  1. Our struggles against quality competition on the road, the SEC teams not looking great overall in post season so far, then the potential quick flameout against a system school. All of that makes the “favorable schedule” argument for the regular season SEC title sound more fitting to me.
  2. To get owned 0-3 by a system school on your home field?
  3. This is almost as bad, maybe even worse, than TAMU’s fate in baseball this year. At least Vandy and other SEC schools choked to provide some cover
  4. Sly move by the Aggies to announce that while all of their fans are distracted hate watching Texas
  5. Another factor when comparing success of college HCs and NFL HCs: college HCs have to literally win the commitment of their players. Pro HCs literally get lucky sometimes with guys falling into their lap, which is true for Brady and Belichick more than any player in NFL history. Even if VY was the only reason for Mack’s championship (he wasn’t), Mack still literally had to recruit and earn VY’s commitment, and deserves credit at least for that. Belichick was just the lucky schmuck who took a 6th round flier on a chubby QB from Michigan.
  6. Mack was 6-9 vs Bob Stoops. That is not as lopsided as it feels to you. That’s 2 games not going your way away from 8-7. What’s your opinion on Kirby Smart (owned by Saban) or Ryan Day (owned by Michigan), then? Dabo Swinney was getting owned by Jimbo Fisher until he wasn’t. Jim Harbaugh was getting owned by tOSU until he wasn’t. Just because a coach is not Saban-level dominant (which is video game level dominant), does not mean he’s not a good coach. Mack finished the 2 seasons prior to VY stepping foot on campus with 11 wins and in the top 10 in the country. He may have been on the verge of being fired like you say (highly doubt it). If he was, that’s not an indictment of him. That’s an indictment of out of touch fans like you.
  7. So Mack is has had 26 winning seasons to 8 .500 or below seasons without Vince. No coach’s success is more tied to one player than Belichick.
  8. As a HC, Mack Brown had 15 winning seasons to 5 losing or .500 seasons prior to VY as a full time starter, then 11 winning seasons to 3 losing or .500 seasons after VY. That is not analogous to Belichick/Brady. Brown was still a significantly above average HC without VY.
  9. The statement should read, over the course of 29 years as a HC, Belichick has had two winning seasons during which Tom Brady was not his QB. And zero division championships or playoff wins.
  10. The only thing wrong with my statement is syntax. Apologies. The point stands- without Brady, Belichick has been an average to below average head coach. Brady won without Belichick, Belichick did not win anything significant without Brady. Andy Reid is far and away the more accomplished HC in my eyes compared to Belichick.
  11. Note: as a HC, Belichick never won one playoff game or even a division championship without Brady as his starting QB. 2 winning seasons in 29 years without Brady.
  12. Difference there is that OJ is a murderer and Mack Brown is a very good man by literally every account of people who actually know him, including hundreds to thousands of players.
  13. To be honest with you, the 2014 team was not devoid of talent in the least. On offense: David Ash, Swoopes and Heard wasn’t a bad QB room before Ash’s injury. Malcolm Brown, Jonathan Gray and Joe Bergeron was one of our best RB rooms until recently (before Strong kicked JB off the team). Jaxon Shipley, John Harris and Marcus Johnson wasn’t a bad WR corps and Geoff Swaim is still a NFL TE. On defense, we had longterm NFL guys at every level: Malcom Brown, Hassan Ridgeway, Jordan Hicks, Quandre Diggs, Mykelle Thompson.
  14. I assume those of you trashing Mack Brown really enjoyed the 35 years in between the 1970 and 2005 national championships
  15. There is zero debate between tOSU and Bama
  16. What he meant to say was: ”We are going to become the preeminent 8-4 team in all of college football”
  17. I'm alright with it. Tough competition in the regular season prepares you for the postseason. Few to zero teams win national titles without being challenged during the regular season. If ND isn't adequately challenged, they will eventually flame out in the post season.
  18. I think Huff produced more/put up the better body of work while at Texas. Earl was more talented and did better in the NFL, but had a shorter and less accolade-filled career than Huff
  19. Overhype. 2005 Texas vs tOSU says hello
  20. Texas Tech will not be a truly serious “contender” to win a national title
  21. 1. Sark has already commented on the RZ TD % and toss sweep pretty extensively. 2. Every program that will be a contender this year is spending in the ballpark of Texas 3. All of the good players are likely “being tampered with”. But with the three points I listed in my original post and the fact that we can pay players with the best of them, tampering with our players seemingly has a low success rate
  22. What type of hardball questions can you ask Sark right now? He’s had the most successful combined last two seasons of any active head coach except Ryan Day, at least tied for most successful combined last two recruiting classes and most successful program in the draft with the last two years combined.
  23. Awesome stuff man. God is great, and you and your wife are clearly great parents to have raised a son like Colt. Very happy that y’all are in a better place now after the medical scares.
  24. That guy must think Texas is winning the championship next year, if that’s his first round mock. If all 4 of those guys have good enough seasons to go that high in next year’s draft, that means we won the title imo. Especially CJ Baxter.
