    WTF Happened To Longhorns Football?

    Any of you guys ever been to Austin? It's got to be the premier college town in America. They've got all those Friday Night Lights Texas high school kids to recruit. Why do they suck?

    It's been a lot longer than 1 year. A lot longer. Oh yeah, they lost at home to BYU 41-7. That does not make sense.

    Texas alumni and administrators have always thought they had THE premier program in the country. Every top player wanted to go there and every coach wanted to coach there. That might have been the case 40 years ago, but no more. It's questionable if UT is even the top football program in the state. The holier-than-thou attitude has been deadly. And, FWIW, Charlie Strong isn't the answer.

    texas high school football players aren't the brightest bulbs on the planet. can't understand playbooks or adapt to college coaching. better and brighter players go elsewhere.

    Actually they have a rock solid defense, that offense though is severely handicapped though. The most laughable part is that I had a handicapper call me yesterday and tell me to pound this game and take Texas and the points! WTF was this a joke or what?

    Texas has arrogant backers that do more harm to the program then good. They kept Mack Brown 2 season too long and not to mention, Sumlin has been out recruiting them badly.

    More recruiting competition is the biggest issue. Players from Texas have more options than they used to.

    Texas was also Lang's big play. The friggin' moron advised his "clients" to buy the hook from +7 to +7.5. Hah! They got the privilege of paying their bookie an extra 10%. The hook doesn't really come into play in a 38 point loss.
