BEVO BLOG: The Wish List

"When you wish upon a star...makes no difference who you are...."-Jiminy Cricket

As I have a day chock full of meetings and events, my wishes are short and simple.

1. Please Texas, beat Baylor tomorrow. Win it for Colt.
2. The Aloha Bowl for Texas. ('Horns, remember you have to win at least 6 games)
3. Auburn and Oregon for the BCS National Championship. Sorry Boise, but I fell off your bandwagon when you announced you're moving to the MWC. If you want to be top dog you have to play with the big dogs.)

BEVO Blog: Mack Attack?

The folks down in Austin, TX are getting restless. The 'Horns are 3-2, and out of the AP Top 25 for the first time since 1998. Are there "For Sale" signs being planted in Mack Brown's front yard?

Winning is everything in Texas and according to USA Today, at least some think the Mack Brown is in a little hot water. What hooey.

OK, Texas isn't going to any major bowl this year. Next week they'll likely lose to Nebraska at Lincoln but I still think they'll finish off what is essentially a re-building season 9-3. Going into the 2010 campaign the Longhorns were way over-rated. Colt and J-Ship moved to Ohio leaving some big holes. The defense was supposed to be the best in the land. It isn't. Then there's those dumb "East-West Offense" passes aka the "Greg Davis Offense" which is offensive.

All this has a few not-so diehard fans longing for D-Coord Will Muschamp, already the designated heir to the throne, to take over at the end of the season. They worry Muschamp could head back to his alma mater Georgia if he doesn't get the top job.

Mack Brown is 131-29 in 13 seasons at Texas including a National Championship (I was there) and but for Colt getting knocked out this year's game, might have won a second.

131-29.

If you've ever lived in Texas, you understand the pressure to win at any level. Texas is also the biggest of the big dogs in college football. It was Texas that put the kabosh on what might have been the PAC 16. The program is a cash cow, and cash is king in college football.

Mack Brown will step-down when he's good and ready. If Will Muschamp has any sense, he'll wait patiently for that day to come. As for O-Coord Greg Davis, he can leave anytime he'd like. That could come as early as a week from Sunday.

Finally, I heard that a few OU fans made their way to the Texas-Exes game-watching party this past weekend and behaved like, well, OU fans. Too bad for them because payback is a bee-otch.

HOOK'EM!
