    I think the problems go higher than Mack Brown. I think Karma gets hold of that institution and takes it down a peg in order to soften the enormous ego that University, as an institution, has.

    But that's just my theory. :)

    Craig James had something to say, Ft. Worth Telegram, everyone. Same things really. Terrance Newman said that all Roy runs is "6 routes."

    Did Chance Mock really say "they snuck out of here with a win". Unbelievable.

    Yes, he said it. They published that quote in the Daily Texan too - the school newspaper. He also said that he didnt believe that they were not gonna win until the game is over.... I'm dumbfounded by the whole situation. Mack Brown needs get his head out from his behind and just play Young. We could have won that game, but coach was playing ostrich and didnt play Vince. If that isnt grounds for a serious beat down, i dont know what is.
