oh yes, I forgot about the cheap shot late hit....thanks for the reminder. Yes, he did his job, earned his rewards for that BS hit.......
Well, when he changes his skin from Army to UH to post negatively on a UT recruiting site, you know all that you need to know.
I'm nauseated.
The same old disorganized, mistake laden pile of crap. "We will fix this." When?
Two weeks to prepare and overall, coaches and players, have a worse game than Cal? Think about how many horrible decisions, lack of fundamentals, and basic things like extra points went bad. Over and over we see this even with wins.
The clock is running down, you are just inside you kickers comfort region, you have all your time outs and the clock runs out? This is inexcusable. It's gonna take more than a good OU game. Big steps are going to have to made the rest of the year. And small mundane essentials like extra points, snaps, fck there are so many, have got to get cleaned up.
Does anybody really believe things will really change? I just can't see it. I can hope, but I just can't see it. The same oozing sore keeps breaking out on Saturday. This is the only consistent thing about this program. We can't clear up the endemic rot. The virus lies there waiting for any little chance to show itself.

True, but this is a good illustration of our lack of any sort of resourcefulness. And that we are easy to plan for because we can't really carry out any clever sort of adjustment on D because we can't even get the basics.
From Chip Brown
Talked to several key players who usually have some influence over the status of the Texas football coach, including high-ranking players at UT.
There will be no mid-season action taken on the head coach.
"There's no upside," a key player said.
Texas president Greg Fenves ultimately will make the call on if Strong will stay or go.
And I was told tonight, "The Tower is in no way ready to hit the panic button one quarter of the way into the season."
I texted with the influential big money donors I spoke with in Wednesday's HD ONLY about what was at stake in the Ok State game for Strong.
One said: "If this is fixing it with Strong's involvement - then this doesn't bode well for him."
Another said: "Not sure he can fix this. The 18-point losses - his 10th in three years after Saturday - were supposed to be over."
Another said: "Really wanted today to be different. Well, actually it was. It was worse defensively than the Cal game."
When asked if Strong could buy himself time by firing Vance Bedford and replacing him (maybe with Clint Hurtt) , One powerful big-money source said:
"That should've happened last week. That's the problem with Charlie - everything comes too late. The offensive changes. The defensive changes. He only has two coaches left from his original staff , and we're talking about him possibly firing one of the remaining two. Someone who should have been fired after last year or after last game, right?"
To say Strong needs the best week of his coaching life at Texas heading into the OU game might be putting it mildly.
It's dire times in Texas football once again.
This got lost yesterday in the aftermath of the game. 2018 QB Spencer Sanders of Denton Ryan committed to Oklahoma State after the game.
Multiple sites reporting Coach Bedford will officially be demoted tomorrow.
Horns to demote D-boss Vance Bedford; Charlie Strong to assume duties

Looks like it is official. Not sure that Bedford is more than just a small part of the problem. Maybe Strong can teach his team how to tackle. The secondary is lousy and Jefferson looks like he has taken a step back. In fact, Wheeler looks just as bad.
