March 26, 20187 yr Doesn’t it just “feel” like we’re on the cusp of something great? The last few years have beaten me into submission (almost) but I just get the sense that it’s changing. I guess i’ve had too much of the kool-aid but damn if I don’t believe.
March 26, 20187 yr I'll wait until the proof is in the pudding. When Charlie was hired, I remember everyone on Shaggy saying "at least we'll be competitive and wont get blow out anymore!". And we then proceeded to get our ass holes blown out worse than under Mack.

March 26, 20187 yr I'm cautiously optimistic. It depends on how quickly Coach Hand gets the offensive line working cohesively.

Herman has more than a few chinks in his coaching armor. Whether he shores that up or not will be revealed shortly, but the WTF to attaboy ratio was about even in my opinion, and that’s not enough to start doing keg stands over the koolaid pitcher just yet. Imoho. Edited March 26, 20187 yr by Bobby_Batronic
March 26, 20187 yr This program has had a culture of losing in recent history. That’s hard to turn around instantaneously. I’m hopeful, but I’m not going to start milking one out until I see some results.
March 26, 20187 yr I'll believe it when I see it. It's not that I don't wanna believe, but if Sam isn't the guy, we ain't doing shit next year. Is he the guy? Maybe. Maybe not.
March 26, 20187 yr As I've said other places, I refuse to drink the koolaid this year. Signs are all positive but we've been here before.
March 26, 20187 yr tom gonna take this season like stormy daniels on a cock or 3....or bob stoops on 5
March 26, 20187 yr Author Damn, misspelling on my first post. SMH. That’s got to be some kind of record. I watched Sam a lot his junior year at Westlake, and he was nothing short of brilliant. His last minute drive down the field in the title game was a thing of beauty. Will the light bulb come on this year? Idk but I have to think if he isn’t running for his life every on every pass attempt, he’ll be way above average...

March 26, 20187 yr You know, in late 2007, when there was an exodus from Hornfans to Shaggy, the football team was good. New message board = focusness.
March 26, 20187 yr 1 hour ago, ClubWhatever said: We're on the precipice One more bad year and I'm jumping off that precipice and onto a hoe.
March 26, 20187 yr We aren't gonna be forced to start 9 true freshman on defense and 6 on offense. That alone makes me think that Herman should have a better year-2 than Charlie.
March 26, 20187 yr Not for nothing OP but Do you know the story about the Zen Master and the little boy?

The offense seems like it will suck again although probably not quite as much and the defense will probably take a step back.
March 26, 20187 yr I sure hope so. But Texas football has kicked me in the dick a few to many times already.

Agreed, this team has burned me so many times over the last nine years (fuck, has it been that long) I will believe the turnaround after it happens. Same talk every year, same disappointing results.
March 26, 20187 yr If we don't beat Maryland there will be rioting in the streets Edited March 26, 20187 yr by NeverMarryAStripper
March 26, 20187 yr Yeah, There are a few things to look forward to but I wouldn't bet on a massive improvement. I'd be happy if we hit 8 wins. D will take a step back and don't see much reason to think the O will be more than slightly improved. Hand might bring a little help but the RBs need to be better and our WRs are still coached by the same guy who had them rounding off every route and jogging out of their cuts. Losing Dickson will be the biggest blow of all IMO. Pinning the other team back so consistently probably won us at least 3 games last season. Gained experience should help a fair bit but I don't see more than 8 wins on our schedule.
March 26, 20187 yr Mensa is doing a lot of right things with the roster. If he can’t get us there I will run out of hope

Gained experience should help a fair bit but I don't see more than 8 wins on our schedule. Well, kind of. Meekins is coaching the WRs along with Mehringer now, and based on reports on the portions of the practice open to the media, he seems to be the guy in charge of the WRs who should be the starters (in theory, anyway).
March 26, 20187 yr Yeah, if Meekins is working with the inside WRs it will be something to watch. I actually thought Meekins was my favorite surprise of Herman's staff choices from last season. His work with the TEs and especially with how he had Brewer developing way ahead of schedule before his injury was good to see. Worried about Warehime getting the TE job, and just being employed here in general. Herman keeping Warehime around was worse than Charlie keeping Watson for that second year IMO.
March 26, 20187 yr I like the Hand hire. Bad OL play just made our offense blow all year. It was the biggest thing to fix. I think there is good reason for optimism.
March 26, 20187 yr I'm going to wait to start being disappointed with football until I'm through being disappointed with baseball.

Gained experience should help a fair bit but I don't see more than 8 wins on our schedule. You might be right about the D taking a step back, (some inexperience/position changes at safety and LB, no Poona) but I think the potential is there to be even better. If someone fills Poonas role admirably, we'll be ok. As for punting, I think Dicko' s cousin will do pretty well, but kicker is the big thing..2, maybe 3 games lost last year because we didn't have even an average FG kicker. Hopefully Dicker can keep Rowland on the sideline..or only doing kickoffs.
