Urban Meyer or bust
Thank you for using "set the table", and NOT baked the cake!

That's probably pretty close, but there is no more track. I'm waiting for the post Dec 1st "end of the line".

Is it time to give notre dame a little respect?
Somebody bring me up to speed, did hell freeze over? Then, eh, NO!

Best 2-point plays?
The one I saw on December 6, 1969. No contest.

Texas opens as a 28 point favorite @ Kansas
Not as depressing as it would have been if he had missed.

If the universe unfolds in the following fashion, we play OU for the CC and lose. Herman is fired and replaced by U.M. Am I required or obligated in any way to thank the two OU fans that I actually talk to? That would be some damn cruel kismet. But I could live with it.

Remove UTEP from the equation because they were outmatched. Now, have you seen single one of our games where it appeared that the current group wearing Texas uniforms was a team, or gave 100% even 30% of the time? I'm under the impression that (most, but not all of) the group wearing Texas uniforms is not a team, but a group of individuals that have taken on their head coaches arrogance and perhaps only thinks of their relationship to the team when looking at the color of their urine.

I don't think this would be a good path toward hiring future coaches. Kinda like Tech using sovereign immunity to screw Leach. Better in the long run to not go there.

2020: Garrett Gilbert May Start for Cowboys
I lost count of how many of his passes were full speed bullets that bounced off the target, up (HIGH) in the air and were picked off. I've never seen a single QB do that so many times.

I don't know his job status at this point, except that nothing has been made public. My impression of CDC is that he is not a "sit on his hands" type of personality.
-
Tom "the turtle" Herman [Lame Duck or greatest 5d chess player ever?]
I would think CDC has already been a work. If Meyer would prefer USC for some reason, then I don't know what you do about it. But I doubt we would lose him due to lack of timely effort.

Are we playing down again?
At 11:00 to go in the 2nd, we are up by 3 to a team that looks less talented and well coached but not spectacularly so. Lot's of possible explanations, but I can't help but think we are right back in the Mackovic problem. A coach that thinks so highly of himself that he fails to connect as a leader with young men. Mackovic was more aloof, wine drinker, distant (tool). Herman comes across as more of an arrogant, (Vodka and G2?) distant tool. Either I'm reading it wrong, and we have a LOT less talent than we seem to show in flashes and flickers or there is a bit of a psychological gap between the coach and the team. This is my working theory, but then again I haven't tried Vodka and G2.

Turnover over/under tomorrow
Why not merge both? 5- turnovers (UT-2,WV-3) 5- punts

If UM is indeed the guy we are going after, and he is interested, I believe both sides would recognize the unique opportunity the other side represents. There is likely a fairly wide band between the minimum number the coach would see as acceptable and the maximum number The University would be willing to pay. There would likely be items of importance to the coach and various clauses that would take more time than the dollar number. IF this is something both sides are interested in I would be very surprised if there was much (if any) "hardball" negotiation.

That's going to require CDC and the site admins knowing their audience!

There is an invitation only virtual meeting with CDC on Monday. Dare I dream?

Texas opens as a 10 point favorite v West Virginia
It's on the same order, but just a bit below SCREWING UP THE COIN TOSS!

They do, but it's not without its loopholes.

Don't know the up to the minute status, but his wife has been having dizziness and migraines.

Tom "the turtle" Herman [Lame Duck or greatest 5d chess player ever?]
It would have to be a consideration, but if I were in CDC's seat I'd have my new guy under contract and perhaps a few more ducks in a row before I went public. I might even make my big donors feel like they are "in the loop" by letting them know what was done and have a private meeting between them and the new coach. Neutral site, like Vegas.

And our opponents are clearly paying attention!

Texas opens as a 10 point favorite v West Virginia
Less of a wonder and more of a wish or maybe even a prayer. You make the perfect point, how can we be in year 4 at Texas and no one can say "THIS GUY is our running back"(try to freaking stop him). Just last year Orlando was happy with making an opponent "one dimensional", we seem to be one dimensional when we step off the bus.

Texas opens as a 10 point favorite v West Virginia
Watching bits of of WV-K St. looks like they slowed down K-St's passing game and then only allowed 41 yds rushing. Can we establish a credible rushing game? Not just a rushing game to "keep them honest", but an actual "oh shit, here they come again rushing game. Also, I'm damn tired of watching the pocket collapse around Sam. Whatever it is TCU figured out, everyone else has been exploiting it. Yet, we have apparently decided to just ignore it. Short version, if I were a betting man, I'd take those ten points.
