Surly Horns Podcast Season 2 Episode 3 - Featuring RGBIII and Immamac
Dear Surly Assholes,
We have another episode - packed with the best information from the board. We had a bit of breaking news immediately following the recording and I have put that breaking news segment into the podcast.
This week's podcast focuses on Pruitt being fired, the DC hire, speculation on the LB/ILB hire (fire mike stoops), recruiting, the rona and much more.
I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording. As always there is a thread for the mailbag and this thread for feedback on the podcast.

Post in Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
I guess I’ll go ahead and say it: Chris Ash can lick our collective asshole, pack his shit, and head for the state border.
He was a fucking bum at Rutgers. Just complete trash in every way. He showed up here with his own brand of cronyism and mediocrity by imposing inexperienced trash on the program with the Valai hire. Valai immediately sprinted out and took a hogger-sized dump on the 50 yard line of the Texas program by being worthless as a coach and a nonentity in recruiting.
Ash delivered vanilla ice cream competence. Nothing special or unique, just gave the defense a vague hint of average. Outside of some time under Meyer while surrounded by other star coaches, Ash has amounted to sad comedy at worst and meh-relevance at best. Hit the fucking bricks, buddy, we’ll take our chances in the open market.

Post in Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
We should not lose coordinators or positions coaches to any schools. It's time Texas reminds the college football world we have more money than anyone. If Bama, ND, or UGA is targeting Muschamp, offer him 3.5 mil (1 mil more than Venables) to be the highest paid DC in the country and tell him to give you an answer right then and there. If you want Jeff Banks, double his salary from Bama. Make him say no. We raised all of this money and got turned down by Urban. Well what's stopping us from buying the country's best coordinators, position coaches, and support staff? Let Sark manage the offense and let Will manage the defense. We're going to have to buy our way to success. I'm done with coaches that need to learn on the job. Get the best guys, period. If they say no, make them an offer they can't refuse. It's time we pull our dick out and show how big it is. Let's see if other athletic departments, boosters, and schools will shell out the money we will in a pandemic. Fuck those schools... let's fucking go...

Tom Herman Fired as UT Football Coach
Almost as unceremonious as his past 2 victories to finish off the season, Tom "the turtle" Herman has been removed as the head coach of the Texas Longhorns.
We don't really wish you anything, but to get the hell out of here Tom.

2 hours to kick. Name the game thread.
You guys know what to do.
Also any comic or serious write ups about game predictions or keys to win or what this game means will be mashed up to be the OP of the game thread.
My contribution:
2020 Alamo Bowl: URBAN MEYER TO TEXAS EDITION
Before kickoff tonight the Longhorns come without all year starters at many skill positions. Sam will try his bestest to run away from the buffaloes that will surely be crashing through the decimated offensive line. RoJo will be the key to victory with his trusty sidekick Bijan Robinson who need to rush for a combined 200 yards to win the game. Colorado will come out in a strange cloud of skunky smelling smoke and be lethargic asking for snacks on the sidelines and throughout the game. Tom Herman will do his best turtle impression and fully display his completely limp dick energy in what is certain to be the final game as his coaching career at Texas.
Final prediction. 33-27 Texas.

Cheez-It Bowl - #21 OK State v. #18 Miami - 4:30 pm ESPN
Horrible bowl name, but the best matchup outside the NY6 (only one involving two ranked team). We're apparently favored by 1 point. Not sure why. Hubbard won't play. Tylan Wallace will play. Spencer Sanders is still a turnover machine. Gundy tends to let loose in meaningless bowl games so maybe we will actually have a decent offensive performance. Either way, hopefully it's a good mid-afternoon game before you guys throttle Colorado.

‘‘Twas the night before Christmas when all thru the thirsty 40, not a whiff of credible news, what happened to that gal port o potty?
The BDE was really hung by the firepit with flare. Surlies guzzling whisky/whiskey waiting for Urban to show up there.
The 9.95’ers were restless spewing their usual nonsense and dread while visions of desperate subscribers twerked in their heads.
Nightcrew rocking the hope while the Daycrew rocking the clap, Eltife’s already gathered the millions by passing the hat.
When out in the football world there arose such a clatter, FUPM tripped on his squatty potty and emptied his bladder.
away to the bay window nicole44 flew like a flash and (...paywall lol) the internet did crash
Those 9.95’ers with their sources who know those in the know. Reading their shit is like dipping a McRibb in a bowl of Mayo.
When what on FLIGHTAWARE should appear but Urban our new HC riding a flying Longhorn steer.

Fuck it! Merry early Christmas surly! It’s happening. Miracles do happen! Urban or Bust!
I have had more fun on this board in the past odd month or so than most of the entire year! Y’all are awesome. Thanks for not crowd sourcing me and letting me be me and post here!

Creating a more standard article like experience
We want your feedback, TL:DR we are going to start building out a better content experience for non-current posters/members.
For threads that have a decent OP or original content that anyone wants to write on any topic there will now be the option for me to turn it into an article from a thread and inherit the comments or you can create an article and it will automatically create a thread in the relevant forum. The comments will be synced between the articles and the threads, not every thread should be an article, but every article will have a thread (which in turn shows in the comments).
This will help with our SEO, but also it sets up the groundwork for some of the content that we will be producing (for free, forever) for the site. It won't be limited to just Football and Recruiting, but we will probably be fairly heavy on that side at first. Yes, this means we are going to have staff writers and possibly a staff photographer in the near future.
Eventually we will have the option where default navigation happens to either the forum or the "website", but a lot of search traffic will end up on the "website" section first and the forums after they figure out what is going on here.
Here is a sample of some existing threads that I pulled and put into the "Entertainment" page.
We will have these pages to start(linked pages are already live):
Football (all football related content, UT or not)
Texas Recruiting (not specifically football related, but mostly football)
Sports (all the other sports boards and their articles here)
Entertainment (movies, music, hobbies, lulz, food and travel)
News (Daily Texan and 6th Street Journal)
Politics (Cloak Room)
My ask of the community is if you are a Top Contributor (750+ rep full member) or have editor permissions (mostly recruiting) when you create new threads, if you are creating a longer format post that isn't to just kick off a discussion to think about creating an article, it's the same workflow from the top of the screen you will now have the option to create an article: I can clean up and move stuff around behind the scenes, but I can also create articles from threads that you don't follow this workflow through it's just a bit of extra work from an admin perspective.
I'm open to things like every 100k pageviews your article gets or 1M etc that there is financial incentive involved.
Also open to Post-Game Summaries that are commissioned regardless of pageview amount (25 bucks per or something like that to get started)
