Yo, Diddle!

Sorry it didn't work out the way you said it would. What happened?

I did my part to assure the Sooner victory.
No west-coast broadcast of the game...so I'm hoping for a repeat of two years ago.

I don't see a regular season game...they win the National Champsionship.

Oh well, some sacrifices must be made...

What happened? The team with the better coach won. Can't blame this on Chris Simms, with all those dropped balls only 1 interception was his fault. I think we all knew what the end would be when Mack had Simms take a knee at the end of the first half.

Here's what I said on another thread:

"Mack 'Let Down' Brown, will you ever learn anything from Bob Stoops? Bob's calculated aggressiveness at the end of the 2nd quarter is why OU won, and will continue to win championships. Hey Mack, there's more to coaching than recruiting, ever heard of mental preparation, responding to adversity instead of folding?

Can't blame this one on Simms, receivers have to hang onto the ball. Once again, Mack proves he doesn't know how to mentally prepare his team for the big game. Offense was sloppy and tentative, special teams pathetic. The defense played exceptionally well, but just ran out of gas after too many 3 and outs(in effect the OU offense had 5-6 quarters of play). It all started last year when Mack was dumb enough to allow all that Mr. Heisman BS garbage talk. Perform BEFORE you brag. And after the Big 12 Championship fiasco in the same location, where an offsides cost Texas an appearance in the national championship game, you would think at minimum Mack wouldn't let his team repeat the same mistake. But the play of the game was the UT jumping offsides on 4th down at the end of the 2nd quarter, that gave OU a first and goal.

So what happens when Texas falls behind? 3 and out ad naseum, and then folding like pup tent. Team mental weakness, and that falls squarely on the coach's shoulders. Nearly 2 decades ago a Texas coach ultimately defined himself. Texas came into the Cotton Bowl facing Georgia, and would be the undisputed nat'l champs if they simply won. The UT defense was spectacular, Georgia only crossed midfield twice, both due to Texas fumbles deep in their own territory. Yet they converted that into a 10-9 win, and Fred Akers defined himself as the Coach Who Couldn't.

Way to go Mack, at least you'll be enshrined in the Underachiever's Hall of Fame."

OBTW, there is no doubt in my mind that OU should jump Miami for #1.

Mack Brown is what happened. He's a great (though IMO underhanded) recruiter, but he can't coach his way out of a paper bag.

Nick Saban and LSU rock. Jump on the bandwagon now...we're the next dynasty. Remember where you heard it first.
