I think Texans know the real original definition of glory hole, but thank you for those that are living under a rock. The point being that the urban dictionary definition has made a strong surge in recent years and it always creates an uncomfortable situation when he says it. Good grief. Why did I just have to explain that. 

I grew up in oil country in Texas, and this is the first I've heard of the term meaning anything other than a place you stick your dick in going all the way back to the 1970s.

I worked the rigs for a while and never heard it any differently than you did.

How does this DL transfer haul compare to last years?

Norton was a freaking godsend.  One of the most clutch players on the team down the stretch.

Last year we thought Norton was a one-note space eater and Lole was a lottery ticket to have much impact given his injuries. Ironically Savea in some ways seemed like the best pickup.

Reminds me of the park next door to a place we rent in Colorado every summer.

Thanks Deloss, for setting up 15 years of Texas revenue sports that sure didn't feel that way.

I'm hardly a fan of the guy. But starting the Longhorn Foundation and making this quote are the two contributions I'm grateful for.

Other than that he set up a culture that did a lot of harm. The way I always described it is the people in the athletic department got their job security from raising money, not winning football games. They wanted the football team to win a few more games so they could go out and raise a few million more the next year, not the other way around, and that was a serious culture issue that led to us whoring the program out worse than any other program out there in many regards. 

But the fact is when he was hired the athletic program was a poor in ways we can't even begin to fathom now. We depended on having the Texas legislature wrapped around our fingers for making capital improvements., Coaches weren't really paid competitive salaries compared to market rate. Every program was responsible for fundraising themselves. 

It wasn't the only reason, but one of the reasons David McWilliams was hired after Fred Akers is because he was willing to come to Texas for cheap. We couldn't afford a big name coach. John Cooper inquired about the opening before he ever took the Ohio State job and said, "I'm getting paid more here at Arizona State."

He also said winning all the time is bad for the kids. So money > winning to him. 
 

There were also administration issues. The chancellor and president were anti football. They wanted Texas to be a first rate research institute and they saw being a football factory as detrimental to those efforts. It's amazing how effectively we were chopping ourselves at the knees, while all the regional competition had a win at all costs mentality. 

Dodds figured out he could make his job security all about how much money he raised. And so he did.

My recollection is that the guys last year were backup plans after we whiffed or got outbid on higher profile targets. Obviously it worked out OK. The guys this year seem like they were higher priorities from the get go.

Whether that ends up meaning anything or not remains to be seen, of course.

Any AD that was AD of Texas would have made money going from 90s to 2000s. Dodds overall was dog shit.

Maybe so. But while it seems obvious in retrospect to start the Longhorn Foundation, tie donations to seat priority, and make donation money available across all sports, he's still the first one that did it. He also started the move to suites before any other program as well. And that took some level of vision because we went into a lot of debt to do it. 

But yes, I do agree with your point.

Let's be clear here. It's not that he was the first person at Texas. He was the first person anywhere.
