Yes, creative. Especially for the boomers. And assuming the ivy was real, I’m sure all Horns are OK with an upside down helmet if it helps create some green space in that God-forsaken dust bowl of a flyover state. 
But yes, fuck them. It is the way.

Doesn’t Billy Sims “barbecue” up in Mobilehoma have upside down Longhorn stickers in their urinals?

Thanks for the royalties and thanks for the space in your psyche for which UT pays zilch.  Actually, if you think about it, y’all pay UT in way of said royalties. Idoits.

Huh.  But then wouldn’t the horns be right side up when the inbreds are taking a drink?

Mentioned this in the CDC thread but probably more relevant here.

TH says all their goals are still in front of them.  It's  a shame no one had the guts to ask "so I guess that means it was your goal at the start of the season to not make the playoffs.  Do you think your AD and the boosters shared your goal to not make the playoffs?"

yeah exactly.  all of our goals that are still in front of us are still in front of us.

example of key goal  still in front of us -  "beat a shitty KU team by more than 2 points"

as far as the press print, knowing the truth, I'm sure that is exactly what Akers, Mackovic and Charlie thought as well.  Fuck this guy.  he's been losing key recruiting battles since he got here.  

He  sucks and is a slapdick.  the slapdick part is just becoming more obvious to recruits since the shine wore off.

I'm sure the great meetings with CDC that Tom describes are

CDC: Tom, need you in my office for our weekly meeting

Tom: Hi Boss, sorry I'm sweating but winning sure is hard.  Everything is OK, right?

CDC: Tom, is the team going to win this week?

Tom: well it will be hard but I think we are ready.  Hey maybe you could tweet that everything is hunky dory so I don't have to come up with some lame ass bullshit at the press conf this week?

CDC: uh yeah, I'm backing off on the tweeting due to covid Tom.

Listen I'm hardly on here anymore because I just don't give a shit about the team in its current condition.  

All I want to know is.

What's the groupthink on Urban?  We getting him or not?

Situation is fluid on getting Urban in burnt orange.  All signs point to maybe.

Bonus of no Kansas game.  Extra week off is plenty of time for CDC and Herman to renegotiate an actual buyout if they want.  This thing could go so smooth, imo.  In my mind they sit down Sat. morning while team would have been warming up, and take care of this thing in about 2 hours.  Negotiate a lump-sum, far less than the total Tom is due over the next three years, but have it be a lump sum that wouldn't require Tom to look for a head coaching job.  Get him out of Austin by end of November.  Announce buyout this Saturday night, including interim coach Ash, who will coach against last three teams.  One week later, announce Urban hiring, who will immediately upon announcement tackle recruiting and hiring staff.  

Call me crazy sure.  But why not?  Somebody please explain why a true buyout cannot happen during the season.

it’s up to you whether or not you set yourself for a swift kick in the balls due to embarrassing gullibility.

This NCAA season is so fucked that I don't think Herman gets fired unless Urban Meyer is a lock to replace him short of Texas losing every single game the rest of the season.

Bwahaha.  What a terrible fit that would be.  No way they are that stupid.  But then again they did hire Muschamp.

It’s the Dana Holgerson move, take another job before you get fired for good money at a step down program.   He could go from 6M to 4M but get probably 5 more years guaranteed.   Otherwise he will have to step back to the minors league and 1-2M plus paying his own expenses.

Tom knows he’s done at Texas. If he loses the Big 12 he’s fired. If he wins, the Houston Texans will offer him the job and we don’t have to pay his buyout. GTFO here

Our media is pretty docile compared to most. As @Deej said, if Austin radio is calling your ass out on a daily basis—you are done. Or should be. In the early aughts, Mack was a master at working the media. It gave him a longer leash than he deserved. Herman has played too many Mensa mind games. I mean his quotes before the Baylor game were a joke. Like how they were researching their opponent by searching their message boards and if they are anything like UT boards a guy with a sprained ankle means that the sky is falling. It’s year four of his regime and I feel like my ten year old neighbor has more awareness and maturity.

He can go to aggy when LSU pays Jimbo's zero dollar buyout.

I said this on the Urban Meyer or Bust thread. Tom is so hung up on the message boards. Are they messing up your recruiting because they are spreading rumors? Or are they your secret to success by helping you game plan against Baylor?

Good points! This writer/blogger gets it too:

“Some people need to understand. When you are winning, you can be as fun and cute as you want to. But when you lose, this kind of stuff just makes you look like a clueless idiot. I do not get paid millions of dollars to coach football, but I would like to think that a head coach on the hot seat should focused more on his own team that spewing out total BS like this.”

This was my thought when the insider ScottButter said Urban was a done deal. The only way a SC insider would know that would be for Herman to be in play there. Also he would have taken that job in 2015 had they not lost to the Citadel.

Good chance we will, but probably not.

I think there could be a soft landing scenario, if the right school with the right money and length of term came calling. Unlikely but possible given the situation.
