As long as these "goons" keep their noses clean...remember we have the UTPD and the APD...

305 is the area code of Miami Dade county, where some of the best football athletes in the country are found. These goons had few issues at Florida compared to the offensive side, so I would assume these guys know that there way out is on the football field.

Posted part of this in another thread.

Once upon a time, the University of Texas hired a coach who, coming in, had a record of 17-13, played for for our most hated rival (and beat us), entered Memorial Stadium with a chip on his shoulder and didn't give a damn about glad-handing BMDs or Board of Regents. All he cared about was winning championships at UT. He won 11 conference titles, (finishing 2nd 5 times) and 3 National Championships in 20 years.

Darrell K. Royal wasn't well thought of either when he came to Austin but his focus on winning championships changed the culture of football at Texas and for all of my own personal hand-wringing and disappointments about the coaches who have succeeded DKR in the subsequent years, including Mack Brown, this is, I truly believe, the one coach who can come in here with that same kind of chip on his shoulder, with something to prove and turn Texas football back into winning championships on a consistent basis.

As I said earlier in the year in my thread, "Tired of being tired, I'm tired of not winning championships and playing 2nd fiddle to those GD okies. To that end, and since two of my better friends are former okie coaches, I can tell you that this hire is one that finally ends the okies laughing at us. This hire actually worries them and that, my friends, is a good thing. I would have loved to have had Saban or Fisher but this, in my humble opinion, will be the better and more long-term hire.

I'm ready for a real coach to come in here and NOT accept 10 win seasons as a bench mark. I'm ready to have a Longhorn team that dominates physically and PUTS the beat-down on the okies in historic fashion and never EVER accepts anything less than a conference championship. I'm 52, so I can safely say this to all of my Hornsports comrades out there...it's about damn time.

Once upon a time...is now.

Now, as for what else he brings, take a look at his S&C coach, Ron Moorer. You're going to love this!

Here is another guy that Strong hopefully bring with him. Pat Moorer.

View attachment 628

"When the team took the field, we noticed that cornerback Jordan Paschal was on crutches. Minutes later we looked over to our left and saw him sitting in what appeared to be a ditch, shovel in hand. He literally spent 60 minutes sitting in the blazing hot sun digging in that ditch. The upper-body torment must have been excruciating. And that’s what Moorer does. To promote an atmosphere where guys won’t milk their injuries to stay out of practice...."

GetHooked was hoping for Harbaugh. Recently, GH became enamored with having a coach like Malzahn on the 40.

Malzhan won it all with a Heisman, now he's playing for it all without anything special at QB. GetHooked is impressed.

Don't like the Strong hire at all but being a UT grad, I can't start looking around for another team.

GetHooked will give Mr Strong a chance.

Let's see what you can do Charlie. GH is ready to be impressed.

 

[UT1983]

Can do without the "gangsta" crap. All in favor of guys hungry and full of desire. Looking forward to a team that plays with heart and passion!

UTParothed is happy, happy, happy.

Good for you! Everyone deserves an opportunity.

Pretty sure I just ran through a wall after reading that.

Bring Him I will test him.

 

[GARCH]

This is what is hilarious, is that every expert I've heard report on the Strong hire has unanimously be in favor of the hire, yet some internet pseudonym posting people hate the move because they wanted someone that might never have been coming to Texas in the 1st place.

This man gets it

 

[DMV Horn]

What are "20s"?

20's are called Dubs and are now a smallish tire. I've seen 28s on a car, which looked VERY stupid.

 

[whatthewhat]

I-20 I believe, or it might refer to some part of the area code. Like 305's are Miami Dade players, as their area code is 305.

Whattheehat loved this OP, but the comments here had her dying laughing.
