Great game. I guess this means we're about to hear a lot of apologies to Texas fans, claims that Texas should be Big 12 South co-champions, and excuses about fluke plays costing the 'Horns the game.

Mack Brown probably isn't as bad of a coach as his detractors claim, but at some point he should look like he has a clue on the sideline instead of just standing there staring blankly out onto the field. Maybe he's content to just wait for Bob Stoops to move to Gainesville after the "Gator Nation" grows weary of Ron Zook's mediocrity. But until he starts showing more intensity on the field, Brown should expect his teams to be consistently be outplayed by the Sooners, who always rise to the occasion.

Right after Stoops shows the world that he's the man with the grapefruits - no, make that cantaloupes - by going for two at the end of the first half, Mack shows himself to be the man with the BBs by taking a knee at midfield immediately afterward. Even a pass-interference penalty at that point results in a makeable FG attempt. If his QB's psyche is so fragile that one more INT will ruin him, then it's time to find a new QB. Football is not a game for passivity, and that's why Mack Brown will be waiting awhile for that elusive Sears Trophy.

Heck, right now I'd settle for mediocrity. Zook is an embarassment. I hope the Bull Gators are already getting up a collection to buy out his contract.
