Texas's problem was offense it's defense, but then again who can stop Geno Smith? No one on the planet can. You know people say Luck was the best quarterback prospect in the last decade or so, but I think Geno may actually turn out even better.

Luck is the best Pro QB prospect since Elway IMO. A lot to like about Gino Smith but Luck was a better prospect IMO.

I have always been a huge Andrew Luck fan. Like you say he is a great QB, and easy to like. Plus his dad Oliver is currently WVU AD, and was our QB in the early 80's under Don Nehlen.

But it will be interesting to see how Geno does at the next level. He looks ready to me.

Jeffcoat out for the season, ruptured Pec. Ash's wrist not broken, may play against Baylor.

There are plenty of Texas athletes that look great, too bad they play for OU.

Mack is not going any where.

January 26, 2012
AUSTIN, Texas -- University of Texas regents voted unanimously Thursday to extend coach Mack Brown's contract by four years to the end of the 2020 season.

"It is important to us to have Mack Brown as our football coach as long as we can," Texas president Bill Powers said. "And this is an expression of that."

"They are weak. They are timid. And they are soft. And we have seen this movie before. It keeps happening at the University of Texas. The only constant is the head coach. If they’re content with doing this, if they’re content with allowing their arch rival to put half-a-hundred on them every-other-year, then stay with the status quo. If they’re not, then there needs to be a change… You need to teach toughness. They don’t do that. This is a soft football team. They got pushed around. They embarrassed the entire alumni base. They embarrassed every football player that has ever played over there. It was sickening to sit there and watch that. And you can come up with every excuse you want to come up with, there’s only one simple solution to this problem: there needs to be a (coaching) change.”--Brian Jones

Note to Brian Jones: "The U" just scored again!

manny diaz needs to be exiled from Austin. His defense is non-existent. They can't tackle or cover. They never know where to line up, tonight they look as lost as a kid on his first day in a new school. They also commit way too many penalties. They are the worst team in college football and getting stops on 4th down.

I absolutely hate this defense and I have less than zero trust in the unit. Diaz is a complete farce. I want Muschamp or Chisik back.

Dec. 4th they play a bunch of farmhands and will lose. Folks up here already taking that game for granted.
