Difference between MB and Caroll, et al

by TXStampede on Nov 8, 2008 2:07 PM CST

Style points are absolutely critical this time of year for a team ranked as high as the horns. But I'll tell you this, I think Mack Brown has about as much class as there is available. Do you think for 1 stinkin' minute that Caroll, Stoops, Meyer, Miles, Gundy, Leach, or Saban would line up for a field goal up 42-14 on the opposing team's 3-yd line? I say no way. Those guys are all about the glory. I believe that Mack is all about respect. You might disagree but that call was all class. I'm glad my team has Mack Brown.

I agree completely...

And yet, hanging 50 on a team

Err, hit enter too soon.

Anyway, hanging 50 on a team is so rewarding after a tough loss. As a fan, I did want that last TD, but I love Mack not going for it.

Briles sorta bit the hand, but I think Mack understood BU needed that TD for recruiting.

I know several Baylor alums; they got their three victories, the expectation. Now it’s just about getting recruiting position and some amount of respect.

I don’t care that Baylor is improving. This was a mediocre game, there was no reason for us not to throw up at least 50 points in this game. You have to remember the BCS grades on strength of schedule as well as points etc. We should of been going for 7 inside the 3 we shouldn’t be putting in Chiles in the 4th qtr to be as predictable as he is and run the ball we need to start getting are younger guys ready for next year get people like collins kirkendoll williams and buckner more catches im all about blowouts I love this UT team. Hopefully next year we can pick up mcfarland or kennard doubt that will happen all the blue chips in this state are a bunch of sell outs all wanting to go to Oklahoma or LSU!

BCS implications

With a big chunk of the 4th quarter to go, Mack pulled the first-stringers on defense which resulted in Baylor’s last TD to make it 45-21. I respect Mack for not running up the score but 45-14 LOOKS better than 45-21 to the human voters. Mack has to think about these things. Thoughts?
