NCAA Football '12-13

[Valmy]

Remind me never to put up any money based on your prognostications.

That is why they play the games my friend.  And remind me when I announced I was some sort of expert.

But the actual experts said TCU would be fine so long as they did not struggle with depth.  Well they lost 21 scholarship players, most of which were on their two-deep and they had struggled the past two weeks.  But I guess that shows what I know eh?

That Stanford loss to ND really makes me mad, I thought they were gonna win that.  It would have been a great feather in the cap for the Pac-12 and a lovely kick in the balls to the horrid B1G.

Holy fuck, shaggy bevo is hilarious this morning.

Yeah at least I will be entertained by the fanbase turning on Mack this second half of the season.

Not that Mack doesn't deserve it a bit, but considering what he has done for this University it will be sorta sad.  Still what would they do in Columbus if Ohio State got destroyed by mediocre Michigan teams in back to back years?

Like the B1G needs more.

The media will keep propping them up and making them out to be relevant until they finally get a stake in the heart, I was hoping the 4th best Pac-12 team could do that.

Ask John Cooper. 2-10-1 against Michigan. Those mid 90's teams were great except for that game.

Yeah but Cooper never lost to Michigan 63-21 and 55-17 in back to back years.  And the Texas fanbase lives for the OU game.

ND isn't in the B1G. What would it have to do with them?

[Ed Anger]

Texas needs to calm the fuck down.

Most of their 'big" wins have been against B1G teams: Michigan, MSU, Purdue.  If those losses were to a Top 5 team they are excusable.  If they are to an overrated team that lost to the 4th best Pac-12 team they look pretty bad.

Texas needs to calm the fuck down.

This is all part of the cathartic healing process

[Ed Anger]

I'll console the ut hotties while the men folk despair of the future.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Whoa.  Apparently Ash's wrist was not broken. 

ChuckCarltonDMN: Texas also says QB David Ash did not sustain fracture to left wrist, based on initial X-rays. Will be evaluated and could play vs. Baylor.

I'm surprised with how quickly it swelled up and all that.

However:

ChuckCarltonDMN: Huge hit for Texas. Junior DE Jackson Jeffcoat suffered right pectoral muscle rupture vs. OU, will undergo surgery and is out for the season

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

A "ruptured" pec sounds like it would really hurt, btw.

[Valmy]

Whoa.  Apparently Ash's wrist was not broken.

Well that is good.  I still have a hard time really buying he is going to play vs. Baylor though.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

A "ruptured" pec sounds like it would really hurt, btw.

He had the same injury last year just with the other pec.  Brutal because next weeks game was one Texas really needed him for.

This article hits right on the head where I am right now: http://www.barkingcarnival.com/2012/10/15/3504670/when-you-write-a-piece-like-this-Mack-Brown-resignation-fire-Texas-football

What do you think?

[Eddie Teach]

So he needs to go because he loses to OU too much?

I don't buy the arguments that Texas should naturally be an elite team even better than its been under Brown. Sure, Texas produces a lot of football talent. It also has a lot of schools. UT-Austin's claim on the rest of them is based on its better academics. That's not a huge selling point to most football stars. Nationally, Texas doesn't have the location advantage of a Miami or USC and it doesn't have the storied history of a Notre Dame or Alabama. Add it all up, and you have a school that should win most of its games and be in the hunt for the Big 12 title most years. Which it has.
