I know I'll probably be ridiculed for this but dare i say that Mack has created a Dynasty? While i was very young when Mackovic brought the house down, it seems that fans are thinking that Mack is leading us down the same path. Mack brought this program back up to College Football's Elite and not only for a limited time but has sustained this elitism. (but there is also an argument to be made that this Elitism has gone to the fans heads and is a very negative attribute.) The success mack has garnered did not just remain isolated in the football department,but trickled down into all areas of the athletic department, both men's and women's. Texas' athletic success in the last 7 years or so didnt just come out of no where it was spearheaded by Mack.
Being a good, elite program is far from being a Dynasty. It is all in your wording. I don't think that Texas is a dynasty. You have to win more than 1 championship and be competing for conference championships year after year
Being a true dynasty requires winning multiple championships. I would say that we have quite a little dynasty going with all of our 10 wins seasons, though.
we have a better dynasty that Kansas State's run in the 90s that is for sure. of course, everybody laughed at KSU fans who called it a dynasty, and for good reason....
Sorry to be a wet blanket, but why, exactly, is that an important question? It might make you feel better, after the predictable early October setback, after our annual KSEL*, or after another T+1 shartfest, to think we are a dynasty, but brother, it don't do much for me. We're expected to be a heavyweight; we're the second largest university in the country, we are in one of the most populous and economically vibrant states, football is KING here, and everyone else hates our guts. I love that, I really do. I see no reason why we shouldn't be able to back it it up and make the rest of 'em eat **** on a routine basis. Statistically, we win most of our games. Yay. Go get 'em. Strike up the band, let's have a parade. If we can go to the conference championship game every other year, I'll call it "what we should be doing." You'll have to call it a mega-dynasty. And if we start routinely being part of the title game mix, I'll call it "what we should be doing" and you'll have to bump it up to "Super Double Mega-Dynasty" or whatever. If we win a National Championshp, I'll call it "Wow, we did it!". You at that point will have exceded your upper explosive limit and become a Longhorn-shaped super nova heralding the birth of the Burnt Orange messiah. But if that happens, bro, it'll all be good. I don't give a **** about what we're called. *Kansas State Equivalent Loss
I think he meant trophies, plural...and not just from the same year or more run of the mill bowl games. Specifically, the MNC one.
Well, uh, Mack has one BCS trophy and one Big XII trophy, so that's plural, right? Right? Go Mack Brown!
I guess you missed the part where I nailed that he means MNCs, not conference trophy or other bowl games. And then where he posted I was correct in my interpretation of his post.
If we ever won two (just two) conference championships in a row, I would break out my Dynasty t-shirt. Alas, it is still hidden underneath my Stevie Nicks 1996 Tour t-shirt in the bottom of the closet. You can't spell dynasty without Holiday Bowl.
I am with you! I think it is all Deloss! You talk about an old bull getting put out to pasture. However, how did he come up with Rick Barnes? Somebody must have dumped that one in his lap.
A dynasty wins multiple National Championships. Frankly there is no other sort of dynasty I would accept as a Texas fan.
My post regarding Deloss specifically related to UT athletics as a whole and, more importantly, that Mack Brown is not to be credited as the designer of a successful UT Athletics dept as a whole.
I remember the "Dump the Dodds and flush the John" t-shirts. Consistent threat? Yes. Dynasty? Not so much.
