So is Herman starting to prod Stoops yet?

[Goldbug]

Not really. We've come into that game flat way too often since Mack left.

So true. Texas can't believe their luck when we keep coming out flat. Houston kicked us last year when it happened. Every year there's at least one game where the coaching staff just doesn't have them ready to play. Hopefully Bob's pee is hot now that UT is showing signs of a pulse again. The clock is beginning to run out on Stoops' career and it's time to win a huge game on the road at Ohio State and then lay one on Texas while UT is still rebuilding. Recruiting, polls, fans' attitude, a lot of things are riding on a good start this year.

OU has two maybe three years at the most before King Herman begins his 'reign of terror'.

New College Football Coaches Killing It on the Recruiting Trail

3. Tom Herman, Texas

1. 
   Noteworthy Commitments: Caden Sterns (4-star S), Justin Watkins (4-star RB), Casey Thompson (4-star QB), Cameron Rising (4-star QB), Ron Tatum III (4-star DE), Byron Hobbs (4-star OLB)
   
   Even more impressive than the level of talent that Tom Herman has been signing at Texas is who and where he's taking it from.
   
   Justin Watkins is playing high school ball in Clermont, Florida, and had originally committed to Florida State and Jimbo Fisher. But in late February, the running back/athlete flipped to Texas, temporarily becoming the top recruit in Herman's class.
   
   Two months later, Herman made an early splash in the Red River Rivalry by getting a 4-star QB from Newbury Park, California, to flip from Oklahoma to the Longhorns. Despite the fact that Texas had just signed another 4-star QB (Casey Thompson) a few days prior to the move, Cameron Rising decided to commit to Texas and shut down his recruitment.
   
   The third and biggest flip came in early May when Scout's No. 52 overall player, Caden Sterns, opted to back out of his commitment to LSU for the chance to play close to home at Texas.
   
   To recap, Herman is pilfering players away from rivals and national powerhouses, and he's signing players from all over the country. Time will tell whether he can bring his success at Houston over to Austin, but it's safe to say he is enjoying and capitalizing on his new recruiting pull.

Jesus fucking Christ.
Herman beats Oklahoma last year and then proceeds to lose to:
Navy
SMU
Memphis
San Diego State.

Get your head wrapped around that shit.
He's more likely to be Chucky 2.0 than anything else.

San Diego St. has been pretty decent the past couple of years.

Herman didn't even COACH the San Diego State game.......he was already at Texas. What is it with you guys continuing to bring up this lie?

Yah guise, it wasn't like his players, coaches or scheme or anything!

That makes it ok then.

Yeah, what part of him not coaching that game do you not understand?

Do you really think your players are going to play well if Stoops left before your bowl game and took half the coaching staff with him?

Or did you really not consider this?

I get it. Sometimes you just don't want to be there.

so to recap, Herman's players & scheme curbstomped Bob Stoops players, coaches & schemes.

Ah, that's only because Dede was hurt and not 100%!

Thanks for giving us an excuse!

*check the box score and adjust your definition of "curbstomp"

 

[Deep Creek]

That's what the conference needs.

100% true. Heard a discussion on XM yesterday. To boil it down, Texas' performance the past few years is the main reason the Big 12 has sucked...or at least appeared to suck...or both. Doesn't make any difference how any of the other members do except OU. All can be performing good or bad, but unless both Texas AND OU are both performing top notch, it doesn't matter.

Funny....innit?

It makes one wonder why aren't other one-pony conferences labeled similarly?

Not that I give a fuck. It's curious, nonetheless. As long as this conference doesn't see anything but our ass I'm good with it.

Fuck 'em all.

All should be as you state it...instead of conference

Yes
Then proceeded to lose to Navy, SMU, and Memphis.

But he's a great coach.

Other conferences suffer the same fate, when FSU & Clemson were down the ACC was perceived as crap, and their tv deal shows it.

A few years ago we were all bagging on the Big ten, now that Michigan is good again its perceived as the best conference.

Pac 12 same song with USC.
