Got 1st round last Monday. Scheduled for 2nd round on 2/5. No issues other than a sore arm for a couple days. Pretty tired on second day but it might be due to travel.
Was there in the end zone and had a serious drunk going on from all the games prior. Never seen a game turn like that one with Simms meltdown. Then the comeback with Major and the letdown at the end. Absolutely exhausted walking out of the stadium at the end of the game.
That one stung but I’ve seen far worse performances in big games by the horns.
Who gives a shit. College football has turned into the the top 3 and some random fourth team that doesn’t belong (sometimes ou).
The playoffs have ruined what used to be a great regular season and several kick ass bowl games that everyone watched. I miss the arguments about who was best and even the years when we had split national championship teams. The rivalries were better and the hate was real.
and get off my lawn.
RIP coach.
My first year there was 1986 and to be honest it wasn’t a good year. We went 5-6 with a bad loss to OU. Lost to arky, aggy, tech, Baylor, and Stanford also. And that was it for Fred. Toxic Texas isn’t that different today when the shit hits the fan (other than the internet and social media).
Growing up I saw a kickass game with SMU in the early 80s at Texas stadium and I was ‘hooked’. Always loved Fred and the badass defense he put on the field. By 86, the defense just wasn’t as talented which I’m sure has something to do with the ridiculous cheating in the SWC.
And fuck Mike Barnes. I knew him in 86 and he should know better. What the fuck has Mike Barnes done in his life that would remotely justify shitting on coach Akers? What a dickhead.
Freeze and Mullen MIGHT have a win % slightly higher than TH. But that’s not going to be enough for the swinging Ds to write that buyout check. Believe the thread title.
Where does that buyout money come from? That buyout had strings attached by the people fronting that money. That buyout money isn't there to ditch Herman to hire James fucking Franklin.
Exactly. Buyout money is conditional on hiring UM.
I thought my post earlier was the most probable scenario (backdoor top 10 finish with an 8-3 record and stay with Herman). But UM seems like he’s just itching to get back in the game - the fox pre game show today was telling.
Confirming the misery of 91CB. It’s a day and game that’s burned into my memory never to be purged it seems. At least I was hammered for the UCLA 97 game.
This is correct. The big joke here is that there is no real coaching search happening - it’s simply a smoke screen. It’s either UM and a funded buyout or stay with TH. CDC won’t be able to get the buyout from the BMD for any of the scrubs out there.
if he does get the buyout for a Fickel or a Patterson, my hats off to him. Ice, eskimos, sales, whatnot...
