Preseason Longhorns unranked for the first time since 1998.

From the article....

"...For the first time since 1998, Texas will begin the season without a number next to its name........... Texas gave up 28 sacks for 221 yards, so building an offensive line that knows how to protect a quarterback is paramount."

Good!  That sounds so sweet!

Yippekiyiyay!

I miss the smell of the mud, grass, and sweat of the practice field. I miss blood oozing down your arm from the rip in your skin that was slashed on a guys helmet as you punked him at the line of scrimmage and put his dobber in the dirt.

I know Texas has had a lot of success since '98, but I still think of them struggling since the early eighties.  I'm actually surprised they went so long getting ranked in the preseason, but I'm sure much of it wasn't deserved.

I guess people should enjoy it now, because I don't expect it to last.  Strong rebuilt Louisville, and he has a much deeper talent pool at TX.  I will be interested in what we see in years 3 and 4.

He's got that program right where he wants it. If there was a time for him to go elsewhere it was when that drug suspension thing hit. He's probably there for good.

They don't even have to live in Dallas itself. There are a lot of great places to live in that area. Some really posh suburbs.

Look, I hate Texas as much as anybody, but Charlie Strong is a good coach. As long as they give him the time, he'll get them turned around. I'm just going to enjoy them being this bad for however long it lasts, because I dont think it will be too much longer, maybe 2 more years. Mac really left them in bad shape.

Agreed. But will they give him time? Their brand is flagging and their conference is coming apart at the seams.

Look at how poorly some of our fans and boosters handled 2013 & early '14. Do you really think those entitled t'sips are going to gracefully endure rebuilding? I could easily see their unpopular AD scapegoating Charlie in order to save his job.

::hornsdown:: Too much money and too much pride in Texas for this to last very long. Charlie can get it turned around if they give him time...and if not they'll get somebody else.
The look on their fans faces, after the Texas Bowl, was enjoyable...especially when they were reading the 'Deep In The Heart of Texas' sign being carried around the exit ramp concourses.  ::hornsdown::

Great to see the Whores unranked.
Patterson is the King in Fort Worth. He would never go to Austin.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Glad to see the Horns where they belong 2 votes ahead of LA Tech. Strong is a good coach, not sure he is the right fit for Texas. Enjoy the Smoke coming from Austin.

Texas fans are in mourning. I believe the AD at UTerous will be gone before NSD.

What caused the crash and burn after the Young and McCoy years? I just can't imagine a tradition-rich program in Austin having a bad recruiting class much less several bad classes consecutively.

Its rock bottom for Texas.
They're unranked and 4th in their own state.
Really unbelievable...with their resources and instate talent...they should be Top 5 every year.

Hoping CS doesn't make it there.

I like the guy too much to root against him for long and can't stand the thought of pulling for tejas.

Messed up I know but there it is.
