two things can be right:

He's a good guy, great teammate and does charity work.

He did a stupid act, did it at a stupid time, ran his mouth at a Longhorn legend

Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater 

He did a stupid act, Sark is punishing him "in-house", He apologized, Sark apologized, Delconte apologized. I am sure both of them had very blunt discussions with him. I have written a very stern letter.

Let's move on, there is no need to put a new saddle on a dead horse 

Does this mean we can stop talking about it now and move on?

Call me crazy but if he’s giving me 5.5 sacks every week I’ll take the 15 yards……

Go away

It's a dead ball foul. Points would not be removed.

Glad to be wrong.  I just vaguely remembered something about points coming off the board over excessive celebration.  That might've been the NFL, or No Fun League.

What rules allow for that?  Curious. 

Don’t know of any but I figured college is the NFL minor leagues. Not sure of contractual details with them being paid now.    Just a thought of another way to control crazy behavior on and off the field.

For this statement to be made the way it was… some higher ups around UT must have been extremely pissed IMO 

More pissed about celebrations from the #1 team in the country, than they are about Nansen driving drunk as one of their coaches.  Delconte is pathetic.  

I doubt we will see a repeat of this behavior again. Now let's focus on our missed tackles, which are plentiful. 

As you know I am one of the vets on here. Back in the day, when NFL defensive lineman and linebackers could basically kill quarterbacks. Imagine what the Steel Curtain would do to a quarterback, as a form of revenge,  for disrespecting their team? Lyle Azado of the Raiders was crazy. He was a steroid freak with a horrible temper. Man, the stuff they got away with was brutal. Quarterbacks had to be incredibly tough to play the game in the 70's. My point being there is no point in poking the bear.

You should ask Colin that question, because he apparently can't...

He needs to turn over his social media to a marketing professional and fast.

This whole thing has been blown way out of proportion. a major overreaction imo

You don’t know the pushback CDC was getting from the money or BOR. He obviously felt he needed to. 

Not sure refs could dislike us much more than they did already.

Less concerned about image of the school.  Yeah, it's a thing, but it's also 2026.  More concerned about 15 yards and extending the other team's drive.  On Raleek's idiocy, 6 points could've come off the board.  That would've been a game losing play.

Image of school, everybody hates us.

Have doubts a lot of the more extreme reactions are Horn fans. Thinking 3 for 39 bringing in a lot of trolls. And some of the insane criticism of players and coaches. Hard to believe they are our fans.

really sucks that the boosters care so much more about the celebrations than they do Nansen that CDC had to call out the guy who had 5.5 sacks and the guy who scored the only touchdowns in a bye week newsletter
