#TexasFootball Spring Practice Discussion Thread

Thanks for putting that here NTG.

Makes me think Hermann is not all that happy with what he inherited, or at least the condition they are in.

It does kind of sound like he's not impressed with the talent level.

He might not be happy with the talent level, but I read somewhere that he said it is better than what he had in Houston...so there's that....

But that was before he saw them practice.😬

Yep, and it hurt Ed Oliver's feelings too. Sumbitch should've signed with UT.

I'd imagine there will be a lot less winning, too.

I think he is just playing mind games with them. A couple of them are out of shape, so make the whole unit look like the weak link. It's a risky move, but if the unit doesn't respond in a positive way, they are probably not the guys you want there anyway. I get the feeling that he will have something very positive to say about that unit before too long. Part of the game..

Thinking back to DKR....the Gold Standard for UT coaches......I dont remember him worrying about guys going to class or that sort of thing. I think The Talbert brothers were flat out thugs, but they played and they performed.....and the guys on the team "took care" of anyone that got in trouble and hurt the team.....different times

S Jason Hall out for the rest of spring practices with a hamstring injury. No surgery needed.

This. I have thought this since Herman's pre-spring press conference. His MENSA IQ is directing the players, fans and media down the path he wants.

Corey Meekins has a cool video on Twitter. Suns out guns out with some AC/ DC music. I don't know how to copy and paste it on my phone. Look it up if you have Twitter
