"Perhaps he didn't make drinkable water out of wine, but you can make the case he made bath water out of Mad Dog 20/20."
These may be the most baffling metaphors ever written in the English language. You could have just as easily said "Perhaps he didn't make a McRib out of chateaubriand, but you can make the case that he made....???? something something Thunderbird." Strong work there Ketch.

Nah. I just didn't see it. That would have served as therapy.Ran from the Threat yesterday....
I'm glad someone appreciated it for its intended diasterness."Perhaps he didn't make drinkable water out of wine, but you can make the case he made bath water out of Mad Dog 20/20."

Yes, it meant that Texas didn't mess around and miss out on the only real option that existed. It got shit done.
That's what it meant. The emphasis of this cannot be stressed enough.
if we land the rivals 250 member, Junior Angilau out of Utah, Warehime will be the biggest reason why.
This. I found out about the news on the DFW CBS afflilate during a news break during the Army-Navy game. I had been on Orangebloods maybe an hour before that. It came as a shock to me, since I didn't think anything was imminent, but I never once thought "Damn it. Ketch didn't tell me this an hour sooner."
I played for Honeycutt at Euless Trinity before he was HC at McCallum. Not only one of the best coaches of any sport I ever played, but one of the funniest guys I've been around. RIP.
#44 has gotta be the best tackling LB in the state. When he hits the ball carrier the runner goes down like Joe Frazier hit by a George Foreman uppercut. And #44 wastes no time arriving at the collision.
Herman ought to invite him to be a preferred walkon, at the very least. Who knows, he might be the Baker Mayfield of walkon linebacking...
I really freak out when I hear comments to the effect ...
"Herman was the only option"
"Del Conte was the only guy they were looking at"
When you have a $5M+ pay package for HC and a $1M+ pay package for AD and you're UT you have lots of options.
We should probably be able to steal 75% of the D1 ADs and something similar on the HC front.
So, I don't buy this idea or line of thinking and really hope it is OB thinking only and didn't actually reflect how UT approached either of these hires.
I'm not saying Herman or CDC were bad hires, I'm just saying the hiring process was severely flawed if UT had the kind of tunnel vision your describing for these processes.

Could you be a little more specific about how the AD is going to function?
What are the chances Longhorn fans ever hear the Texas AD publicly acknowledge that Bellmont Hall believes that it "owes Longhorn supporters championships for all their support over the years"?
It means someone who puts the university so far ahead of anything or anyone else(including themselves) that they... bleed orange.
I'm reminded of this play that Tommy Lewis made in the cotton bowl. When it was over, Lewis explained his tackle by saying that he "was just too full of Alabama."
Mine as well. I was a jock in high school but never dug bullying. In fact I have been in a few "altercations" over bullying and dudes pushing on girls. It will never be okay with me. Watching that video makes me want to fly to Tenn. and beat the shit out of those kids. Age and law be damned!
Hopefully there are no rumblings about any of RHM, LJH or Collin Johnson being unhappy. Outside of them we are probably due for some turnover considering the numbers at the position and the quality of recruits in the 2018 and 2019 classes at WR.
Today with his wife looked like the farthest thing from divorce I would have imagined. Don't think your source was too accurate.
The word, being, is a linking verb. It's perfectly fine to use an adjective, such as "good", after a linking verb. Well makes you think of his health, not how he played.
No sweat. I was being a playful jerk, so there's that. Cheers.
