Mack is the best Longhorn poster on this board.  Every time I get a little down on the state of one of our programs, I remember little aggy and Mack is the epitome of the stereotype.   Can't seem to b

Good one. Kind of like losing to Miss State? You know, a conference  game a highly ranked  team should not lose in November.  We shall defer to your vast experience in this area.

I just now have had a chance to read some of this thread, and i have to address this twitter nonsense.   I get so sick of these thinly veiled accusations of racism that are thrown out at any and every

My how the standards have changed on the 40 acres. Excited about a coach who has lost to Navy, SMU, and Memphis in the same season. DKR must be rollin' in his grave, really! I wish him all the best though, seems like a good dude and all. He will fit right in with the whole austin being weird crowd with how he licks on his players before every game. Seems like a stand up dude too, telling his players at Cougar High that he would never leave them and how much he loved them all year, and then leveraging tu with threats to go to LSU on T-Giving night to speed up the process. Seems like his priorities are straight. I honestly thought Charlie deserved one more year, but the "good ole boy" network that runs tu made sure Charlie never had a chance from day one. Hopefully, he breaks the chain of "crash and burn coaches" from Cougar High. 

Wasn't Sumlin a cougar high coach? How quickly we forget the Francionne and Sherman years. Seems some other team had trouble landing a coach, but that was ok? Funny how all the ags are so concerned with a team that they had the greatest rivalry game in college football againse, AND THEY LEFT...after losing to CASE MCCOY.

This is the hidden content, please

Im intrigued by the Jim Leavitt...Definetly has been around some good defensive minds..As well as Rhodes 

also im hearing Applewhite could still be brought in as the case will close in two weeks 

Leavitt would be good coming from the Spreads in the PAC 12 as well as balance offenses....

I hear Applewhite probably won't return to Texas because he had an affair with a female team trainer on a road trip.  That incident set of some messy legal actions, etc.

That was apparently a source of the negotiations.  I hear the opposite.  If Herman chooses, he is free to bring him back.

If you step back and look at the big picture, the ncaa is messed up. if a  player makes a few dollars selling autographs it's a big scandal.  Or if a coach pulls out his credit card and buys one of his players plane tickets to fly home and see their parents it is a scandal. Names are vilified, reputations are tarnished.  Programs are sanctioned.  IF a player tries to transfer he loses time.  But, a coach is free to jump around from one million dollar contract to another, with no regard for the current contract with their team.  Something is jacked up about that.

My suggestion is don't commit to the coach, commit to the university.

It's called a job (Coach) vs and education to later get a job (player). Nothing messed up about that. 

On the otherside of this argument:

Scholarship Player doesn't produce on field. Scholarship Player sits bench. Scholarship player still gets education. 

Coach doesn't produce on field. Coach loses job. 

Therefore just like you and me Coach is always free to look for another job.

Scholarships are issued on a year to year basis.  Player isn't good, coach can cut him and pull his scholarship.  You don't see that happen very often, because it looks bad and would hurt future recruiting, but it is possible.  Most coaches just make things miserable for the kid until they transfer.

That is what happened to your QBs!

      Will Biden Be The Democratic Nominee For President?

      By Englebert · Posted

      That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.

      I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.

      But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling.

      Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
