Rice at Texas - Game 1
Brooks has to catch that shit. That would have been an easy 6.

Rice at Texas - Game 1
Especially in the second half of whatever game we play the week before Okie Lite.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Not a fan of this shit. Hard to read.

Take that, refs. We'll fucking score anyway.

Huge Piece of Shit and alleged Woman Abuser Chris Beard has been hired at Mississippi
As I've said before, if Beard is guilty as charged, then his ass needs to be gone. But I'm fine with the process the administration is using. Suspend him until we have all the facts and a clear understanding of what happened. Then if the facts do indeed bear out that Beard had culpability in the situation, then yes, fire him under the conduct clause of the contract. You don't want to fire him prematurely, though, and then have it come out later that his firing happened to be unjust. If that were to happen, we would never be able to land another coach worth a shit here. So yes, caution and due process is an absolute must, even if it means that things are proceeding slower than we would like.

No, Mike Leach, YOU'RE awesome! [Pirates Last Voyage]
Leach was one of a kind. I used to dread the week Texas would play Tech every year when he was coaching there. He truly was a mad genius, and he almost single-handedly made football more entertaining with his innovations. Sad I never made it down to Key West to perhaps randomly bump into him at some bar down there. He seemed like he would have been an amazing person to talk to. His quotes and takes were legendary. He will definitely be missed. Pour one out for the Pirate. 🤘

I thought Freeze got in trouble for using his university-provided phone to arrange sex with hookers? Fuck me, I can't keep up with all the scandals these days.

Touché.

Ever applied for a security clearance? And yeah, if you're being paid multiple millions of dollars to represent a high-profile athletic program, then the standard is probably a little higher than it would be for, say, a line cook over at McDonald's.

This. It's one thing to defend yourself if you are being attacked, even by a crazy woman. But in that case, you do only what you have to do to free yourself and get out of the situation. Anything else is excessive. If they have audio proving that he went far beyond doing what he needed to do to get out of the situation, then he's fucked.

Well, in its defense, it's a damn good county fair.

This is absolutely a setback, but let's not forget that Baylor won a natty less than 20 years after a major scandal in which one of their players murdered another one. We can rebuild IF (and only if) we get the right guy in place.

Sigh. This is why we can't have nice things. Yes, I agree we should wait and let the facts play out, but this looks very, very bad. If he did what he is accused of, then he is done here. And probably everywhere else. Why does it always seem like we take one step forward and then two steps backward as a program?

I'll toast to a 6-6 Oklahoma tonight
I'd rather be us than 0U right now, for sure. Cheers! [EDIT - well I meant in the context of how our respective programs are going...frankly if I were a Sooner, I wouldn't admit that fact in public, LOL.]

Texas vs. tcu - 6:30pm on ABC
"Hey coach, what do you think of our team's execution tonight?" "I'm all in favor of it."

Tell Me About Texas a&m
We said the same thing before they shitcanned Sumlin, too. Doesn't matter, the next goober they hire won't change a damn thing. Because coaches aren't superhuman gods who can fix the weird cultural issues of that place.

Texas vs iowa state - 11am on ABC
Our defense made the plays when they had to, especially with the turnovers. And that was absolutely huge. But otherwise, our defense was a beating to watch for significant stretches. The most galling thing to me yesterday was seeing Iowa State going for it on 4th and long in their own end of the field. They knew they would make it, and sadly, I did, too. If our pass defense was even remotely close to competent, that would have been an obvious punt situation.

Final 5 games - What does your bitchass say?
I want to believe, but Okie Lite and TCU both worry me. None of the upcoming games will be a cake walk. I think 3-2 is realistic to me. Hopefully Texas will rise up and exceed my expectations. Finishing 8-4 and going to a decent bowl game would be a step up for this program after the last 10 years or so in the wilderness of suckitude.

Guessing they missed all the non-calls where ISU was holding our receivers for long periods of time.

Glad we got the Dub, but my God we looked like ass for most of this game. Hope we get things fixed muy pronto before Okie Lite next week.

Rhule
I've heard Heupel left OU on pretty acrimonious terms. Maybe they could kiss and make up, but who knows.

Rhule
Yeah, Nebraska was the first landing spot for Rhule I thought of when I heard this news for today. It would make too much sense. I don't know if Rhule would be the guy to restore them to their former glory, but at minimum, he probably could at least turn that place into a "Matt Campbell at Iowa State" level of results. Rhule going to OU would be scary, but they would seriously have to tap every oil well and meth lab in Oklahoma to pull off canning Venables so soon and hiring Rhule. I'm not sure if they have that kind of scratch on hand.
