Well, we beat CU though it was to close. I think we had a letdown because we were looking ahead to Baylor.... Yea, you have to watch out for Baylor, they almost won a Big 12 game on Saturday. Of course, when you still lose to Iowa State its not good.

Anyone else think Baylor and Iowa State should be tossed out of the Big XII in favor of bringing in TCU and Arkansas? No, it's just me? Yeah, I figured as much.

Or Texas Tech. I'm partial to putting Arkansas in the North, myself. Any way you look at it, I just think the Big XII is a better fit for Arkansas than the SEC. As for us...who knows, for all I know if TCU replaced Baylor right now, we'd end up just as bad as they are.

South: A&M OU tu OSU TT TCU
North: Mizzu NU KSU KU Arkansas CU
Problem is, TCU wouldnt do much better than Baylor, they would be the 7th best team in the conference AT BEST.

This is very true, both TCU and Baylor are private shcools so they both struggle in athletics Yes, that's always a problem. What I want to know is why we had such success back in the 30s (one outright NC, one disputed NC, several other very successful seasons). Is it because college football was just not as huge as it is now, so state schools didn't have as big an edge over the private universities? Or were we just a fluke? I think our biggest problem (other than our offensive coordinator, who has been showing his ineptitude all season) is our inability to recruit well. I blame this largely on being in such crappy conferences. The WAC and Conference USA are too far apart and simply not good enough to give us the kind of exposure we need. The Mountain West is much better, and may be the next up-and-coming conference in the college football landscape (or maybe that's just a pipe dream, whatever), but the fact remains that all of our conference road games are going to be too far away for students and most other fans to attend. Until TCU gets some sort of opportunity to get into a conference that's a good fit in terms of both quality and geography, I think we'll stay about where we are. And if we do get that chance...well, there's still no guarantee, but USC is a private school so I think we might have a shot (hell, USC was bad enough back in 1998 to lose to us in the Sun Bowl, and look at them now), but it depends largely upon money. Oh well, I'm still proud of how well the Frogs have done in recent seasons. We're the only mid-major team that's been ranked in the top 25 five out of the last seven seasons. Not too bad for a private school if you ask me. Oh, and I'm fully aware that Arkansas isn't leaving the SEC. It's still nice to dream, though, and I really do think they'd fit better in the Big XII.

Normally, I'm much more of a Texas fan than an A&M fan (although I have more friends and family at the latter school) and I really dislike Franchione (not for leaving TCU, but rather for the way he just abandoned Alabama, after convincing all those players to stick it out through the suspension), but Mack Brown has to go. Therefore, I'm rooting for Texas A&M (and Tech, and OSU, for that matter) to beat Texas. First time in my life I've been rooting AGAINST Texas. Why does Mack Brown have to go, because of Oklahoma, wake up dude Texas is head and shoulders better than they were before he got here...don't be a dumbass, Texas is alive and doing well, which is alot better than the shape that Macovik left the program in, they have had more success under Brown than any other Coach ever, OU will go down sooner or later, the problem is OU has had a better team each year they won, except maybe 2002, so what the better team did win....so be careful what you wish for...you just might get it and regret it...

I think that most everyone would agree that the that the teams have been about equal, and its just coaching that won the game. Heres a good example, the score is 7-3 late in the 4th quarter, OU punts it and a UT players downs the punt at the one yard line, bad coaching. And for those that dont know what happens next, Roy William leaps over the line, hits Chrisee Simms and the rest is history. Also, except for this year, Mack Brown has been changing his QB every other series instead of just sticking with one guy. I agree with you on one thing, Mack Brown should stay right where he is, I love seeing OU kick his ass every year.

What rock have you been dwelling under? All of Austin is screaming for Mack Brown's head on a silver platter. He cant beat OU, he cant meet expectations, he cant develop a consistant offenseive system, hes just not that great of a coach. If he was the coach of a team like A&M where its harder to get talent, he would win 2-3 games a year.

I think Utah might actually be the better of the two. NO question about it we ARE the better of the 2

Not to sound cocky or anything, but what do you guys think of Texas A&M? Everyone thought this team was 4-8 bound again, but now they are 5-1 with a great shot at being 7-1 going into their matchup with OU. texas a&m easy win for us! but then again everyone is an easy win for us.

Easy for us, yes. For everyone else especially Nebraska..no. Fla st who is ahead of us in the polls, beat UNC 38-16 UTAH beat UNC 46-16. wisconsin beat UNLV 18-3 we beat UNLV 63-28 and we took our starter out early in the 3rd quarter when it was 49-14 so we would not run up the score, we did not even score on purpose in the 4th because we already had 63 by the end of the 3rd. Unlike teams like Oklahoma who try to run up the score and leave their starters in and score with less than a minute left even though the game has already been decided. That shows lack of sportsmanship.
