Herman is done - Part 3

Terminator 2 and Aliens are staring at you disapprovingly.

Disagree. Aliens was just a shoot em' up in outer space. Alien was one of the best horror movies ever and a real trend setter; first female to be the heroine and lone survivor, the monster design took it to a whole new level, the funky space ship was a like a haunted house in outer space, and, of course the monster popping out of the guy's chest was/is one of the most startling scenes ever filmed. No contest.

David was/is a friend, a great Longhorn, but that is the worst coaching staff since before I was born. Not one of those guys could get a job at a D1 program after they were fired. They wouldn't recruit (I said "wouldn't"); they could have, but were lazy. Guys more worried about getting their girlfriend's car financed or someone to pay for it than they were recruiting. Don't dare recommend a kid for the program because he may tell alums how lazy they were.

When the State 100 meter champion says, "I don't need to visit, just mail me the letter of commitment", then the OC lies saying he went to get him and RC had taken him away. FWIW, Felman Malveaux started at WR for Michigan as a true freshman.

Love David and his family, but hated his staff.

Great guy caught in the middle of other messy coaching changes (sound familiar?) He might be the personification of “good guys finish last”. The Miami cotton Bowl fiasco told me something. The short stint and bad Lubbock exit was ugly as well. Texas should have hired him before he went to Tech, if they wanted him. You would know more about that than me.
I was glad to see Texas keep him around.

Only thing I can add is, the current situation with the football program from top to bottom is the worst I’ve ever seen. That’s my 2cents worth.

Bevo, you are just too young. I witnessed 1-9 in 1956. The next year a little known young coach by the name of Royal came in and went 6-4-1. Two things. It can get worse. And it can get better. Unload your guns.
And have a Merry New Year. There is some really good single malt out there. I suggest those from the Speyside region.
 
The Dirty Harry sequels were a big drop off from the original, but Magnum Force was still pretty good.
Beverly Hills Cop II wasn't bad.
 
McWilliams was coach during my college years at UT and yes he seemed like the nicest guy who was just way in over his head. From what I understand though losing the Texas job may well have saved his life and he has been an incredible asset for Texas in the 29 or so years since in various roles.

The current state of Longhorn football reminds me of Cousin Eddie emptying the contents of what he refers to as, “That there is an RV”, into the sewer out front of the Griswold home.

We are pretty sure the cousin Eddie character was created around my wife’s uncle. Vehicle and all.

We will always be looking for this little known, next DKR. For whatever reason, Matt Campbell strikes me as that type of coach. We will know soon, when he (soon, somewhere) has a shot at the big time.

More off topic III:

Don't look now but Shaka's got a good team that just beat UNC 69-67 to win the Maui Classic.

That's all I got.

I’m so done with Texas sports right now, I had no idea that game happened. I have a great employee and friend who is a Tarheel. I just kidded him that in 2020, we are a basketball school and UNC is a football school.

He then said “Roy is 1-8 versus Texas.” :hookem:

So Roy goes 1-8 vs Texas but then there's some Natties in there somewhere. Oh well, OU sucks!

I know, I know...just the mere cinematography and story lines in II. Trust me, I am an original aficionado.

David was/is a Lifetime Longhorn. He is loved by all. When he passes, grown men will cry. But stepping into the cesspool/dumpstefire/most disgusting and shameful days of what had just happened in the world of the Big Money Boys, an administration that had no involvement in the Department and DeLoss not yet having the power he would yield a decade later and beyond, David was perhaps the most uniquely unqualified quy to have possibly stepped into that cluster ****. Just as Mack was the most uniquely qualified quy to unite the warring factions, stockpile talent and create a frenzy at the box office.
