Horned Frogs invade Austin

Posted on 22 Nov 2012 by Don Greene.

Welcome home Horned frogs.  A former Southwest Conference member is finally playing in the conference it should have been in day one.  The frogs in my opinion should have never gone to another conferences once the Southwest conference was dissolved.  If Baylor could remain in the same conference as Texas, so should have TCU.  And the only reason Baylor became part of the Big tweleve was...

Farewell To DKR

Posted on 21 Nov 2012 by Don Greene.

Farewell to Texas great Darrell Royals.  He will be know for the wishbone running offense and a player's coach.  With all the money and pressure on college coaches, their are fewer player's coaches.  Today's coaches  have one concern and that is winning and they pretty much live in the now.  So,  the last things on their mind is what happens to their players after football.  Which wa...

Win one for Royal’s

Posted on 10 Nov 2012 by Don Greene.

Darrell Royals, at the age of 88 passed away this week.  He is one of my all-time Texas' favorite coaches.  He ranks right up there with Tom Landry, Jim Wacker and  Bear Byrant .    He was great for the college game really cared about his player.  He taught them the skills to make it in everyday life.   He mentored some great Longhorns like Earl Campbell,Tommy Nobis,Johnny lam Jones ...

Longhorn’s D stops the Red Radiers

Posted on 8 Nov 2012 by Don Greene.

Four years in a row and this one was big.  This keeps the Longhorn's in the run for a good bowl game.  It is hard to win in Lubbock.  Tech's lost may contribute to the firing of Tubberville at the end of the season.  His playing calling and clock management in this game was questionable at times.  But, this lose can't totally be blamed on the coach.  Tech left a few points on the score ...

Gray returns to Lubbock

Posted on 3 Nov 2012 by Don Greene.

Ash it is, starting against Tech Saturday in Lubbock at 2:30p.  Believe me Casey will be standing and waiting if Ash plays poorly.  Texas had to start Ash, if not it probably would have ruined him for the remainder of his career at Texas.  I am really not sure if Mccoy should be starting but thats why Mack get paid the big bucks  to make those decisions.  Even though both teams will not b...

Tuff win in Kansas

Posted on 1 Nov 2012 by Don Greene.

What's wrong with the Texas Longhorns.  Time has caught up with the program.  Too put it bluntly Mack's stuff is old.  The league and college football has learned and mastered Brown's system.  He has lost some very good defensive coordinator in the past years.  Those loses have made the defense play ineffective.  I still believe defense wins the game.  And the Longhorn defense this year ...

Texas knocks off the Jay-Hawks

Posted on 27 Oct 2012 by Don Greene.

It is the Jay-hawks next for the Longhorns.  I wish this was a basketball game  which would probably be more exciting to watch.  But, no its still football season and Texas is vying for a win over Kansas to be eligible for a Bowl game.  I personally was hoping this time of year we would be in contentions for Big 12 title game.  With the two loses in conference play they will be lucky to ge...

Longhorns steal the Bears honey

Posted on 25 Oct 2012 by Don Greene.

Years ago the Dallas Cowboys had the No Name defense and of late the Texas Longhorns have the No Team defense.  This may be the worst Longhorn defense ever and especially under Mack B.  I remember it wasn't long ago fans wanted Greg Davis gone.  It took awhile for that to happen because Mack is loyal to his coaches.  But,  he eventually removed Davis for Harsin, which is turning out to b...

The Longhorns Lasso the Bears

Posted on 20 Oct 2012 by Don Greene.

Its Baylor time.  No RG3, now playing for the Washington Redskins or talented receiver K. Wright.  The Bear's are o and 2 in conference play but own a two game winning strike against Texas.  Baylor is lead by offensive minded coach Art Briles.  He coached at University of Houston prior to the Baylor job.   And did a great job with the Cougars.  He runs a spread style offense specializi...

The Thrill is gone

Posted on 19 Oct 2012 by Don Greene.

The thrill is gone.  Longhorn's and Mack Brown have lost there swagger from the old National Championship days with VY.  This program is in need of a major overhaul, from the Athletic Director to the strenght and agility coach.  Second year in a row OU has scored over forty points on Texas.  It seems they could just score at well last Saturday.  The defense showed no pride and that refle...

The Red River shot out is probably the most watched regular season college football game in Texas.  I must saw I am really not much a fan of Oklahoma. Really, can't tell you when and why I started disliking them so much.  Its has been a great game to watch and wouldn't miss it for nothing in the world.  This year I plan on having  Margarita's for the game.  I always say if you can't go to ...

Longhorns stumble

Posted on 11 Oct 2012 by Don Greene.

Well, G man and company did their stuff in Longhorn country.  He threw for over 200 yards and 4 touchdowns.  He had a little help in the backfield with Andrew Buie rushing for over 200 yards.   And unstoppable T. Austin over 200 all purpose yardage.  I am from  the old school and still believe defense wins games.  I have heard  different stories why the  Texas defense may be having pro...
