  1. My sons were born after aggy ran to SEC, but they know all about the chant. We went out of state for Thanksgiving, but I feel a sense of guilt as a dad for not taking them Saturday to join in on POOOOOR AGGIES. I pray those of you in attendance chant it so loud and so often we all hear it on tv. Think of the children.

    Remember Mack had to be convinced to recruit Vince and couldn't be convinced to recruit Andrew Luck because of Garrett Gilbert.

    * Mack also didn’t want RGIII, offered Manziel as a DB but not QB, and chose Tyrone Swoopes (who led his 2A team to a 1-10 record) over JT Barrett. 
     

    Mack was reactionary in recruiting and game strategy, having to lose hard and see others have sustained success before adopting change. W/L record aside, the best thing he did was reset culture during his first couple years. Had he been replaced with a better X’s and O’s coach in 2003 or 2004, Texas may well have had a better record 2005 and beyond. Given the talent gap between VY and Colt, I’m often more impressed with what Colt did for 4 seasons. Once Colt was finished, so was the Mack Brown regime. But Mack didn’t want to go, so we spun around with years of switching out coordinators and watching OU dominate as we fought for bowl eligibility. When it was clear he was finally being fired, he torched the program on his way out the door. That salting of the earth erased any sense of thanks or good will I might have had for him with the passage of time.

  3. Re: 1999 Bonfire game

    - Article leaves out the aggy Patel dude who was the night manager of the Holiday Inn that “allegedly” food poisoned half our team, including Applewhite. 
    - Their band still did their regular little brother anti-UT shit, no matter how in hindsight they claim to have been considering canceling their performance and were so moved by the Longhorn Band’s performance 

    - Did Mack let them win? Hard to say because we had Greg Davis and they called a shit game. I don’t give a shit if it was freshman Simms’s first career start. We had Kwame Cavil and Montrell Flowers to throw to, and Hodges Mitchell, Victor Ike, and Chris Robertson to run. We should’ve mud holed them and instead we lulled around and kept it close until they didn’t run out of time.

    Happy now?

    No, because I know we have a hearty helping of zone-blocked, between the tackles Joe Mixon runs that aren't designed to set up other big plays on Monday Night Football. At least Dallas looks worse than Houston, but they'll settle it on the field!

    Slowik and Demeco deserve a lot of shit for losing this game. Inexcusable to lose a game when you force 5 turnovers

    That was a Houston Oilers playoff performance loss right there. 5 ints and still take the L

    10 points off 5 turnovers is pretty bad

    It takes a special kind of incompetence to get 5 turnovers and only score 23 points. At home.

    Everybody is harping on the 5 INTs, more so that choking a 23-7 halftime lead at home. Y'all know damn well one of those INTs was on the hail mary at halftime. Yelling about 5 INTs makes it sound more embarrassing but is disingenuous.

    Missing key players on both sides of the ball. Defense played pretty good (would've been nice for Stingley to bring in that INT). Slowik's play calling has mostly sucked this year. There is no creativity in the running game of counter movement by runners or blockers, and when they keep running shit plays you want to believe he's setting the opponent up to drop a variant for a big play. Nope, you just get more of the shit calls. CJ needs to check to second and third reads quicker. He stays on primary and misses with #2 pops open sometimes, and he's taking too many sacks.

  6. NFL fans bitch about the Chiefs getting calls, just like they used to say the NFL cheated and gave New England calls. I never thought it was true or that one call here or there would make a difference, but I’m reconsidering my position. I like the Chiefs, but there has been something horseshit in their favor in nearly every game this season. This week it was a pointless replay review for like 5 minutes that took Tampa’s O out of rhythm and gave KC’s defense a breather; then a clear false start on KC RT on penultimate play of OT. Why does the NFL need KC to win every week? They are going to be a high seed in the playoffs regardless. 

  7. If a player thinks they deserve to be a first round pick, they should ball out in college football regardless of talent around them. They may lose to better teams with more talent, but they can go down firing and unbiased fans can admire the talent. If Quinn needs a clean pocket every play to have confidence or complete intermediate to deep passes, I don’t get it. The comp to Tom Brady is dead on though. That dude sucked!

    USC spelled it out.   Get on them early.    Weather the storm.   Them grind them late.   Texas will have to be able to run the ball.  Stop the run.   And pick up the blitz and get rid of the ball quickly.  We saw what speed in space did to their defense.   

    This is trouble for us since it takes Quinn 3 possessions to start zeroing in on his lateral screen and swing passes.
