And yesterday, the Longhorns lost to iconic football power Baylor . Who??? Baylor.Texas Longhorns drop another one--this time to Big XII afterthought Iowa State. In Austin, no less.
Prior to this game, I figured Mack Brown's head was close to the chopping block. Now there is no doubt. His future is being discussed right now over bourbon and branch.
ABC chose my region to show some dull Big 10 game instead of USC/Oregon, so I only got to see score updates flashed across the ESPN creeper. It looked to me that the scoring (and lead?) was going back and forth in the first half, so I wouldn't have thought they were piling on. Again, I didn't see it.And really Oregon? 32 seconds left in the half, USC isn't even trying and you try to run the score up? Classless, in my opinion. Reminds me of Stever Spurriers days at Florida. If you're in a tight game and behind or only up a few points and want to pad for halftime, groovy. But when you're dominating an overmatched team like that?

The days of super gentlemanly conduct against your opponent unfortunately has to take somewhat of a backseat to the BCS computer rankings. Since Oregon has been ranked 1st in coaches and writers' polls, yet 11th or so in the computer calculations, the total offense and scoring is increasingly important when it comes down to picking who gets to the final two teams, particularly if they are both undefeated or one-loss teams. Since USC was a top-25 ranked team at gametime, the more convincingly the Ducks could open a can of whoop*** on them the better for computer stats. Oregon will run out of chances to up their status when their opponents are cream puffs, so they have to maximize.
Such is the world we live in.
They just keep slippin'
Good reference. As I type this, Texas is AGAIN down 24-0 at halftime to Kansas State. Was Colt McCoy really that instrumental to the Longhorns? The moneyed Texas boosters must be beside themselves. If Texas gets a bowl game, I hope they send them up to Detroit or something to play Western Michigan.time to get McCarron in the game and set McSackelroy out in the 2nd half so we don't end up like Texas or Florida next year
ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!
