If there are actual fans who think Coach Strong is "too hard" then they are probably the same fans who didn't mind Mack and how he ran the program.
Too hard? Wow. Can't believe there are actual people who call themselves Longhorns who think after the last several years of pillow talk and slumber parties that Mack loved, you actually want Strong to stop being "too hard."

Unbelievable. Where's the damn whiskey...

I think his football and his classroom policies were much needed. I don't think the living on campus thing is going to work out well for the program.

I hope he rethinks that one.

I understand that the enforcement staff is dwindled but I think the NCAA doesn't even know where to start with the violations in the SEC. Not to mention they would be killing their biggest money maker. However, IMO it comes down to the fact that the NCAA is a spineless organization that needs to be revamped or destroyed.

We have a conceptual problem at Texas. We want to treat the NCAA rules as definite and clear, and carrying the moral equivalency of laws. The problem is that the NCAA's "speed limits" aren't laws, aren't definite like speed limits, aren't being followed by large numbers of drivers, and aren't enforceable. In effect, the rules are a facade.

So what do you do about it? Take off the handcuffs, Texas. I've thought for a long time, that Texas should put its vast alumni wealth into play here. If the SEC, OU, USC, tOSU want to play this way, let's show 'em what happens when they have to compete with the deepest pockets of all. Sometimes people have to get curb stomped before they realize peaceful compliance is a better option.

When you say there are still some surprises for NSD, both good and bad, are you referring to specific rumors like the possible defection of Bonney or just that you think we should expect anything? Any specific info, good and bad?

I was referring to kids that have stated that they are going to announce on signing day.

Their choices might become more clear in the next week but, how it stands right now, there is bound to be a few surprises.

Take Poona Ford for interest. We have heard that Ford is a silent commit to Texas. I would very surprised if Ford does not sign with Texas.

Strong is a big meanie!
