He's gone at the end of the season, Muschamp should have stayed. His ass will be fired at Florida in a couple of years. Alot easier to win in the Big 12.
Uh no Bob Stoops>Mack Brown.

and that's why Texas has 3 conference championships in 16 years of Big XII play?

I think Oregon has better talent than Oklahoma

UCLA is in 2nd place in the South. They have ASU at home

no they don't. they'd get killed at the line of scrimmage. plus oregon's defense is not great. CU will move the ball on them.

Uh, yeah, Landry Jones >> Ash.
Thats why Auburn beat Oregon and why LSU kicked their ass as well. They whipped them up front on both sides of the ball. It's not an athletic or speed issue in Oregon's case anyway.
Texas fans are plenty restless. They expect to win every game. Their roster probably has more 4 & 5 star players than the Big East combined. It's not just losses, there is disfunction as well. Not as much as last year, but most UT fans see Brown like FSU fans saw BBowden his last years there. "umm thanks, but isn't it time you retire."

dont want to burst your bubble too bad Jimmybuff.... OU's roster has 52 freshman & sophomore... Texas 56 freshman and sophomores... I wouldnt venture to say Texas is too much younger than OU.... and if you look closely.... OU is not top heavy with seniors on offense or defense...
So you really think Texas has more talent than OU or OSU? Yes Stoops may be a better coach than Mack (scratch that IS a better coach), but the fact remains that both Okie schools have more talent... they just do, you could swap coaches and the fact would remain. Texas has A LOT of talent and no one is arguing that, Texas is underachieving and no one is arguing that, but they don't have more talent than the Okie schools at this moment... check back next year.
OU has better players right now, especially in the secondary, QB, and O-line. Texas has good skill players, but is lacking in the 3 crucial areas I just mentioned.
Texas is a hotbed of recruiting. With A&M going to the SEC, will UT and OU be able to continue cherry picking the talent, or are they going to be in for the fight of their lives? Discuss.
Texas consistently gets higher rated talent out of HS then does nothing with it. Stoops (and Gundy for that matter) do a much better job of recruiting talent that will work for them then developing and using that talent to win.
Mack wins the February championship every year but is lacking in the wins that matter.

The problem with measuring this season is the Big 12 sucks. It's OU with a clear lead and OSU established at #2. No one else is close. Plenty of good, bowl-worthy teams but none else worthy of challenging for a conference title. It's a good thing there is no championship game this year because the North representative would get waxed. Texas could just as easily be the third best conference team right now as they could be the 7th. Kansas State, A&M, Baylor and Tech could beat them this year. OR Texas could win those games.
This is tough to judge because with the right breaks the rest of the year the Longhorns could finish 10-2. Suddenly they're in the Alamo Bowl and every one of their own fans making noise about how they suck for having consecutive losses and "FIREMACKBROWN" will start jawing about how next year they will be UNSTOPPABLE. It'll be like another 2007 year when the Big 12 was overly top-heavy and Texas' record looked better than what they actually were, which was a team with great February rankings who was young, took some bumps and overachieved against equally mediocre competition. Beat an overrated Arizona State team which was the first and best Erickson team there and thanks to Oklahoma choking and A&M having a new coach and sucking was an interception-drop in Lubbock away from going undefeated and playing in the Big 12 title game against a Mizzou team they already destroyed once for a chance to face Tebus Christ Almighty in the BCS title.
So how do we look at this year for UT? Don't. Their fans are already looking forward, saying "in a year or two we'll be unstoppable." Paper champions to be sure. But in 2011 they have Kansas State, Baylor and A&M and if those teams don't step on their own dicks the Texas secondary alone should lose one of those games, couple that with offensive futility like calling too many pass plays when you're much better at running the rock and they should lose at least two. 7-5 or 8-4 for them which is right where they should be. Mack only retires if they find a way to lose to Kansas plus A&M, or if they get blown out by the Aggies. He is not aggressive as a gameday coach and his lack of clock management when they were mathematically still in the OSU game shows he doesn't care anymore. The fire is gone and he works better as an ambassador to the program. Athletic Director or high-ranking figurehead would work better. Then what they should do is do a national search for his successor, though they'll probably play it conservative and go with Jerry Gray or Applewhite.
What I'm trying to say, is, f*ck them.

I think that conference affiliation has very little to do with recruiting if you are in one of the main conferences. A&M joining the SEC doesn't open Texas up to other SEC schools, it has always been open. CU going to the PAC doesn't open California up to Colorado, it has always been open.
It doesn't open up the states but it makes it a little easier. A lot of kids want to get out of state but also don't want to leave their families completely behind. Colorado joining the PAC will allow the recruiting coaches to promise kids a certain number of trips back to Cali where the kids family and friends can come see them play. It isn't going to be the only factor or the deciding factor but it makes it a little easier for the coaches to get listened to.
The SEC schools have traditionally gotten a lot of talent out of Texas anyways but this may make it a little easier in some cases.

WOW!!! up until this past weekends games the Big XII was ranked #1 out of the 6 BCS conferences with the SEC 2nd, Big 10 3rd and the PAC12 4th in power ratings followed up by the ACC with the Big East being last.
Also the Big XII was able to go 38-2 in OOC games this past season
I guess what you are saying is if Texas isnt ranked then the conference must suck.....
