"The problem is that if you have actually taken the time to watch the team play all season, you'll know that it's incredibly disingenuous to suggest that injuries have been a bigger problem than the litany of other issues that exist, from terrible game-management to poor preparation to one confounding dumb action/decision after another."
I post like 3 times a year these days and this point is what I've chosen to hammer the last few weeks. The injury excuse is an absolute farce and an attempt at window dressing below par football. Unless it's your unquestioned starting QB gets injured for a stretch, there's no reason Texas shouldn't be able to plug and play capable football players to keep this train on the tracks. It particularly gets the blood boiling because Tom and co. (and some posters on the board) take the rest of us for being naive idiots when it comes to assessing the true nature of this football team.
It's a bad product all the way around. We've got two games left and yet to establish any kind of positive identity, one of the most penalized teams in the nation, worst defenses in the country, an offense that runs like an old beater in the cold, losing the same way over and over to lesser teams despite a "1-0" mentality bs, players regressing at key positions, and dumb comments in the media. 50-48 to Kansas allows you to go "1-0" for the week, but for all intents and purposes, that is a loss Tom.
The head football coach at Texas coming off of the success built by their predecessors, the money, the facilities, and the recruiting base available, should never have this kind of "floor". If you show the kind of floor that has been shown, you're not the guy for the job here. I support these players and this school, but the quote above is exactly why Tom lost me weeks ago.
