Here's a stumper:  Who was the best LB to play for Mackovic?  Dusty Renfro? 

He inherited Anthony Curl, Norman Watkins, Winfred Tubbs and Robert Reed. Dusty Renfro has to be the best he recruited that played for him.

Derrick Brownlow.

If you don't remember the name, that's because he played for Mackovic at Illinois in 1991.

Did he write a best selling novel? Has anyone from UT football?

Forgot about Aaron Humphrey. We're not exactly talking about the mid-80's Bears or Giants largesse at LB.

Yeah, Humphrey was good, but didn't he get moved to the defensive line?

The Maryland loss has led us to offseason levels of thread derailment. I fear what’s going to happen if we don’t string together a few wins in the next 5-6 weeks.

It makes you wonder was Major Applewhite just miles above Beck as an OC or was Greg Ward just miles better than what we're rolling out with Sam/Shane here. Herm had no problem coaching a damn good offense against OU while at Houston. Just makes me more livid.

And don't forget that we gave Curtis Martin's draft stock a nice bump.  That 1994 defense gave up 171 yards per game on the ground.

Donte Womack once put up over 100 yards on our defense. It always seemed like we spotted each RB about four yards before they were in danger of being tackled.

The latter IMO.  Ward was a very underrated QB at UH.  When plays broke down at UH, he could always make yards with his legs and was surprisingly clutch with his throws.  Basically the opposite of Sam.

[EtOH 63]

Tuesday night, still ragey. Our coach is a prick who loses. My son is 9 and he’s never seen a good Texas team in his lifetime. Even in the pits of the 80s and 90s we still had 1990. I’ll let it lie and just shut up, but I’m completely done with Herman.

Greg Ward is an athletic freak. He made Tom Herman $28.75 million dollars. Also, I’m not sure Tom realized how much teams get up to play us. Houston is the team on the schedule that sneaks up on you. That doesn’t happen here. 

[Nicole44 22,068]

Not to ruin the momentum like I always do but if Herman had started the press conference with “and the flowers are still standing” he might have won my vote. . Might. Have.

[Chopper 17,239]

If the coaches had switched jobs and Matt Canada had been coaching on the Texas sideline and Herman on the Maryland side is there any doubt Texas would have annihilated them? Fire Tom Herman.

I thought we Mensa qualified folk supported one another.

Also, why the fuck are we arguing about this again? Is it off season?

Something to bring levity & slow the bickering, is seeing choreographed dancing:

I think things may work themselves out as the season progresses, as the team gets acclimated to the speed that opponents may bring on both sides of the ball...

[alphahorn 1,637]

Tom Herman watches the video below and gets inspired. Damn that crew chief is persistent.  That dude doesn't quit at the first sign of adversity.  He's a leader.  I bet he hugs fatties after he scores a rushing touchdown.  That's the kind of shit I want in my football team. SAM, SAM, where the fuck are you SAM, you're starting again next week!
