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

Rivalries matter.  Look what happened to Gene Stallings.

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.

Hey I am not demanding they do anything more than what you are saying.  Win most of your games, be in the hunt, and every once in a while maybe they get lucky and everything comes together like in 2005.

Texas is 6-13 in its last 19 conference games.  Texas has lots 9 straight against ranked opponents.  Texas continously gets destroyed by Oklahoma.  Now you can say Texas is not as sexy as Alabama or USC or Notre Dame but damn they shouldn't be scrimmage fodder for Oklahoma.  This was a game even JOhn Mackovic's teams showed up and played hard in.  Losing to OU is a big freaking deal here btw this is Texas' #1 rival we HATE OU, make no mistake and they are not just losing they are making history with the worst beat downs in the history of the rivalry.  But that is hardly the only problem.

Ok, now you're making a better case than the writer of the article, who seemed to be saying his entire career was not quite good enough for Texas.

Biggest test of the year for the Ducks tonight.

It is there first game this year in an opponent's stadium; their only other road game was a "neutral field" game against WSU in Seattle, there may have been more Oregon fans than Wazzu fans at that one.  This is also, imo, the first game where the other team has comparable* athletes on both sides of the ball.

The Ducks should still win by 2 scores, but weird things happen on the road, especially with a redshirt freshman QB, and weird things happen on Thursdays.

*Not comparable as in as good as, but comparable as belong on the same field.  All due respect to the other PAc-12 teams the Ducks have played. :)

Well that didn't take long.

Also, the LB situation is so bad at ohio state, the starting FB is playing linebacker.

Those burgers from The Chuckbox look damn good, though.  I think I can still taste mine from 1999.
