I hate to say it, but my fellow TEXAS fans / alumni, etc had best get liquored up Friday night and just keep on drinking right on thru game time the following morning. This one (as others during the Brown - Stoops era) could be over early and be ugly as we've ever witnessed (and we've seen some total ass kickings this past decade at the hands of the Sooners, have we not?)
The talent (or lack thereof) on the defensive side of the ball for Texas is appalling. These kids just do not have the ability / skills to play Big Boy Football. If Texas had to got thru an SEC schedule (and that conference is down this year), they'd be as bad as Vandy....if not worse. Even with their own Big 12 sched remaining, UT might lose 6 of the final 7 (surely they can beat Kansas....right?)
Make no mistake about it, the Horns will get crushed this Sat (again) by the Sooners.....and the Dec 7th game in Waco, no doubt, will be Mack's last as head coach. After that game, the yet-to-be-announced UT athletic director might want to get to to know Art Briles really well.....he'd look pretty good in burnt orange next year, wouldn't he?
Thanks for the National Championship, Mack. It was great fun playing in Pasadena back-to-back bowls several years ago.....but that was then and this is now and now isn't looking too rosey, is it?
Between Texas and OU, I am a Texas fan, but I will say that this red river rivalry is no rivalry at all, it is kinda one sided since Oklahoma has dominated Texas recently.
