We're getting close enough. Let's start this thread out with this:

The dude abides.
I am interested to see ifcan keep improving. I don't expect them to win the ACC this year but they should be in the running to win their division again.

How about this dumbass? Didn't even wait to get to college before fucking up and getting a warrant for burglary. Don't think Georgia's gonna have any interest in signing him anymore.

Four more players kicked off the Longhorns, for a total of six so far. I will say this for Charlie Strong, he is not putting up with any crap.

Good for him. Weed out the knuckleheads so the program can grow.Originally Posted by bdoughty
A LOT of programs need to do the same.
Wait...TAMU at #4? The school whose non-conf slate consists of Lamar, Rice, SMU and ULM? That TAMU?

YES! It is time for these big programmes to set standards of conduct and actually live up to them.
But they are doing so without Johnny Football. The only thing I can see is they play Auburn and Bama on the road. Still not enough to make it a top 5 or even a top 10 toughest schedule.
I do feel college football shoots itself in the foot with the creampuff schedules. Every top team has 4 wins their backups could get for them. Its not good for TV and the general fan.
It does not make for good TV but rarely are the creampuff games shown as primetime games. There are always a couple good matchups each week before conference hits. One really tough non-conference game is all you need. You have a brutal schedule and lose two games early, it's the road to a pre January bowl for a good team. OU is pretty smart about this. Just like this year. Two games you should win pretty easily (La Tech & Tulsa) but give you enough of a challenge that the games will show you how well you are doing at each position. Then you throw in a Tennessee, who unfortunately is down right now but you can't really know that when you are scheduling games years in advance. I also like how the Big 12 is only having three non-conference games and you play everyone in the conference. I think three non-conference games are more than enough.
What I really dislike is playing four non-conference opponents and having the fourth played at the end of the year, so it is like an extra bye week. Looking at you SEC. Notice both Bama and Auburn have cupcakes scheduled before their matchup.

I really like what Strong is doing. Too much of a country club vibe around here under Mack. He's basically taken the entitlement attitude out of the team and is making them earn everything. We'll see how it translates onto the field.

Last years back-up graduated? He kept the ship afloat pretty well.
They'll be fine. It's not like you need to throw the ball to run Urban's offense, throw any dude back there that can run and hit a 10 yard pass.
Yeah, the sweet jazz of Kenny G is playing in the Arena league now.
Who says we have anyone that can hit a 10 yard pass?
In all seriousness, the one upside is that since he was hurt all spring, our backups have been getting first team reps since the bowl loss. So we've been preparing ... just not quite as soon as we wanted it to come.

Good luck and best wishes to him going forward. Tough break for him and OSU.
