Orangebloods reported that Texas has dismissed S Josh Turner and RB Joe Bergeron for a violation of team rules. In addition to the dismissals of RB Jalen Overstreet and S Chevoski Collins and the indefinite suspensions of WRs Montrel Meander and Kendall Sanders one wonders if Texas will have enough players to field a team next season. It appears Charlie Strong isn't taking any crap Mack left around.

Add Kendall Thompson to the list for those who don't want to scroll down two posts. His is believed to be related to concussions and not a violation of team rules though.

I think Strong will do a great job at UT, once he gets rid of the riff raff and brings his own players in.

LB Kendall Thompson as well. I think the entitlement era is well and truly dead now. Get on the train or get the frick out of the way

Next year might be rough for Texas but I think they will at least win 7 games and upset somebody (thinking the game vs. UCLA).

Texas will be back in 2-3 years IMO.

Texas will be a dangerous team in 2-3 years. Really hoping they get something done with UF. What a game that will be down the line if it happens.

Why go to Texas where you get kicked off when you can go to A&M and do anything?

Supposedly there was a surprise drug test a few days ago and this might be the fallout from that

Maybe. One has to wonder if entitled, talented 18 year old males want to follow rules to play football or go somewhere they aren't punished for anything.

Charlie better start wooing these kids' moms.

He brought in guys like Michael Dyer and Zeke Pike at UofL, so he's known for being a second chance guy. These guys must be total frick ups.

If this is from a failed drug test he will have a hard time getting recruits.

I would imagine it's not the first time they failed one.

Everyone praising Strong needs to remember this when Texas doesn't compete for the Big 12 title this year. And there comes a point that you have to win. Everyone likes being morally superior... they like winning even more. This only works if Strong starts wining Big 12 titles.

He will get a one year pass, but then all of the people currently praising him will get awfully short tempered looking up at the standings and seeing Baylor ahead of them. There is a price to this strategy.

I really hope it works. Genuinely.
