Congratulations to Colt McCoy! You have created quite a legacy.
If Texas had lost, the blame would be wholly on Mack Brown and the play calling. These coaches are overpaid. Mack Brown looked "buzzed" or "stoned" on the sideline.
Why the hell would a team -- with an awesome White-dominated O-line -- not pound the damn ball more? That goes a long way towards "controlling" one's destiny in a ball game.
It's fine that Mack Brown has confidence in Colt, but more balance is a necessity. I like to watch precision run-blocking; see guys get to the second level and physically knock defenders on their asses. To me, that's football. Too much "armball" these days.
So Texas Tech loses (their Bowl) and Texas wins... Justice? TT's win over Texas was a fluke, and these bowl outcomes are another indication of that.
Texas Tech has too many sumos (White and black ones). They have a couple of leaner Whites that might start in a year or two. It's ironic that the Longhorns' are the Texas program that has had less sumos recently.
The White athletes on Texas are usually VERY good. Texas Tech needs to learn how to recruit Texas and the region. They can start by bringing in some tall & capable White receivers. The White race can create 7-0 basketball centers, 6-6 TE's, but not 6-2+ receivers? Give me a frickin' break... There's the afflete jealousy ("team chemistry") angle, but there's also the myth that blacks have superior height genetics.
White TE's will continue to display excellent body control and anticipation, and they will continue to make spectacular catches. This could only end up helping the White receiver.
Happy New Year to all CF contributors!!
