    Watching Tejas players and coaches jumping around on the sideline after their punt return td while still losing was classic. Lotta sizzle in that program.

    Texas is just cursed. One title in a bazillion years, and it almost didn't happen. Most of that time, they played in a relatively shit conference too. It just may be the clearest example of how important coaching is, because there isn't a program anywhere that can out-resource Texas. They have built-in recruiting, money and a national following (why, I don't know, but they do) ... and still.

    Disagree.


    Beginning in 1893, the Texas Longhorns football program is one of the most highly regarded and historic programs of all time. From 1937 to 1946 the team was led by Hall of Fame coach Dana X. Bible, and then from 1957 to 1976 the team was led by Hall of Fame coach Darrell K. Royal, who won three national championships. In 2012, the football program was valued at $805 million, more than the calculated value of several NFL teams. In 2008, ESPN ranked Texas as the seventh-most prestigious college football program since 1936. As of the end of the 2016 season, Texas' all-time record is 891–359–33 (.718), which ranks as the second-most wins in NCAA Division I FBS history. Texas is known for their post-season appearances, ranking second in number of bowl game appearances (53), fourth in bowl game victories (27), most Southwest Conference football championships (27), and most Cotton Bowl Classic appearances and victories. Other NCAA records include 108 winning seasons out of 122 total seasons, 23 seasons with 10 or more wins, 9 undefeated seasons, and 26 seasons with at most one loss or tie. From 1936 to 2012, the Longhorns football teams have been in the AP or coaches' rankings 66 out of 76 seasons (86.8% of the time), finishing those seasons ranked in the top twenty-five 48 times and the top ten 28 times. Texas claims four Division I-A national championships (1963, 1969, 1970 and 2005) and 32 conference championships (3 Big 12 Conference, 27 Southwest Conference, and 2 Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association).

    Who knew they'd be yearning for the Mack Brown days of 8-5.

    Mack Brown; four 9 win seasons, nine consecutive 10 or more win seasons, National Champion, and consecutive Rose Bowl winner Mack Brown?

    Just about every fan base would eat a human turd to have Mack Brown in Austin results.

    Yeah he was pretty good for those nine years.

    Too bad he coached four more after that.
