Save your little slick comments. Mack Brown is having his third straight mediocre season. Texas is the same team as last year but the problems has switched from offense in 2011 to defense in 2012, though I think the offense is a bit of a fraud. Texas has given up 200 yards to five of their opponents this year. They tackle poorly and they miss assignments. Statistically, texas is maybe having rheir worse defense since the gary darnell days. 90% of Texas fans that follow this program could care less that they are 6-2 right now. They can't beat ranked teams, can't beat their hated rivals, can't contend for conference titles, and can't contend for national titles.
Yeah, I know they have problems and I did mention that they have not been good for 2 1/2 years now. I even said they basically suck for a 6-2 team.
We agree on the team right now.
None of that was the point. The point was that they have been pretty elite for about 12-15 years now since Brown has been there. In fact the entiore athletic program has gone to another level in this time in many ways.
My issue is the whiny, what-have-you-done-for-me-lately attitude that ignores the very recent past.
It's no wonder so so many fans from other schools call UT fans the "whiny orange" fans. And I'm a UT fan.
They hit a rough stretch and everyone wants Brown's head.
Classic.
They JUST played in a National Title game in Jan 2010! We're not talking 1999, but 2010 (2009 season). And won one in 2005.
Hey, it's everyone's right to an opinion. If you want the guy gone, I'd say he's left the entire athletic program (and yes, football funds just about everything) in pretty good shape for the next guy.
They still seem to be recruiting pretty well too. I would not be surprised that in the next 2-4 years they are once again in the national title race.
