Man, this just hasn't been the season I expected after what was accomplished last year...Texas was definitely supposed to win the Big 12 this year, hands down...I don't think ANYBODY saw that Kansas St. win coming, and this past Texas A&M game...I was just blown away...

Now, Oklahoma is going to the damn championship, and you know I'm not the only one with that rotgut feeling in my stomach about them beating Mizzou, who has played very well this year...One thing is for sure man, we are NOT going to find out who the best team in college football is this year...Too many things have hit the fan...Ranked teams are being toppled by non ranked teams every week...

The only thing for certain is that Notre Dame sucks bad this year... :twisted:

Mike Sherman To Be Named New Texas A&M Coach

Houston Texans assistant Mike Sherman will be introduced as Texas A&M's football coach at a noon ET news conference Monday, a source close to the situation told ESPN's Joe Schad.

The Houston Chronicle first reported the story on its Web site Monday morning.

Sherman declined comment Sunday on reports that he was Texas A&M's leading candidate to replace Dennis Franchione, who resigned Friday following the Aggies' 38-30 victory over Texas.

Sherman, who turns 53 on Dec. 19, has been the Texans' assistant head coach for two seasons under Gary Kubiak, a former A&M quarterback. Sherman became the offensive coordinator this season.

When Sherman left the Texans' locker room after Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns, he was trailed by several reporters who asked for comment on the Texas A&M situation. He politely declined, saying he would only talk about the loss.

Earlier, Houston owner Bob McNair addressed Sherman's status.

"I think the report says he may be the leading candidate,'' McNair said. "They [Texas A&M] haven't called me. That's not to say they haven't called someone in the organization. I don't think they could find anyone better. He's an outstanding coach. We certainly would not stand in his way.''

Like Kubiak, Sherman has A&M ties. He was the Aggies' offensive line coach from 1989-93 and then in 1995-96 under R.C Slocum. Kubiak coached A&M's running backs in 1992 and '93.

Sherman coached the Green Bay Packers from 2000-05, guiding the team to three NFC North titles. Under Sherman, the Packers produced two of the four highest-scoring seasons in franchise history.

The Aggies went 32-28 in five seasons under Franchione and couldn't gain ground on the Big 12's elite teams. A&M hasn't won the league title since 1998.

Auburn coach Tommy Tuberville was also thought to be a strong candidate to succeed Franchione.

After watching that game last night, there's not a doubt in my mind that Texas has to be considered a serious contender next year...Colt is coming back, they have JC coming back, great tight ends...If that pass defense shores up, we'll be in a BCS next year guaranteed...Kudos to Mack Brown for having one of the most consistent winning program the past 10 years...I gotta get me some of those Longhorn jackets..!

Hook 'Em baby...

Gotta love that controversy about Mack Brown's stepson touching that ball. I know he didn't touch it but why the hell would you even think to reach down and do that?

I think the main reason is that he probably forgot how far beyond the sideline he was...As I was watching the play, that's what I was thinking...They were probably drifting and drifting over the sideline, and he probably thought he was a few feet behind it instead of in front...
