Mack makes it interesting/Cheap Seats ranking of Big XII

[echeese]

We'll have 2 bye weeks this year, as we said pre-season, they are timed really well.  This 1st giving TEXAS a chance to rest up before WVU, a classic trip game on the road.    Don't think it's a big deal?    Clemson damn near derailed by Mack's UNC crew.    YUGE balls on Mack, going for the win very late in the 4th.    They fell short, end of the day, another loss but a loss Mack can build on.    It's funny how many people still think Mack isn't a great coach.  . . ..as read would say. . . . . .dumbass.

What is the lesson here for TEXAS?   Simple, there is no question that even with CTH preaching 1-0 1-0. . . . our 18-22 year olds are looking at OU.     Clemson outclassed/outtalented UNC by an even larger margin than TEXAS will enjoy over WVU yet they were a 2 point conversion away from eliminating the goose egg in the loss column.  

End of the day, Mack is on a 3 game skid, 2 of the games they let slip through their hands.   Still, he has UNC playing significantly better than last year behind a freshman QB.   He's going to need to find 4 more wins to go bowling which would represent a major turn around.

Ranking the BigXII

#1  TEXAS    Beating tomato cans does not make you the best team in the conference. 

#2  OU     Will be curious on 13 Oct if OU or LSU is the best O TEXAS will face.

#3  OSU  Cowboys hang on vs a tough opponent in KSU.  

#4  Baylor blows a 20 point lead but hangs on to beat ISU.   23 and 21 points the last 2 weeks?  This isn't your Daddy's Rape U.

Pretty much the next 4 teams (5-8) can be ranked in any order

#5  TCU drums hapless Kansas

#6  KSU    Better than we thought pre-season

#7  WVU   1-0 in conference play, idle this week, how much trouble can they give the Horns at their house.

#8   ISU  As the Tuna (Bill Parcells) would say, don't eat the cheese.   ISU been eating some cheese blowing a 20 point lead.

#9  TT    Blown out by OU

#10  Kansas   When does basketball season start.

Mack should have kicked the extra point and stayed alive for OT.

Good read.

Good read.

I don't think we'll have a letdown against WV. I think everyone in that locker room saw what OU did to Tech yesterday.

I think Mack realized he simply did not have the horse to hang in OT. .  .. .I agreed with the call, he converts the 2 point conversion and is almost assured of victory with less than 90 seconds on the clock.

Clemson's been eating the cheese and it almost got them beat.   Of course better to peak late in the year than early.

I agree, I thought it was a good call by Mack.

We'll just have to disagree on this one.?
