The Official Hate Mack Brown Thread

Since most of us don't want to talk about the Cal game, let's talk about how much we hate Mack Brown and Texas. I'll leave it to ch0ster.


Funny that Mack Brown would say he doesn’t believe in "style points." That’s precisely what he used against Cal’s close win against Southern Miss in ’04. Fuck that asshole.

That, adding to that awful clock management at the end, and their total inability to do anything...TCU deserves to be in the title game. I hope Alabama puts up 50 on that hypocritical motherfucker. ROLL TIDE.

The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

Reasoning

Texas was ranked inside the top three. One of the top two teams lost, so therefore Texas easily gets in if they run the table.

Plus, you could argue that Cincinnati played a tougher schedule than Texas Christian. You could also argue that Texas Christian wouldn’t have beaten Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and Nebraska.

Texas beat Oklahoma State, Texas Christian beat Brigham Young.

Texas beat Texas Tech, Texas Christian beat Clemson.

After those wins, which are pretty equal, Texas played tougher opponents.

Texas’s wins have been far less impressive than TCU. They slugged their way through Oklahoma, they played sloppily against Colorado, they had to outscore Texas A&M, they nearly brainfarted away Nebraska…their only real impressive win is going into Stillwater and smoking the Cowboys.

By contrast, TCU has wasted everyone on their slate, other than Clemson or Air Force. They might’ve played weaker teams, but they did what they were supposed to do.

Texas Christian

If they played Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Colorado, maybe they would have won by that same margin. They played teams weaker than those teams.

Also, maybe Texas would have done “what they were supposed to do” if they got to play UNLV, San Diego State and New Mexico instead of Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Colorado. Their wins may have been weaker, but their schedule was stronger.

For the first time in ages, there are no recommended fanposts on CGB. It’s time for that to change.

Texas’s schedule this year is pathetic. I would so much rather see TCU or Cincinnati in the title game. If you only manage to beat a team with 100 yards of total offense by 2, and it takes a horsecollar at the end to do it, you just might not be worthy of the title game

What makes me angry

Was Brent and Kirk saying that if Nebraska wins it will put the BCS into chaos? Really why?! It’s not like there aren’t three undefeated teams remaining! Pick two of them to play. Hell Cincinnati is a BCS team!

And now that Texas won why do they deserve to go to the NCG? Why not Cinci? Why not TCU? They’re all undefeated. They’ve all had close games. They’ve all blown other teams out. And arguably Cinci and TCU has had a better OOC schedule.

In other words, Go Bears!

on that note, i read something about the legality of reviwing time left on the clock

Here are the official rules for review.

There is a list of eligible plays that can be reviewed. The only one I found on the clock is this one:

f. Clock adjustment when a ruling on the field is reversed.

But no play was reversed on that reviewing.

Article 4. No other plays or officiating decisions are reviewable.

I know clock adjustment at the end of a half should be reviewable, but is it ? Should Texas not have been able to kick the field goal?

Since the SEC—even the SEC West—probably is stronger, top-to-bottom than the WAC, Mtn West, Big 12, and Big East, and since Alabama had the most impressive season finale, I’m fine with them getting one of the two spots. But can anyone really say that TCU, Boise, Cincy, or Texas, has had a demonstrably more impressive season than the others? They all had some close calls, and they all own some impressive wins.

Normally, I’d be inclined to put extra weight on how the teams ended the season, considering it a quasi-playoff situation. The problem is that both Cincy and Texas nearly failed their tests, while TCU and Boise really didn’t have a test.

So I say, forget the undefeated teams. Let’s take the champions of what everyone recognizes as the top two conferences this year—the Pac-10 and the SEC—and have them fight it out for the title. After all, if this was boxing, the title fight that we’d all be clamoring for would be Oregon vs. Alabama. THAT would be a great game.

Go Bears!

Texas sucks

The worst part is listening to pundits talking about how Texas is a championship team because they “found a way to win by driving down the field.” How can you say that when the only reason Texas won is because Nebraska gave them great field position with the out of bounds kick off and the horse collar penalty. McCoy sounded like an idiot after the game. “Oh yeah I knew we had 1 or 2 seconds left on the clock.” If he knew that he only had a few seconds left on the clock then why didn’t he spike the ball into the ground instead of lobying the ball in the air, hoping that the ball came down in time? McCoy didn’t look like a great QB he looked like an idiot out there last night who got lucky. I’m guessing last night’s performance will make NFL teams second guess wanting him on their roster.

Oh yeah, F-Texas. Let’s see Alabama embarrass Texas, Mack Brown cry in shame on national television and then UT falls into terrible mediocrity as a football power for the next decade.

They’re a big liberal public reasearch school. Austin is way cool. Vince Young beat the Trojans. My UT alum friends could easily have fit in at Cal (I couldn’t see any of my aTm or TTech or Cougar High friends fitting in so easily in Berkeley). I love Kevin Durant.

As a proud Texas grad, I can say this with pride...

Mack Brown can suck a donkey dick.

Texas, on the other hand, deserves to be where it is. Until TCU (and to a lesser extent, Cincinnati) plays a BCS conference level schedule, they have no right to bitch about anything. Sure, you can analyze “best” wins but go through the whole schedule. Your team doesn’t get beat up the same way when you play UNLV, New Mexico and Colorado St as compared to a Kansas, Baylor or aTm. It just doesn’t. So while the best couple of wins might be comparable, the rest of the schedule is not.

And yes, Texas’s schedule sucked balls this year. It was still tougher than TCU or Cincinnati’s.

Goin' balls deep with Cal since 1972!

by Fire Starkey on Dec 7, 2009 7:20 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

True, when you play the likes of powerhouses like Colorado, it’s much tougher than playing a Colorado St. Oh, whats that you say? Colorado lost to Colorado St? And got smoked by Toledo? True, you didn’t mention Colorado, teams like Texas A&M did manage to beat Utah St (by one score), Baylor went 4-8, and Kansas went 5-7…..

Look, I agree that going through a BCS schedule is rough. That’s why Boise St doesn’t get all that much credit despite beating as good of a team as Oregon is. I’m just not sure that what Texas played really qualifies as a BCS schedule, though. Other than a couple of games, their conference was pretty crappy this year (Sagarin has the Big 12 ranked worse than the Big East), and their OOC schedule was basically 4 joke teams they got to rest against. A team like Cinncinati, on the other hand, played in a tough conference, added Oregon St OOC, a decent Fresno St team (not sure if they would have made a bowl in a BCS conference, but they would have been close, definitely comparable to Baylor/Kansas if nothing else), and another BCS conference team (Illinois, they sucked, but still fit your “BCS” criteria). Basically, while Texas had 3 (to be fair I think you can say UCF = Fresno St) off games, Cinncinati had 2, AND played in a tougher conference.

So overall I agree with your point about BCS level schedules, but you still have to look at it on a case by case basis to see if it really matches up to the generalization of “BCS level schedule” or not, and in this case, I think there’s a strong case that Texas’ schedule really doesn’t fit this criteria – or at least, it doesn’t fit it any more than Cinncinati’s schedule does.

by Missing Barry on Dec 7, 2009 11:00 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

If you’re looking at strength of schedule though, using Sagarin, Texas was 20+ spots tougher than Cincinnati and 40 spots better than TCU.

I was using aTm, Baylor and Kansas as examples because they were among the weak Sisters in the Big XII and are a lot more fearsome than the Mountain West teams I mentioned.

The Big East was tough? Really?

by Fire Starkey on Dec 7, 2009 12:47 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

And it is a good point that Sagarin says Texas’ schedule was tougher than Cinncinati’s. Do you know of any other SoS calculations that are published? I’d be curious what other results other people came up with. As for conference strength, I didn’t say the Big East was tough – just said Sagarin had it rated better than the Big 12 as a whole (and provided a link!).

The BCS computers as a whole have Cinncinati over Texas, though they don’t break that down to give us a SoS component.

by Missing Barry on Dec 7, 2009 2:20 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Making a quick look on the internet, I’ve found several other examples of SoS ranks. CBSSports.com has Texas 30, Cinci 42 TCU 75. Another site has it 31-45-74. Yet another has it 38-69-105!

All have the same order though with varying differences between the teams.

I ended up finding the BCS formula SoS, Texas still has the advantage, but it’s only by 12 spots if I remember correctly. I don’t trust someone like CBS sports, because I suspect their rankings are based on the biased poll voting – I’d rather look at more complex attempts to do it in an unbiased way.

The UT faculty bringing their HATE for Mack Brown
University system regents last week decided Brown deserved more money, raising his annual pay from $3 million. The Longhorns will face fellow unbeaten Alabama in the Citi BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 7.

A resolution approved Monday, in an informal vote during a UT Faculty Council meeting, said the $5 million deal was “unseemly and inappropriate.” The group lacked a quorum for an official vote.
