Monarch, seriously, that last post is very hard to read.

Monarch just went Edmund Hillary on the board. Or Ted Kosinski. Either way.

anything and everything.. to stay with the negative silly season.  hey, i get it.  however, please learn how to spell good old ted's last name correctly...

"We will NEVER have that crap on our football players. Think I'm wrong?"​

dennis, are you feeling ok?  i present this query to you, upon an effort to give you the benefit of the doubt.. as per your extremely arbitrary statement highlighted above in red.  heck, i find your statement is so profound,​

that i do not know just how to respond....   well, i shall begin with the money!  i monarch, have never, ever, professed to being a rich man by any means period.  however, i have definitely professed to being a hard worker. ​

i have worked along side the US Military upon the Theater of Afghanistan as per basically a decade.  while i was there, i damn near turned half of a very fundamentalist country, heavily steeped in a muslim religion, culture, and tradition..​

into a burnt orange crazed paradise.  year upon year.. i have spent thousands and thousands, and thousands of dollars of my very own money.. working 80+ plus hour weeks, with no days off, trying very hard to temper the tide of ​

young afghan teens and young adults that wanted something.. just something with TEXAS on it.  this went on at damn near every base that i worked upon.  and you know what dennis.. these were some of the poorest​

individuals upon this planet earth.  these young people of afghanistan, didn't have anything material wise.  but there was one thing that stood out to me from the very start..  THEY HAD SWAG!  ​

upon my view, swag, is not about maroon and silver helicopters... it's about attitude!  strength, momentum, self confidence in spite of profound adversity.  i'm certain that you get the message....​

"those that want to stay traditional"​

now, when you so eloquently speak about "those that want to stay traditional".. are you referring to those, that are currently doing any and all possible, to sabotage our first black head coach, along with our​

new a.d. steve patterson's ongoing efforts, to move things forward without their usual egotistical intrusions...  those traditionalist?  now what is wrong with that picture?​

"know we are Texas and don't need to swag ourselves up"  ​

oh really?  well, if it wouldn't have been for vince young's profound houston, tx. inner city SWAG, that he brought upon the 40 acres.. TEXAS, would have never, ever, won the 2005 MNC.. period!  ​

surely, you don't believe that it was mack brown's illustrious play calling that won that highly coveted game.. do you?  if it wasn't for vince's SWAG and foremost self confidence, TEXAS would​

not have been in that game in the first place.  heck, don't you remember hearing about the evening football practice, when mack brown went out upon the field with his pant's sagging in front of the player's,​

and everyone went crazy... now surely, you do.​

"What we have is what is good about college football, traditions that matter."​

you don't think that i honor and respect the overall mystique, tradition, and culture of texas?  you would have to be wholeheartedly kidding me...​

i for one, simply do not recall seeing you standing there, in afghanistan.. surrounded by throngs of burnt orange clad afghans, listening to one of my myriad of LHB cd's shipped in from austin, tx,​

trying in earnest to teach them TEXAS FIGHT.. along with showing many of them, the proper way of putting up your horns.  not to mention, many of the 65' inch tv's that i had shipped into our base​

camps, so that they could actually watch a TEXAS game in action.  and you should see the look's upon their faces.. while watching a TEXAS game.. you shall never forget it..​

you see dennis, the thing that get's me with some of your arbitrary rhetoric, is that i know that you love TEXAS.  it is ingrained within your very soul.. just as mine.​

however, the very thing that separates us two.. is that i am smart vs astute enough, to step away from the past glory of TEXAS.. and realize that i am now upon the present.​

now, why don't you step away from your perch, and ask a few of those recruits that have been glorifying the media.. just what do they think about darrell royal?  i can bet you most anything,​

that many, if not most of them.. may not even know who darrell royal is... just try it!​

sorry my pal dennis (i love you guy) but i want the very best for the school that i love!  i want the best recruits, the best facilities, the best coaches, the best everything.  just like everyone else across this nation.​

you don't believe me.. then click upon the link below.  i have been voting throughout this past week for TEXAS to win this uniform event.  and yes.. we lost out to the new trends that are coming forth big time.​

now where was your vote....​

You MUST find a way to organize your posts.  This way simply won't work - it's impossible to read and I gave up after the first sentence.  I feel like you had something important to say - but who knows?

uuuuuuuuhhhmmm.. don't worry too much about it doc.  i am most certain that the overall message.. shall indeed surface to some degree.

The helmet is hideous.

 

[flash63]

The simplicity of our white helmets and the best logo in college football screams, "Less is More!"

I think that's a NO vote.

 

[doc longhorn]

I would like to see what an all burnt orange look would look like.  I'm talking the pants, belts, shoes, helmets and face guards.  And, even then, I would have to mull it over - a lot.

I am old, crotchety and set in my ways and I don't care what the kids think.  The inmates don't run the asylum.  GET OFF MY LAWN!

Look at Penn State and Bama - without a doubt, the two ugliest uniforms in college football.  They don't have a problem recruiting.

(I forgot - our practice jerseys are the ugliest in college football)

monarch, I mean this in the most constructive way, I really can not read those posts.  I will give you several reasons:  1)  my eyes aren't the greatest for a computer screen when the font is small.  My prescription can be adjusted for reading and driving, but it doesn't adapt well to computers.  With a typical font, no problem, and I can enlarge, but smaller than 10, I have issues.,  2)  centering your writing like a poem makes the problem more difficult to deal with, and 3) if I took the 15-20 minutes to try to focus and distinguish the words, in all likelihood, I would have a headache.  

Therefore, I try to read it, if it is too difficult, I pass.  It is the font size, and the format.  I know you put a great deal of effort into it, but my contact lenses won't allow for it.

Not only the best logo, but the most recognizable in college football!

Do not like this helmet at all and I immediately thought "Navy helmets" when I saw it... I like the tradition and love our units. I wouldn't mind small changes but keep the tradition alive, IMO.

There is a team that wears uniforms that should cause the school to be fined - they are so ugly.  And that is Maryland.  If they were undefeated and playing the Horns for the National championship, I would not watch because of the gawdawful uniforms they wear.
