    Mack's is 8 wins and a young team every year to make up for is inability to actually understand coaching.

    My guess is not giving up 600 yards and an average of more than 50 points per game.

    According to our head ball coach and to Manny Diaz, that is life in the Big 12 nowadays. Yea, tell that to Bill Snyder, Gary Patterson and Will Muschamp... freaking idiots!!

  • Where are some facts for Mack and I would love to see him explain them away

    TCU flips a recruit this yr for the first time that I can remember
    We lost a head to head battle in recruiting with Baylor
    OU is 3-0 the last 3 yrs vs Texas. Outscoring Texas 146 – 58
    Texas is 1-5 vs the state of Oklahoma. Outscoring Texas 253 -141 or 42.17 – 23.5 average score
    Texas is 1-2 vs Baylor. outscored 235 – 185
    Texas is 0-3 vs KSU.
    Over the last 3 yrs Texas has been outscored 748-683 in Big 12 play

    Actually, we are likely going to lose more than one head to head recruiting battle to Baylor. That is freaking sad.

    I like how the expectations of a MNC appearance are already being tempered, replaced with "BCS game". Mack thinks he's getting back to a BCS bowl with this schedule?

    New Mexico State - win @ BYU - toss up Ole Miss - toss up... Texas plays like donkey shit at home, Ole Miss is on the rise KSU - toss up... it's KSU BYE @ ISU (possibly Thursday) - this is a game Texas should win, but Mack will point out to the team that home dogs on Thursdays pull miracles, putting doubt in his players' minds, thus making this game a toss up OU - rape until proven otherwise BYE @ TCU - loss KU - win @ WVU - Texas will have tons more talent than WVU, but Mack will point out to the team that Morgantown is one of the toughest places in the country to play, and the team will come out intimidated, thus making this game a toss up OSU - toss up/lean loss BYE TTU - win @ BU - win

    1 OOC game I'm comfortable calling a W right now, 3 conference games. 6 toss ups. 2 guaranteed losses.

    Mack would have to win every single toss up game, which would be remarkable and simply isn't realistic.

    Too early to tell man.

    There is nothing more dangerous in this world than a man with nothing to lose.

    Worth repeating.

    Not very classy the first time, so why a repeat?

    Because mediocrity is for the Baylors and ISU's. We're Texas. We deserve better, that's why.

    To borrow a line from The Unforgiven: Deserve's got nothing to do with it.

  • Did the D give up 35 points in the second half to KState? And the D is playing better?

    That's as far as I got.....

    The D played better the last 5 games

    Nevermind that they played the 94th ranked total offense (Kansas), the 88th ranked total offense (ISU), the only coach dumb enough to throw it more than run it on Texas (Tech), the 64th ranked total offense (numbers are skewed since half the season was with Pachall... they are much worse on offense with Boykin), and ONLY gave up 35 points in the 2nd half against KSU.
