When ever they play anyone other than A&M, I will cheer them on. I just want to see the State of Texas be represented well.

GO AGGIES!!

Do Texas proud.

I pull for any team Mack Brown:mad: doesn't coach at Texas. When they can him, I will pull for the football team again, but absolutely not until then. :foul:

Hopefully UT A&M and UNT can make Texas proud. We all know TT couldn't.

:mad: :mad: :mad: Not with Applewhite or Sims. ;) People aren't required to "like" UT or Mack Brown because of a NC. Shocking, I know. :eek:

I am the biggest Applewhite fan in the world. Hell i named my son Major, but in Macks defense. Simms had the tools to be three times the QB that Major was. Truth be told he probably shouldnt have stuck with Simms as long as he did but I give him kudos for making a decision and sticking with it. I also believe that Mack learned from that episode of his career in how he handled the McCoy/quitterboyafraidofcompetitionandwantsarosterspotha ndedtohim from Stephenville duel last fall.

Major was the kind of person you admire for accomplishing what he did with the limited tools he had physically. Applewhite has a sharp sharp sharp mind and its just too bad that Simms didnt.

He stuck with his decision until Simms stunk it up against Colorado (wasn't it?), then put Applewhite in to save the day. And strictly my opinion, but I don't think he learned it until the VY/Chance Mock timeframe. ;)

The VY/Chance thing was an easy decision on who had the tools to get you to the top. Simms had the tools, Applewhite had the know how and the heart of a lion.

If you hate Brown for how he handled the Simm/Applewhite decision...Then you got to hate Landry for how he handled the Staubach/Morton decision or the White/Hogeboom decision.

Actually Landry could NOT make a decision..at least Mack Brown stood by his choice

And for the record Simms was hurt agianst Colorado and that was why Applewhite replaced him.

It is not like Simms was a terrible QB while Applewhite could do no wrong, even though that is the perception people have now.

Coaches have to make these types of decisions every single season, and generally more than once. It has to be what's best for the team overall, not who the "favorite" is.


Hogeboom.... :hairpunk:

It is not like Simms was a terrible QB while Applewhite could do no wrong, even though that is the perception people have now. Landry's decision was educated. Brown's was money motivated. Simms sucked and still does. Major was a player with Heart! The team played better for him, didn't they? I guess you would want a stupid athlete over a smart player that had heart. I guess you never played with kids that lacked skills but made up in heart and smarts what they lacked. :rolleyes:

Well seeing as Simms and Applewhite had almost identical records as far as wins to losses it is a wash. Again Simms put up amazing numbers..BUT that was expected of him. Applewhite comes out of nowhere so anything good he does is vaulted to legendary status.

So you would bench a senior Leader in favor of a NFL ex QB's son that really had done nothing for you yet?
My opinion is different than yours. Sorry this thread got Hijacked. GO State of Texas teams in basketball!

Applewhite was coming off of a knee injury and was exposed very badly in the Cotton Bowl. Simms had a great spring and had great physical tools. Mack Brown played who he thought was best and some feel it did not work out.

I dont think with Applewhite at QB in 2001 things change greatly. It is not like we can say beyond a shadow of a doubt that Texas wins a NC with Applewhite.

Again I LOVED Major..but he has become so overrated in the eyes of a lot of people because of the QB controversy

Oh he frustrated me as well..But so did Major in games like the loss to NC State, or the loss to Stanford.

IMO I would have stuck with Applewhite..BUT I am not going to act like Brown made such a terrible decision after the fact. He did what he thought was right for the team.

I didn't really care for Applewhite either. I probably should have mentioned that, lol.

Don't get me wrong, I love Vince. I just thought that was a crappy time for Texas as far as QB's go. I can't help but remember a loss to Colorado in the Big XII Championship. It still haunts me. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Those boys were vastly overrated, IMO.

Lack of character by still honoring an offer to a player who can never again play the sport of football.

Right, that is PR and that scholarship will be paid for with sweat and work. We agree again Emerson!:p
