  1. It wasn't breaks. Breaks is what got us there. A shitty O-Line is what kept us from it... both years.
  2. We had Saban signed until Mack caught wind of it and axed the deal. If Mack didn't do that, there's no Strong nor Herman.
  3. 👇👇👇👇👇 ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️
  4. I mean, both statements are correct. He got lazy and hung around too long, destroying most of what he built by accident. The he deliberately went scorched earth when we cut the cancer out, making the rebuild that much longer and worse.
  5. And by omitting all the other games, you're literally proving my point for me. That's what everyone who "can't hate" Mack needs to get. It's not just the laziness that led to him leaving the program in even worse shape than he found it; it's the calculated and deliberate effort to sabotage what was left to ensure we would take a while to rebuild, from telling recruits and players to leave, to sabotaging the Saban hire, etc. I don't forget the good times, but I can't forget the bad, either. And the bad was REALLY bad.
  6. You aren't remembering those years well enough. Like what was our record vs OU during that time?
  7. You can't rebuild something you slowly tore down in the first place. I didn't hate Mack. I wanted to wish him well. But the intervening years have shown the true prophecy in the immortal words of texlarry, "I'm stunned. I'm pissed. It's Mack Brown." From his "nice guy"act being just that -- an act, to the poor decisions he made prior to the 2004 season, to the bad decisions he made after 2009... That MNC in 05 has more to do with Dick Tomey's all-too-brief influence than anything Mack did right. Remember that Mack didn't even want Vince; he had to be convinced by Brewster to do it, and after that, they had to lose a lot of games before Gerg would start calling plays that worked to his strengths. Even our OL in '05 was lightning in a bottle. We had an OL coach that could recruit but couldn't develop in Nunez, replaced by one who could develop but couldn't recruit in McWhorter; 2005 was McWhorter having had a few years training up Nunez's guys. And outside of those years, you saw Texas doing less with more at best; in the waning years, he was doing less with less. The times were MOSTLY frustrating. Even our frustrations with Sark now pale in comparison to what we had to live with back then. What y'all like is the myth of Mack Brown, colored by forgetfulness of the bad and over emphasis on the good.
  8. holy shit "If Brown really believes his purpose in life isn’t to win football games but to impart life lessons and inspire teenagers to do great things in life, there are multiple outlets for him that don’t require finishing ninth in the ACC or collecting a $5 million annual salary."
  9. Chance Mock seems very Surly. If you say his name fast it sounds like "Treason." I don't think there's a lot of future prediction value on their review of aggy's Defense. You can't expect them to make these kinds of mistakes; first, because they hadn't been making mistakes like that previously, and second, because they're going to be fired up and prepared for this game. All that said, our worst opponent has been ourselves all season, no matter the opponent. When our opponents do well, it's almost always due to our own errors, shooting ourselves in the foot.
  10. Legal Eagle did a bit
  11. You know, your post got me thinking ... why the heck haven't I put you on ignore yet?
  12. You should only rinse if you don't want arsenic poisoning. Also, US-grown rice, and white rice, have lower arsenic levels than others.
  13. i knew it was one of them stans
  14. OHHHHHHH oops. Yeah, it was OL Stan Thomas who was the big mouth. Richard had some comments too (mostly replying to Miami) but it was Thomas who really fired em up. I stand corrected
  15. DB, but yes. After the disastrous Cotton Bowl loss to them, Miami players suggested that their team MVP should be Stanley Richard for mouthing off.
  16. He's working to earn the Stanley Richard Award.
  17. if game is that close I'll probably have a heart attack
  18. like DKR used to be a Sooner they got better
  19. This isn't a story. This is a FUCKING LEGEND. hook em @immamac 🤘😁🤘
  20. Our speed on D is crazy. UK had a play that was blocked perfectly to gain 7-9 yards, but here comes a guy like a .220 Swift to tackle him for only 2. Don't remember who it was but man...
  21. They're not that good. And Tech alumni would take issue with this. Tech hates Aggy even more than we do. iq 1000 move: ewers is already injured
  22. There was a press conference?
