Top 144 countdown

I don't even think Texas fans think they'll finish that high. They'll be lucky to make the NIT this year.

Texas has basketball fans? This year, they barely even have football fans.

They have fans, they may be irritated right now, but they have fans. And man do they have talent...I watched the game last night and they are loaded with physical specimens.

I wonder if they'd lost that game (and in many ways they should have) if Mack might have been given a Kiffin on the way home?

[SubGod22]

A Kiffin. I like it.

If the stripes don't bail Texas out, they lose that game.

Does anybody know where WSU was ranked on this list last year? And just out of curiosity where was Creighton ranked?

Re-read the thread. I believe Juco said 84th.

Ahhh, thanks, I missed that.

That, and a MISERABLE decision by ISU, up 3, 2nd and 1 at the 3 and inside 4 minutes left in the game, to deep hand off to the RB off guard. The play was QB sneak....run the clock (or force timeout)....score or 1st down or 3rd and less than one...same thing. Chances of stopping them 2 times were small. Instead, 3 yard loss, incomplete, FG, and Texas wins.

And yes, Texas did get a favorable whistle imho.

outstanding team, with one of the best freshman classes in the country.

58 for Texas seems really out of step with what people on this boards expectations are. Hope they end that high.

I hope they do a lot better than that. Otherwise their coach will be headed out the door with M. Brown and the AD. You know what that could mean.

Not sure how that has any effect on us

[Signman]

Texas has incredibly deep pockets and could hire any coach they want, football or basketball. There will be a new AD in Austin and he or she will want their own coaches.
