So Briles Jr. has resigned to possibly be going to FSU. Good fit for him there. They have cheating down to a science.

Yeah, and wonder if they have a lot of white girls there who LIKE football players? Wasn't that one of his selling points about Baylor to recruits over in Dallas?

If the Comacheria had no boundaries, how do you know that "Austin - Travis County was most definitely Comancheria in 1830" -- your words. Self-contradictory argument.

Map isn't BS. It's supported by a number of maps, some of them of quite early origin, that delineate the territory the white settlers of Texas understood as the Comancheria. Sure, there were no fixed boundaries. But we do know the Comancheria ended where other tribes controlled the ground -- and the Tonkawa controlled the Travis County area. Just was the Waco controlled the McLennan County area. No Comanche lived in either place. They raided there. It was enemy ground.

You appear to be among a group of history enthusiasts who for over 40 years have regarded the writings of T.R. Fehrenbach as inerrant scripture. Fehrenbach was a prolific author and impressive amateur historian. He had a bachelor's degree in the subject (same as me), but no advanced degrees in history. He was also a sometime journalist, writing for newspapers and magazines. But his primary background was in insurance. He founded and made his principal living from the Royal Poinciana Insurance Company of San Antonio.

Over the past 15 years, professional and more highly academically credentialed historians have poked some holes in Ferehnbach's work. A principal criticism is Ferehnbach's apparently racist tendency to interpret Texas history as a long and gradual ascendancy of superior Anglo-Celtic people over the barbarous and backward Hispanics and Indians.

Fehrenbach is an important voice in the whole schema of Texas history. He is not the only voice, or even the foremost voice. Broaden your reading, froginaustin. It'll help you recover from the koolaid you drank in 7th grade Texas history.

Blessed to announce that I don’t know any of this.

I thought he just announced he was staying at Houston?

Houston Sports Radio talked about some weird accounting going on with this deal earlier this week. UH/Tape Fingers/FSU worked out some deal to get around all the contracts and buyouts where UH gave him a raise for the sole purpose of paying it back to UH for breaking his contract. Some thought that because of the raise, he was staying, but it was just creative accounting. Really don't see the incentive for UH to do that, but whatever. Either way, his team looked like [ Finebaum ] and totally overmatched by Army.

To me he hasn’t done much without his dad to help him out. Imo he under performed at FAU and Houston. His last year at Baylor was terrible with him calling plays.

I don’t understand all this but it appears UH wanted him gone.

Yah it’s one thing to call plays in that established system with the right players in place(which it sounds like he isn’t doing that well), it’s another thing to build that system into a program.

Top 5 offense is underperforming?

He has got lucky with having King be the best athlete on the field. 2016 he had players and didn’t do anything with it. FAU and Houston have offense minded head coaches so he didn’t have full control of the offense. He has yet to achieve anything as someone running the offense by himself without daddy

He took FAU to the 6th best offense in the country last year. They were 75th the year before and dropped to 38 this year. Houston was the 11th best offense in the country this year. Last year they were 37.

Dude deserves all the hate thrown his way, but he is a good offensive coach.

Saying he’s “lucky” and not really in control despite being hired by mediocre teams and immediately getting them into the top five nationally on offense are not the same things as underperforming. Which year was an underperformance out of the last two? The year where they were 5th nationally or 6th? It’s fine if you hate him but let’s not be blind to the fact that he probably has a little something offensively that nobody else seems to be able to replicate.
