I look forward to 2014. This year has been a disappointment and there isn't much we can do about it. But, next year lets come out and support the 2014 team with A TEXAS FIGHT as always!!! Support the players and NEW Coach!!!

...patience is indeed a virtue. a "toast" to the future!...

Looking forward to change. Also, Let's go ahead and end 2013 with an upset win over Oregon for the players on this team who could have gone elsewhere, but chose to come be Longhorns and fight their tails off for four years.

Good read brotha.

"I just wonder….. when it gets heated, will the staff follow the old man’s orders over the edge or take matters into their own hands?"

Excellent question/point. That could be interesting.

Have to wonder where McCoy's head is for this game.

I mean- Jamail throws him under the bus in the media. Mack doesn't comment and now we hear Swoopes is getting most of the first team reps.

Does Case (and the team) come out with a chip on the shoulder to prove something, or has the recent media circus deflated motivation? Including coaches…..like Applewhite.

Especially on offense, just not sure what to expect Monday night.

Great stuff!

Why are you thinking Diggs will leave early? I'm not sure he'll even be drafted due to measurables.

Honeybadger was, he will be too, probably a 3rd - 4th round guy. I don't think he has much to gain by coming back, and he's always been a guy who struck me as wanting it his way or no way. May not want to play without Akina.

Definitely a sales job for the next staff.

I am confused about your statement.."Joe Jamail threw MB undr tie bus" yet goes with him to each meeting with Patterson and powers,,,I don't see anywhere where Joe Jamail has thrown MB under the bus. He has been a MB supporter.

I think this team is everything but focused. I think they're ready for season to end and ready for this circus to be over. Hard to imagine Case will be motivated to play after Mack's cronies threw him under the bus. For Mack to be "all about the kids," it's really unfathomable to think Mack didn't defend Case. Once the Duck offense gets on a roll, I think we get curb stomped.

Plus Case is just not very good.

I to think a Duck roll ends this pretty early. My gosh, they have a running QB.

All talk from Texas. Bowl games are won by the team that wants to be there and by preparation.

Remember the 2010 agile game? Only Applewhite was doing any coaching (where was Mack?)

This staff is not very good to begin with.

You may have misunderstood. I'm referring to JJ throwing McCoy under there and Mack remaining silent

 

[orangeflow]

Sorry you are right,,misunderstood ,,,Case for what it is worth came through in the Oklahoma game and play up to his ability which is limited. I see what you mean........It is like Case has dropped off the planet with little word from anyone.
