The phrase "All Gas No Brakes" did not work in 2021.

    Billy Dale The History of Longhorn Sports through 2014

    Texas was so excited about the motto "The Longhorns Trademarked Steve Sarkisian's “All Gas No Breaks” .


    Next year a more realistic slogan for Texas should be "Always be Closing"


    That is also the bottom line for the Longhorn Coaching Staff and the team members in 2022. To win- “ALWAYS BE CLOSING.”


    Larry Carlson shares his thought on this at :


    The History of Longhorn Sports

    This silent video (because of vulgar language) shares something the Horns don’t do often enough. Alec Baldwin is telling his “players” that they should ALWAYS BE CLOSING in the game of Real Estate.

    I just looked up the word irony in Webster's, as it is sometimes confusing and I was seeking clarification.
    It just says "All gas, no brakes"
    Can someone explain this to me please.
    What does Daniel mean??

    All gas only works if you have enough gasoline. This team obviously did not so they coasted to a stop. What are the odds - that's the same thing that happens when one breaks. You stop!

    I still consider myself on board with Sark but I couldn’t help myself from thinking the presser sure reminds me of ‘just gotta get the ingredients together to bake the cake’. Ugh

    Slogans don't mean ****.

    Another thing I am sick of these coaches talking about is "culture change."
    One after another has used that a mantra, and after a while it just starts to sound like an excuse.
    "Your team blew it, again coach. How do yo explain it?"
    "well, Culture change takes time"
    Blah bla blah
    In other words, its not my fault. Its the previous guy's fault, and the duds he left me.

    They talk about it like its some kind of magical concoction of the right slogans, pee charts, t-shirts, injury pits etc etc etc

    Its all ********. Culture will create itself if you have success. Alabama doesn't have some special "culture" that propels them to win. Winning is their culture, and their culture is winning, plain and simple.

    The next hire we make, if they mention culture change one time in the interview they need to get sent packing.
    Instead, I'd like to us how you intend to win as many games as you can NOW with the guys you have.

    This may well be the best.post in Hornfans history. I've considered making essentially the same post for at least a couple of years. People call it culture to sound sophisticated.

    Indeed, I never realized you were that smart Detective.
    Sabre- If you interviewed Sark did he say it would
    take 3 years to get back to 7-3?

    Is this a slam on Big 12 officiating? No Breaks as opposed to Brakes. (Slow crowd tonight )

    It was okay. Your assignment is to do a lot of past reading on Horn Fans.

    Agree on so much of the above posts.

    Slogans are generally silly, jingoistic, and stink of contrived organizational bullsh!t. True in sports and other endeavors.
