TCU Gary Patterson on difference between Texas and Texas A&M

[Texas Jefe]

Texas got lucky every time they beat Nebraska. Yeah, that's it.

How bout, Nebraska got lucky the One time they beat Texas.

Man, this is all so lame.

You just gave your head coach a $5 million dollar contract, making him the third highest paid coach. That just seems like a lot of money after going 9-4. I mean 3 of those wins were from Rice, Sam Houston and SMU. Thank goodness for cupcakes.

It's just A&M had 3 first round draft picks, you would think they would have had a better record having 3 first round picks.

We would if we got to play OU every year.

 

[fordman84]

Well to be fair he'll play in state cupcakes every year, so he's always going to rack up some W's. Look at this season's non conf schedule for aTm, and try not to laugh to loud.

Is there such thing as a cupcake for Texas? I mean, A&M's in conference cupcakes kick the crap out of Texas.


Hmm, that must mean...Texas IS the cupcake.

 

[fordman84]

I dont care about the past. Living for the present. And believing our team is going to be better.

Actually, can mark it down now: Texas Longhorns are going to be a completely different team, starting this year.

careful what you wish for, different doesn't mean better.

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Meh.

Nebraska had the best team to ever play College Football.

That's fucking right. Right here in the little corn field that holds as many people as an average town in the state of Texas, we had the best team in the history of College Football.

Suck my balls boys!!! Suck on 'em forever and for always!!!

 

[fordman84]

I'm confused ... don't you guys point at TAMU being so good in the SEC to show that the SEC isn't as strong as we think it is? I guess it just depends on which argument you are making on which day.

and here comes the "but big12 is better top to bottom, so HA" tantrum.

 

[fordman84]

Did Patterson walk off the stage and punch a chick in the face after his comment, or get one of his players to do it for him?

 

[ElTexan]

Yes, we fire a hall of fame coach in a year he is one better half away from winning the Big 12.
TAMU throw parades for themselves for finishing 3rd then 4th in their Division.

Been saying the above exact words until ugly-maroon in the face.

 

[ElTexan]

last year was the worst the Big 12 has been in some time. I would guess the league moves up a bit this yr. There is a lot more returning QB talent

Yes, last year the Big 12 was the worst it had been in a VERY long time, and our 2nd best team still CRUSHED the best team of the SEC in their own backyard BCS bowl.

Over the last ~two decades, the Big 12 has been the best top to bottom conference in CFB. And that's not arguable.

one thinks the SEC WEST is tough for a couple of years? Do you not remember the Big 12 South of the previous decade?

We had a down year, and still crushed bama. difference between "Team SEC" and us... I wasn't rooting for my archrival. I wouldnt have minded at all if they lost.

TCU coach Gary Patterson: The hardest part about Austin is they fired a guy at 8-4, and down the road they give a raise at 8-4 (Sumlin).

Haven't we heard this talk before? Oh yah, it was Tommy Bowden at Clemson in 2006 mouthing off about Spurrier getting a raise.

Bowden quipped ...."it's amazing how this thing works because I'm at a place where seven [wins] gets you fired. He's at a place where seven gets you a raise."

Spurrier responded, "If Tommy Bowden wants a raise, he can just ask his AD and president if he's as good a coach as Mark Richt, and me, and Fulmer and Tuberville and those other guys. That's the only reason I got a raise. They think I'm that good a coach."

We all know how that has worked out for Bowden and Swinney.

Spurrier has been as South Carolina since 2005.
Clemson is 79-39 for a winning percentage of 0.669 compared to South Carolina which is 77-39 for a winning percentage of 0.664. So Dabo and Tommy played two more and won two more games than Spurrier overall.

But against teams with winning D1A records Clemson is 38-37 (or 0.507) while Spurrier is 41-36 (or 0.532).

Against AP ranked teams Clemson is 10-22 (or 0.312) while Spurrier is 18-25 (or 0.419).
And against AP Top 10 ranked teams Clemson is 0-10 (or 0.000) while Spurrier is 7-13 (or 0.350).
Finally, Clemson is 3-6 vs South Carolina.

A similar situation has playing out in Texas. Over the past 2 seasons
Texas A&M was (20-6)--0.769 while playing 5 AP Top 10 teams and 10 AP ranked teams(4-6) (all 6 losses were to ranked teams). Only 7 teams have won more games vs AP ranked teams than Texas A&M.
Texas was (17-9)--0.654 while playing 2 AP Top 10 teams and 7 AP ranked teams(2-5) (5 of the nine losses were to ranked teams and 4 were to unranked teams).
TCU was (11-14)--0.440 while playing 1 AP Top 10 team and 7 AP ranked teams(1-6) (6 of the 14 losses were to ranked teams and 8 were to unranked teams).

Sumlin will be at Texas A&M long after Patterson is gone from TCU.

 

[ElTexan]

You don't think A&M has high expectations for it's team every year?

Nope. I have many hard core* aggie friends who are like, "we'll be 4-4 in conference.. gig' em. WE OWN THE STATE OF TEXAS... where's my sheep?"

They seriously are talking smack about *ownage, and in the same breath predicting 4-4 in conference.

As I've pointed out to you slowheaded SEC crackers so many times...

The fact that a weak ass Big 12 team came into your conference known for "SEC DEFENSE" and was the runaway #1 offense proves that "SEC Defense" is a damned myth.

The fact that TAMU finished 3rd then 4th in their division proves that they shouldn't be throwing themselves all these parades... it also GOES to prove that the SEC is a top heavy conference and not as good as ESPNSUCK wants you to think.

Only an idiot thinks Mack was fired for one year.

Last year the big12 was better than the year before that. Your best team the year before that was in the cotton bowl, and we all remember how that went.

 

[ElTexan]

Only an idiot thinks Mack was fired for one year.

luckily for me, no one said that.

But the fact remains that we fired a HALL OF FAME coach in a year where he was one better half away from winning the conference, and y'all throw yourselves parades for finishing 4th in your DIVISION.

 

[ElTexan]

Last year the big12 was better than the year before that..

categorically untrue... please chime in, people. Are there even two other people who believe this nonsense?

 

[fordman84]

Nope. I have many hard core* aggie friends who are like, "we'll be 4-4 in conference.. gig' em. WE OWN THE STATE OF TEXAS... where's my sheep?"

They seriously are talking smack about *ownage, and in the same breath predicting 4-4 in conference.

yup, you're an idiot

but somehow our bottom teams beat you.

 

[ElTexan]

yup, you're an idiot

what's your conference record prediction for Aggie?

 

[fordman84]

luckily for me, no one said that.

But the fact remains that we fired a HALL OF FAME coach in a year where he was one better half away from winning the conference, and y'all throw yourselves parades for finishing 4th in your DIVISION.

Will someone throw this fucker a parade? He is obviously bent all out of shape about them.
