Dear Texas Football Team

[UTGrad87]

I'll break this down into the different team groups . . .

OFFENSE:

You guys stink! And I mean like a bigfoots's ass, stink . . . I mean like a homeless person who's pissed themselves for 20 years, stink! You receivers . . . you guys couldn't catch a cold sitting on a block of ice in the artic . . . nekid. What? You're surprised that you get hit after catching a ball . . . then dropping it like a scared little girl cause it's a surprise? Simply pathetic.

Hey offensive line . . . your play is offensive to me. You guys couldn't block my 80 year mother who has an artificial hip and uses a Hurricane to walk around. Not one hair on those testicles you guys! NOT ONE! Perhaps you guys should consider Poetry as a major?? Just a thought.

Sam, you're a gamer but you're an idiot. Have you ever heard of throwing the ball away when a play breaks down? You might wannna Google that. You lost today's game, YOU!!! Boo would have WON that one!

Overall, the offense gets on F- and you idiots are responsible for 3 of our 4 losses! Tim Beck, take a bow then leave the country because you stink . . . like a bigfoot's ass. I hear bus tickets are cheap. Perhaps Canada is where you need to live?? Take off hoser, no you take off.


DEFENSE

Thank you for being outstanding. It was a pleasure watching you guys play today. Malik, you've become everything that was promised. Gary, amazing how fast you've picked up D1 football. You're going Pro baby! Holton, man you're becoming a seriously good player and Chris isn't far behind. Great job today guys!! And Hager, woo wee super fun watching you wreak havoc today!

The defense gets and A +. Simply outstanding.


SPECIAL TEAMS.

Mr. Dickson . . . Best player on the field today. I don't really need to say more than that. I think God touched you as a child and gave you that rocket leg. Wow, just wow!

A++++


COACHES

I'm starting to really question the competence of these guys on the offensive side of the ball. That offensive game plan today was a total abortion. I mean blood, fetus and after birth on the floor, abortion. Please see comments about bus tickets above.

F-

That's it. That's my rant. I'm going to the bar now and drink heavily. Did I mention that the UT Offense stinks like a bigfoot's ass? I mean like a hooker that's had a moldy tampon in her vag for 20 years, stink? You guys couldn't score with an $10 hooker!

 

[HighStickHarry]

You need Jesus in your life.

 

[OhioHorn25]

Why would you want Orlando to move to Canada? I'm assuming you meant Tim Beck.

 

[clob94]

Look man......... we just don't know how to step on a teams neck when we have them down.

We used to have a QB that way. Talented kid. Played pro for a few years. Arguably the strongest arm to ever play at Texas....... but he wasn't an assassin.


An assassin is cold blooded. He walks up behind you, slides the knife between your ribs and then turns you so he can watch the life slowly drain from your eyes........... then he gets an erection.


We aren't that dude yet.

 

[LonghornMM]

What puzzles me is the offense looks nothing like the UH offense when Herman was there. Might have something to do with no Greg Ward type of QB and absolutely NO running game.

 

[LongfellowDrew]

You guys stink!

Ha! You could say the same about some UT fans. Just saying!

You ok Clob?

 

[ryan_sublett]

I’m not sure it’s fair to say we have no running game. The coaches won’t give them the ball. Warren ripped off a 10 yard run later in the game 3 stright passes and a punt after that. If you want to establish the run you actually have to try to run the football.

There are some talent gaps on this team on the OL but it looks to me to be more of a coaching issue than anything. A lot of these guys were on an offense last year that put up 30 a gsme with a freshman QB who was playing hurt.

 

[ryan_sublett]

It’s not Herman’s offense at Houston. It’s Becks offense at OSU. Just poorly executed, and called.

 

[LonghornMM]

It’s not Herman’s offense at Houston. It’s Becks offense at OSU. Just poorly executed, and called.

Its going to take a few recruiting classes to get the kind of players that Herman wants. We need a dynamic, dual threat QB. I like Ehlinger, but he's not the guy that's going to win championships. He's good, but not great. Texas needs to recruit a great QB.

 

[gordo107]

It will take a few recruiting classes for UT to be where they want and should be, but as for today. Orlando is getting everything the players have to give and doing well with it. I think he has exceeded expectations. As for the O, I'm not willing to throw the towel in on Beck yet, truth be told they don't have the talent needed on that side of the ball. Injuries aside, the only lineman who had played well was Williams. The rest even when healthy were not exactly setting the world on fire. As for the wide outs, it doesn't matter how athletic you are, if you cant get open to catch the ball your useless. Ellinger is excelling at QB for one reason I think, they are playing sandlot ball. He is running for his life and doing it well. But I can't believe this is what the O is designed to do. No blocking, nobody open. Whats left? Ellinger left,Ellinger right. The O just needs to be remade from top to bottom. If a Greg Ward kind of QB is what he wants, then Heard is the closest thing we have and should be starting.

That maybe but Herman said in his press conference a couple weeks ago that Major called plays at Houston and Beck calls plays here that he can’t call plays from the sideline as head coach.

Taking him at his word on that “Herman’s offense” doesn’t exist here at Texas we hired Herman the HC and that’s what we’re going to get. I’m not banging on Herman if he doesn’t want to call plays that’s fine but if he’s not going to call plays he needs a great OC and he can’t take credit or be given credit for the offense.

Yeah, fixed that.

 

[Mister Moses]

I guess there’s a reason for all the sideline passes. Those were great catches and all. Sam was cutting it close on any green left. Does it take for time to throw to the middle of the field?

 

[outhereincali]

Man I'm getting frustrated by all these close losses. I remember that until the 2013 season Texas only had one ot game. And now this year and we've had three. Has anyone had three ot games in one season?

 

[ryan_sublett]

Man I'm getting frustrated by all these close losses. I remember that until the 2013 season Texas only had one ot game. And now this year and we've had three. Has anyone had three ot games in one season?

This season has pretty much been a repeate of the last few years. Close in big games but not quite good enough. Under Stromg they played OU tough. Was it two years ago they beat OSU If not for a botched punt? This season is basically a continuation of that it seems. The good news is with the exception of the Maryland game we have won the games we are supposed to win so far. If that continues we should at least get a bowl

 

[clob94]

You ok Clob?

I'm fine. I just know a killer when I see one. We are devoid of that mentality en mass.

It’s quite simple, our o line is decimated with injuries and our Rbs are lousy or not ready including warren. So we have NO running game. In fact all we have is what ehlinger can run for. Ma Be against a weak opponent like Kansas or tech we might be able to move the ball, but TCU or wvu not happening

Played OU tough lol. 1-2. That’s all that matters.

That maybe but Herman said in his press conference a couple weeks ago that Major called plays at Houston and Beck calls plays here that he can’t call plays from the sideline as head coach.

Taking him at his word on that “Herman’s offense” doesn’t exist here at Texas we hired Herman the HC and that’s what we’re going to get. I’m not banging on Herman if he doesn’t want to call plays that’s fine but if he’s not going to call plays he needs a great OC and he can’t take credit or be given credit for the offense.

Don’t look for herman to fire beck either. This isn’t the Charlie strong era where he would cherry pick lousy coaches and then fire them each year having to start over. If herman does that he will be labeled Charlie 2.0 he knows that.
Also with our line in shambles, and true freshmen QB and no running game, hard to evaluate. As of right now.

 

[ryan_sublett]

Clob is right. In the USC game the defense was lights out in the first half but then allowed that big TD right before the half to let USC back in it. Then thry let them go down the field for the tying score in 40 seconds.

Yesterday offense had a chance to put it away receivers dropping balls bad throws,etc. Anothef issue I have is the way Herman/ Beck uses and or treats players. Examples.

Lil jordon was a big time play maker in the k stste game and OU game. Was he even on the field yesterday?

John Burt was the only WR who stepped up,and made a play. Was he even targeted after his 90 yard TD run?

There were a couple times Warren ripped off 10 yard runs and didn’t touch the ball again on either drive.

I don’t know if Herman thinks he’s sending a message by yanking these guys around or whst but it’s quite puzzling.

 

[ryan_sublett]

Played OU tough lol. 1-2. That’s all that matters.

That’s kind of my point. Is for the last 4 years now we’ve played well in the “big games” but for the most part have come up short. This season is basically a repeate of the previous 3 in that regard.

 

[FlourBluffHorn]

At least Strong is undefeated on the bright side, Herman is not doing to well looks like in the aftergame presser, no kind of excuses can bail him out, maybe Texas got sold another bill of goods again

Hook'em

 

[ryan_sublett]

Hook'em

I’d say saying they got “sold a bill of goods” might be a bit of an over statement. Herman has done some good things. However. I do think some of the boosters and decssion makers that had been dreaming of Herman for close to two seasons let the fact that Herman was doing well in State distrsct from potential red flags.

As Clob has pointed out before and a few others have as well. Herman and Strong had very similar resumes prior to Texas. If you thought Strong wasn’t qualified when he was hired you couldn’t really support hiring Herman if you were being fair and objective. I think the fact that Herman was a GA under Mack and the fact that he was winning at an in state school caused a lot of people to over look the rather thin resume and similarities to Charlie Strong.

Another potential red flag. For boosters and decssion makers that thought you were getting a national championship OC who ran a great offense at Houston and was gonna come here and bring offense back to Texas. I hope during the interview process(to the extent there was one) someone asked Herman if he intended to call plays. Because it is ovbious now hearing him talk about it that he didn’t call plays at Houston and isn’t calling plays here. So anyone who was thinking “man if we get Herman we’re gonna have a great offensive mind”. You would of found out that was never Herman’s plan.

There have been a few other things that have been a bit curious and may be issues going forward we will have to wait and see. It’s possible this time next year we are talking about potential replacements for Herman but it’s a little early to think he’s a fraud or we were sold a bill of goods anything like that.

 

[LonghornMM]

And here come the "I told you so" guys about Herman. He's coached a total of seven games so far. I give him a pass on last year's recruiting class due to the short time after he was hired to work with keep who was already committed and adding others. So far, Texas has the #2 or #3 rated recruiting class for next year, depending on which rating source you look at. I want to see Herman get his hand picked guys in here and give him a minimum of three years, just like Strong got, before I pass judgement on him. I think he'll be fine in the long run.

Not sure if you are referring to me, but I’m not really an I told you so guy I wasn’t 100% sold on Herman from the get go. Probably would of been even less so had I known he wasn’t going to bevtge primary play caller. As I didn’t really like the Beck hire, but figured Herman would have a heavy hand in the offense(don’t think I was the only one to share that opinion)

Year 1 I agree is a pass, but it’s not like he doesn’t have talent to work with. One thing Strong did accomplish is he did upgrade the talent level at UT. Many of those guys on the offensive end especially have taken a step back from last year. For a lot of reasons. As long as Herman gets to a bowl game this year I think year one will be considered a success.

I don’t think it’s a lock though he gets 3 years(it wasn’t for Stromg either). I think he HAS to make a change at OC, I think the Maryland game next year is a must win and I think he’ll need a signature win 2 of those 3 at least have to happen.

 

[LonghornMM]

Ryan, I don't see Herman changing his OC after this year. That is the kind of turnover Strong had and he doesn't want to repeat that kind of trend. Yes, Strong recruited well, but that was job. With the verbal commitments Texas has, Herman is actually recruiting better than Strong did. I think the main problem with Texas this year is the OL is decimated by injuries and is razor thin, which is affecting the ability to run the ball. I would like to see Herman get more involved in the offense and give Beck specific direction on play calling. The biggest areas of need for Texas are OL, RB, QB (long term) and DL. For the most part, Texas is playing with one hand tied behind their back with the OL situation. One season is not enough time to judge whether Herman will get the job done.

 

[oldhorn2]

I'll break this down into the different team groups . . .

OFFENSE:

You guys stink! And I mean like a bigfoots's ass, stink . . . I mean like a homeless person who's pissed themselves for 20 years, stink! You receivers . . . you guys couldn't catch a cold sitting on a block of ice in the artic . . . nekid. What? You're surprised that you get hit after catching a ball . . . then dropping it like a scared little girl cause it's a surprise? Simply pathetic.

Hey offensive line . . . your play is offensive to me. You guys couldn't block my 80 year mother who has an artificial hip and uses a Hurricane to walk around. Not one hair on those testicles you guys! NOT ONE! Perhaps you guys should consider Poetry as a major?? Just a thought.

Sam, you're a gamer but you're an idiot. Have you ever heard of throwing the ball away when a play breaks down? You might wannna Google that. You lost today's game, YOU!!! Boo would have WON that one!

Overall, the offense gets on F- and you idiots are responsible for 3 of our 4 losses! Tim Beck, take a bow then leave the country because you stink . . . like a bigfoot's ass. I hear bus tickets are cheap. Perhaps Canada is where you need to live?? Take off hoser, no you take off.

Thank you for being outstanding. It was a pleasure watching you guys play today. Malik, you've become everything that was promised. Gary, amazing how fast you've picked up D1 football. You're going Pro baby! Holton, man you're becoming a seriously good player and Chris isn't far behind. Great job today guys!! And Hager, woo wee super fun watching you wreak havoc today!

The defense gets and A +. Simply outstanding.

COACHES

I'm starting to really question the competence of these guys on the offensive side of the ball. That offensive game plan today was a total abortion. I mean blood, fetus and after birth on the floor, abortion. Please see comments about bus tickets above.

This is only my personal opinion about the above post:

feel free to post less. The last thing I want to read after a disappointing loss is someones rant in great detail. Not a particularly well thought out rant either. It is ok....you will be fine.
One should try and think twice before drinking and posting.

 

[RoboCocks21]

I don't understand people going crazy we have more then one sport we aren't like ou and gymnastics

 

[ryan_sublett]

For the most part, Texas is playing with one hand tied behind their back with the OL situation. One season is not enough time to judge whether Herman will get the job done.

Very much disagree on a couple counts. Strong’s issue was he DIDNT make changes. Everyone knew Watson was a bad hire. Many of us said so at the time. Pretty much everyone said so. Strong wasn’t hired until January 5th. With that late of a hire I think most coaches would of made changes on their staff from year 1 to year 2. Strong did that with bringing in Norvell and Taylor. He elected to keep his friend Watson though who by all accounts wasn’t the answer. It wasn’t until he was damn near fired that he decided to remove watson from the OC role.

So Herman firing beck would not make him Stromg 2.0. It would be avoiding what was probably Strong’s fatal mistake and that was rolling with Watson in to year 2.

Next thing I’ll disagree with you on. Yes I get that the OL and depth of the OL is an issue, and it explains SOME of the offensive problems. However there are also things Beck is doimg an awful job of

We don’t have a running game in part because of the OL and in part because Beck doesn’t even try to run the ball. Texas ran the ball with a RB 13 times yesterday. Warren had a 15 yard run in the 4th qrt. Didn’t touch the ball on that drive again. Carter who has shown some explosive ability he carried it once. You can’t just run the ball 6 times and go “welp not working”. If you want your OL to get better in the run game if you want to give your young QB a chance you gotta keep trying to run.

We sure as hell never abandoned those damn bubble screens that pick up a yard at a time. Why arent we stretching the field on first and 2nd down instead of making things tougher on your OL and only passing when it’s 3rd and 15.

It would also appear that under Tim Beck and Tom Herman that the quickest way to find the bench... make plays. Seriously. As I pointed out Warren rips off a 15 yard run yesterday. 3 stright incompletions later we’re off the field. Warren never got it again on that drive

Lil Jordon he made plays against OU and K State. Probably one of the best athletes on the team. He was targeted once for 9 yards.

Burt took a play 90 yards. Only WR to step up yesterday. Got the ball one other time.

So yes the OL is a problem no question but Beck isn’t helping anyone out and an improved OL isn’t going to change his play calling ability. Let’s also not forget that Urban Meyer let him make the lattreal move to Texas. If Meyer thought he was that great he probably stays. Especially since he and Herman have been kind of snipping back and forth.

Herman will need to make changes to the offense. Weather that’s firing beck or taking a more active role in play calling... if he doesn’t we are probably talking about weather Herman gets year 3 this time next year.

 

[LonghornMM]

Ryan, your dislike of Herman is more than obvious. Your guy Strong is thankfully gone and he's not coming back. He was one of the worst, if not THE worst football coach in UT history. Herman is a much better coach than Strong is and it will show in time. If you can't see the difference between the two coaches, I don't know what to tell you. You keep repeating the same stuff over and over and over.

Going back to the “you love strong stuff huh? I actually don’t dislike Herman and I very much hope he’s better than Strong was. But if he doesn’t figure out the offense between now and October next year. He’s gonna find himself in the same boat Strong was in and that’s one out of town. By the way most of my post was about Beck not Herman.

You may think I love Charlie Strong and hate Tom Herman you may not like me as a person but I haven’t said anything inaccurate.
