@Numpsay @Spade what do you guys think is the proper solution to the eyes situation? I think this has caused friction in the locker room and is only going to get worse with fans bombarding CDC's line.
And I think eventually it will come back. Not a matter of if but when. As for this season, it’s already subpar so roll with it I guess.

Are posters on Shaggy all-in on firing Herman & going after Urban Meyer or nah?
Surly and OB are now all in. And I still bet Herman is coaching for his job if they collapse. Tbh, he has to win the conference this year. Maybe an appearances would appease some folks but if they miss it entirely, all bets are off.

They should have just stop playing it. This was only ever going to result in division among the team. You can't go back to forcing the players to stay on the field and sing it. The only option is just to do away with it and find a suitable replacement. This half measure isn't going to work. And as far as my personal opinion, fukk the eyes, the fan base reacting to the players this way is part of the entire issue. fukk that song.

I'll say what I've wanted to say for a long time. Especially to @satam55 and @dtownreppin214

What fukked Texas up is when Charlie said no to Kyler Murray.

Would have brought in more big time recruits for Herman. Sam wouldnt have developed so many bad habits by playing early. He would be a RS JR that wasnt beat up from 4 years of being a bowling ball.

Charlie got prideful as hell that Kyler said no a year earlier and it fukked Texas. Too worried about hurting Shane's feelings.

Not sure where you got that from but Kyler was never coming to Texas and Charlie didn't tell him no.

Breh when Kyler was transferring Texas was the #1 school on his list. He wanted to come and Charlie told him no thats why he went to OU.
Charlie told him no because he wanted to be guaranteed the starting position. Did not want to sit behind Shane. Went to OU because he'd only sit one year behind Mayfield.

:francis: can I get a quick summary on how this game went?
KI is cursed.
Sam has regressed unless it's in the final minutes of the game then he turns into John Elway.
Defense still hasn't fixed tackling
I want a DNA test on our punter, I don't believe he's related to dikkson.
Our defense still can't tackle.
'18 secondary class is so disappointing.
Whittington and Bijan looked good
Right side of the oline is terrible.
Interior of oline is penalty-prone.
Herb Hand sucks.
We're going to miss Ossai next year.
Team overall looked flatter than OU, just like the old days.
Herman probably should have let his nuts hang and go for two points and the win a couple of times.
Rattler will probably give us problems over the next few seasons.
Sam is probably going to be revered forever for being the only player standing for the Eyes.
From what I saw today, I think we lose at least 2 more games this year. Probably 3.

A compromise of some sort is going to have to come about. I thought we were already there by letting the players leave the field, but that has enraged the fanbase. Orangebloods is apoplectic about it and I think this segment of the fanbase is going to start voicing their displeasure with their wallets. That's problematic for CDC considering the suites he has to sell in the SEZ. Things are about to get ugly the rest of the way with decommits and more losses on the horizon (ISU, KSU, probably Baylor or Oklahoma State). CDC is going to have to make a move on Herman now. This can't continue or shyt is going to get more toxic.

I didn't know this.

Anyways I'm glad he didn't come here. He would have ruined like every other top athlete that comes to Austin. The culture here stinks. Looking forward to seeing Kyler back in Dallas in a few weeks.
