8 seconds equals the summation of weeks of being on the edge of our seats.

Interesting. I wonder what kind of offense Alabama will be running next season.

^^^^This. $5 mil buyout and a huge contract + 1-2 yrs. of success = highly sought after for an HC position elsewhere. For that kind of money it's just not worth it. IMO.

What's wrong with this kid!?!? That's not just morally and ethically wrong, but jail time. The more this kid says and does the more disturbed I am. Someone needs to reach out to him give him some guidance-- not about football, but everything outside of that.

That buyout would especially hurt if Morris is crazy successful his first season or two and then gets offered an HC job somewhere else.

The more I hear Coach Strong speak the better I feel about the direction of this program. He's going to do great things for this program. Hook'em Strong! :)

Hello and welcome to HS. :)

Congratulations to you and your son! That is truly awesome news. :)

Thanks McPhaul. Do you ever get a day off?!?!

Great for team leadership on both sides of the field. Good news is great news! Hook'em.

Dance puppets, dance! Muaha ha ha ha ha!!!

^^^^This! Time to log out for a few days-- if I can. Lol! :)

Good to know that CS hasn't settled on Watson. Herman's the guy to get IMO.

We've all been seen what happens when things get dragged out. How long do you think it'll take take agree upon a contract, get him to Austin?

McP posted that Watson is a fallback choice. So something is going on behind closed doors. Anyone browsing Ohio State boards? Inquiring minds would like to know.

Seriously pre-med to photography--is that legit or a joke? If true then it's apparent he's getting a lot of advising on football and not on an education. That's really sad-- to be used by a university for football and no one gives a damn about a future outside that. I could make an aggie joke...

And that's a pretty big if too. I don't see why he'd leave a good thing there. But maybe he hopes to use this program as a stepping stone to greener HC pastures. I'd love to see him here, even if for only a few years. Hook'em.

I like that they're essentially saying Strong is a good hire and we can compete. Still, how can the big wig analysts be making predictions when we don't even know who the OC is yet. I'd love a 9+ win season in Strong's first year. Imagine his second year. Good times ahead. Hook'em.

Herman would be great but I don't know why he'd leave an already existing solid program. I believe he spent a yr. at UT as a grad. asst., but the guy is from Ohio and has family there. This would be huge for Strong's offense, and hope that we offer him a very enticing deal. Hook'em.

Good to here he'll be around. Looking forward to some great Texas football talk from you guys. Hook'em.
