I never saw that on the TV broadcast ... |
Reminds of the time we were playing up at Wisconsin and Alvarez got so [censored]ed that he punched a hole in the chalkboard at halftime and a piece came back and sliced the bridge of his nose open. |

Ticked off: Brown faults clock rule in loss to OSU
By Joe Schad
ESPN.com
Add Texas coach Mack Brown to the list of critics of the NCAA's new football clock rules.
Brown said Monday during the weekly Big 12 teleconference that the new rules, which were designed to limit the time of games, hurt the No. 8 Longhorns in Saturday's loss to No. 1 Ohio State.
"They scored with six minutes left and the game was over before we had a chance to do anything," Brown said. "I really hope whoever made these changes will go back and look them over."
Under the rule changes, the clock starts on a kickoff when the ball is kicked, not when the receiving team touches it; and on a first down, when the ball is marked ready for play, not when it is snapped.
Brown said while games are being shortened, the fans are being shortchanged.
"One of the great things about college football is a team's ability to come back," Brown said. "Now that's limited. Our game was 22 minutes shorter. That's a little under 10 percent of our game. That's not fair to our fans. We worry about them sitting there?"
Brown said, at worst, the old rules should be in place for the last two or five minutes of each game. Of the new rules, Brown said: "I hate it." |
Without the new clock rules, it could have been 31-7 or 34-7 just as easily.

I thought that too. I'm keeping my eye on the Statesman today to see if such an article is posted.
Don't shoot the messenger, just relaying what I heard a Texas reporter say on Columbus radio.

Xray just gave me a phone call and indicated that since the stats of the game did not favor Texas his computer fried. I told him it could be worse if ND was his favorite team. Go Bucks

Not shooting...just saying in all the time Mack has been here he is never anything but positive on the sideline...almost to a fault sometimes...and Colt didn't lose this game for us...grabbing him by the facemask in frustration would not only ruin him for the rest of that game but for the rest of the year. |

I'm not disagreeing with you because I really don't know, but he sure doesn't look positive on the sidelines.
I realize he's yelling at the ref right there, but he looked quite disgruntled throughout the game whether he was yelling at someone or not.
