Mack Brown will win his first conference championship in 22 years at Reliant Stadium in Houston in a romp over Colorado for the Big 12 Championship. Kicks off at noon.

At 3:30pm our time, USC host cross-town rival UCLA. A USC win will make them 12-0, same record as Texas after routing Colorado.

So, it's Texas vs USC for the National Championship in the Rose Bowl!

Should be a great game for about a quarter...then USC's speed and enourmous talent take over. Any miscue by Vince Young and company will be exploited big-time. Anyway, this Saturday is what big-time football is all about!!!!!!!!

There will be a very good high school game too this weekend out at Fouts. You should go out if you enjoy watching good offenses. It will also give you a chance to watch a couple of very good QB's, coaches that actually have more than 3 plays, and you might even see more people at this game than UNT gets.

If you do end up going though, don't kid yourself, DD won't be out recruiting QB's like these for they are too developed for Dickey ball.

First we actually need to get a few quick gorillas that can protect the QB and open a few holes.....Manning would have had a hell of time this year at NT.

The game at Fouts will probably be better than both of those college games. The Big XII Championship and USC-UCLA games will pretty much just be showcases for the UT and USC offenses, but they won't be much of a game outside of that.

Exactly instead of trying to find another QB, why not con't to develop the dozen we already have and get some Big Blockers to plug the line on Defensive and some meat on the O-Line to block for JT and the QB of choice.

Then recruit a couple stud CB's who will actually play and not just talk.

Don't take UCLA's offense too lightly, they may have choked in the desert but we may be looking at another USC/Fresno State game again.

Just a quick chance to gloat...  I'll be at the Big XII game... in a suite... with an open bar...for free!    I must be living right.  Downside to this is a return trip to Austin Sunday morning to work a gig I couldn't get out of.

GO MEAN GREEN!

GO FREE STUFF!

Good thing I don't know what you look like or I'd stand outside the stadium watching for you until I could pounce and beat you up to steal your ticket.

(I'm just kidding, by the way)

      Because you aren’t saying it is difficult to compete, you are saying you have zero chance. It is the same as Dickey saying “I hope President Bataille remembers how much we are getting paid for this game when she looks up at the scoreboard tomorrow.”

      You've heard of Hook 'em, Gig 'em, Wreck 'em, Sic'em, what about...

      I remember that! I still say “Scrap ‘Em”. I thought it has always been a thing.

      You know it’s not just the Portal and NIL. I have never seen the traffic on gmg so anemic and I’ve been coming here since the 1990’s. Now, not to say the Portal and NIL haven’t had a huge negative impact but when you add the turmoil and uncertainty with what’s happening in our nation and around the world it’s forcing many to adjust their priorities. With that being said, maybe, just maybe people will turn out in masses on Saturdays if for no other reason than to just seek some kind of normalcy, an attempt to try and convince oneself that all is ok, nothing’s changed…..see the band is playing, the fans are cheering as the players take the field.

      Unfortunately this comment by the head coach at UNT is going to appear defeatist and will do nothing to motivate students, fans or players. Wish it had been some other school’s head coach. Awful publicity for UNT.

      Morris didn't say anything that most of us haven't already said or felt. Quite frankly, what he said has been true for a lot longer than many of us want to admit. Our lack of commitment to athletics (whether you want to blame it on administration, students, alumni, or realistically all of the above) has set us back and has been an issue for years. It still hasn't changed, and it's going to continue to come back to bite us for years to come. There has to be a clear divide at some point, even though I would argue there's been a fuzzy divide for a long time. It's just a matter of time at this point that it becomes crystal clear. We are not going to be in the top tier of that divide. Our stakeholders (I use this broadly and there are clear exceptions) have made that choice over however many years now. It's just going to finally come to a head.
