    Do you guys really look back on the Mack Brown era negatively?  Wow.

    I don't think we look at the MB era negatively...we look at the last 4 years of MB's tenure, and the way he left, negatively.  If he had retired after the 2009 NC game, he would still be remembered fondly around here.

    At the 2002 game, in Austin, as halftime was ending and their band was on the south end of our field, Texas kickers came out to the north side to warm up. Their fake soldiers chased our players off our field. There is a lot of pent up hostility burning in their hearts. 

    Did this actually happen?  If we allowed this, that's on us.

    You couldn't answer my question, which proves my point.

    Sure they win out they deserve to get in, but pretending like they are better than the top 4 SEC teams is pretty funny.

    Tennishit, Georgia, Bama, and LSU would all take TCU behind the wood shed. 

    You know this how?  One shred of supporting evidence would be helpful.

  4. It is pretty entertaining; however, I have to admit that the only thing keeping my attention is the knowledge that in about 3 weeks or so, there will be no more college football, and I'll be spending the next 9 and a half months wishing it was back.  Hoping that I can satiate my Longhorn sports craving with a good run by the basketball and baseball teams this year.

    Where is the Moody Center located on campus? Is there any more parking there than there was for the Erwin Center? 

    They stopped having even just the high school basketball state championships at the Erwin Center because of a lack of parking and accommodation for the teams/fans. Unless this is drastically improved there's zero chance of NCAA tourney games there. The upper level was just built for non sports events. 

    Thanks...was not aware of this.

    Announced before construction even began.

    The basketball configuration will be about 10,000 seats with the upper decks closed off for every game, creating an “intimate” atmosphere, the source said.

    “Not even for Kansas,” a second source told the Statesman.

    Typically, Texas draws about 8,000 fans for men’s games and fewer for women’s games. Only a handful of games, such as those involving the Kansas men or Baylor women, come close to reaching sellout status. Even then, it’s iffy. 

    Honest question, not trying to start an argument;  what about if Moody hosts NCAA tournament games?  Wouldn't it make sense to open it then, especially if Texas is playing elsewhere?
