As we watched that trash last night, we tried to identify the most disappointing season in Texas history. If this team continues on like it’s going, this could be it:

1. Preseason #1 ranking blown

2. Epic QB recruit complete failure

3. Wasting one of the best Texas defenses in a very long time. 
4. Wasting it in a year with no dominant team.

5. Doing this all while a fat oaf an hour and a half away is undefeated with a team with far less talent. 

In many of the other disappointing years Texas at least accomplished something before blowing it. What other years were worse?

First off, I think we got $995ed, both with Arch and whistling past the graveyard on all the talent we lost from OL and WR corps.  Second, this defense is not as good as last year's or the year before that.  Third, "dominant."

As to the third point, I think NIL is creating some kind of bizarre parity.

But yeah, this sucks.

I don’t know man this defense is pretty damn good considering they are on the field all the time because of the shitty offense. If we could average a shitty 24-27ppg consistently they would be even better than they are.

Whether last years or this years is better is really not the important point. What’s important is that Texas is wasting an extremely good defense.

This season shows Texas has too many “insiders” who feed everyone what they want to hear so they maintain access to the program.

 

i mean this has been going on since Mack but still…

They're good yeah.  Seems like maybe took a step back on the DL, maybe a bit improved in the secondary.

That’s exactly what we said last night. The LB’s have improved too.

Pre- and post-VY Mack did a great job of wasting elite talent on both sides of the ball.

2010 has to be up there. We were #5 in the preseason, had a 5-star QB replacing a 3-year starter, also had a great defense, and went 5-7.  I suppose that record is still on the table for this team but I think we scratch out at least 2 more wins.

Next week on the road will I thought show us a lot but it won’t. This is who we are and while we might win like the ou game or even last night it won’t change that we suck huge cock on offense and can’t be consistent even in a full game much less multiple games strung together.

Mack won a whole lot of games. But we also suffered some devastating losses with teams swimming in NFL talent. OU, Tech, Bama and even Colorado all took their turns beating us when we had the players to prevent it. I call that disappointment, in several cases much worse than this year's.

This was my initial thought as well, and I actually had this conversation with a friend.  

If I had to guess at this point, I'd say we're going to lose to Georgia and split with Vandy and aggy.  That would leave us 8-4 and headed to a bowl game instead of the playoff.  While that is a huge letdown after starting the season #1, it's not 5-7, and we're not in that old era of multi-year rebuilds.  We should have no problem coming into next year with a greatly improved O line and a more mature WR room and starting QB. 

So, I don't think there's any way that this season is as bad as 2010.  That was the beginning of a dozen years of being a national punchline, with a coach who no longer gave a shit.  Now, we should be right back to being a playoff contender next season.

Oh, I think Mack gave a shit, alright.  He gave a shit about Mack.  But not much else.
