Texas is poop.

Oh, and one other thing, Aggiefan.... one of those "non-AQ cupcakes" put up 57 points!!! on your pitiful team this past weekend...

[rjv]

Except for Aggie, they just had 6-6 seasons every year....

Sticking up for the conference you couldn't wait to leave


Newsflash: Kansas, Baylor, and (formerly) Colorado and Aggie haven't traditionally been tough matchups for the real teams in the conference....


Instead you just stay at home and purchase cakewalk September wins from FCS schools....


Back when we beat TCU in the Fiesta, the Mtn West still had the Frogs, Utah, and BYU, and there was talk of them getting AQ status, tbh....


Using NFL results and draft position to determine who the best COLLEGE players were
How'd that theory work out for Ryan Leaf, JaMarcus Russell, Ki-Jana Carter, Charles Rogers, Courtney Brown, etc.
I guess Kurt Warner and Tom Brady suck because they weren't first round glorified QB's on draft day
Aggie logic

i'm sticking up for all of the other conferences that are significantly better than crappy conferences who have to boast about the few years that the utes (now 4-8 in the Pac 12 since joining), the frogs (who will be a 2nd tier team in the big XII), and BYU were "solid".

teams that play in 'real' conferences get to cakewalk in september if they choose especially if they then have to proceed to play 5 to 6 top 25 teams the rest of the year (and not the traditional one game you have an entire off season to prep for and then the bowl game where the team that usually plays for something more has to try to get up for potato u.)

russell and leaf sure to have way too much hype about them as did andre ware, david klingler, ty detmer and a whole bunch of other kellen moore type QB's who padded stats against DBs that ran a 4.8 forty.

specious reasoning would be judging the greatest all time QB of all time by purely quan ative stats. moore should not even be mentioned in the top 25 of all time

nice to see that even you recognize how awful these BCS busters wins are in the overall scheme of things. if it is worth making fun of (which you have), even when that team is being referred to as "this years boise state", then that is strong evidence for supporting my claim that those kinds of wins are not measuring sticks of a programs worth. i sure as wasn't impressed by it. if all we did was beat a ranked la tech team each year and then give florida a good game, i would not be impressed at all. i'd feel like boise state fan.

...just realized this thread is way off track. back to the subject at hand. yes, texas is a big dissapointment this year

[lebomb]

5-9 against Bob Stoops. Four of those losses are among the worst blowouts in Texas Longhorn football history. All are the worst against OU in series history. And the record would be the same if both coaches switched programs. Who am I kidding? It would be worse.

Two conference les at the University of Texas in fifteen years. 2 of 15. Think about it. That's extraordinary. And long before 2012, it was the one statistic I could never really get past. Hardware matters. Mack Brown must have a national championship quality team led by a transcendent all-time quarterback and a NFL roster to win...a conference?

Bob Stoops has won the league with masking tape and saliva stuck to a Paul Thompson bobble head doll.

6-13 in his last 19 Big 12 contests. Frankly, I'd b a little miffed if Texas was 13-6. But we're 6-13. A .316 winning percentage cuts cleanly through all of the bull of non-conference scheduling and other assorted nonsense. Texas can't win a third of our conference games over nearly twenty games. That's as close to a scientific sample as we need. We have to run the table the remainder of the year to get to .500. To get to average.

[MannyIsGod]

I really wonder what pisses off Texas fan more: Watching Aggiefan and Techfan all happy and pissing all over UT or that fact that UT does kinda suck. I don't think its so much that the UT football team is overrated as right now but the fact that this is happening while A&M (Tech to a lesser degree) are considered surprisingly good.

[DrRich96]

Mack is the best salesman in the country, but a ty Xs and Os coach.

He also codddddles the out of players, asst coaches and daddehs

Oh guess it's better to lock your players in a shed instead!!!
Sorry Blake but you teed that one up for us!!

LOL all of UT fans that get spoiled over a championship every now and again. Maybe you other guys from Lubbock and Arizona and LA will get to feel that one day

...which yes, if true is better than coddling players, in my opinion.

As evidenced by the number of pussy longhorns that have been losers at the NFL level, it's clear that the coddling does no good for these kids.

LOL all of UT fans that get spoiled over a championship every now and again. Maybe you other guys from Lubbock and Arizona and LA will get to feel that one day

Probably not any time soon.

but I think it's easier to respect a program that has done more with much less than a program that underachieves year in/out.

It's also why Tech beating Aggy year in/out for the last 20+ years tasted so good.

I've experienced it with basketball but when I decided to attend UA it wasn't with the expectation of a football championship. In the extremely unlikely event I do get to experience a football championship, it'll be a with a much better coach than Mack Brownturd git.

How many doors did Mike Bibby open for you with that performance? I know Toby Bailey and Ed O'Bannon gave me an extra thing to throw on the resume with that 95 le felt good and I hope dat Bazz doesn't let me down this year like Farmar and Afflalo.

Unfortunately for you, a degree from Tech is worth the same as that shirt.

[Kermit]

no . everyone's flipping out after one game. UT has been alot worse in the past. get over it and move on, people.

One game. Try three ing seasons worth of inep ude and en lement. But how does Mack's taste?

[Kermit]

im sure firing coaches after losing one rivalry game really helps out programs, amirite?

Were you drunk when you wrote this ?

[Blake]

Probably how any other turd git's would taste, tbh.

That's a very aggy thing to say.

It's eerie how similar some of the posts are in this thread to some of the ones on Auburn forums (on both sides). Difference is Auburn fan only took two years to turn on Cheese nips while it's taken Horn fan much, much longer to turn on mack. Bottom line is that both schools have top talent that is being totally and completely wasted.

Of course, the Horns are at least compe ive (against most teams) and probably still going to a bowl, while Auburn is a bloody aborted fetus being kicked around the hospital floor by the janitorial staff


I am actively rooting for Auburn to lose the rest of its games and for people to not go to games so the university president gets the message and completely cleans house. They are that bad and don't deserve the support. I hate it for the players but those kids are, unfortunately, part of the problem, too. I've seen them give up in two games and melt away late in the 4th in two others. While I'm sympathetic that they have to play for a bible thumping, simpleton, yes-man, they could at least leave it out on the field but they don't.

I definitely understand angry horn fans point of view, and lol at the mack defenders. There are cheese dip defenders as well, using the exact same language that you re s are

Mack Brown says he has no plans to retire

by Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas—Two days after another whipping at the hands of rival Oklahoma, Texas coach Mack Brown dismissed any suggestions he may be ready to retire, saying he’s still got energy and the backing of the school and its big boosters.
Brown said Monday that several prominent boosters told him keep his head up and keep fighting after the 63-21 blowout, the third time in Brown’s tenure the Sooners have hung more than 60 points on the Longhorns.
Texas’ second consecutive loss dropped the Longhorns (4-2, 0-2 Big 12) to 17-14 overall under Brown since 2010, and raised new speculation that the 61-year-old who led Texas to the 2005 national championship may consider retiring.
Brown is under contract under 2020. At more than $5 million per year, he is one of the highest-paid coaches in the country.
"I have my energy. I’m moving forward," Brown said. "I know I’ve got time to fix it and I know I can."
Brown would not say which boosters reached out to him, but added that he heard the same positive message from many former Texas players.
"I’m way too compe ive and (have) way too much pride to leave something bad," Brown said, adding he still thinks Texas can win 10 games this season
Brown has heard rumblings about his job before but nothing truly serious. From 2000-2004, his teams lost five in a row to Oklahoma, but those teams still won at least nine games every year. Texas ended the losing streak the season the Longhorns won the national le and the dissension melted away.
The strongest speculation about his possible retirement came in 2009-2010.
Texas had a coach-in-waiting in defensive coordinator Will Muschamp in 2009, the season Texas lost in the BCS le game. Some thought had Texas won that game, Brown would retire with his second championship.
Texas fell hard to 5-7 the following season and Muschamp bolted for the head coaching job at Florida. Brown said he met with school President Bill Powers and athletic director DeLoss Dodds after that season.
"When I decided to come back, I told them it was going to take some time," Brown said. "We sat down and had hard discussions. They were 100 percent in their support. They said, ‘We want you to stay and we’ll give you the time and money to do it.’ That’s not an issue."
Brown said he doesn’t face the constant pressure coaches do at other schools.
"I’ve got great bosses. This job isn’t like the others," Brown said. "I’m the luckiest guy in the world."
Texas gave Brown his initial $5 million-per year deal in December 2009 after a 12-0 regular season but before the BCS game loss. The contract was extended it four years in January 2012 after Texas rebounded from the losing season to go 8-5 in 2011.
After Saturday’s loss to Oklahoma, when the television cameras often caught Brown looking frustrated on the sideline, the coach clearly expected his team to hear speculation about his future. He told his players he wasn’t going anywhere.
"He told us he wasn’t going to quit and didn’t want to see any quit in us, either," offensive lineman Mason Walters said.
Brown also had a message on Monday for his top assistant coaches, offensive coordinator Bryan Harsin and defensive coordinator Manny Diaz, whose unit is on pace to be statistically the worst in school history. The Longhorns surrendered nearly 700 yards against Oklahoma and have given up at least 31 points in four consecutive games.
"At this school you will be really criticized for not doing well in a ball game. You take it and man up to it it’s the reason you get paid a lot. It’s part of the deal here," Brown said. "You guys want to be head coaches, learn now, because you are going to get some questions later."
Brown got a bit of good news after the loss when quarterback David Ash was cleared to return to practice despite an injured wrist on his left, non-throwing arm.
Ash left the game in the fourth quarter after taking a hit and team doctors initially worried the arm was broken because of the severe swelling. X-rays showed no fractures and Ash was taking snaps from center on Sunday.
Ash said Monday he’ll play this week against Baylor (3-2, 0-2).
Any criticism of Brown and speculation about his job should "stop," Ash said.
"He’s a winner. He’s a compe or. He wants to stay positive," Ash said.
