  1. I agree that Mack left an odd legacy here. He did restore the UT program back to prominence. on the other hand, there were those embarrassing losses to OU. Real seal clubbings i you ask me. He may have won a lot of games but the lack of conference titles will always be a stain on his record. IMHO, comparing Mack to DKR is rediculous. Coach Royal won 11 SWC titles as well as 3 MNSs. He also projected confidence and absolutely hated losing. You just know any problems with Royal coached teams were going to get fixed. I never got that vibe with Mack Brown/
  2. Had Mack decided to move on after the 2010 BCS National Championship Game, he would have been hailed as the coach who saved the UT football program from mediocrity. He returned UT back to its rightful prominence in college football.. His mission was accomplished that night in Pasadena. I am sure that almost everyone on this board would have wanted a statue of him outside DKR. However, Mack made the mistake of hanging on and the program fell into disarray. His narcissistic behavior behavior would not allow him to do the right thing the program. I will always be grateful to Mack for restoring the UT progra(that was the easy part) but cannot totally forgive him for the way he left.
  3. BTW, Mack once said that beating OU was like beating your best friend. Greg Davis agreed. That sent me into a rage. He also called UT fans a bunch of wife beating alcoholics after the 2002 OU game. This occurred on the 1300 The Zone Show with Craig Way. He was never forced to apologize for it.
  4. Barry Switzer had a winning record against Texas as did Bud Wilkinson and Bob Stoops. However, Coach Royal was 12-7-1 vs OU. Coach Akers was 5-4-1. Coach McWilliams was 3-2 and Mackovic was 3-2-1. Mack was 7-9 vs OU with 4 very bad losses/
  5. Until Mack, it was fifty years when the last UT coach had a losing record against OU. He also has 3 of the top 5 losses to OU as well. Those seal clubbings were hard to take.
  6. Mizzou scores on a scoop and score on a fumble by Jackson Arnold. Tigers go up 30-23 with only 30 seconds left. Where's the Sooner Magic?
  7. Scott Drew is known as a dirty recruiter. That is why he is hated by many basketball coaches(both HS and college). My brother-in-law who was a HS basketball coach for almost 4 decades absolutely hates Scott Drew. IMHO, Scott Drew is just following in the Baylor tradition of dirty recruiting.
  8. IMHO, Tom Herman's Waterloo would have been in 2021 with a depleted roster mainly due to poor line recruiting. Kudos to Chris Del Conte for being out in front of the situatio. As a side note, could you just imagine how back the program would have been if he was retained for the 1998 season? Or how bad it would have been if Mack stayed for the 2014 season?
  9. Me too I want aggy to lose every game. Losing somehow makes them better people.
  10. I'm still checking out UNC message boards. Some Tarheel fans think that Mack will do the right thing and leave on his own volition for the good to the program. It's just crazy they still think that.
  11. IMHO, we need to frustrated OU early and often especially their Freshman QB. Let them know that they're not playing Kansas anymore, The team needs to be patent and avoid early mistakes. As Coach Akers once said "take away their heart and kill their will to win." Prediction: UT 35 OU 13 Unlike Mack Brown., I do not think that Coach Sark is worried about being taken off Barry Switzer's Christmas card list s
  12. I was listening to this game on the radio in Simkins dorm. Needless to say that the whole place erupted after this play. One of my friends actually went to that game. When he and some of his colleagues celebrated amongst themselves, some female Arkansas fan just went up to him and spat in his face. To any Longhorn fan going up there, always be careful Arkansas fans are not normal.
  13. Mack wants to justify his method of coaching and will hang on as long as possible to prove it. Once he passes Nick Saban in wins, he will step down then ask Carolina to put his name on their stadium. (BTW, Mack would have done the same thing at Texas had he passed Coach Royal in wins) Just checked out some UNC boacds and the piticforks are out for Mack.
  14. Even though I criticize Mack for many things, scheduling was not one of them. He understood the college football political pond that UT was swimming in and scheduled accordingly, There are too many lazy overpaid sportswriters in this State waiting for a reason to rank down UT. Same with college football coaches. If you think that playing a hard schedule will win their respect. Think again.
  15. I knew many of the UT players during that time, I wouldn't exactly describe such players such as Gene Chilton, John Stuart, Pau Jetton, Bryan Chester, Ty Allert and Britt Hager as soft.. Air Force did not even have 200 yards worth of offense in that game. Akers coached teams were always on the physical side, Noting less. The soft label started to come during the John Mackovic era Mackovic teams were always soft.
  16. and the boo birds are coming out in Norman Sooner fans getting impatient
  17. 2 point game right now. I wonder how long the least will be for Jackson Arnold
  18. Big XII officiating crew for the game. I would really like them to stick it to OU
  19. Sorry aggy but the BIG thinks you're weird too, Good luck in trying to convince them to take you.
  20. Kirk Bohls was hated by pretty much everyone in the UT football locker room back in 1984 and it pure hatred too. Many hated all the cheap shots he took at the program back then. Sayonara Kirk... you will not be missed by most Orangebloods.
  21. Bye bye Cougar High!! F Brett Yormark for making us play those bitches in our final year.
  22. As a fan since 1972, I never though I would make this statement in my lifetime: The Texas Rangers are World Series Champions !!!
  23. Congrats to the 2023 Texas Rangers....2023 AL Champions!! What is especially gratifying is that ii happened on the Astro grass!! To the guys and gals out there who are Astros fans, I know that you are feeling down right now. I do not wish to rub it in. After the Ranger beat the best teams in the AL then your team in the ALCS, I just hope that my hometown team has earned your respect.
  24. My thought: I would rather win ugly than lose in an embarrassing fashion. This type of game would have been a loss in the past but somehow the team managed to hang on. At least we do not have to deal with Cougar High again.
  25. They still complain about that call after all these years? Jonathan Gray was obviously down on that play. OU still complains to this day about the officiating in the 1984 game. I hope that I have supplied you guys with the ammunition to combat that one.
