Joel Klatt interview

[closetohumping 17838]

Worth a ten minute listen.  TLDR  Ehlinger could be a second round pick, Herman needs to beat TCU or things get noisy for Herman.

[SwanderedTalent 5761]

"noisy".... barring a scandal or some kind of catastrophic collapse (sub .500), Herman has nothing to worry about this year re: his job

[Eggo 4026]

I like Joel Klatt these days. He's a good mind.

Even if there were an irrefutable groundswell among the BFD's to get rid of him, the budget won't stand the buyouts--for both Herman and however many assistants would have to be paid off. We're coming off a severely down income year for the football program, which drives all that Title IX shit, as well as other things.

No, barring a 2-8 collapse or the live girl-dead-boy metaphor coming true in real life, we're going to be blessed with The Herminator at least for two more years.

When you don't have balls on your chin 24/7, it's easy to collect astronomical units.

That's my HAWT TAKE BABY!

[Tex Long 4684]

Klatt shows two things I like: he's not completely stupid like so many of his colleagues; he's honest about his statements of opinion. Okay, three things: he owns what he says. 

I vastly prefer his announcing to any of the others currently pretending to understand football.

Still suffering from PTSD and hearing voices from that fateful day in Houston.  All that said, give me Klatt and Co. over the douchebags from last weekend for the broadcast.

I do not believe that is correct. 

[Hagbard Celine 11299]

i predict that if we muff another punt up 2 scores when we've been driving the ball at will, and then proceed to surrender 2 sacks to a 3-man rush, the covid cover will evaporate quickly.

Seriously, he's won 3 bowl games in a row and this is a year that we actually didn't think would even happen due to the pandemic. I'd be surprised if ANY CFB coach was fired this year, let alone Tom fucking Herman.

Yeah, if Shaka couldn’t get fired this spring, there’s no way Tom is going anywhere.

And Klatt is awesome. We found that out a handful of years ago when he started doing a weekly segment on The Ticket in Dallas.

Herbstreit was once similar to Klatt.  But he sold his soul to climb the ESPN ladder and now he's not even human any more.  

He's a swollen, empty-eyed automaton who parrots talking points for corporate.  

His attempt to cry on camera was confirmation that the muscles in his face have been replaced by rubberized gears.

Not sure why but Klatt has always been favorable to Texas.. even during the dark Strong days and Tom's inaugural season here... he's been a half glass full kind of guy. He also loves some Sam Ehlinger. He's praised him from his freshman season to now.

He’s always been fair to Texas and was speaking out against the SEC’s shenanigans/system rigging long before anybody else.

Klatt comes off really well in those videos.  

I don't know why it's so impossible for networks to find knowledgeable, even-handed analysts.  I mean, it would be hard to find a more annoying person in a sports bar than Galindo, Brando, or Lapham.

So?  Are you saying there should be no support for women's sports?  Or it should come from somewhere else?  Should college football be a professional minor league?  Should players be paid?

I don't want to put words in your mouth so tell me more. Or retract your statement.

Lighten up, Francis. "Retract your statement". Lulz. You disagree, that's fine. Its a message board.
