Here's something to ponder.

If ou wins out, the biggest argument for them to be left out of the playoff will be that they barely beat an abysmal 4-8 Texas team.  Their win against us is actually worse than their loss to a pretty good Baylor team.

Burn the whole thing to the ground.

If we lose our last two games.  Which, let's be honest, is quite likely.  And Kansas manages to beat WVU at home in Lawrence to end the season.  Via the tie-breaker, we will proudly finish dead last in the Big XII in football.  Even in 2010, we managed to finish with only the second worst record.  

Last time we finished dead last in league play was 1956, 65 years ago.  

We may have to consider that targeting high 3-stars/low 4-stars in the State of Texas is not going to cut it, they're not as good as the services say they are.  Or we need a complete overhaul of our approach to coaching, conditioning, and culture.  Or new facilities.  Or all of the above.  Or new concessions.  Or ticketing.  Or premium seating areas.  Or field turf.  Or logos.  Or uniforms.  Or hydration charts.  

One thing that's not gonna fucking solve this is moving to the SEC.  But TV, TV, TV.  Read a fucking book! /LarryDavid

So I shut it off in the 4th. But I’m reading the make a wish kid in Kansas caught the 2 point.  The kid who played cello for the local church and never saw football was able to suit you for one game as his last wish and caught the winning catch snapping a streak dating back to W bush.  
 

fuck this entire organization

Give Akers a tad bit of credit.   

His teams were hard nosed and they played defense lights out.  He recruited very well.  two cotton bowls wins away from two national titles.  Won about 75% of his games.

Akers also had as many conference championships as Mack Brown did.  In about half the time.   As did John Mackovic.  

We don't care about hardware here anymore, and haven't for a long time.  It's about money and class.  That's fine.  But we can have even more money if we quit throwing $10-$15mm a year at coaching staffs that can get the same result as a bunch of blue-collar guys working for mid six-figures with huge bonus/incentive packages for actually winning stuff.  We can get the exact same results we're getting now for 30-40 cents on the dollar.  Pocket the rest of that and spend it whiskey and whores.

If Akers wins one title he’d be our second best coach ever?

We obviously suck at coaching hires. We've had about 30 head coaches in school history. We've hired 3 that could be considered really good/great: Bible, Royal, Mack.  

That sounds about right for most schools.

Basically. Money, class and cool boulevards / nightclub home football environments.

WVU is not very likely to lose to Kansas given that they'll have bowl eligibility on the line in the game. Still, I'd almost like to see that scenario play out. At this point I just want this season seared into the psyche of the fanbase, donors, and administration so there's as little inclination to let Sark continue driving this program off a cliff as possible.

Derrick Johnson played linebacker at Texas and we trot Luke Brockermeyer and Jett Bush out there.

God bless Brockermeyer but is there anything associated with the football program he can do that doesn't require him to be on the field?

He could have recruited his 5 star brothers instead of watching them go to Alabama.

If Brockermeyer wasn’t his last name he would be playing ball at maybe Sam Houston State or somewhere worse.  He wouldn’t be starting there either.  Maybe getting to play at the  very end of a game on senior night.  Bush and Schooler also shouldn't be on a power 5 team roster yet they start or play many downs.  It is baffling.

My old man was on campus in 1956. Like the program he's been dead awhile. Ed price got fired and our 19th choice said yes. The rest is history. Go ask 18 other guys then ask Saban.

Stop giving this program money.  That’s all they care about.  The south end zone looks cool but it fucking sucks bc it’s fucking empty every game.  This school doesn’t understand how to run a college football program and how to create a fun environment.

Exactly this. Stop supporting this shit program. Make them produce something that actually warrants fan support. Until then, let them play in front of 30,000 people.

They got that thing so horribly wrong.  Two years of consultants and focus groups to design that thing and sell it out.  And they literally got it half wrong.  They missed so many marks on it, it's actually sad because of how those resources could have been better used to actually effect change.

I especially loved the play late in the game where Brockermeyer came flying up the middle on a blitz and was tackled by the KU center. He got up and was arguing for a holding call as the KU QB flipped it to a receiver, who then ran the ball in for a TD. It was not a good look. At all.

I think in general the State of Texas is soft.  Great economy, plenty of $$, jobs..the pool of workers is limitless.  You drive around north Texas and the state bird should be the crane, there is so much development.  Kids in general in Texas grow up soft. Everywhere you turn, there is a new shop, building, school...shit is all new and shiny pretty much in every city in Texas.

Now juxtapose that with surrounding states and the Southeast (our new partners) in general, where I live now, after having lived in TX 15 years.  The south is not shiny, new or flourishing economically.  Sure there are pockets, but mostly its lower middle class, lower socioeconomic areas that are feeding kids to schools that have programs with less resources than us, but better culture and better overall programs. The culture at Texas is gentrified, we wanted it that way, remember "we are the Joneses" and the "we are Texas" b/s?  NOONE says that in other parts of the country about themselves. The culture at UT is that we are better than everyone and by proxy, we don't have to grind, like other places.

We need to recruit players whose only option is going pro. If their goal is to be an accountant, engineer, social worker, etc. Hard pass. Recruit those kids who don’t have a backup plan to the NFL and whose hobby is pain.

No sense in tackling / holding him. He'll just whiff on the play and / or fall in the process.
