In this edition of Mondays in the Humidor we’ve got a special treat from behind enemy lines. We’ll get an Oklahoma Cigar’s take on the hiring of Coach Jay Norvell, what it means for Texas potentially, and what Texas fans can expect after poaching the Sooners’ wide receiver coach.
In light of the lack of news, this is going to be a somewhat abbreviated edition of Mondays in the Humidor with the Big Cigar. Our sources talk about a variety of topics from Jerrod Heard and the quarterback position overall to the assistant coaching search to replace Coach Chambers and Koenning. We’ll also hit on some topics having to do with the recruiting trail.
In this edition of Mondays in the Humidor with the Big Cigar we’re going to yen and yang this thing with a little bit of bad news short term and would-could be some good news going forward. Hint, as things currently stand, Texas has personnel issues.
In this edition of Mondays in the Humidor with the Big Cigar we have very little good news to report—unless you consider the end of this season being good news. We do have a full a report on what’s going on internally with this Texas football team. In a year that was mainly focused on purging the chaff from Mack Brown’s program, those who are optimists would say the season was a great success considering this team made a bowl game.
In this edition of Mondays in the Humidor with the Big Cigar we’ll be focusing on the bowl workouts and how the team is looking heading into the December 29th showdown with current SEC member and former SWC rival Arkansas. We’ll also talk about the bb’s slowly but surely getting back in the proverbial box. For those that don’t get the reference, it was Darrell Royal’s analogy about the fractured Texas fan-base. There’s certainly good news here mainly because recruiting has turned on a dime and the trajectory of the program has gone from gradual improvement to potentially meteoric if Malik Jefferson brings who we think he’ll bring to the 40 Acres.
In this edition of the Humidor we’re slaves to our readership and their cut to the chase questions.

The good news is that like most things, dysfunction is in the eyes of the beholder.
In this edition of Mondays in the Humidor with the Big Cigar we’ve got a mixed bag of football, Charlie Strong, and politics.

In this edition of Mondays in the Humidor with the Big Cigar we try to recover after the Turkey Day debacle. Our source talks about a team who was sky hih prior to the ball game, shaken but not defeated at halftime, and then ripped to shreds in the post-game locker room.

In this edition of Mondays in the Humidor with the Big Cigar the Kool Aid is flowing especially vis a vis our biggest in state rivals—the Texas A&M Aggies. Perception from recruits and insiders in the great state have not only tilted to the Longhorns in recent weeks, but it has prompted the future powers-that-be to talk about facility enhancement and stadium expansion now that the worm seems to be turning. As we reported in recent weeks, some of the big money guys needed evidence that this Texas program was on a positive trend line before going all-in.
