MACK BROWN WANTS TO DEPART UT A WINNER RIGHT? How Does He Plan To Win Valero...

[monarch]

...are we all so very busy with the forthcoming holiday's... that we are too shallow to admit, that we are subconsciously anticipating the outcome, as per mack brown's last game at the helm of texas football...

I'M NOT! in fact, i am really looking forward to this particular game. the media over sensationalism, shall hereby be in full force. game day presentation / pageantry, shall know no end. players as well as prospective recruits, shall all want to be on hand to witness a small bit of texas sized history. in short, the "eyes of texas" shall definitely be upon the valero bowl.

THEN WHAT? just what on earth does mack brown have in store to try and win this game... against such a formidable foe such as the "oregon ducks"?

this shall indeed be mack brown's last game at texas. surely, he shall want to exit with the style, grace, and prestige benefitting his stature as one of the great coaches at texas. what gives.... anyone?

let Major open up the playbook. Get Daje, Overstreet.... etc. involved

not much. Oregon has more talent and are better coached. Only hope for Mack is more snowball fights on Oregon campus, leading to more suspensions.

I agree, but maybe...just maybe, Mack takes out all the stops and suprises us

Faith is strong with you my friend, maybe reality is not. Was this season all the stops or was it the Baylor game that would have kept his quest for 169 alive.

I don't know what the stops would be but if somehow we played an inspired game with plenty of new wrinkles. I'd be pissed wondering why he didn't do it all year.

He doesn't have a damn thing to lose now

Guys, Oregon has a real qb and some big time playmakers

If they are uninterested in the game, we have a chance, if they come to play we will likely get smoked

Correct. What I was saying is Mack doesn't have a thing to lose, now. He can pull out all stops, including playing Swoopes a good part of the game. Swoopes has just as much of a chance to win this game as Case does.

 

[Embrey]

Come out with Shipley running the triple option. Bergeron at fullback and Brown and Swoopes as halfbacks.

 

[Darrell McPhaul]

Oregon can be run on.

Perfect summary. Our only hope is how discouraged Oregon may be at playing in San Antonio. That, and we have to play a perfectly orchestrated and executed game. Crazier things have happened.

Yep. Hard to say how many Oregon fans will show up. It's a long trip for them. Many players often get some of their motivation and momentum from the noise of their fans.

Mack Brown can beg and beg and beg the players to go all out for him in his last show but given how poorly coached and ill-prepared the players are, it doesn't seem there is much hope beside a brute force, physical approach for the first half at least.

I personally ain't interested in watching Basket Case McCoy do his ugly, clumsy hand-offs and idiotic, dangerous passes. It's pure visual torture. I'd be interested in seeing what the redshirt QB can do.

Major has a playbook? Would that be the one inherited from Greg Davis?

Who has been stopping him? Unlike Sabin, Meyer, or Spurrier, Mack Brown has never had his own system of offense and defense. He hires OCs and DCs to do it. So this "open up the playbook" talk is really a joke. You said the same when Greg Davis was the OC, right?

Major has learned well from Greg Davis, unfortunately.

 

[austinite]

Oregon can be run on.

only if the OC knows how to call and players know how to execute. The one-runner show that Mack Brown and Major have been trying to pull isn't going to work.
