I would just like to say that the post about Ingram being the only good part isn't true at all. Sterns played real well, jones did too. I even thought shark stepped up nice. 

The bright side is the freshmen and young guys played well. The only one that looked like shit was Ehlinger. The problem is if we have another shit season like last year and if Jimbo has any juice we won't be able to recruit that well again this year. We have to hope that Herman can ducking evaluate talent like a boss and find the hidden gems.

    I which one of our players--say Kyle Porter-- would've died in the offseason from heat exhaustion. So at least I would know they were doing shit.

He’s too skittish in the boat though.

I missed the first quarter+. I don’t remember seeing either side of the ball play with any speed. Maybe that first td I missed.

I’m kinda jealous.

True. So basically in the whole state of Texas we got a hybrid of: applewhite and Simms nooooooope. Just a vaguely weird smell

I mean like that's a bit much. I wish the coaching staff would take this shit seriously though and remember that they played fucking Maryland.

Maryland's backs - like last year were much, much better, speedier, and smarter.  I mean much. Very much.  Especially in the first quarter.  Overall team speed?  Meh.  Running backs?  Head and shoulders above any of ours in quickly hitting the holes, seeing them, making cuts, etc. 

They wore down a little in the game until the delay.  Texas only came out once in that hurry up offense and it looked like some decent, quick-hitting aliens invaded their bodies and they went right down the field.  But then those beings left their bodies and took off in their flying saucers for their home planet, and plodding Texas came back, especially after the delay.

We had 3 deep at rb listed for this game. He wasn’t going to see the field unless we needed deeper.

The oline didn’t completely suck.

Maryland’s true freshmen outplayed Texas in every shape, way and form. Their kids > Texas’ kids.

I don’t understand that. We haven’t been relevant since 2009.

I think this illustrates just how deficient our coaching staff is.

Its probably because every year we act like we have a chance to turn it around and fail miserably in the first game.  "1-0" should never be a motto of any fucking team.  Especially not one led by mensa herman derp.

That's what perplexed me. Porter over Carter? The fuq?

Because Joe Tessitore once yelled "TEXAS IS BACK FOLKS" after a victory

Coaching “buddy system” bites us again. So sick of that shit. Misalignment.

Well at least I have 100% more free time on the weekends this season

They used Porter in the most likely way he is suited for. Short yardage. Toe nail puts the ball on the ground.

How far?

Their backs had play calls that put them in a position to succeed. Ours did not.  Their receivers expected to catch the ball and run after the catch. Ours looked surprised to get a reception. Because of this both their backs and receivers looked faster and more engaged. That is not representative of reality. It’s representative of shit coaching. We are a reactive team under Herman, and I find it puzzling and very troubling. 

Ag least I don't have Lhn anymore so at least I don't have to watch the post game interviews

Why? Were you really expecting this team to be successful? 

I gave up pinning my hopes on an MFC about 7 years ago. 

Damn right, I expect this team to be successful.  If you gave up 7 years ago, then why are you here?

Anybody who says, "It's just Maryland" should be kicked in the teeth. 
Maryland is a better football team, especially coaching-wise, than Texas.
Maryland takes 2 and 3 star players and makes them competitive FBS-level athletes. 
Texas takes 4 and a few 5 star players and makes them worse over 4 years.  Except those who say "fuck it, I'm going to get better anyway."

Then they all go and get themselves drafted and play fucking lights out amazingly.

Because “maybe this time it’ll be different.”

And Lucy just pulls the ball away....again.

There’s nothing to like about this team. Or this coaching staff.

They are 2-3.  Note their scoring in the first 3.

 

 

At least the 'Horns still have a winning record against the Terps then...

If Shane is worse than Sam, let's start the freshman!   Also, my nickname for Sam is now scarecrow from the Wiz of Oz.  That boy has no brains.

 

Shane is obviously not worse at passing then Sam but Mensa wants a running qb at all times...

At least Lucy can hold onto the ball.  What's her eligibility like?

Oh, I agree, with the caveat that after 3 years at Texas, many backs just  become shitty anyway due to the coaching.  They coach the ability right outta them.

Sam's accuracy is just awful right now - even on screens and dump offs to wide open backs. And, he barely ran anyway - the decisions to abandon the speed option after two uses for 10+ yard per try and leaving Ingram on the bench in favor of motherfucking Kyle Porter were absolutely infuriating.

They should have at least given Shane a chance. I doubt it would have been much worse. If so, then it's time try Rising or maybe even Thompson. That shit today was an absolute embarrassment.

Yeah but apparently I’m a pussy for saying this. Seems like we need a game of no consequence to figure out what the fuck we’re doing 

They scheduled Maryland and Tulsa. You pussies are acting like we play Bama and Clemson to open the season. If you want to schedule directional state university for the blind and crippled, then yes, that’s pussy.

How does this keep happening?

Hoping App State can pull off the upset of Pedo State so our embarrassment falls into the background. That’s the state of Texas football right now.

True, but he's a great receiving threat 

Well, this thread is fun.

I've never actually negged anyone before because I think it's stupid. You just changed my mind. Why don't you step away from the keyboard and go find something constructive to do. Like switch loyalty to tOSU, aggy, OU, or Penn State. I have a feeling you'd fit in a lot better with one of those fan bases, you stupid fucking twat.
