Predict Mack Brown's signing day presser

  • We had to withstand their surge.

    What could Mack say that would be approved of?

    "I quit"

    Heisenberg

  • "I want to apologize to all Texas fans."

    "We are very excited about these young men that wanted to be Longhorns!!!"

    "Darrell Royal once told me......."

    I'm a third generation alum who's family has held season tickets since the 60s.


    I apologize for the 20-something remark.

    We agree more than we disagree. You have conceded that Mack rebuilt our brand, which I strongly believe. Maybe I overestimate this, but it was something that was badly needed, and a sweet refreshing breeze came blowing thru Longhorn Country once Mack turned it around.

    But I agree, when you draw the big bucks then you best be getting the job done. $5.3M is not a forgiving salary.

    "We want kids who want to be at Texas."

    ......And we targeted 15 kids and 15 said yes!

    Do you mean the 6 Mackovic years where we won three conference championships?

    Please tell me you fellas aren't counting the pathetic 3-way tie as a conference championship. The one where aggy was obviously the best but ineligible.

    I enjoyed the last SWC championship, and the first Big XII championship, although the former was unattractive and the latter was a fluke. How many top 10 finishes under Mackovic? How many 10 win seasons?

    I enjoyed 37-27 as much as the next guy. Still got the t-shirt. But Mackovic never belonged here.

    Yes I count it..............question would Mack Brown count it? In addition that team you are making fun of beat Coach Brown's #12 ranked team (UNC) in the Sun Bowl. I think Mackovic didn't have a great personality but he left Mack Brown a very good team in addition to turning the program around. The coach most Texas fans should really dislike (as a coach) is David McWilliams.............he set the program back a decade. Check the roster.......especially the Heisman winner and the OL and DL.
