is "ensemble."

LHB actually plays a lot. The issue is that we are so in love with our new Jumbotron toy. Whoever runs that is allergic to silence. 100% of the time during the game is “scheduled,” and there is zero spontaneity. Multiple times the Jumbotron played over LHB.

Just tried the mobile site again, it’s been awhile. I’ll take the L, it’s much better than last time I tried it. Much faster. Tapa UI still cleaner but mobile good now.

Let’s stop with the CFP talk until we beat OU and win the Big12 at least. Tech is not good.

Tapa is 3x faster than Safari on iOS and doesn’t load all the extra bullshit like burnt end logos that are just our self jack offs. It’s also better than the shitty tapa wannabe app they suggested we try that required TestFlight.

He for sure has issues w/ his motion that Chip or whoever we have in that spot now can work on. But I think his issues are mostly mental now; he can hit the three...he just never, ever, ever shoots it. He needs that sports therapist from Ted Lasso lol.

He’s talented but I’m not sure anyone can un-fuck his mental block.

Not if his goal was be a NFL lineman.

My fav SMU uniforms, the Dallas script is nice.

If it was as easy as "knowing the model" then the dozen Saban assistant coaches hired across CFB would have replicated Bama already. Fan expectations need to be reset, people thinking we'd turn it around in one year weren't realistic. We didn't go to shit overnight and we don't git gud overnight either.

Reading is hard: "In order of importance since 2009" Yeah, his fucking the program in his last few years and where that got us was pretty important.

Only a handful of people know for sure. Maybe it was a request (that we denied) for "complete" control, whatever that actually means. Or maybe @WhatTheBuck is right about how Urban felt he got to the mountaintop at tOSU and there was nothing left for him in CFB. Or maybe it was the BMDs, or the LHN time commitment, or whatever. Only UM knows and I haven't heard him comment on it. If you believe the "reporting," CDC wasn't driving the bus on the hire anyway, it was a handful of others. So yeah any of those possibilities you wrote above are just that, possible. Or not. I see a ton of people lashing out at the AD because they are angry with a bad loss, when 1) I don't see the AD as the root cause of the issue, and 2) I can't point to anything the AD would have done differently in the past 18 months or so (prior to that, sure). Texas' issues, in ranked order of importance since 2009: Mack Brown burnt the house down on the way out and fucked us, and has been actively trying to fuck us ever since to preserve his notion of his "deserved legacy" by badmouthing us all over the place. This had mostly diminished a decade later but really reverberated through the program for the 5-6 years after he left. Unprofessionalism in the AD from 2009 - 2017 leading to easily avoidable poor hires in the head football coach. This lead to Charlie Strong and Tom Herman. Bad luck in hiring. Hindsight is 20/20 but wow Strong looks bad in the rearview mirror. Herman looks like about what you'd expect, a mid major coach over his head. Jury still out on Sark IMO. Texas HS football/7 on 7 - the model for TXHSFB creates amazing skill players that are picked up by top programs around the nation. I don't believe the lines are at the same level of quality anymore. This continues to be an issue and will continue to be until we regularly reach outside of the state for line recruits. We'll see how this changes. Bad recruiting - we've brought in a lot of softies especially in the O-line. Another big reason for Sark... Bad development - players have actually regressed when they got on campus. Big reason for the Sark pick... Lack of NFL picks - related to everything above ... 32. Facilities - no where near as big as people make it out to be ... 89. Austin's distractions - waaaay down the list ... 534. Woke Culture - IMO this barely registers. The Eyes controversy wasn't generated or driven by the players, it was a few loud voices on campus. Unfortunately the players got dragged into it and everyone shoved a mic in their face. More and more I'm landing in the @David Dennison camp that getting the right guy is a fortuitous combination of luck and timing. You need the right guy and the right time at the right place.

Our stadium is named after our football coach who was a Sooner. I think we'd be fine.

Not sure I buy this...if you believe the reports we threw the kitchen sink @ Urban, offered to make him the highest paid CFB coach ever, highest assistant coach pool ever, basically give him everything and he still said no. So I'm not sure what more you're looking for from the AD there. On the donations and cap projects...uhhh, yeah they care about that stuff, it's their job. If they weren't going for donations and cap projects you and others would be equally on here bitching about "OMG the AD sucks I can't believe with all of Texas' resources they're letting our facilities get so far behind!" It's a no win. And no, I don't work in the AD...
