Youth?

I talk negatively to three groups of people: 1.) Aggy 2.) Land Thieves 3.) fair weather Texas fans... Since you are one of those, I will accept your advice and kindly tell you to go take a flying f--- at a rolling donut.

By the way - to answer your question... No! The 5th place SEC team and gangster wanna be are not in my head at all. If you don't like having your mugshot posted on the internet, then don't get into racially charged fights and provide a fake ID to the cops. How stupid does on have to be to give a fake ID to a cop? Especially somebody that has been arrested already... multiple times.

Aggy - gotta love the sheep f------!

Me too!

I'm curious how much of that is Mack and how much of it might be at the LHN direction in order to keep up their exclusivity. Of course, that isn't to say that it also couldn't be cover from a beleagured program to blame LHN.....

Wow, man, it's obvious you are not capable of rational and reasoned discussion concerning any deficiencies in Belmont or with Mack Brown. Moreover, your attacks and pathetic attempts to undermine A&M's solid season and Manziel's Heisman look weak, petty, and childish.

I apologize - EVERY team in the nation has it's own deficiencies. Not just Belmont FYI.

I read this entire post (COMING FROM AN AGGY) on a UT board as an attempt to undermine the UT establishment. And, that, I take offense to. I can tell that you are one of those fair weather fans that I mentioned above, so in that case I really don't care to hear you focus on all of the negatives and completely ignore the positive attributes of the program.

By the way - would you be more comfortable with Belmont if we had ended 5th in the conference instead of 3rd? Feel free to carry Aggy on your shoulders for their 5th place finish this year. And continue your negative feelings about YOUR own program because they aren't doing what you want them to do... and you say that I am "incapable of rational and reasoned discussions"

That's rich right there my man - keep carrying the torch and cutting down the very program that you are trying to support. Genius philosophy

Chupita = Bill Little

Isn't Mack paid $5 mil to neutralize "negative energy" coming from the fans and media by communicating with his players?

I suppose it's the fans and media's fault for getting blasted by OU, needing a last second TD to beat KU, and the dumpster fires that were TCU and K-State.

Reading what you said, the media and fans should just shut their mouths and believe everything the Bellmont Information Ministry publishes.

In other words, mediocrity is just like the weather. If it's inevitable, just relax and enjoy it.

I don't know who it will be, but my guess is that the QBs in the Big 12 aren't going to just drop off the map. They haven't in the past five years and I don't expect them to next year, either.

That makes Mack different from how many other coaches? Stoops? Saban?

I get that the pitchforks are out. That doesn't mean, however, that Mack's behavior is all that different from other coaches, some of whome we'd love to have. The difference is that everything now is being spun negatively.

BTW- I'm guessing next year IS Mack's last, regardless of how things turn out in SA. I'll leave the determination of whether or not he deserves a swan song up to another thread.

Yea, Baylor "plugged" a QB in this year and lost 5 games after losing their senior led QB... that was even after replacing him with another senior that had started before.

Oklahoma State went from 12-1 to 7-5 after losing their veteran QB... they are young, and I expect them to be fine. Still a question mark on who will be attrition over the spring.

Landry Jones went 8-5 in his first year as a starter / 2nd in the system and finished 4th in the conference.

Tech went 11-2 in 08 and then lost Harrel to go 9-4 the next season...

TCU went from 13-0 to 11-2 in a week conference after losing Dalton to graduation...

I'm sure some will be "good", but they will also lose games due to their inexperience is the point.

If by fair weather fan, you mean someone who donates 8k a year to the LHF, then yes that's me.

Look, my point is that there is nothing wrong with a reasoned discussion regarding some of the obvious deficiencies within the program. You do not have to be irrationally deferential to authority, in this case Mack Brown/Belmont, to be a good fan, citizen, employee, etc. We should always be looking for ways to evolve and strive to be better at every turn. You can choose to put your head in the sand, while reality passes you by, but I think any objective bystander can see that A&M had a solid season in what is perceived by almost everyone as the most difficult conference, while Texas is viewed as a program that is spinning its wheels right now. Personally, I do not think the state of the program is as bad as some claim, nor as rosy as you claim, but I see nothing wrong with constructive criticism in order to try and take this program back to the top where it belongs on a consistent basis.
