    Are You #TeamBuechele Or #TeamEhlinger?

    It became pretty clear to me about midway through the ISU game that Ehlinger is the correct choice at QB. He seems more able to escape pressure - which is a must given the porous offensive line. I was mildly surprised we didn't see him come in at any point in the game Thursday even given how...

    5 Thoughts Following Texas/USC

    We've had several "moral" victories over the last years, so I'd like to see the team continue to grow and string multiple performances together, but it was encouraging to see the defense continue to rise up and make big plays even when the offense was non-existent for most of the game. I was...

    Week 2 Prediction Thread: Horns vs Spartans

    An "inspired" looking win against a lesser opponent which will serve to get everyone's hopes up way too high before we come crashing back to earth following the USC game. Seems to be our MO the last handful of years...

    My Thoughts Following The Maryland Debacle

    I saw buzz that there was a "Player's Only" meeting in the Longhorn locker room yesterday. I think that makes it at least 3 consecutive years. I'd prefer they stop talking and start actually playing! Those of you that went back and watched the game are much braver than I. No way I could've done...

    Tom Herman Era Off to a Rough Start: Maryland 51 - Texas 41

    I guess it's possible the week of practice for Texas, Baylor, and A&M lacked a bit of focus. Presumably quite a few of the players were affected in some manner by the floods in and around Houston.  As an individual temporarily displaced myself, I found it hard to focus on much of anything...

    Tom Herman Era Off to a Rough Start: Maryland 51 - Texas 41

    It's not clear to me why people keep saying "we have more talent than" team X. This is essentially the same team that lost to Kansas. We're just not very good and it's going to take a while for Herman to get his guys in there. This game doesn't burst the Tom Herman bubble for me as much as it...

    the Herman presser is today at 5pm (LHN)

    It's certainly a bold move to tweet your phone number out to everyone like that. I'll bookmark this thread in case I ever see something on the field that I need to discuss directly with the HFC.

    ***Official Update Thread***

    KHOU Houston just reported that UH settled on Kiffin as head coach. I suspect we'll see movement on our OC/DC situation shortly.

    ***Official Update Thread***

    Look, I'm not a Charlie Strong guy by any means. I was saying I'd seen enough last year even. It was time for him to go. But you can't compare the situations and rush to report at OSU/Bama to the situation at Texas. Any of their sites reporting "sources say Saban to be fired at year end" would...

    D'Onta Foreman update.

    I do believe there are a couple of very big differences in the situations: 1) The RB position has been significantly devalued by NFL teams compared to what it was when Ricky was playing. 2) The rookie salary scale throttles the earnings potential quite a bit relative to 2000. When combined...

    ***Official Update Thread***

    I'm not sure it's an excuse - more of a statement of fact. I don't think it's a coincidence that UH fell to Memphis the day after "sources" indicated Herman to LSU was basically a done deal. Strong didn't play to his paper and he was rightfully held accountable. But I do think it's fair to...

    Where did they go? Keeping up with the former staff.

      Definitely agree. We're all very hopeful that it's just a coaching issue but I started getting concerned about player character being a big issue after the Kansas game and then they followed it up by rolling over for TCU. Makes me think the task ahead of Herman may be a little more difficult...

    The End is Nigh

    I couldn't agree more and I'll take it a step further. I hope they bring him back now. I don't think he's the guy, I've been saying it for a long time. But I think the administration's spectacular mishandling of this situation highlights a much bigger issue within the program than whether our...

    The End is Nigh

    I saw these pop across my twitter feed and wasn't sure what Diggs was trying to imply: the players didn't execute it's not Strong's fault and he needs to be retained OR the players didn't execute and he needs to be held accountable for that. I don't see the logic of the former - he's in charge...
