Yeah they are and we shall see if they stay undefeated.
Can't we just say USC and UT are overrated and be done with it?

I disagree with the bolded statement above. Mack Brown has done an excellent job, and I can't think of another coach who could have done a better job. Those other coaches don't bring in this talent - and without this talent this isn't the same team. If you want to say there are other coaches that can do better with Mack's recruiting talent - probably so. But those guys won't get that kind of talent like Mack has done. The only problem is his leaving the playcalling duties in the hands of Greg Davis. Greg Davis is an excellent coach - QB coach. The guy worked wonders with Applewhite, and VY and is working wonders with McCoy right now. He just cannot call a game for . He should be QB coach and co-offensive coordinator, but never calling the plays. If we could have that arrangement with a true game day playcaller things would be all beautiful in Longhorn land.
They should bump GD to co-coordinator and hire someone of NFL caliber to start calling the plays, if I see greg davis call a screen pass to a WR 8 times in one game, for it to only gain us 9 YARDS once i am going to my pants.
when you made that statement, you opened this thread up to an argument. Pete Carroll brings in better talent than t.u. every year, according to the rankings, and is a great coach.
I'll readily admit Pete gets the best of California, but Mack gets the best of Texas.
and we all know Texas HS Talent > Cali HS Talent
when was the last time california talent played the entire country's talent?
...except he also cherry picks from other states:
2006=8 out of state recruits from 26
2005=5 out of state recruits from 20
2004=5 out of state recruits from 19
i agree that Texas high school football talent is better, but when you are getting the BEST from California and cherry picking other states...your the best. in 2004, 2005, & 2006 USC was rated #1 by Rivals and in 2003, 2004, & 2006 #1 by scout. nobody is saying mack does not bring in good talent, he does, its just that Carroll brings in better and is a better coach. anybody outside of Texas will admit that.
their you go again trying to win the Rose Bowl. Mack recruits the best talent bar none. USC is a close 2nd.
Exactly my point. Mack Brown is a top-notch recruiter, but that's where his (and his staff - excluding Chizik) talent ends. That's what I meant about leading this team. There are coaches out there with less talent than Texas, but do a better job with the players they have. Look at Rodriguez at WVU, for example. WVU's recruitment wasn't even in the top-20 the last few years, but look at what he's done with the people he has.
i think i'll take all the recruiting rankings over your opinion.
I wonder what would happen if these 2 teams ever played.
I mean, 1 team supposedly gets the best recruits & has the best coach so that team would win in a head-to-head game right?
^ There goes Whitely again, thinking he's posting on a usc board and wondering why we're not all lining up in agreement with him. Are you beginning to catch a clue yet, just a little one? Didn't think so.
only USC boards have logical posters? btw, you tea-sips are the only ones thinking they bring in the best recruiting every year.
^ I haven't said a damn thing about us being the best in recruiting every year, and if you look at my posts about UT I think you'll see that I'm a fairly rational UT fan. But if you're looking for everyone on this board to line up and be completely objective about usc vs. UT, you're completely insane. Just accept the fact that you're tolerated here and everything will be fine.
...............Here comes Whiteley's sarcastic response in 3...........2.........1
you're right......i would be insane to think people on this board can be objective.
1) i don't have to accept anything...and
2) if everything is not fine, i could care less
^ I think there are plenty of objective fans on this board, you can't let a few homers color your view of all the posters. So just sit back and relax some, have some herbal tea or something........
i think there are a few. Sami comes to mind and you're not too bad,as far as tea-sips go. the other teams fans like Capt. Mike, Brutalis, the Husker fans, etc. are GREAT. but many of the t.u. fans are on this board are crazy.
^ Trust me, this isn't crazy at all. Go over to Hornsfan and check those forums out for a while, there is some truly crazy going on over there. However, there are a lot of Horn fans that post here as well and you have to keep that in mind, take comments with a grain of salt (what the does that expression mean anyway? Just curious).
it means simply, there should be an amount of doubt involved. as for where it comes from...i thought it was from the basic idea that a grain of salt was very small and therefore that certain claim should not necessarily carry much weight. but on further exploration:
"The phrase comes from Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historia, regarding the discovery of a recipe for an antidote to a poison. In the antidote, one of the ingredients was a grain of salt. Threats involving the poison were thus to be taken "with a grain of salt" and therefore less seriously. In reality, salt is not an antidote to any poison."
^ Dude, you've got too much time on your hands.
i agree, but i am moving to Montana in 2 weeks and currently have no job and basically nothing to do. just partying with my friends until i leave.
What are you going to do in Montana? Definitely one state I've always wanted to visit and haven't made it yet.
i have not figured out what i am going to do yet, just a leap of faith. i'll figure it out when i get there. as for the reason i am moving...mountains, four seasons, outdoors, montana snowbowl, great people, and a small city. i grew up in San Antonio and lived in LA when i went to college; i am tired of big cities. i want to be able ride my bicycle to work and around the city without traffic and construction as well as have the outdoors at my doorstep. i am moving to Missoula, MT which is basically at the West middle border of the state. the movie a "River Runs Through It" took place there. suppose i'll need to take up fly fishing...
