Totally pointless comparison.

Don't see a list for:

11-1 Regular seasons

Conference Championships

CFP 

Top 5 recruiting classes

Amen!!! How about record versus Maryland? Remember Tommy needed a miracle to squeak past KU in 19 when we were celebrating the 40 anniversary of the 69 national champions.

Gerry,

 

I know I already responded, but, this is really rubbing me the wrong way.

 

Something to consider here called "Trend Lines".  

A guy with a stock portfolio that he has mismanaged down from $10M to $1.5M and another that has built his portfolio from $0M to $100M.

When charted, like the Yahoo above did, they will cross.  No relation to one another other than at some point the portfolios were of equal value.  It means nothing .......

 

Other than, all day long, I am investing with the guy whose trend line is going through the roof.

This is like comparing tomatoes and Red apples.  Both are red and are fruit, but, the comparison is utterly ignorant simply on its face.

I remember the recruits committing in waves ... NOT. I also remember great team building ideas like humiliating half the team by serving them burnt toast and runny eggs. And who could forget the urine color charts?! Yeah, those were great times.

I will admit I was excited when Herman was hired. He had such a rapid rise and looked to be on the right path to success. I thought he was the man that would bring us back. But his ego and self-centered attitude is what ended up getting him fired. Ironically, some of what happened to him are similar to Sark’s dark years (mainly self-centered egotistical attitude).
Yes, we won some games while he was head coach. But at Texas we SHOULD win most of our games, and with Herman it never really felt these guys were playing for each other. Primary example of this was Sam standing alone at the cotton bowl for the eyes of Texas. That was the nail on Herman’s coffin for me. All that controversy surrounding the eyes of Texas AND CDC telling him to fix it was blatant disregard for the fans and the university IMHO.

One guy is genuinely likeable, honest, and inspiring to the team, university community, and fanbase. 

The other is a complete a-hole to everyone he meets. 

Even if these myopic, cherry-picked results are "similar" the experience of everyone involved in Longhorn athletics is night and day.
