I think Nebraska is probably a year away. That's what I said at the beginning of the year, too.

Amazing, perhaps our coaches/ADs were seperated at birth - UT fans have been hearing "we'll be ready next year" and "next year is the year" for about four years now ;-)

Yeah, I could be totally delusional. Lots of fans are always convinced their team is "a year away." Frank Solich reminds me of ole John Cooper at OSU - had teams with talent, couldn't win big games. Mack Brown at Texas is like that, too.

Solich has won precisely one road game against a ranked opponent in his entire tenure. That was against Notre Dame in 2000. Notre Dame was ranked #25 at the time.

Bring back Osborne! :)

Speaking of UT, I was sitting in the Texas fan section for the entire first half of the NU-UT game last year (the guy who scalped me the tickets told me I was with the Nebraska fans).

It seemed like everyone there was complaining about Mack Brown. They seemed angrier with him than Nebraska fans are with Solich - which is really saying something, believe me.

I've basically been conducting a mental "Mack Brown death watch" exercise since then. I wonder if that big loss to the Okies this year may have been his undoing. Beating Nebraska today helped him out, of course, but I could still see Texas dumping him at the end of the year.

This is just my opinion, but I don't think he's capable of winning the games the fans really want to win. There's no way Texas should have been blown out this year by Oklahoma with the talent they have.
