to improve their home schedule
Honestly the only game of national interest they have on the schedule is OU and that is mostly interest in OU and has been this way for about 9-10 years. Most fans outside the B12 could care less about all but 1 or 2 other games. The interest "footprint" is regional and really not that great anymore outside of it. This is not a blip.... this is the direct result of 8+ years of mediocrity.
There is a certain amount of irony that they launched the LHN at the height of their popularity and hubris only to see the wheels come off the wagon almost immediately. For a few years no one in the Athletic department could say more than 2 or 3 sentences without "the brand" being mentioned. Well... here you go. How is that brand doing now? Everyone is generally in agreement that A&M moving from the B12 to the SEC helped us on many many fronts. What is rarely ever mentioned is the damage caused to texass and their "brand" is much bigger and much deeper than even they want to admit or even understand. 7 years ago it was texass that almost tore the B12 apart and tried to orchestrate a move for OU, A&M, and Texas Tech. Today texass would never even consider trying to orchestrate a move in their best interest. It was the absolute height of arrogance. They know it and so does everyone else. Thank god the Ags blocked that mess and then told those assholes adios.
I've gone back and forth over whether to schedule them or not. Honestly we don't have much to lose or gain by playing them They sure have a lot to gain so for this reason I would rather wait on a bowl matchup and not schedule them on a regular basis.

Tom Herman Media Honeymoon Is Over
Tommy Boy
quote:
No coach in recent memory thrust out his chest, strutted, smacked that bubblegum, scowled and tried to intimidate the masses while acting as if he owned the place without having done a thing on this level more than Tommy Boy Herman.
Weird is in the process of being priced out in Austin, but Karma maintains its residency at DKR Stadium
quote:
Herman is in his second season in Austin, and Bevo looks the same as it did under Charlie Strong. Under John Mackovic. Under David McWillliams. Under Fred Akers.
In the modern era, two people made Texas special: Mack and DKR. The rest were guys stealing those burnt orange checks, and playing plenty of golf.
Tommy Boy has plenty of time remaining to reverse things, and is due such a large sum that AD Chris Del Conte could fend off angry boosters from forcing him to fire his football coach.
Tommy Boy is another tough guy coach who looks and sounds the part, but in the end we realize there are only a few men on this planet who can win at this job.
quote:
Sorry, Texas, Nick Saban ain’t walkin’ through that door. You’re stuck with Tommy Boy.
Tommy Boy

#Aggies play #SEC ball. Not going back to little league #Big12. When #Sooners #Longhorns are able to play Big Boy Football, we might consider playing. Have fun playing touch football v Tulsa, #UCLA. Hope you get demolished. #Gigem

Herman ain't going to be there long enough to see the game resume

The only way in which aggy winning affects us is in recruiting and they are already winning that battle so firing Herman would only hurt us.

The Tom Herman era feels like an ill-advised celebrity wedding right now. Not only was the honeymoon unsatisfying, but Texas fans are now ready to file for divorce.

This guy is making it too easy for the critics
. I'ma get my popcorn ready for when the local media goes against him. Houston media doesn't care about Cougar High football. Texas football is all the Austin media has. I forsee a few credentials getting pulled by season's end. Can't wait to see his BSC wife have a Twitter meltdown when the writing on the wall becomes clear.

@_delconte @BON_SBNation it was not a great game but it doesn’t help when the face of the LHN, Lowell Galindo, gets caught with a live mic and said “This Sucks” after the Tx Fight Song. #ThisIsTexas LINK

Seeing new Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher go head-to-head against national power Dabo Swinney on national television Saturday evening and nearly come out with a victory doesn’t help, either. After two games in College Station, the progress there is apparent.
There’s a problem with all of that, though.
Less than two years ago, ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit infamously called the environment in Austin a “cesspool.”

The fans, though? Context and nuance are completely lost. Reactions come swiftly and filled with emotion, with no willingness to step back and evaluate. Patience is non-existent. Coaches might as well be employed on game-to-game contracts.
Program building? No time for that.
There seems to be little doubt that if fans are willing to start calling for the firing of Herman only 15 games into his tenure, that fits the definition of a cesspool.
Some of their fans reactions:
quote:
Said it as soon as the fallout was just starting to happen and all I heard from you yokels was how much $$$ we were going to make from this amazing deal for LHN.
Nevermind it is 100% the reason why we lost Nebraska, Missouri, Colorado, and aggy. Now our fricking conference sucks arse and we are about to get our fricking shite pushed in by aggy with claims of being competitive in the best conference in the land and with one of only a handful of active coaches with a ring. We can joke about his whore of a wife all we want, but he’s crushing us in recruiting and we can’t even say we’re improving on the field. This program has gone into the fricking shitter and will not come out of it for a decade until we money whip a big name coach AND start winning immediately.
I am going to eat crow. I was fully on board the Herman bandwagon, thinking he was the next Urban. He’s not the answer. And the LHN is the albatross around our neck. That was the 100 year decision that fricked us.
I honestly can't say enough frick yous to this horrible fricking vomit fest. frick all these fricking fricks who've ever had any fricking thing to do with this disgusting bucket of human shite. frick DeLoss, frick Mack, frick president whoever the frick, frick every regent and their shitty fricking offspring, frick every little tiny thing about espn, frick abc, frick Walt frickwad Disney, frick mikky fricking rat faced frick. The whole goddamn thing is a filthy exercise in disgusting frickery and frick anyone who had any inkling it might actually come to fricking fruition and didn't blow the whole fricking thing into the stratosphere.
Oh, and frick Tom Herman, and frick every fricking frickwad who hired him and thought this was the fricking direction we needed to go. frickers.
frick.
They are mad
