2013 Red River Shootout sponsored by Mack Brown's Resignation

texas fans in a pickle. do they root to win the big XII and risk the return of mack or be content with the beat down of OU and hope for a loss to baylor or tech down the road? i'm of the impression that mack will not step down unless forced to, which would be harder to do if texas gets to a BCS bowl. and tech, baylor and OSU all look beatable.

Well if Robinson can rejuvenate this D and Applewhite can continue to call plays like he did yesterday (and not settle for the cutesy crap), I would be ok with Mack returning. One thing I would like to see Texas do, go after some OL in recruiting, more than 1 or 2 a year. I want to see them going after 3 or 4 a year. We need depth and talent on that OL. Our starters have played well recently, however, we have no depth. Let's build a wall and take advantage of these thoroughbreds we keep recruiting to tote the rock.

To be honest, I want Dodds and Barnes gone far more than Mack. I am so sick of Rick Barnes.

There was one noticeable difference in the UT defense.

They were TACKLING.

Funny how something as simple as improving tackling angles and fundamentals makes the defense look completely different.

no, no, no, NO. Barnes and Augie need to go too. Just clean house.

This doesn't take into account the opponents' season stats, strength of schedule, or rankings. This is merely a breakdown of our stats.

My personal analysis is this, our defense is absolutely better with Robinson, as opposed to Diaz.....I see it on the stat sheet and when watching the games. Week by week, our tackling is improving. Our run defense is improving. We are getting more pressure on the QB. We are forcing turnovers. Yes, we are giving up more points per game, but the quality of compe ion has definitely improved.

In the OU game, the Sooners scored 20 points, but one TD came on a pick 6. The other came on a 27 yd drive after a monster KR. Other than that, OU really only had one other legit shot at scoring a TD, but the player dropped the ball in the end zone (and he was wide open). Now, don't get me wrong, OU is not the offensive juggernaut they have been in recent years, but it was still an impressive display by the defense.

Speaking of OU, Finch needs more offensive touches, that kid can fly.

careful what you wish for.....if we win out, go to a BCS bowl and win......why should Mack leave?

I do agree Augie needs to go as well.

With a new AD, Mack is most likely gone, no matter what happens this year, and I am ok with that. However, I am saying if the Horns have a successful rest of the season, I would not be upset if he returns.....Just get rid of Dodds (already on his way out), Barnes, and Augie. Oh and get rid of Karen Aston as the Women's Basketball Coach too.

[Biggems]

Not today

Imagine if Applewhite had this moment of clarity before the season. After watching last week's film he must've thought "holy , If I just call some running plays my 5 star recruit backs will do some work!" I'm afraid of what would've happened if Ash had made it this game. No one's dumb enough to still think Case can carry the load but unfortunately they can't see that Ash isn't that much better. We would've seen the same offense we saw last week

I've met Mack, he's an incredibly nice guy, very genuine - but his time at UT is done, even if he gets them to a BCS bowl. One decent season doesn't cure the rotting foundation of the program.

[pgardn]

The d line was the best it has been all season. They stayed in their lanes and still got penetration. Q. Diggs had a very nice game. Phillips still stinks. The LB are still bad on the whole.

The schedule gets tougher. We will see. There have been very uneven efforts by this group.

Careful what I wish for? You one of these en lement pricks? Mack Brown. Yesterday, while a bright spot, doesn't change anything. He's a ing disease and the sooner his ass is vaccinated, the better.

You should be more worried about keeping Sumlin and Johnny after this season.

[Sisk]

You should be more worried about keeping Sumlin and Johnny after this season.

Johnny is going to the NFL. Period.

[pgardn]

Johnny is going to the NFL. Period.

So he won't stay another year like Andrew Luck and earn a degree in architectural engineering...
My, my...

[Sisk]

Lol academic smack.

[Vito Corleone]

The only way Johnny stays to get an architectural engineering degree is if he is planning on designing his own casino. Other than that he is leaving to the NFL ASAP, as he puts it, can't wait to GTFO of college station. Can't blame him one bit.

[Phillip]

Lol academic smack.

That fact that your re ed ass isnt getting the point only makes aggy education look even worse

Damn, you don't seem pathetic at all

[DMX7]

That game really came as no surprise to those of us who had faith in Mack Brown all along. It's a shame some people are just too quick to pass judgement after all the man has done for UT. Mack Brown is Texas Football. Forever and Always!!!

Spoken like a true nut-hugger.

Mack has done a lot for The University, just like Joe Paterno did a lot for Penn State and Bobby Bowden did a lot for FSU. All should be in past tense because all 3 coaches stayed too long at their school and it ended up damaging their legacy.

Mack needs to go, period. Thank you Mack for all you did now go and enjoy your golden years.

[FkLA]

Mack built up the UT football monster, now the monster wants to eat him. Pretty sad and really ty of the fans tbh.
