  1. No and no, but Rodney Terry, if let go, is about guaranteed a successful stint at his next gig. If I was another team looking for a coach I would play the probabilities and hire him.
  2. I think the “just didn’t like football” is definitely overlooked sometimes. Kids can come up and have elite testing and measurables and just not be a football player. There aptitude or drive is not bent to the sport.
  3. 1. Yes 2. Yes, I will always root for success for Texas teams. I hope Johnson. Pope, and Mark catch fire shooting 3s in the tourney like Blanks,Mays,and Wright.
  4. Florida is a really good team. Nice win
  5. I didn’t gird them. DL just seems scary and different to me. I usually do, but PTSD on losing out on in state DL for years have left that room thin. We say we will come back and get these guys (and we did last cycle), but see the LSU gang from last year that we didn’t go back and get. Just scares me.
  6. This is concerning.
  7. Achieved more than expected I would say Quandre Diggs and Adrian Phillips. Great college players, but I wasn’t sure with measurables they would make it in the league.
  8. Kirby Smart there, yes! Curse enacted
  9. Last time someone called a 40 time……ummm
  10. Vernebles has been and will continue to be an amazing hire for Texas fans.
  11. Seems like a good hire. Hope we can maintain the presence in Louisiana that Terry Joseph afforded us.
  12. It’s a question thread?! I just asked a question. Looking forward to your next art. Don’t get the vitriol.
  13. You’re right, thank you OTF police. Not on your watch, buddy. Glad we have a Gestapo
  14. Censorship? Why do you care what I ask so much? Having a spring game sinks the season for you? Why does one practice for fans that support the football irritate you so much?
  15. They told us to ask? 😂 I am over it. Just don’t buy it.
  16. Leadership at the Univaersity of Texas seems to be for a 9th conference game, but against an exhibition spring game for the fans. One of these things makes money, and one does not. The reason given for omitting the spring game was that it is physically too taxing on the starters (presumably since they play the long season) in a longer season. How is another SEC game less taxing than the spring game or a non conference game that would both iinvoke playing backups and seeing the future? Further, if the long season is not the real reason for cancelling the spring game, what is the real reason?
  17. That’s what I was going to say. Seven Spanish Angel’s
  18. My point exactly . But the statement above was that it was just a business like the NFL. That doesn’t mention family or the school or the fans.
  19. Because you know? What about viewership? I don’t don’t know, but I can think maybe if it irritates me (a fan BTW) it might irritate someone else. Not a hard stretch. And not saying as it is, but if it keeps becoming more and more about business and less about the fandom and the connection to the college with rogue rent a players that don’t even care about being at the specific school. Then what?
  20. Hypothetical. I said if. Not what attendance is now. IF it becomes all about business then it becomes semi pros. See USFL, or XFL attendance.
  21. You make it all business see what happens, but I agree with quote above that you can’t change it. What you can do is complain about it. You make college football a business and it’s the minor league NFL with no fans. Has to be about college and fandom.
