Urban Meyer or bust

[Walker_Texas_Ranger_23 25]

Monday can’t get here fast enough! Heard he is bringing Mickey with him as well, Mark is staying with the Buckeyes. 

[Nicole44 22027]

My dad had this painted for me as a graduation present. He collected a lot of oil paintings when he was alive and this guy mostly did deer paintings. Pretty much. My dad approached him and said can you paint a Longhorn for me? The guy was like WTF? Hook’em! I hope today is a good one for the program and the players.

So you're going by "passiveaggresivecoach" now nerd? Haha whats up douche bag, it's Tanner from Highschool. Remember me? Me and the guys used to give you a hard time in school. Sorry you were just an easy target lol. I can see not much has changed. Remember Sarah the girl you had a crush on? Yeah we're married now. I make over 200k a year and drive a mustang GT. I guess some things never change huh loser? Nice catching up lol. Pathetic..

I'm Zach Smith brah, I don't think you know who you're fucking with! 

[Not a Sock 2308]

So since this is just a dump thread something I have always wondered is how much do Suits at DKR cost and how hard are they to get? Is there a seniority system or is just the highest bidder or friend of the program.

[General Specific 3231]

I doubt if anything whatsoever will turn up on pregame, so watching it for some clue is kind of a waste.  Urby sure isn't gonna spill any beans, and the other hosts have no impetus to sabotage their own show.  My 2¢ is that you won't get any help there.  So e.g. if Urby isn't wearing an orange tie, or gives some discreet hook'em symbol, I can see where 2--3 people on here are going to panic, "oh noes!".  Whatever is afoot, nothing on that show is going to give any hints whatsoever.

CYA:  unless he makes an announcement on the show, which wouldn't totally stun me.

I do believe he has not decided yet though, because TommyBoy would be canned 30 seconds after it happens.  No reason to stall recruiting with probably the most unimportant game and final stretch of UT football since I've been alive. 

I've been hearing UT played all its aces, and Meyer is counting his ducks to see how it works out and everyone is on hold until he does.  I believe it'll happen one way or another after this game and a day on the set for him.

And there's no way in hell I'm watching more than a few portions of the game, mostly to see if KSU is getting back to pre-Skyler competence (probably not yet but better).  I got stuff to do, people to see, places to go.

Meantime I'm offering up incense to Jobu and although he's no help in getting me to hit a curve ball, he might have some pull with the football gods.

Wasn’t Tom quoted in the locker room demo video as say “Up yours Jobu”? At least that’s what I hear in that video!

I said this yesterday morning, but nothing good could have come out of yesterday or the FOX show today except an obvious gag order on that set in which they awkwardly skirt around addressing anything about Texas with Meyer. If we see that today, plus a shit ton of other logical elements already just sitting there on this, then wow. 

One thing that’s floating is that even with such a recruiting animal as Meyer, staff assembly is more important. If he takes the job, it may be a situation where letting the string for Herman get played out through the Kansas game makes as much sense as anything while all of the administrative and staffing loose ends begin to get tied down. The transfer portal will be used to solve gaps left by this recruiting cycle. 

I don’t personally believe that, and I don’t want that, and this board would implode on itself and there’d be nothing but dead bodies and useless assholes like the HugoStiglitz guy left to pic over the football board after hiding out with this his dipshit rep pumping buddies on the political board, but I guess it’s vaguely believable.

Cotton Bowl 1978 was my low point attending a game.

Wow. Mine too. I was a senior at UT that season, and while picking up tickets for the basketball game against Tech, I said (for laughs), "I'm sure you still have some Cotton Bowl tickets, right?" I knew the game against ND had been sold out for awhile. The guy said, "Actually, we do have a single left." I was shocked but of course bought it. Then, on game day I got up before daylight and drove my MG-B on icy roads all the way from Centex to Dallas. And naturally, we then played like dogs and got curbstomped by the Irish. Not my fondest memory of Earl's Heisman season.

You are obviously no expert on Jobu, so get real. Look:



Did you ever consider that Jobu actually hated rum and didn't grant Cerrano the power to hit curves? It was all good until he drank the rum.
Anyway, I'll offer up some Colt 45 instead.  That stuff will wake any gods up, especially an hour after drinking it, ifuknowhaddImean.

My point was if for whatever reason Urban doesn't want or take the TEXAS job, a good agent will make sure to get him a raise at FOX.  I agree that the money will be considerably less at FOX compared to what TEXAS is offering him, but everyone likes a raise!! 😁

And he'll still be making seven figures (for a guy who doesn't need to work another day in his life) doing what's essentially a zero-stress, part-time job that he seems to enjoy a great deal and is one that doesn't piss off his wife and daughters.  Simply backing up the money truck to this guy isn't the be all and end all, and if he doesn't come, it's not necessarily because someone in Austin fucked it up.

Is there still a Wendy's on campus?  Man they make good burgers sometimes.

Old-timers remember the era before the fast-food franchises and the totally hit or miss fare in the Union.  Mostly I miss the big barroom there, did many successful sorties with wimmenz in that room and their $3 or whatever pitchers of pissed-down "beer" (I think it was beer anyway).

That's what's wrong with the world today - you can't get totally drunk on less than $10 (unless you freeload, NTTAWWT).

I don't think Wendy's is there anymore and they literally murdered they Wendy's guy.

The FOX avoiding the subject is the actual tell. They messed with him about the rumors 2-3 weeks ago and it was awkward. Something like that today, he couldn’t play it off. If they don’t let him address it, that’s good and it’s because he doesn’t want it discussed. If he were set up to address it, there is only one way that goes - negative for us. 

The premise of Meyer announcing anything about actually taking a job that isn’t currently open, on live national tv, is fan fiction silliness. That one keeps popping up on this thread and even in a world as fucked up and looney as 2020 has been, that would only be the action of an insane person.

'97 UCLA was bad.  I hated the 63-14 and 65-13 losses to OU  more though, because OU is a hated rival.

But none of those were as bad as the '91 Cotton Bowl IMO, for those that attended in person.  Miserable cold wet weather, the absolute destruction of our hopes that were were finally "back", Russell Maryland killing our o-line completely dead, and those a-hole Miami CoCanes earning something like 200+ yards in unsportsmanlike penalties.  I'm pretty sure I got frostbite in my toes that day.
