Taking a Moment to Appreciate Texas Longhorns Football
- Thread starter Uncle Ken
- Start date
I said something nice about their team to a texas fan as they put the game away. They responded by dissing CU. Trash fans
Except for maybe USC, I can't think of a program that does so little with so much advantage.
USC has done so much more than Texas. Texas is Oklahoma's BITCH.

I think Herman's going to do TV next year (I think he's got a good personality for it) or go back to Ohio State.
That being said, I just want to take a moment to appreciate Texas hiring an alcoholic as their football coach. You guys think Auburn and Tennessee are dysfunctional? Give this about a year.
Wasn’t Sark our pipe dream?
*Most if not all of those buyouts are being paid by boosters and not the schools
The coaches have contracts with schools, not boosters. If the school’s AD has to fund raise to help them honor their commitments while universities struggle to fund academic programs, that doesn’t change the truth of the tweet.
Those boosters aren’t donating to the academic programs regardless of whether the coaches stay or not, and the ADs aren’t stealing from academic program funds to pay for athletic buy outs.
The boosters don’t have contracts with coaches. Maybe another year.
I don’t really get your point or why you’re arguing about this.
I’m not arguing. I posted a factual tweet. You and carolina decided to chime in.
Saved for the “New T-Shirt Slogan” thread.
Your response to Carolina felt very Jack Kroll-y
Kroll-ish
Yea I think we have a winner
I’m just hoping to someday figure out how we can get past faux amateurism....
I was thinking “Trumpy” as the model but you’re ish is probably better.
Don’t be Krollish!
That ship sailed a long time ago
For the coaches. It hasn’t trickled down to the players yet.

this — that $100M could go to a lot better initiatives than paying the already fat in the pants coaches who underperformed...starting with the players and their families/communities
Like curing cancer?
This is why this discussion is Krollish, those donors aren't going to say "keep the coach and lose some more, I'd rather my donation go to an obscure research project."
They donate because they want their team to win games.
Giving money to players isn’t krollish.

the money that goes to college coaches and the lack of financial support towards athletes (a large majority of who don’t get the most out of a moderately valuable college education because athletics requires so much energy and time) is ****ing absurd
it’s exploitation in the purest definition of the term, especially given the background of most D-1 college football players
I’ll bow out now, I know that most folks here are already solidly in one of two camps when it comes to “amateurism” in college sports and who the monetary benefits go to — and it’s not my place to tell wealthy sports fans how to spend their money, just still holding out hope in systematic change
You think Sark is the only alcoholic coaching D1 football? You’re being quite dickish about a guy who seems to have dealt with his problems and appears to have control of his demons. I think we should be celebrating those type of success stories. Good luck to him.

Texas is the biggest pressure cooker in the industry. I've got friends who are UT alums and follow the program closely-they don't like this move at all. They don't think he'll hold up there.
If Steve Sarkisian wins there, its an AWESOME story. I'll believe it when I see it. One more thing-This is also a sarcastic thread, dude.
