There is the the very real possibility that if Texas loses this afternoon they will finish last in the Big 12 in football . . . what a glorious sight that would be too.

If they lose to Charlie the Hutt, they deserve to be in last place.

Kansas is playing a wheelchair team???

Texas has a pretty decent defense and zero offense.

Not that that will mean a damn thing after today. On Oct 11th Texas will be 2-4. Baylor and OU are up next. After that though there are another 4 or 5 wins.


[Rumor]Heard today that the reason Strong is kicking guys off the team is for pot. He is randomly testing one player per day and has performed more tests so far this season than the rest of the Big XII and SEC combined.[/Rumor]

He's kicking kids who were Mack's. A lot of coaches do it. He did it at Louisville as well.

Do you really think that Texas is a coin flip with KState, OState, TCU, or even West Virginia? Really?

I think if Texas goes 5-7 they should count their lucky stars.

i don't think UT can score enough points to beat OSU or WVU. too bad about Ash, but kid has got to shut it down with concussions. good for him. his family and such.

that said, i think Texas wins at Kansas by a couple td's. kansas sucks. not like @ku means much.

Good move. It's really hard to succeed at football if you smoke pot.

speaking of smoking pot, here in Colorado where it's all legal and such....there is a university that plays football.

it's interesting how legal and medicinal marijuana are generating a very lame tourism market. dumb people from the midwest and new york/new jersey and the ubiquitous red sox fan from ne come to Denver/Boulder for stoner holidays and actually buy t-shirts about smoking marijuana. dumbest thing you ever saw.

no one in the NBA smokes it either.

Well, when you aren't succeeding, maybe you need to spend a little more time practicing and studying than smoking pot and playing Madden. For far too long the inmates have been running the asylum in Austin. Asses will have to be kicked and turds will have to be flushed to turn it around.

It's his team and his rules. Don't like it? Fuck the fuck off and hit the bricks. Your fryolator awaits. It's a matter of priorities.

One of the three most successful football players in UT history individually is probably the most notorious pot smoking athlete of all time.

Are you attempting to make a point? Ricky Williams was also one of the biggest underachievers in the history of football.

I was pointing out the atmosphere in Austin.

And you're trying to point that out to me? I lived in Austin for 11 years. I was either commuting to Ft. Hood from Austin or finishing up my last couple semesters at UT while Ricky was playing there. I know the atmosphere. It wasn't any secret on campus that Ricky was a little too laid back for football either. I'm still not sure what point you're trying to make.

Strong was given a team that has disappointed and underachieved for years and he is trying to get that turned around. When he took over, he laid out some pretty simple rules: "no drugs, no guns, no stealing, be honest and treat women with respect." He wants players whose number one priority is football not smoking weed and fucking off. If that's what they want to do...they can do it someplace else.

Do you have some disagreement with that approach?

You're trying to lecture me about Austin? Seriously? You know I'm from Austin, right? I'm pretty sure I've forgotten more about the town than you know . . . kind of comes

And that is totally false. His mentor, Urban Meyer does this when he comes into a new team. Charlie did this when he came in at Louisville. Both have no problems with the players they recruit acting this way.

Were you attached to the UT ROTC program or the Military graduate programs there? I ask for a very specific reason . . .

Sports Illustrated wrote an article a couple of years ago about a team that has an extremely high rate of heads.

They've been doing fairly well. Then again, I think they use the laxness towards weed as a recruiting tool.

Dinsdale wrote:They've been doing fairly well.

And Texas hasn't. Weed doesn't make you a better football player. At best it's a distraction and teams that are trying to get better can't afford distractions. They need to establish priorities.

Is that really so difficult to comprehend?

Might be if you're really high, right Dins?

What were we talking about again?

How good the dope mv used to get in Austin was back in the day.

Meh. It was aight. The smoke is better in California. That's beside the point, though. I was a slacker not a BTPCF player.

I was for real lying. Nothing but mexican dirt floating around Austin in the 90s.

Mv, If Charlie Strong is so serious about drug use on his team why is the first motivational speaker he invited to practice Austin's most notorious drug user, Matthew McConaughey?

Embellish much?

Shouldn't you have asked that prior to claiming MM was the first?

For starters, Jamal Charles spoke to them in the locker room at the Kansas game. Other than him off the top of my head just this season; capt Sully, Michael Dell, a HS player who had to quit the game because of cancer and Admiral McRaven.

I hadn't seen any of that. Matt is the only one I have seen on LHN. I assumed . . . my bad.

Still, why bring him in at all? Seems rather hypocritical to bring in an outspoken MJ legalization poster child as well as the communities most famous and notorious drug abuser.
