Mack Brown used to talk about winning the State Championship which used to mean beating dook, moou and weak forest.
Now it could be expanded to include ezu. It appears that beating these teams is not the priority it once was. I would think
that bragging rights over the schools in your own state would still mean something, at least in recruiting in state players. The effort against ezu and moou this season was horrible. It was almost like our guys beat dook and thought they could just show up against state. I stupidly hoped that this team had made improvements and had figured a few things out by winning 4 of the previous 5 games. Then Saturday happened and the reality is that this group is still very average at best. Beating Ga. Tech and dook were nice highlights, but losing to ezu by a gazillion and then the effort against moou were a harsh counter balance. Maybe we can one day hope to cheer for a team that at least gives their best effort against the in state schools. This year our record was a disappointing 1-2 against those schools.
