    I don't think there is any doubt about that. Beginning with TH's first loss and the remark about pixie dust, Urban has been on his case.

    I forget why Meyer doesn't like Herman. I thought he gave Herman an endorsement in the beginning.
    I'd like to have Meyer, but we are still playing. And it is possible we get to the final 4.

    Texas has Mensa, so Texas is one up on A&M, in spite of its #5 ranking.

    I think an undefeated Northwestern or Cincinnati will leapfrog Aggy. Hope so, anyway.

    And stilling holding out that Florida beats Bama. Don’t think Aggy could jump Bama due to head to head.

    Pass that funky smelling cigarette to me creek.
    You might mean we have a chance on paper, but I highly doubt that.

    If we win out, it'll be discussed at length as a real possibility. We might not get past Iowa St. however...
    Conf. Championships are viewed as first round playoffs. Ie -Northwestern doesn't lose to Ohio State in the Big 10 championship and still get in.
    It'll be a hot Texas team vs ND which just lost the week prior to Clemson, Pac 10 ( currently 15) and Cincinnati. I'm assuming the Aggie loses one more...

    Nails in the coffin....
    1) handling of social issues helping to lead to the creating "The Eyes" mess we have.
    2) Bashing the fan base that also caused The Eyes mess.
    3) Losing.
    4) recruiting is not keeping THE TOP players in the fold. ( Getting a few 4 stars and a 5 star that doesn't grade out to be a difference maker is not cutting it. )
    5) Aggy success.....Looks like Aggy might crack the play-off barrier before Texas.
    Number 5 will get the BMDs kicking dirt faster than the other 4 nails.....
    Unfortunately CDC's and others crazy extended contract and raise after a bowl win over a UG team ( without several players ) who often times under-performs anyway ) is the only thing keeping the axe from falling.
    NO MORE extended contracts or raises UNLESS a championship is actually WON, and final fours are achieved !!!! PLEASE !!!!!!

    * Perceived bashing by people not applying an objective standard (generally those people get pretty upset when the "other side" interprets their side's political statements the exact same way they chose to read into Herman's).

    I agree with that. We count down the days for the Longhorn Football season and during the season we talk about the future-lol.

    Statalyzer,
    No need to mention politics, etc.... Herman, for whatever reason, and whatever thinking BASHED the fan base. Doesn't matter if it was not justified, justified, or what not...HE BASHED HIS FAN BASE !!!!! Huge NO NO !!! Especially when 99.99999% of his bashing was a form of ********; and especially stupid when coming off mediocre seasons and you're on the hot-seat anyway...... Bottom line..A golden rule of coaching...........if you are going to piss people off, you better WIN and WIN BIG.

    It's possible we've been waiting for Black Friday to hire the Urb
    To try and get him at a discount given the tough financial times

    I'm sure most recruits and their people can see how piss poor Texas is this year considering it was one of the great chances to go undefeated. Instead, 2 losses and likely a loss to ISU. Why would they come?

    In your opinion.
    In mine and others opinion, he did not.

    It was the most obvious example I can think of that illuminated the blatant hypocrisy. Notice I didn't argue any particular political opinion, and will not do so).

    My point was this: nobody I've ever seen, regardless of their politics, has accepted - when applied to their own beliefs and statements - the sort of eisegesis being used on Herman's statement.

    He did not. That is fiction. Judging consistently instead of by a double standard makes it obvious. If there's a big debate about (picking an important societal issue besides race out of a hat that I can still relate to football) .... drunk or aggressive driving after football games and I ask "Fellow football fans - are you so impatient leaving games that you put others in danger to get a couple of cars ahead in line? Do you know your alcohol limits and are you willing to get a ride with a friend or a cab or Uber if there's any question?" would any rational person say I bashed the fanbase? No, they would not.

    I said nothing about justification. He didn't bash the fanbase. Many people here simply aren't keeping a level head about his statement and don't even seem to be trying to do so.

    This is normally a pretty reasonable board. More so that most fanbase forums. Far more than other Texas boards. I've found that to generally be true over the past 20 years far more often that not, and that applies to plenty of people and opinions I've disagreed with.

    But there have been a few exceptions (coughmajorvschriscough) where emotions and groupthink have taken over, and this seems to be one of them. You can see some of it on the game threads too - a few certain people are in, say, an "anti-Sam" or "anti-Herman" or "anti-Sterns" camp and simply withhold posting about their particular target when he does something well and loudly point out whenever he doesn't.

    On that line it's kind of funny to see people act like I'm some sort of Herman apologist. I'm not and I never was - heck at the time of his hire probably 80% of this board was quite enthused and I was one of the few saying "Really dunno about this, how are his 2015/2016 seasons at Houston different from Strong's 2012/2013 seasons at Lousiville?" But to a blind critic, anyone who judges a particular action or statement on its own merits looks like a blind apologist. Much like how a blind partisan will even attack their own fellow Party member whenever that member happens to be objective enough to criticize his own side too.
