Crunch would be even better with this coaching search going on

I can't believe all the SEC crew wanted him gone so badly.  That guy was comedy gold, whether he was genuinely insane or just the world's greatest troll.  Even level-headed Cincy who has an otherwise good sense of humor didn't like him.  

Now they're over there wondering why the board died.  Well, it's cuz they ran off everybody entertaining.

Crunch WAS comedy gold... i didn't mind him one bit... 

he has some issues, though.. to be sure.. talking 'black helicopters' issues, and believing the feds were coming for him. 

he's likely had his computer room access taken away from him from whatever asylum he resides.

I don't think he was a real person.  And watching OAM take the bait for years was high comedy that you simply can't contrive.  

I got tired of the Gump brigade and OAM at the end, but that would've been okay if 25, beachbumgator, CrimsonTide87, kwyoung, TexasPacker, mhasen, and a bunch of the other old crew hadn't left.  

Maybe as the days go by it'll pick up new entertaining posters, but at a new URL, the guys who weren't around for the switch will likely never find this place.  Except 25....I think TK knows him irl.  The funniest online dickhead I've ever known.

I enjoyed the smack downs with Crunchy during the recent OU-Tenn home and home series big time.

You’d think from Crunch that simply walking into Neyland alone would seal the Sooners fate.  That they’d be so overwhelmed by the place and the glorious history of UT that our players would just collapse into a quivering mass and curl up in one big fetal position at midfield and wait while the Vols administered pain and suffering that would be absolutely beyond anything ever experienced in the weak and pathetic high school league called the Big XII.

That lasted up until about the middle of the second half as the Sooners staged a major comeback win.  Then after a bit of silence as the realization sunk in, the accusations began to fly - against the refs, the play calling, the conduct of OU, and that of course that Butch should be fired.

Actually it was a whole lot like playing Texas.  UT fans: Can’t live with ‘em, can’t kill ‘em ... but it’s sure fun to beat ‘em

Texas Packer.  Man, that name rings a bell.  I can remember a months-long argument between him and the  Pac-12 guys on the Pac-12 board.  I think the subject was OOC-scheduling or the like.
He was wrong, but was impervious to facts or logic.  The epitome of an SEC homer.

That's Burnt Eyes.  He was the greatest Texas smacker the CNN/Scout boards ever saw, imesho.

We have a few of the old gang here.

Every time I get a chance I scour the Scout boards looking for old posters. We've landed a few and hope there are more.

Sounds like Herman is damning the torpedoes.  A birdie tells me he is out on the trail telling recruits that they will start.

So that maybe that explains the perceived disenchantment of some current players looking to move on.

I believe Herman is convinced he’s dealing with duds.  If he wants to field all freshman next year, I’m fine with it.

"Blow it up, burn it down, and rebuild" is a high-risk, high-reward strategy.

For comparison, it's not what Bob Stoops did when he took over from John Blake (12-22 over three years) at OU.  Stoops embraced the players he inherited, but made it clear that there would be changes in preparation, expectations, and performance.

And with that team of 85 bad apples and rejects from the reform schools, and community colleges of Texas, he won a national championship in his 2nd year.

The National Merit Scholars and Eagle Scouts that Herman will recruit will probably do well too.
