Man the Chuckles era, with his cryptic stooge Higdon, really was the darkest timeline for the Texas football program. Add in Steve Patterson and it was just a shittastic crap sandwich all around.

Thank god for seven-win Steve ...

Guessing aggy is throwing a ridiculous amount of $$ to keep him from us.

Four-star++ Javion Hilson (Cocoa, Fla./High)

Hilson made an OV to Michigan over the weekend, and is scheduled to be at Texas A&M Saturday-Sunday for an OV. Texas vs. Texas A&M is where the decision was expected to come from headed into the Michigan visit.

A&M doesn't need us involved to back up the Brinks truck for elite DL.

I never understood this dumbass "10 win season" measuring stick bullshit. Who gives a fuck, other than Mack, about 10 wins? That's tard-level thinking. Alamo/Holiday bowl Mack. 

Expand  

I think it was purely moving the goalposts on an outcome variable by Mack to cover his ass. It gave him some "standard of excellence" while allowing for a loss to OU and someone else on the schedule.

In reality, it just meant Texas missed the BigXII South crown and a title game appearance, and settled for the Holiday/Alamo Bowl, as you mentioned. Real neat, FUPM.

Well back before they went to 12 games seasons 10 wins was a good metric. Just like 9 wins was a good metric in the 90s. 

Expand  

10 wins is "good," but it's all relative. In five of those nine 10-win seasons, Texas didn't play for shit at the end.

When you lose to OU most years or manage to drop a game you shouldn't that puts them in to the Championship game ahead of you when you do manage to beat them, you come up with all sorts of numbers to cover your ass.

Mack used 9 wins as his goal.

God, even worse. No wonder we only have 3 conference titles from that shitty conference.

Lulz ... this pic from Myron Charles - with the emoji of the house w/ the burnt orange roof - made me chuckle.

(Reminded me of the article on Barking Carnival - something like "Malcolm Brown lives in a Burnt Orange House!" :-).)

Didn’t someone recently say that Texas was trying to get this kid to open things back up?

 

Expand  

Yea I think I remember seeing that and thinking if thats true, that kid was about to upgrade in life in a major way, all because he's good at drop kicking an inflated piece of leather.

We have 4. And it was a very good conference most of the time. 

Expand  

With the teams we had, we should have double or more than that. We by far had the best rosters, and yet Mack constantly got butt fucked by Stoops almost yearly, and add in K-State, Tech,or some other team we had superior talent to. Mack sucked as a HC, but he was a good smiley glad hand. There's a reason he was called coach February, and they weren't wrong. Very few times did we lose just 1 game. In fact, he has 3, and 1 undefeated season (remember, he was here for 15 years). Other than that, he has 2+ losses per season. We were constant holiday bowl attendees. But we did have great ST's for almost his entire tenure. 

Stoops won the conference 7 times, and Mack just 2 times. How sad is that? Stoops is 8-5 over Mack, and then went on to wreck other teams on his way to yet another CC. 

With all those NFL players we churned out during his tenure, it's pathetic he only had 2 CC's in his 15 seasons. John Mackovic has 1, Sark has the other 1.

And yet he was still a vast upgrade over Mackovic, McWilliams, and the later half of Akers.

And that's how low we had been. Just absolutely crazy to think about. 

The other guys you mentioned I'm too young to remember, but didn't Akers do pretty well until the end? I honestly don't know; I think I've seen posts about it before he was fired, but I'm not entirely sure.
