I think he mentioned Charlie because he's one of the highest paid coaches in CFB like Saban's and Meyer and Stoops but so far nowhere in their league. I think that's what he meant at least. Now, I'm not saying Charlie can't be a great coach, but I don't think he's tgere yet.
As far as your Baylor comment goes: Briles had already established that he can win in this league, he had a good team. It's not the same predicament Texas is in now. Baylor was not on a couple year down turn and using injuries, youth as valid excuses. Look what Baylor did in their bowl game. Do you think OU or TEXAS could win a bowl against a formidable opponent with a qb who is not even a qb? I don't, he'll we couldn't win with our 1st or second stringer and Texas couldn't even spell bowl game the last couple years. Having said that Texas beat Baylor fair and square.
Agree, the point I was getting at more was that for Baylor to come out and say they lost because their qb was hurt stands to reason considering they had played strong all year with him compared to say a 6-6 team claiming they lost a game due to injuries. More than likely the 6-6 team lost because they suck not necessarily due to injuries. Does that make sense? And yes OU beat Baylor without Baylor having their starting qb too.
Did we cheat to beat okie? Is it even cheating to cheat a cheater? Inquiring minds...
Texas wont suck as a whole if this is a simple enough explanation for you, but OL is still a question and now there are three starters out with injuries and 1 of the 3 upperclassmen are currently out. Perkins (Sr) is at RG and Hodges (Jr) is getting reps at RT. The three injured players are Shack C (true F) backed up by a former (DT RS Soph with 0 snaps), Vahe (true Soph 12 starts) backed up by a true Freshman and Nickelson RT (Jr) backed up by Hodges (Jr) and a true Freshman Oakfor. Not ideal.
1. No offense, but I don't need a Sooner telling what our coach needs to prove.
Vahe is out? Chip was saying this morning they did not know how severe the injury was.
Yes, injuries are part of the game. What's funny though is we lose 3/5 starters on our O line and you say, eh next guy up, no big deal. ND loses 1 starter at safety and you say "half of their team is out and too bad we couldn't have had this game at full strength".
He's banged up, we'll call him a question mark until we hear otherwise. I don't think he's going to miss much and will be good to go next week. I also heard the back up Center is doing his job. Honestly, I'm fairly certain the OL will be back at full strength (if you want to call it that) next week.
I forgot about that post, that's some funny schadenfreude right there. Poor Bell.
I was being sarcastic about my ND comments and stated as such. Of course you chose to gloss over that part.
I call BS, you're a long time troll on this board. It's nothing new. Own it.
Horn01 I hardly think I'm the only one Strong needs to prove something to. There is a poll out by a major sports news organization list him pretty high on the Top 10 coaches on the hot seat so it's really a lot of folks. I have heard on here how Charlie develops talent but that evidently he can't develop what he was left with by Mack but he can develop his recruits? It's kind of confusing where one excuse ends and the other begins with some of your fellow posters. I'm not lumping you in that group btw. I agree with your comments in your 2nd point and I do hope your teams injuries are minor as I've seen eluded to.
You call bs I said I was being sarcastic? The thread is there, very easy to confirm.
The word you're struggling for this time is "alluded", illiterate okie (redundant). Or is that a phone autocorrect again?
You and your ilk have made a profession of making excuses the last couple of years. Time has run out on that mantra. Come up with new material hoss
Laughable. There has never been a loss in the history of your disgusting program where your whiny fans didn't cry like little girls about the refs. Not one.
So you really are illiterate and your autocorrect claims have been complete BS all along. Got it. We know.Nice to see you throw in the towel so early. I don't blame you
TexExSpur I'm just trying to get a handle on the thoughts of the Longhorn faithful on the team, injuries etc. but I get a lot of fluff and it takes a while to weed out the bs
Yet another lie. You're on here saying we're pre-emptively making excuses and stirring up crap like usual.TexExSpur I'm just trying to get a handle on the thoughts of the Longhorn faithful on the team, injuries etc. but I get a lot of fluff and it takes a while to weed out the bs
