11/25/16 Winners Take The Best Stuff?

    Do y'all remember the Vince Young days or even the Colt McCoy era?  It seemed the Texas Longhorns naturally played in prime time.  For many years they were like the Cowboys playing on Thanksgiving Day.  It might seem like a pain in the ass for the players, but it was also free advertising because what young high school kid interested in playing college ball wasn't sitting there watching football while the turkey is basting in the next room?
    For that matter, up until last year they were still getting the prime time on any Saturday night and I could plan on making BBQ and settling in for a great night of football where the Longhorns might struggle for a quarter or two, but eventually we would see them dominate the likes of Kansas, or Baylor, or even Iowa State.  The only game I would bet them winning these days is the shitter game at the start of the season against UT-El Paso.  All of a sudden, we lost McCoy and the whole program went to crap.  Mack Brown lost his job, Charlie Strong is about to lose his job after three sub standard years.  He doesn't get the benefit of more time because UT already has privilege of all these prime time games in which they are supposed to make all the quality players want to play for the Longhorns.  Instead, we see them going to A&M, Oklahoma steals way too many Texas boys to look better than that empty state should be able to do.  Shoot, even Baylor has had a run in recent years, suddenly playing above their pay grade.  I didn't understand why Art Briles was removed, I assume most football players do a little raping and pillaging, it's what you do in the off season when the steroids are running through their blood and nobody on the field to beat on.
    So here we are, at the end of Strong's tenure.  We have to wait until Friday to see the Longhorns play, I don't know why they are still even playing on days other than Saturday.  It remains to be seen who will be the next coach and what he'll bring to the table, but he has to arrive winning.  They have a good to great quarterback, Buechele who will still have three more good years, if he stays.  Meanwhile, the Aggies have managed to keep winning in the challenging SEC which just pisses me off even more because the Big 12 is supposed to be a weaker conference. 
    The only good thing about this weekend is it is the last game of the season for our Longhorns, I doubt they can beat TCU so there won't be a bowl game to see them in January.  Who do we cheer for while the suckage in Austin continues?  As a Longhorn, I cannot cheer for the Aggies.
