My predictions: TT 35 Pigs 21 UT 17 ou 31

I saw VY on tv, he was doing a pretty good job on the LHN postgame.  So was his doobie bro. Both are well spoken and articulate.

[Hidden Content] Surprising news dropped out of Dallas Monday afternoon with the sudden, untimely resignation of SMU head football coach June Jones just a mere two weeks into the season. The Mustangs had been outscored in their first two games 88-6 and were entering a bye week looking listless, atrocious, and fit for the glue factory. Up next on the SMU schedule is a September 20th home game against old Southwest Conference foe Texas A&M. The Aggies' offense has scored a scant 125 points in their first two games. What could possibly go wrong for the Ponies? Nevertheless, Jones gave himself the death penalty and leaves a once-proud program in need of a unifying leader - and fast. We're here to help, Ponies. While you refused to credential Good Bull Hunting yet again for media access next weekend, we've decided to take the high road and offer our esteemed, reputable coaching search firm consulting services GRATIS. We've got a helluva Rolodex and have identified a number of dynamic football minds that are available as early as this afternoon's practice to lead this program back to glory and excess. Here is your replacement shortlist: Houston Nutt What He Brings You’re going to need players. Houston Nutt RECRUITS. The man once took 37 guys in one recruiting class forcing the Southeastern Conference to enact new rules. Just think of the possible synergies with your well-heeled, morally bankrupt donors eager for a winner. I offer you Exhibit A from Nutt's days at Arkansas beating the piss out of Texas at the Cotton Bowl in your fair burgh. via cdn0.sbnation.com Get this man on your sideline in a comically large Stetson and some custom red and blue boots. The wins will follow. Red Flags Nutt knows very little about X's and O's, modern football, or anything really. The man brings the sizzle though, and if you're going to be selling some rotted horse meat to the pretentious dickbags in Dallas, it better come with a lot of pomp and sizzle. Barry Switzer via i2.cdn.turner.com What He Brings Sure, Houston Nutt can recruit in sheer quantity, but this part of the country has never quite seen a recruiter like one Barry Switzer. While he was at Oklahoma, he essentially tossed a massive lasso around the state of Texas and hauled the finest talent up to Norman. If that ain't salesmanship, I don't know what is. Look, you're SMU. The only time you've amounted to dick is when you were cheating your asses off. Bring in Switzer, rally the bagmen, and operate with the intention of being Dallas' TRUE NFL franchise. Hell, you don't even need to worry about salary caps! Red Flags Yes, it's been quite awhile since y'all got the infamous Death Penalty from the NCAA. And yes, that organization is led by paint-huffing dunces. Still, they love taking the moral high road and would certainly keep a close eye on ol' Switzy and the Ponies. Also, Jerry Jones is a vengeful sumbitch. Are he and Switzer on speaking terms? If not, it might not be wise to have them sharing a city again. Mack Brown via assets.sbnation.com What He Brings This man was put on earth to talk to deluded, asshole billionaires - AKA, your donors. With him cooing into the ears or your enraged/disenfranchised benefactors, you as the administration can finally get some peace while you try to rebuild this mess. Red Flags Mack is getting rather poncy and entitled in recent years. Not sure if he has the drive. Can't X and O his way out of a Pop Warner game. Rick Neuheisel What He Brings If there was ever a cultural fit for SMU, it'd be a guitar-playing, mock-turtleneck-wearing, blonde-haired coach who dabbled in high-stakes recreational gambling and cocaine. This man is you, SMU. Plus, his son is currently on the roster. Y'all love nepotism. Red Flags Probation is inevitable, but hell, strike while the iron is hot. via gamedayr.com Craig James via i.kinja-img.com What He Brings Proud programs often like to bring in a coach who has ROOTS and GETS THE CULTURE of the job. This enterprising man was at the Zenith when SMU was slushing funds and beating the piss out of everyone in Texas. He's folksy in that Dallas way where he'll "aw shucks" you to death while he pillages you out your life savings. Red Flags His reputation needs a lot of work. The man got cult hero Mike Leach run out of Lubbock. He then ran for Senate and was completely humiliated and crushed. His SMU days can best be described as "dicey". But F it. He's available, you need a coach, and Texas A&M is going to put this crippled Mustang out its misery if y'all don't heed the advice of GBH Consulting, LLC. Thank you, we look forward to your call, and always #Rememberthe5. - The Sirs at Good Bull Hunting.

Not sure what you mean about storm trooper? Love you're worried about our look and us running up the score on people. Times have changed. How'd your peeps like they temp seat and all those gadgets in CStat?

People complaining about Aggies running up the score........my how the times have changed.

PMACK bringin it mid-week! just when some of us where gettin soft.

They look like #7, #8 and #5 from where I'm sitting. [Hidden Content]

I 'think' he made those comments before the BYU game.

I'm looking forward to the game.  Grew up going to visit my Grandparents outside of Knoxville as a kid. UT rules the state of Tenneessee, those folks love the Vols.  Lots of cousins and so forth been real quiet the last 3 or 4 years.

2:30 ABC Must not be much going on that day. [Hidden Content]

Home field advantage ?

Big game bobby and his brother had a rough night in the 2013 Cotton Bowl. He has a short memory. [Hidden Content]

That my friend was a Great Post. Cliche' I know, but I do know how you feel.  I sat through Fran and Sherman era and many a time I was asking myself on the drive up and back.....why? Hang in there.  For all the Crap I dish out to the Horns, I mean it when I say: It will get better. Your love for your University will be there win or lose and you can be thankful for that.

Home game, kinda.

Bad idea

I listened to tech game on radio sat nite. They didn't impress.

Top 10. That make it easier for you? Polls are what they are. You and I aren't gonna change it. I'm happy, you're not. Life

I'd try a different pre game speech. "It's an embarrassment. It's an embarrassment to this program. It's an embarrassment to this university, and I knew it, and I didn't do anything about it. And I take responsibility and all the blame for this loss. I knew during warmups we weren't ready to play. I called the team up and told them we're not ready to play. Our focus isn't there. We're getting ready to play a really good football team and we're going to get embarrassed if we don't watch out, and that's what happened tonight."

Sounds like he's throwing the players under the bus...........

List your top 20 Otherwise quit whining

40% of top 10 in the SEC WEST

Starts Saturday

Pretty much #WRTS

Good catch

"Strong said he sensed his team was going to be embarrassed again after watching them during warm-ups. "Just the whole demeanor. Just how they took the field. Just how they carried themselves," Strong said. "If you've been around long enough, you know. I knew that. I told them that before we ever went out. I said we're not ready to play. When you're not ready to play, this is a good football team, and we're probably going to go out here and get embarrassed."
