Default Re: Is there a worse 3-0 team in America than Texas?

Mack Brown is now known as a great coach with the national championship, but still does things that make no sense. When Texas scored with 4 mins left to go up by 11, Texas went for two. WTF?? Kick the XP and you're up 12, i.e., it takes two TDs to beat you. Go for 2 and make it and you're up 13, i.e., it takes two TDs to beat you. Go for 2 and fail and you're up 11, i.e., now a TD + 2 + FG ties the game.

Unbelieveable.

Mack was flashing back to his UNC days.

Yah the nat'l title currently carries a lot of weight because it's recent. I think it's only a matter of time before he's Lloyd Carr II though.

Cardo,

Good news for Texas:

- They will get some of their suspended players back soon.

Bad news for Texas:

- They play OU in a couple weeks.


To be honest I don't think Mack Brown is a great coach, I think he is a great recruiter and there is a big difference between the two. He also happens to be a good guy so it is hard to not like him but when it comes down to running the game he isn't in the top tier of college football.

I think their offense will be fine actually and I think their defense could be what gets exploited when they play OU and maybe even Nebraska.

isn't recruiting part of being a coach?

over the last decade Michigan and Texas are #1 and 2 in average end-of-season poll rankings. It's possible Carr and Brown had something to do with that.

Do you have a link for that? I'm at least a little skeptical that Texas is #2 over the last decade...not saying you're wrong, but I certainly wouldn't have guessed they were that high.
