which is why we are now in a new regime.. Don't understand the people who are/were in full faux rage about Herman not getting enough time.
Thiefery, I've been talking to some of my Texas buddies about their feelings on what the mentality is now at UT. They are nervous UT will go "rogue" and start doing anything to win. Anything. That's not the way Texas has always been. Dirty recruiting, dirty players, dirty playing were all avoided or pretty much taken care of soon at Texas after it became obvious what was happening. But now? Will UT go over to the dark side in their desperation to turn things around? One of the best things about the OU/Texas games is there has not been a lot of cheap shots. Just good hard nosed football with a heaping helping of hate. But no cheap shit like Colorado used to do as a matter of routine. "Playing the game" is what shit schools like Baylor do. Maybe Sark is going to play on the edge but I'd advise him to do everything he can to stay clean because, trust me, if the NCAA ever has a chance to royally fuck Texas for serious violations they will do it pump up their own image.
They've been handicapped for years now even under Strong. Waddell was a silent, but then had an uncle who took over his recruitment (heard this before? lol) and began asking.. Bama gave him 80k and he committed to them.. now that was a BARGAIN for what that kid has done for that program on the field.
With the NIL coming into play.. how much will that boost NE? I also wonder if y'all do make a return to the Big12 next round of realignment, I really think it may be real.
Good to know that will change in 13 years. But yeah congrats on the wins during the leather helmet days!
lol these days recruits taking unofficial visits to wherever. Recruits here fly from TX to CA to OH to FL all on their own **dime**. Also, for school up north that are hampered by any hours limit.. get connected with Ro Simon or similar 7 on 7 coaches/trainers. They will take the team to your campus on their own **dime** and will also help steer a kid towards the school too. It's a wild west in TX these days, gone are the times of THSB coaches being the most important person besides momma.
Hard to believe. Man, that's real hard to believe unless Boulware is just a total idiot.
woulnd't Nebraksa need a rowing team first?
That doesn't concern me as much as Chandler Morris taking the offensive playbook with him to TCU.
Troy Aikman saw the handwriting on the wall after OU's National Championship 1985 season when he had lost his starting job to freshman Jamelle Holieway (due to Aikman suffering a season-ending injury in the Miami game) and he decided he wanted to get out of OU. So Switzer called Terry Donahue at UCLA and eventually Aikman decided that's where he would go. However, Donahue called Switzer back and said "Did you realize we're the first game on your schedule this coming season?" Switzer said he did and admitted it was going to be kind of a conflict with Aikman transferring with all that knowledge in his head. So they worked out a deal where Aikman would not report for practice until after the OU game (which was UCLA's first game of the season). Donahue asked Switzer if he trusted Aikman not to spill the beans before they played each other. Barry said "Sure". And that's how it went down. OU 38 - UCLA 3. And Aikman reported the next day on Sunday for film study. That was also the game where Brian Bosworth painted "UC" on the sole of one of his shoes and "LA" on the other one.
I would be willing to bet this is the first time in his life anyone ever said Herman might be too smart for anything
He really is a member of Mensa.
