The Drake, here are the facts and we'll just let them speak for themselves:
Texas:
- wins over UT 3 out of last 4 years
- Puts more players in NFL and they have stayed in the NFL longer
- Big wins in recent years over OSU, OU, USC, OU, OU, OSU
- National title
- Conference Championship
- 5 straight Bowl victories
- Won 3 out of last 3 BCS bowl games
- 10 wins in last 8 seasons
OU:
- 3 conference championships in last 4 years (6 overall under Stoops)
- last national title 9 years ago (5 more years than Texas)
- Puts less players in the NFL and more of them wash out
- Lost to Texas (main rival) 3 out of last 4 years
- Out recruited by Texas 3 out of last 4 years
- 10 or 11+ wins in only last 3 seasons
- Lost 5 straight bowl games
- Lost 5 straight BCS bowl games
- Lost big games including Florida, Texas, West Virginia, Boise St., Texas, Oregon, Texas, UCLA, TCU, USC, LSU, K-state in recent years

There is no slide in Texas football or lack of development no leading to on the field success. That is the tired argument that I am talking about regarding your comments. Those arguments were valid from 2000-2004 but not in the last 4 years. Mack has proven that he can win the big game, beat OU, develop his players, get his players in the NFL, and win championships. He has done with much more frequently and better than Stoops has during the last 4 years.
Also feel free to read many of the other posters comments on this thread that agree with my point of view and disagree with yours.
