The following is an important message from my ego: Something very important happened recently. A football coach at a big state university resigned. This kind of thing happens all the time, but in this instance, it happened at the state university which is located in the city where I reside. I also happen to hold a degree from this institution. Therefore, this story should be very important to you, the Georgetown alumnus/basketball fan. Please read the following linked story from today's Austin American-Statesman, and focus on how intensely important it is to you personally: www.statesman.com/sports/longhorns/davis-has-built-a-career-molding-offenses-moving-1106018.htmlI am aware that a separate thread for College Football exists, but I fear that by posting this link there, you might not pay attention to this important story, or to me, a very important person on an Internet message board.

Why anyone would coach football at the Forty Acres always baffled me. - Darrell Royal won two national titles and six SWC titles between 1969 and 1975, yet he goes 5-5-1 in 1976 and that's the end.
- Fred Akers was one blocked punt away from the 1983 national title, won 73% of his games over 10 seasons, and yet they could not wait to get rid of him.
- Mack Brown is one year removed from nearly winning a second national title (esp. if McCoy had played the second half vs. Alabama) and now he's forced to cut staff to avoid seeing himself on the chopping block. Another 6-win season sends Mack, a likely Hall of Famer, to an analyst job on ESPN2 games.
Outside of South Bend and Tuscaloosa, is there a more impatient fan base in America than in Austin? (I was going to make a remark about the patient fans of Georgetown in comparison, but it's not even in the same area code against the expectations of Orangebloods.)

ROTFLMAO. But come on, Austin, this is a lowly assistant coach, not a head coach who won two Natty Tites.

You are contributing to the unraveling of the seams of the space-time continuum which will potentially plunge us all headfirst into endless oblivion.

Actually, I think Notre Dame is rather patient. How long did they keep Weiss? Too Long! But as someone who hates Notre Dame, I found it very amusing. As for the Texas fan base ... I can't say that I'm shocked, but I also understand their feelings. Not making a bowl game is for "other people!" Florida had a terrible season at 7-5, but we still made a Bowl Game and beat 2 of our 3 rivals. If you turn two of those games around, I'm sure a 5-7 season would be generating a lot of heat down here as well.
rossy, what's your problem with Natty Tite?
