I agree with just about everything you've said. I often wish we had a jerk as a coach. We'd probably get more success out of our great recruits. At the very least, we wouldn't have been intimidated by Stoops the 5 years in a row that we lost to him, which just so happened to coincide with the 5 football seasons I was in school. Lucky me. Hey I'm ready for the Muschamp era. I get a little worried when I hear that Mack is "rejuvenated" and not looking to retire soon. I'd love to have a fiery coach who shows tough love and isn't always p.c. We need a coach who hates our biggest rival, or at the very least one who won't kiss his arse while he's kicking theirs.

As for Tebow, it's really hard to talk about the guy honestly without someone getting their feelings hurt. I LOVE the guy as person and motivator etc. As a Christian, I whole-heartedly support everything he does with his faith and his priorities. I would love to have him as a leader of my team. However, whenever the OU loser said he'd only be the 4th or 5th best qb in the Big 12, he was right. He didn't say leader, or competitor or athlete, he said qb. As far as throwing, reading coverages etc. he's not spectacular. The thing is, I think Colt McCoy is a better version of Tebow. Great guy (he does mission trips and speaking engagements too with way less pub), had better rushing numbers (although I'd much rather have TT on the goalline), and was far superior in virtually every passing stat. So I just don't understand how Tebow could get the Heisman one year with that resume, then Colt do it better and NOT win the Heisman.

MAN I HATE OU. Sam "So easy a caveman could do it" Bradford is a very talented fellow, but I would estimate that half of his success should be attributed to other factors. He had the without a shadow of doubt best O-line for 2 years, great receivers, very very good RBs, and a system that tired and confused pple. Oh and lets be honest, while the Big 12 defense isn't as bad as my SEC brethren would have you believe, it ain't that good either. I know this hurts my argument for Colt BUT Colt didn't have the same talent and experience at WR (although we're stacked with the talent part this year), his O-line was good but not great, and he had no one who remotely resembled a RB last year.

Yeah ok, I know, I'm whining. My bad. The Longhorns just got screwed in a lot of different ways last year. Just imagine mustering all your strength to beat your most hated, and more talented rival. Then having a major comeback against the year's trendiest team slip through the hands of a freshman DB. Then having that same bitter rival somehow pass you despite the fact that you beat them to win not only the conference championship, but get a chance to play for the National Championship. Then you figure your QB will win the Heisman because he had a much more rounded resume, did more with less, and beat the one of the other candidates...but LOSE. Then that bitter rival embarrasses your league by losing its 5th bcs game in a row. This is our hell.

Not to start any more arguments, but I don't like Urban. He seems like a jerk. Although he's obviously a great coach. If you wanna talk about sensitive, look that guy up. I mean maybe he's just using it as fuel sorta like Jordan used to find any kind of slight to motivate him. But every coach that says anything negative, he just gets all pissy about. I'm not saying I wouldn't want him as a coach, because even after he gets pissy he goes out and wins, just saying as an unbiased observer, he seems like a real jerk.

Just to show I'm not hating on UF/Florida, I don't like the Cowboys either. I know most pple think it's impossible for Texans to not like the 'Boys, but I never have. I grew up an Oilers fan. So now I'm kinda in limbo. Ultimately the NFL has nothing on college.

Oh and I like Tebow a lot as a person and as a football player...as a Qb, I would suggest the media slows its roll on that one.

Not that I expect any one to really care about my opinion. Just putting it out there.

truce.

well done on the CNR recognition.

Honestly, I just like arguing and I'm bored as hell at work. But here are my points:

I guess I did somewhat misjudge your comments, BUT expressing some doubt as to whether we'd lock down our verbal committments or kind of scoffing how we just automatically get recruits and have them lined up for years are technically negative things.

Sure it's not overly offensive like the whole calling us sensitive girls thing that you seem to be stuck on. But it's negative none the less. So I'm correct in saying that there were a surprising number of fairly negative comments to start off an article about the 'horns, and they all seem to be from Gators.

I don't have any beef with ya dude, I'm just trying to argue a point. But, I think it's fun to call eachother names and argue CFB, so if you wanna continue to hit me with sophomoric, chauvanistic comments calling me a girl, I'm up for it man. Putting people in their place is one of my favorite things to do.

How could we possibly have an inferiority complex with a school that isn't better than us in virtually any category measuring success? I mean maybe over the last 15 years or so, but that's still a big maybe.

This whole argument started because 2 or 3 of you Gators got on a Longhorn story and complained. Granted, yours wasn't a huge knock on us or anything, but we're just noticing a trend here. 2 or 3 of the first few comments are complaints, and they're by Gators. I was just stating that that was kinda lame considering they just won a NC, have amazing recruiting themselves and the media tells us God is their qb. I would think that if you're so secure in their "dominance" you wouldn't waste your time with schools that are supposedly inferior.

Much better comeback, you sort of redeemed yourself. Touche from the ****!

Charlie Brown's teacher? What kind of lame insult is that? You sound like someone's crazy lame uncle. Do you do the "magic" seperated thumb trick too? And how would you be hearing me anyway, this is written. Lots of whole in that one buddy.

Austin is heaven...well it's hot as hell, but in every other way it's amazing.

THey have some video of him on espn.com.

but who really knows?

Oh wow, here's another one. I wonder sir, does your obsession with female menstrual issues mean that you are a gynecologist by trade? The only other type of pple this obsessed with all things ****, are those who don't have any experience with one. You definitely aren't one of those are you?

Oh I get it, you're saying we're feminine. What a genius concept, calling men women. Brilliant!!! Do mind if I use this pattern of insults? You are truly one of the great minds of our time, and your creativity astounds me. Ground-breaking, simply ground-breaking!

Why are Gator fans so bitter about this? Didn't you guys just win a NC? Sheesh.

do we even have to mention that USC is one of anyone's final choices? it's so ridiculous how every single talented h.s. player wants to play there. Gah I hate them.

hey canada, go ahead and punch a football mask, see who it hurts most.

people sure hate some Chris Simms. He did single-handedly lose us the opportunity to go to the Rose Bowl to face Miami for the NC but I don't hate him that much. I wish him success. Any Longhorn that succeeds reflects positively on us. Think about it, if the least clutch QB in Longhorn history makes it in the NFL that's gotta be good for us right?

Everyone's down on Raefer, but I like him. I mean I wouldn't mind an upgrade, but I don't think he's hurting the team.

I don't mean to root for anyone's failure, but I desperately want everyone to look back 10 years from now and say: "You took Oden over Durant?!?!?! Hahahahahaha Idiot"

haha, great comment Bryk
