You look at Kansas over there and it's just all about the tradition of Les Miles being confused that the grass at DKR doesn't taste like grass he's used to. 

I normally don’t give a shit about press conferences, but Herman should apologize to the fans and players today. He needs to own up to that shit show Saturday. I’m still pissed. 

I listened to B&E this morning and got pissed off all over again.  What an absolutely pathetic performance.  He better not trot out some tired ass coach speak, but I expect he will.

What do Herman, Coaches and or players need to do to get better over the next 6 games??

 

(Just curious what suggestions Surly Folks have  to help this Texas team return to this year's B12 Championship Game)

The one thing about Herman that’s always been in the back of my mind is the fact that he might care more about the money and fame of the position than the actual wins and losses. I hope that’s not the case. Losses would eat up Jimmy Johnson and Nick Saban. I’m not so sure losses make Herman feel that bad. Who knows.

Scrap the defense all together and simplify.  Where is Gerg when you need him.  

Saturday was a shit show but still don't expect Herm to say anything meaningful since we still have 6 games to play. We seem mentally weak from the coaching staff down so I bet this presser stays as PC as you can get so he doesn't further harm the team's mental.

He won't apologize.  He'll double down.  I'm sure he'll say he has full faith in Beck and Orlando and all is well. 

And he'll get a bunch of softballs from the Charmin Austin media about how the team played hard and only lost by 7 to the #6 team and what can we improve on and how proud he is we didn't give up

This. And he will trot out some Mack type stats.

Lulz.  The pattern's been established.   You're wrong, misinformed and misguided. It's been established up front that Herman is smarter than you and everyone else combined.  He'll entertain your idiocy, and everyone else's, but only for a short time.

No doubt changes have to be made on what the defense was doing last Saturday.  Just curious if Herman has the balls to shake a few things up.

Example:  Maybe move Andre Coleman to an on field WR coach and move Meekins to an analyst role for remainder of the season...

You think the Austin media goes easy on the team? If anything they are trolling cunts

Fire Orlando. Let the analyst that isn’t really an analyst coach.

Looking at the remaining schedule, I won't be surprised to see Whittington playing by the TCU  or K-State games.  Sure seems like BJ Foster is significantly hampered by his shoulder injury.

Curious if/when the following players are returning:

  • Overshown.....           back vertebrae
  • Collin Johnson......    hamstring/concussion??
  • Jalen Green......         dislocated shoulder
  • Caden Sterns.....          knee, ankle
  • Jeffrey McCullough...  dislocated shoulder
  • Chris Brown.....            Fractured forearm
  • Daniel Young......          high ankle sprain/stinger

Players probably gone for season??

  • Marcus Tillman.....      mcl sprain
  • Josh Thompson....      fractured foot

I'm more curious about our offensive line than anything to do with defense.

We’ve apparently never blocked stunts, twists, or delayed blitzes. Somehow missed assignments all fucking day

Saw some stat during the 1st quarter talking about how much Texas struggles to score in the 1st quarter...

WTF....WHY??

Tom, after last years RRS, Riley was smart enough to make a mid-season change and fire his weakest link. That move

has paid of for OU. Do you have the guts to do the same?

Because we have to see what the defense is willing to give us. Tom is a reactionary coach ala mack and gdgd.

Chip Brown...  If you are reading this, here's your chance to grow a sack and earn some goodwill from Surly.

Dude, it's coach speak, and we all know it. He'll say I'm sorry blah blah, and then change nothing. Ingram is still ahead of Rojo at this point, there's still no cohesion on offense, etc. If Riley can magically make 3 QB's Heisman contenders in a row, then it's a system, and surely if Sam is hurt someone else can run a system, no? I don't even care what he has to say. I'm sick of our staff like Warhime, Washington, and Meh. Yet here we are. No changes for the better. Lincoln stabbed Stoops in the chest like a man, and Herman hugs his buddies.

Herman:  that’s a really good team we just played. Really good.   I think the first half, where we held them to 10 points, shows what this defense and defensive staff are capable of.     I’m not going to overreact to one poor half of football against the beat offense in the country. We will figure out what worked and what didn’t, and adjust accordingly. Playing defense in the big 12 is hard.

I'm not. Bring that old motherfucker back. Same with Greg Robinson.

Tom?

"Tom....have you discussed flipping the script on shit-talking?  You know....where the shit-talking player actually does something that is shit-talk worthy before talking shit?.  Oh, and is it true that Dallas Baptist University called, and they want their practice t-shirts back?"

Winning is hard too.

Well, Deloss and Mack got their wish. The boys won too much and it wasn't good for them, and now it's time to dial it back a decade, so here we are. 

“Hi Tom. Texas is 10th out of 10 in the Big 12 in total defense. What do you think about that?”

I think we're going to need more "really".

Some interesting stats in this tweet. Duvernay having 8 catches for only 54 yards is a win like no other. Texas’ average starting field position at the 18.8 yard line, too.
