That's it. I don't give a flying fig if Texas comes back(its 28-14 right now.) Fire the fickle folding fraud that is Mack Brown.
Once again, he's couldn't prepare his team for the big game. Once again outcoached. Once again overhyped. Once again his team can't run. Once again his defense is shredded. Once again he ignored an offseason opportunity to replace his coaches who have used smoke and mirrors and early high rankings to fool the media into thinking his team would finally be better than what they are. Same ol' sham.
Arkansas first truly exposed the fraud that is Mack Brown back in the Cotton Bowl several years ago. So did Mack learn and prepare his team this time? Nope, instead he frivolously whined and moaned last week about the UA coach 'disrespecting' UT by celebrating after the upset Cotton Bowl win. It is MACK who has disrespected Texas. Grow up, Mack, quit making excuses.
Arkansas has less talent, yet they are whipping UT with a balanced attack. UT's drives depend heavily on penalties, not a balanced offense with a solid running game. If they can't control Arkansas, they have no chance against the best in college football.
Thanks for the good recruiting Mack, you did a good job of bring UT back. But you can't win the big one, and worst of all, you don't mentally prepare your teams. Remember the Big 12 Champ game in Dallas against Colorado, where a stupid jump offsides by Texas on a punt kept alive a CO drive, and cost UT a win and a guaranteed place in the mythical national championship game? Remember a year later, again in Dallas and eeriely similar, UT jumped offsides on an obvious OU 4th down attempt to draw them offsides(AFTER A TIMEOUT! Isn't that what you specifically warn your team not to do?). That stupid mistake(at the end of the 2nd quarter) allowed a touchdown which changed the game momentum and once again saw the Longhorns NC title shot flushed down the toilet. Remember how everyone was talking about a possible Texas Tech upset, yet wide-eyed Mack sure enough fell into the trap and lost, then claimed he had no clue that it might happened. Get behind, and the team panics and folds. It is the coaches' job to prepare their team, and in most big games, UT has failed to be prepared.
Oh, they'll let him play out the season, but no matter what the final score, this game is an embarrassment and confirmation that Mack cannot take this team any further. There will be no national championship this year. Time to begin planning for a quiet but graceful exit.
Annual like clockwork bump
FIRE MACK!
Not to mention benching Major Applewhite in favor of choker Sims.
OK, I'll give him another year...
I remember when Texans fired Bum Phillips for always getting to the playoffs, but never winning the Superbowl.
How's that working out for ya?
Well, you sure show more class than a USC quarterback.
Hello there!
Bump.
YEE FREAKIN' HAW!
Heh heh heh.
Takes a lot of class to admit you were wrong in this manner.
K. State 45, Texas 42, season over. Another classic Mack Brown choke after being handed a spot in the mythical national championship game. 6th time for Mack at Texas.
We'll take him here in Aggieland. Anyone is better than the idiot we have right now.
Well, if Franchioni can figure out to actually handoff to Lane instead of passing down on the goal line, ya'll have a shot at knocking us out of any BCS bowl and put OU into the Big 12 conf. champ game. But whenever Texas chokes out of the chase and the pressure is off Coach February then usually does great, so Texas will probably still win.
Who knows, the Texas defense has been a fraud all season, the loss of Colt McCoy just finally exposed it when Texas couldn't outscore its D's giveups.
The problem with Franchione is that he plays not to lose, he does not play to win.
Which is why I am glad he got to 8 wins, I don't see them firing him unless ya'll get totally embarrassed in a bowl.
Well, I see us getting dismantled on the 24th and then in whatever toilet bowl we end up going too. Maybe if I'm lucky it won't be the Alamo or Houston Bowls so I will have another chance to get some pictures of a charter flight coming into CLL.
Um, my thread bump was tongue-in-cheek venting.
