  1. I have a little different take. I do not think he was all bad. He tried to inject a little bit of sizzle in a conference that was (and is) mired in never-never land (never good enough to hunt with the big dogs, but never crumby enough to be a MAC clone). Let's face it. If you have a crappy piece of meat, no matter how you cook it...........it tastes terrible. I think he didn't understand how difficult dealing with University Presidents, AD's, etc really could be. It gives new meaning to the phrase "hearding cats". The Tech thing probably just pushed him over the edge. Speaking from experience, sometimes a divorce is best for all parties.
  2. Good question. When I watch other games with these clowns, there is always controversy. Here is what I will say about them. They are consistently inconsistent. They consistently call 'ticky-tack' fouls while outright muggings go unpunished. They consistently call fouls in the fourth quarter that were not fouls earlier. My suggestion when these guys show up is to get a BIG lead and run clock.
  3. This is not correct. You must have gotten your data from MSN!
  4. Seems like a pretty 'buttoned-up' guy to me. This game seemed a little different to me. Yes there were a couple of absolute bone head incidents.............but all in all our penalties were from being over aggressive. For the first time all season, we played with our tails on fire. Frankly, I (and my newest best frient Spec's), will live it!
  5. Yep that was great. We were in upper deck. The Texas trainers turned him around. We had terrible seats. Around row 3-4 on the 5 yard line or so, then Stoney Clark snatched victory form the jaws of defeat. I yelled so long and hard that I got dizzy. I had bruises on my back from the guy behind.........whom I did not know.
  6. B.S. We had multiple "brain farts" yesterday. Something that is very unusual for UT athletic teams in any sport........but it happened. By in large my take on the game was there we were a little 'over-hyped'. Usually that wears off after a quarter, but our guys were ultra into the game....... I will live with it. If you want ultra cool.........go be a USC fans.........plenty of seats available.
  7. You seem happy? Why? It is to our advantage for OU to keep Brent! It is to our advantage for AM backers to think that Numero Uno in NIL = Nattie............ Some of you guys are very shallow thinkers...
  8. YEP. The beauty of these kind of games early in the season is that the coaches can see those who can play........ and those that can make plays. Masco was the difference maker in this game. He forced a shift in the opponents "motus operandi".
  9. I am asking because I have zero knowledge of LSU's internal workings. I wonder how much of this is being generated and driven by the athletic department vs. how much is coming from the $$$$$ men? We know Tech was Cambell'$ war. Their coach was just a duckling......... To me, the LSU thing has a slightly different smell. Help me understand.
  10. "We handled everything the right way and with integrity........." Weel, that is what I get for not following the Red Raider Saga more closely! I'm embarrassed. All I remembered was whining about TT being verbally abused, and being compliant with a less than transparent player regarding his addiction. (and his entourage). Thank you Mr. Campbell for setting me straight! Please accept my apology for any 'tacky' thoughts that I may have had.I
  11. Dear Marcel There is a lot of football between now and the Texas game. You may want to re-adjust your focus. If not, the Bluebonnet Bowl will be in your future.
  12. Unfortunately, CJ is in the age group that thinks being super critical, sprinkled in with a dash of pessimism is the cool journalistic thing......... It will pass, but he is a long way from his 40's.
  13. Given what I have seen with the Astros pitchers (my only real reference point), TJ is really a 2 year start to finish heal. lf you rush it, you risk further damage.
  14. WE HAD 2 PENALTIES FOR 30 YARDS................ WE DID, HOWEVER SHOOT OURSELVES IN THE FOOT WITH FUMBLES AND OSCIES
  15. Not sure which game you are referring to, but if it is a certain Cotton Bowl...............well, we all know the story!
  16. Wow, what a great group. All of these guys were super. As a Galveston guy, I will always be a Big Casey is numero uno. I became a life-long Horn with the 65 Orange Bowl. 4th and goal for the game. Not one Alabama offensive lineman made it to the line of scrimmage.....much less Joe Namath. But the picture of that play on my wall as a high schooler. Mitchel was at Texas when I was there. 30 straight wins! Royal teams never ever made mistakes like we see today. There were no off-sides, holdings, motion, illegal blocks, busted assignments. The message was clear, "You F-up and another all-american is waiting to replace you."
  17. They have other cards to play........but those options would create a full-blown media war and leave egg on someone's face. This option keeps all the B12 noses clean. Really, the B12's current approach is not dissimilar from Tech using the "medical issue card" approach. [for those that can't figure this out: Tech used the generic medical issue/save the child card.......the B12 is going to the we love the child, but we have to adhere to our Bylaws card].................or. It's me, not you! PS: I watched a UTuber yesterday that featured a well know Tech guy. He was adamant that Tech had gone down the wrong path and is bringing all the ugly attention to Tech. His idea was to 'move' Sorsby to NFL and save face.
  18. ? Gambling on your team or against your team is not allowed by the NCAA or any other league as far as I know. That makes it illegal if you compete in that league. He breached his NCAA contract. I am not aware of any sports league that would allow such behavior. This is NOT an issue of preference! Tech has made a mockery out of the NCAA which ultimately means they have disrespected everyone that competes in the NCAA sports arena from D1 through D3. By the way, this has nothing to do with NIL! And, I am not sure your favorite schools hand signal is even in the same conversation. Hookem, I've got a serious issue with your response.
  19. Correction: ... should play another ..... i am confused: Why have rules if you do not or cannot enforce them? Our society has gone off the rails.
  20. There is some good feedback noted above. As we all know, a number of posters seem to be all upset when we don't win. And win convincingly. This is tournament ball. It is not regular season ball. Generally, defense, pitching, and putting the ball in-play are the keys. High strike-out teams rarely win a 4-team double elimination. Coaches do not "save" pitchers. To this end, I really like our chances. The mental toughness required over the SEC schedule should be to our advantage. While the other three schools are certainly worthy, their week in-week out schedules are not comparable. Our guys face top tiered pitching every single week and often get a #1 in the Tuesday game. PS: if you go to the Disch......make it a home field advantage
  21. I assume that this game is to help Lucas recruit his hometown. Maybe give the hoard of UT fans in Houston something to do. Is Miami supposed to have an UP year?
  22. well, they play like girls. should be a good marriage!
  23. What about the guy at Tech, that Baker couldn't beat out? That didn't win any post season awards.
