I’m worried about recent off-the-field incidents and our team’s mediocre academic performance in general.

I wouldn’t get too upset about it. Mack always says he is going to play the backup QB more, too.

Perhaps the strategy is that the opposition will be so busy worrying about upcoming trick plays and how to defense the backup QB that they’ll forget to cover the sideline pass.

“When they (recruits) say we are one-of-five, then I say you’re down to one-of-four because I’m out.”

Shit like this makes me ponder options for our next coach

Good call on the tailgate pic. The first thing I thought of when I read the quote was that Mack views Texas fans like we’re straight out of Idiocracy.

As you say, CJD, maybe you have to understand the context in this case. Perhaps Mack was rolling on the floor with laughter and holding up crossed fingers on both hands. We can hope.

Anyway, it didn’t set me on edge quite like the “When they (recruits) say we are one-of-five, then I say you’re down to one-of-four because I’m out.” That was truly cranium splitting.

Oh, and great to see your name included in this limited, privileged, and elite group of Barkers, CJD. Actually, I have been thinking of giving site management the “If you say Henry James is one of 5,437 Barkers then it is now one of 5,436 because I am out” kind of ultimatum.

I only get mad at him when we don’t win but am OK the rest of the time.

I agree, that was not a quote becoming of a football coach who kicks ass and takes names. But at least we do have a couple of name-takers on the staff.

Nobody wins all the games all the time. Hell, best team in the history of college football - as seen on TV, per Harbaugh - could not win them all. Is 10 per year too little to ask?
