    This is shameful. The most lucrative sports program in the country is being embarrassed week-in and week-out. As an alumnus, I'm at a loss.

    How will Old Man Mack justify this one? How will he explain the missed tackles and awful play calling? I guess Major will be fired as a scapegoat shortly.

    Imagine how badly Oklahoma is going to roll over this team.

    Hloy sh-t! 800 rushing yards in seven days! Fire the entire staff tonight and let the GA and trainers run the thing, I mean it can't be any worse.

    OT (maybe a good diversion): Several entire commercial breaks tonight on the LHN have had no paid advertising. It's commercials for other UT shows on the network. Is this because paid advertising is hard for them to get?

    Even for UT alums that are sports fans, this channel seems like overkill in the extreme. It's no wonder most cable companies aren't willing to pay much. The demand has to be close to nothing.

    Great halftime adjustments. Just a pathetic performance besides 2nd quarter.

    To all of the people who said Mack should NOT have been fired 1-2 years ago: eat crow.

    Five star athletes
    Top ten recruiting classes yr in and yr out
    Keep hearing about UT being able to outbid for any coach they want (head coach and assistants) because NOBODY can compete with UT $$$
    The best facilities money can buy
    Austin
    Longhorn network
    Huge payout from ESPN

    And yet they SUCK ass!!
    They don't want to play A&M?
    Thank god because A&M would DESTROY UT.

    UT Alums-

    When will Mack be fired? Serious question.. If they lose a few more games, I think they need to make a statement and fire him before the season. Any team that can run will run all over UT.

    They can't fire Mack because of that stupid Longhorn Network where Mack has a contract with them to keep doing his tv show, or something.

    I think the concensus is that Deloss Dodds steps down in December, and the new AD will bring in new coaches in football, basketball, and baseball, barring miracle seasons in any of those sports.

    I didn't watch cz I don't have LHN but as a texas fan in happy they lost so it puts more pressure on mack to be fired or leave.
