    Interesting conversation at my Club yesterday re: State of UT Athletics

    Folks- First, I had a conversation with a connected buddy of mine that works with both Powers and Cigerroa. The guy is neither a fan of Powers because of his views of how UT should be envisioned as a University nor Cigerroa due to the fact that he believes Franciso is simply a political attack...

    My conversation with Phil Steele this morning regarding our Horns for '14

    Y'all Spoke with Phil Steele this morning on Bill King's show. Phil Steele is always a gracious guest and seems to be an overall good guy. That being said, I asked about the upcoming season and voiced my concern with Shawn Watson as Offensive Coordinator, err, I mean QB Coach (wink, wink) of...

    in light of all of the negativity, how about some another view point?

    Y'all- I realize there is a bunch of negativity pertaining to our beloved Horns not just on this board but every media outlet in America.  Hell, ESPN is kicking us in the teeth.  The SEC is laughing at the fallen king. The little sisters of the poor in Baylor, TCU, & Tech are having a good...

    After witnessing no UT Player being selected in the draft for the first time since '37..

    After witnessing no UT Player being selected in the draft for the first time since '37, if I am Charlie Strong I ask my team, "do I NOW have your attention?" McPhaul and I were talking yesterday and quite frankly I just don't know how long it's going to fix what is the University of Texas...

    Deep thoughts by Santa Gertrudis as it pertains to our favorite University

    Gents- Been quite some time since I've posted. One of the thngs that I admire about this board is that everyone on this board is an adult. Not some tweny-something punk that is 10' tall and bulletproof behind a keyboard on the vast Internet, but in person is a 29 year old, 5'9" 165lb mildly...

    While everyone is waiting for any updates, here's some rational food for thought..

    Guys- I realize everyone is checking this site, OB, IT, BC, SB, etc. right now craving information. You have mods on one site saying one guy is the front-runner and then the next day it's another guy, and the following day it's yet another guy. Keep in mind, just because someone is...

    My turn- observations from the Alamo Bowl and other things

    Well folks, this is the last of "My Turn" for the '13 season and let me just say that it couldn't have come soon enough IMHO. Remember the days of yore when if we went to the Alamo Bowl it was considered a bad season? Well in recent years our football program has basically set up permanent...

    My thoughts on HC Search, College Football Media, Barnes, Patterson, Powers, etc.

    Merry Christmas Y'all! I want to first commend Darrell and Aaron on the board they are running right now. I also want to commend everyone that participates on this board for being an adult. There is no name-calling and as a 50 year old man, I from the school if you call someone a name (either...

    My turn- observations from the Baylor game

    All- We are winding down yet another sub-par season as it pertains to Texas Football. At this point we are sitting at Year 4 under Mack Brown and his rebuilding project. Keep in mind, Bob Stoops won a National Championship in Year 2 at OU. Urban Meyer took over a losing program at Ohio State...

    Received a text from one of my rich buddies just now. Dude is a KU fan and doesn't have a dog in the fight. Doubtful any houses have been purchased just yet. Why? Well Saban himself was actually in Austin out at Lakeway viewing at a $13M pad earlier this week. He's coming.. SG

    My turn- observations from the Tech game

    Y'all- Well I gotta tell you, the late arriving crowd had me a little concerned that our Seniors were not going to get the proper send-off that they deserved. With the exception of the South End Zone where the student organitizations typically sit , by the time game finally kicked-off the game...

    Red McCombs in the "Your Turn" section of the SA Express-News this morning

    I found this article not in the Sports Page in some interview Red McComb's did, but instead in the "Your Turn" section of the paper where the editorial are. Just not the same Thanksgiving without football between Texas & Texas A&M is just not Thanksgiving. If they are not going to play...

    My turn- Observations during our Bye

    I must admit, this season has been a disappoinment and a lesson in patience & dealing with frustration. In some respects, this season has just dragged-on at a snail's pace. When you've known for the past 4 seasons that a change had to be made at the Head Coaching position, and that...

    THE AFTERMATH: My hopes for the University of Texas Athletics post Mack & Deloss

    I've had plenty of time over the past 4 years as I have watched my beloved, once proud, University of Texas Longhorn Football Program. I have seen a program that seems more concerned with mining meta data on who is friendly to the program and who is not than with winning Football Games. I have...
