Baylor putting it to the Horns

MojoMan said:
The Longhorns are having a bad year, to say the least. Their QB is inconsistent, as rookies frequently are. However, given the talent level on this team, they are definitely under-performing. The penalties and the turnovers are excessive. The defense has not performed up to expectations. The running game has been a lot less than what it should be. The passing game is spotty, as you would expect with a young QB. But that does not explain the rest of it. The coaching staff and Mack Brown have to be considered largely responsible for the overall showing of this team so far.

Crazy idea. Howz about giving the opposition an ounce of credit. The loss last week was a loss. Instead of giving the other team their due you (UT) said it was an embarrassing loss. We were this and that. No credit to the better team.

GEEEEEZUS

I totally agree. It isn't like it's a question of "is it the players or the coaches?"

Mack Brown gets the best recruiting classes year in and year out. Maybe sometimes they have to settle for the 2nd ranked recruit at any given position.

This year, the players just aren't good enough to cover up the sucky coaching.

Sorry, has to be said.

I would assume the no credit thing is because they have lost four of their last five games. Being a top program you kind of expect to beat Iowa State, Baylor & UCLA. Should they give all these teams credit or should they take some responsibility and admit that they're playing poorly right now?

The team that wins is always the better team.

Baylor's a better team. So was UCLA, OU, and Iowa State. There'll probably be one or two better teams still to come...

Still doesn't mean the Longhorns aren't in a tailspin.

That's funny. How about admitting it when it's a fact. I'm not sure where you are headed here.

Tell Mack Brown. That's all I'm saying.

Then again, some people are just overcome by hate to the point of being irrational.

The Longhorns have lost to teams who were better than they were on the days that the games were played. However, the high level of talent that the Longhorns have on their team is irrefutable, at least as far as I and many other people are concerned. All of the teams that have beat the Longhorns are good teams and they should be commended for that. They won and the Longhorns lost. A sincere and humble hat tip to each of these teams who beat the Longhorns for their impressive victories.

But your acrimony towards the Texas Longhorns is well known and well documented on this board. Please spit your bile elsewhere.

I have no problem admitting Baylor was the better team tonight, but is Iowa State or UCLA? UCLA has beaten Texas, Houston & Washington State. That's it. I have no problem admitting a team is flat out better, but Texas is playing awful right now. Losing four of their last five games should tell you how awful Texas is playing. I expect the Longhorns to be better next year with a year under Gilbert and beat these type of teams.

To be honest, I'm disappointed with the way Texas has been playing, and I wasn't expecting much from them in the first place this year.

F'off. I was right there with you until you said that. Did you notice when the Bears won I said nothing? Have you noticed when I could have said things in other threads I said zero? Of course not. I simply talked about the game and your little Horn heart is sad. Save it Mojo. Yet another thing about the Horns all of us hate. Their inability to take it.

Reading comprehesion would tell you I want Mack & Co to say that they were the lesser of the two on a given day.

Your obviously hate the Texas Longhorns and that is clear for all to see. Keep it up and you will just prove it even more.

Go back and read this thread. You will see I had no real care who won until a predictable call went the Longhorns way. You will also see I prematurely said "Shame on Baylor for not overcoming" the call(s). Like Texas would ever say that. Go back and read, I displayed no hostile intent outside of rooting against the anointed Horns.

I know I'm on record as not liking the Horns, big deal, but give me a freaking break.
 
I thought Baylor looked top notch today. Congrats Bears. Now whoop every other team's ass in the Big XII too. I hope the Bears run away with the conference this year. It would be wonderfully fitting.
 
YES!!! Sic em' Bears!!! Take that Longhorns, especially Stemp! Maybe now you'll admit that Baylor isn't a fluke. Think maybe we should stay in the Big XII??? Beat you in WBB, beat you in MBB, now we've beat you in FOOTBALL!


Now that I got that off my chest...what's the latest on Aaron Williams? That was a scary play. I'm glad to see he got up. I hope he's alright.
 
Love it!!! Way to go Baylor!!!

How many wins do you need to be bowl eligible? Does a win over Florida Atlantic count towards that? 'Cause that might be the only one they get the rest of the year.:doot:
 
As a Longhorn fan I want to say congrats to Baylor.

Man, Griffin is a great player. He's VY with a brain. Wonder what his pro prospects will be?

This offseason Mack needs to make some asst. coaches heads roll. Starting with Davis and the OL coach (McWhorter SP?)

This.

edit....
Word around the campfire is that Greg Davis ain't going nowhere as long as Mack has a job....BUT...

I expect that the McCombs, the Jamails, the Moffetts, and the Hicks' of the world aren't going to put up this **** for very long. Changes are inevitable at this point.

Not true. Nebraska is a better team than the Horns, and they lost. UT just happen to make more points that given Sat. Winning does NOT make you the better team. JMO. Better teams lose all the time to subpar teams. Depends on circumstances for that particular day.

That's cool. We'll just agree to disagree.

Nebraska might have been better before that game and they might be better since that game. They had a chance to prove that they were a better team than the Longhorns and blew it.

Are they better than the Longhorns now? We'll never know.

Reminds me of when they asked Matt Leinart if the better team won when he came off the field after losing the 2005 Rose Bowl to the Horns. He said "I still think we're a better team. They just made the plays in the end."

The logic never worked for me and still doesn't.
 
By the way, am I the only one that thinks Blake Gideon may end up actually killing someone this season?

Somebody needs to teach that kid how to wrap up when he tackles.

I agree. Congrats to Baylor. Great win for them.


And for the Mack Brown (Cookies) apologists, this season has once again confirmed everything I've ever said about the guy. He's a complete joke of a HC. All he's ever been is a great recruiter. He couldn't coach through a paper bag, much less a team full of 4 and 5 star recruits. He's a grandpa coaching a ****ing football team and has never had a clue on how to light a fire under his team. The Longhorns team is a complete embarrassment this season, and Will Muschamp and their DB's coach are the only coaches that know how to coach on this staff.

I've said since Gideon's Freshman season that he's terrible athletically and physically. He's a smart player mentally on the field, but he just doesn't have it. He's sort of like a Matt Stevens actually. He's a great kid that a coach will love for his work ethic and his intelligence, but he just doesn't have it physically. He should have never been a starter.
