The headline said: Texas Stinks.
That was a headline on a Picker blog early in the week. You can look it up. It's right there in black and white.
Turns out, that headline understated things.
Texas REALLY stinks. It is John Blake bad.
When you get great recruits and act as though this was the first screen pass you've ever seen, it reflects directly on the lack of coaching. They need to name a goal post after Mack and send him on his way. Plus the punk coordinators are lousy.
Credit where credit is due: Bringing Mike Stoops back was a very good move. He may have been a bad head coach at Arizona. But he brings emotion and passion to the OU defense, which hasn't looked this good probably since he left. Venables is doing nothing at Clemson. Mike Stoops has OU looking mean. He was brought back to knock Texas on its Asp and did precisely that. That anybody could have though that Asp was good sums up the Texas state of things.
But please let's don't go back and start the what-ifs about the K-State game.
Here's what matters.
OU's defense is on the way back.
Texas stinks.
