Suck it Texas

[ShadowFrog]

And the woman who came up to me in the Texas Club at half time and told me I didn't belong there...you my good lady can go scheiss yourself.

I for one would love to hear the rest of that story.

If GP was just an analyst, it would seem he’d want to be up in the booth out of sight for this particular game as the optics aren’t particularly good. Instead, he’s on the sidelines quite visible quite involved. I think that added fuel and an incentive to our defensive players to prove they were better than what they achieved last year under his management.

Game. Set. Match. TCU defense.

It has got to be very humbling for him to see how well TCU is playing with “his players” after years he has had with this team….Forever a fan of GP and that statue is well deserving, but as I have posted before, his coaching staff had gotten very stale.

 

[Hemingway]

We did fire him.

I’ve never been fired, but I’m not sure how willing I would be to “help” a team/organization that fired me.

We didn’t offer another role?

 

[ShadowFrog]

We didn’t offer another role?

Don’t believe the hype. No I was definitely not in the room but from all the reports we’ve seen and read, tempers & temperatures were highly raised and forthcoming discussions about alternative roles in the university I think are way over inflated. Bottom line, the decision was done though it was not always agreed-upon by all parties. But that’s the way it was.

Ha!

Tomorrow my lady, I will be in Fort Worth and you will be wearing your ugly, burnt Orange, homemade, pajamas!

with apologies to Winston Churchill?

…I have read these stories for years and always thought they were made up. I never dreamed that a story like this would actually happen to me…yada yada yada…I woke up and gnawed my arm off and then drove home from Austin.

 

[Hoosierfrog]

This. I think the hate for Gary is love-hate.

I don't get why there isn't more hate for a guy who CHOSE to leave us to go to UT. And yes, to those of us who know his history, CDC looked like a [ profanity ].

But yet you embrace the Rose Bowl in your signature…

 

[Hoosierfrog]

Well, Ewers might try acting again…

 

[Bruce Berry]

I for one would love to hear the rest of that story.

My wife and I just standing there at the half in their touchdown club keeping a low profile and this woman walks up to me and says you don't belong here and leaves. To my wife's amazement (especially after my interaction with the [ profanity ] who sat in front of us for the Oklahoma State game) I said nothing.

Everyone else was pretty cool.

Walking out of that stadium was so fun. Living here I have to deal with these people all day.

Another question tonthe Patterson bashers: do we not give a little bit of credit to him for this team? He recruited all these player correct? Just needed a different voice.

Of course he gets credit for having good players on our team.

He was fired because had proven for four years straight that he could no longer win with said great players.

I don’t care what he does now; we fired him and he has a right to go find a job, be bitter, and try to beat us if desired. I suspect that was the best gig he could get while he figured out what he wants to do…if anything.

We also have a right to make fun of him with a deep arsenal because some may feel like he picked the wrong team to help out.

It doesn’t make either side of that relationship bad people. Just normal human emotions and message board fun.

?

 

[WIN]

Same, but I had graduated and moved to Austin. Was at the game with some new "friends" who were Horn alumni. It was horrible.

Sounds like you have some calls to make.

CDC didn’t win the Rose Bowl for TCU.

CDC’s legacy is the Plus 4 and a stadium with terrible seats for anyone not in the suites or club

 

[Michael Milton's Jaw]

Lol the horns have a thread about how bad Ewers is. They think worse than Swoopes. They are brutal. Worse than anything here about our QBs.

We want that. Manning is leaving high school early and will be in Austin for spring training. If Ewers loses the QB1 job, we need him to come home to Fort Worth. Other than big parts of last night, Duggan has “found it” this year under the Dykes team. For 3 years it was Max with happy feet and the big foot split when he threw the ball; this year he actually found touch. Imagine what that same group could do with a kid with an arm like Ewers?

 

[Deep Purple]

Well he is straight up awful. We dodged a bullet by him not coming to TCU. Just another in a solid line of awful longhorn QBs.

TCU would never sign a QB who wears a mullet. Only UT is that desperate.

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Can someone place one of these images behind GP?

 

[Hoosierfrog]

?

My reading comprehension issue, apologies.

 

[Showtime Joe 2.0]

I would rather not bash GP either. That is before I saw him on camera yelling at the officials for a flag. The announcers called him still being competitive. I call it he wanting to beat us and rub our noses in it. He's not just a dispassionate analyst. He's a T-sip now. Screw him.

Yeah, I thought that was a revealing moment caught by the cameras. He’s obviously a bitter man who has invested emotionally in our failure. The necessary decision to fire him was a business decision on our part and not a personal one. And yet he took it personally. I guess he never saw The Godfather.

However, I do respect him for staying on the field after the game and greeting Max and some of our other players. So, in the end, he seems to be a conflicted man at this point. As some women like to say about their romantic relationships, “It’s complicated.”
