OSU sued their former coach after he took a job in Austin as a "co-offensive" coordinator in what the Cowboys consider a lateral move (which means he would owe them a penalty for leaving).  Fun to see others' dirty laundry and Arkansas gets a n-i-c-e reference in the deposition.

From the article...

'AUSTIN, Texas -- The $600,000 question at Texas is just who calls the plays for the Longhorns' anemic offense.

Assistant head coach Shawn Watson says he does. Offensive coordinator Joe Wickline says he does too. In fact, they swear they share.

And head coach Charlie Strong? Well, he says they both do, "And I'm on the headset."

But when asked who called most of the plays in a 31-7 bowl game thrashing by Arkansas, when Texas managed just 59 total yards, Strong said, "I don't know."

...

Presumably, those were the five games Texas won by at least 17 points. They also lost five by 21 or more.

And the paltry 43 plays against Arkansas? Who called most of those? For the record, Texas ran 18 times against Arkansas for 2 yards

"I don't want to remember that game, we were so bad," Strong said.'

If I'm going to cheer players and coaches in victory, I damn sure ought to be man enough to stand with them in defeat.

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.
