Beat the Beavers

I'll settle for the same results as the 2007 game vs ASU.

After another loss Mack will say " We fought our guts out".

I am shocked that there wasn't a headline that read "RECRUITS BAIL ON TEXAS AFTER LOSS".
None of these kids are coming to play in Austin and be a Longhorn so they can say they played for Mack Brown! They're coming here to be a Texas Longhorn, because in Texas, that has always been the crowning accomplishment of a great high school career....a football scholarship to the University of Texas. Every other school was a "second choice". With what has happened over the last three years under Mack Brown, that is changing quickly. The Longhorn "Brand" does not stand for what it used to stand for in the past. If this mediocrity is allowed to continue, we will soon see schools like Texas A&M, TCU, Oklahoma St. and Baylor become as competitive in the recruiting game as Oklahoma is with the Longhorns. That is a serious problem that will show up on the score board in the next 3-5 years. What great recruit would want to come to Texas and play for a 6-6, 7-5, 8-4 Longhorn team topped off with an Alamo Bowl appearance? Give me a break! If the Red McCombs and the rest of the "money guys" can't see this now, they are going to see their investment in the Longhorn program pay very little dividends.....good, maybe that's what will get their attention! It's great that Mack is a "good guy" and they can pick him up in their Lear jets and go play golf at Augusta, fly back in to Austin have slap each other on back over ribs and brisket and toss back a few Jack and cokes and spew BS to each other about how good the program is progressing. Meanwhile, we've lost 4 conference games for 3 years straight, which hasn't happened since the 1930s and we're going to San Antonio for a piss poor bowl game......AGAIN!
Yeah, Mack, I'm sure the guys are just overwhelmed!!! Guess who isn't? The fans and future recruits!

Oregon State Beavers. Scares you to death.

Repeatedly

Now I have to change shirts after spewing coffee all over the one I have on.

Yes, I didn't do the math right. That's my fault. It still doesn't change the fact that being 21-16 over the last three combined seasons isn't where Texas should be.

Man come on, I like Mack as much as anyone. But time has come and he no longer has " it ". We need aggresive butt chewing head coach, not a polition who has said many many times. " i just did not have the kids ready" .

(Mack voice)Mike Riley has been a coach in the NFL and has done a good job at Oregon State. His passing offense is 14th in the country and their running game is better than what the stats show. So it s!cares ya to death that the light will come on for their rushing offense.(Mack voice)

Some of us (apparently a minority around here) will never waver in our support for the Horns. It is not only about wins and losses. Mack Brown has more than earned the right to decide on his own when it's time for him to move on down the road. It's not just about the last three years. Look at the big picture, instead of just a snap shot. Many here are spoiled, and the number one reason for that is Mack Brown.
