It’s astounding reading the sip 24/7 that it’s so pessimistic. They normally sunshine pump just like any recruiting bunch so to see the dejection is kind of surprising.

Cause they know what is coming next year "Jimbo time". Plus they are realizing that Herman is a fraud. Here is some quotes from their fans on Hook'em website few weeks ago

As a follower of all the sports writers at the Statesman, and a Longhorn football fan since 1961, I am very upset over the faux coach, T. Herman. In my mind, he was and is, an opportunist that did well in Houston due primarily to having an excellent quarterback, and perhaps a better than average roster, especially on defense. He probably is an okay coach, but not great, and not the coach for Texas. He came here demanding a too high salary, and an upgrade of facilities before either was earned. In all seriousness, he is VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! One might expect, or at least hope for more professionalism than that of a 15-year-old kid chewing bubble gum. After all, he is being paid $5 million+. What are we getting for our money? A bubble gum chewing loser. I think you guys need to mention this in an article.

In my opinion, Herman is NOT the right guy for UT. Even with all of his bluster & special coaching methods he can’t coach well enough to have a winning team. This ship is sinking & it looks like Herman is on course to take the ship & entire crew down. Sadly something’s gone wrong.

However I have a question that I would like to ask Coach Herman that frustrates the heck out of me!! “Coach Herman, you often quote the definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results! You might call that the Texas offense but I would say it is CERTIFIABLY INSANE TO RUN THE READ OPTION WITH SHANE BUECHELE, NOT ONCE BUT OVER AND OVER WITH THE SAME RESULTS….LOST YARDAGE!!” THE LINE CAN’T BASE BLOCK AND SHANE IS NO RUNNING THREAT! JUST RUN TO THE BALL CARRIER CAUSE SHANE WILL PROBABLY STILL BE THERE TOO! DIDN’T TCU TACKLE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME!! I cringe every time we run that play and the defense is in the back field before Mr. Excitement (Shane) can hand off the ball! When your line can’t block one-on-one, why not run old fashion run plays, traps, pulling guards, student body left, counters, bootlegs, roll outs and tell Shane to throw the ball before the receiver makes his break!!
