This is an interesting article concerning UT injuries

Not making excuses just thinking about what could have been
Here's my issue.  When's the last time Alabama had to "think about what could have been" due to injuries?

Dammit to Hades!!  I'm tired of hearing it.

sorry BC I knew Alabama

Alabama was a friend of mine

and UT aint Alabama

not many teams are

If you read the article you will see that UT was already thin at most of its OL

positions with no injuries at all but when you completely remove the starting 5 OL players

from our team and then take away half of their replacements we got trouble in River City

Most teams can deal with one or two starting OL going down but when all OL goes down

thats hard to overcome

we have 2 games left and I think we win at least one of them and go to a bowl game

will we win the bowl game - probably not but its important to go to one for reasons I wont

go into right now

Which is precisely the problem.
And there's no excusing it.

When the other 116 teams get a TV channel, I'll wonder why they all can't compete with Alabama.

In terms of championships, we don't even compete with Norman, Oklahoma.  That is pitiful if you think it through.

Texas needs some piss and vinegar.  This is the one reason I supported Herman, he does bring that.  We'll see if he brings anything else.

As best as I remember, Mack was a step forward right out of the box.  I don't remember any backwards.  Until he went backwards on himself.
Akers, McWilliams, and Mackovic all came before Mack.  THAT was our coaching carousel, Mack was at the end of it, not the beginning.  After Saint Darrell we had 1 step backward, then 5 steps backward, and then another 3 steps backward, before we got to Mack.

My point was Mack III was not an initial step backward from Mack II.  It was all forward from day one.

Mack had the benefit of the greatest college running back of all time.  That was a considerable advantage.
