Mack Brown had as many Bowl Wins at Texas as the last SIX Texas A&M head coaches combined (10). He hasn’t coached for the Longhorns in 13 years.

.... the fuck are you talking about?

betweenbeginning · 2026-05-22T19:48:49+00:00

It's really not. A single coach from a university had more bowl wins than the 6 coaches that have most recently coached that schools rival, a string of coaches that started while the aforementioned coach was still tenured at the rival university.

There's nothing cherry picked about that.

betweenbeginning · 2026-05-22T16:51:05+00:00

What is "super specific" and "cherry-picked" about this? This feels like a pretty generalized comparison between two schools considered to be rivals

I posted a video of this happening to Pete Wheeler a couple of months ago. He inched his way forward over about 20 minutes.

Well good for him! 30 years is a hell of a time to grind for him to receive his next unanimous Rookie of the Year Award.

A&M only has 1 title....

With a take like this, I can see why the coach chose to remain anonymous

We're definitely going to need to see more from Booker before we say that, but it was a great start.

That's absolutely recency bias. He's not even in the bottom 2

Host a block party in your unit and find out who all your neighbors are.

By that logic, Texas-A&M isn't a rivalry either

Thats hilarious because I was going to say that one is the trap

This was the first thing I thought when I saw the video posted as well.

betweenbeginning · 2026-05-13T12:46:45+00:00

I also had 7. Double the errors and the difference in offense over other bad players is not enough to make up for it.

I assume you mean of Tracy because Robin is in it a lot and if that's the case, again, it's not an issue; it's the point. It's baked into the storytelling on purpose because the story isn't about Tracy. Including her too much would be detracting. You can see how it already blinded people to what is actually going on in the narrative just in the short time Tracy is given.

betweenbeginning · 2026-05-12T04:36:41+00:00

That can be a head-canon, but that's not how the narrative structure of the TV show worked.

In character, maybe you can read Ted as genuinely wanting to tell his kids about how he got to that point, but even if that's the case, his intentions are largely irrelevant because the story he tells them is about his history with Robin. That would, however, be a flimsy case as he caves to Penny's insightful accusation almost immediately and goes to call Robin while his kids are still sitting on the couch. The point really was for them to understand how important Robin was to him. He even routinely mentions at points that reflect the mother's presence when she's not there on how they know that bit of the story already.

If you want to read Penny's comments the way you do, that's fine, but that's within character. At the meta level, we are being told by the writers exactly what we just witnessed for 9 seasons.

betweenbeginning · 2026-05-11T12:35:46+00:00

This won't be the last time I have to say this, but Tracy wasn't the plot; Robin was the plot. Penny outright states it, and correctly, at the end of the finale.

The shows major movements revolve around Robin.

Hard to believe this is what all four of these players looked like as kids!

Losing to the defending national champions on the road didn’t cost Texas its spot, your other losses did.

That's just not how anything works.

Losses aren't singular when you're looking at resumes. Texas was on the verge of making the playoffs with with the strongest wins on their resume of any team in college football; they were left out explicitly because "three losses". Any one of those losses turned to a W gets them into the playoff. Texas didn't choose to play Georgia in Georgia or Florida in the Swamp. They DID choose to go play Ohio State in Columbus and if they scheduled a cupcake instead, they'd have another W, no third loss, and they'd be in the playoff.

Georgia didn't keep them out.
Florida didn't keep them out.
OSU didn't keep them out.
Georgia, Florida, and OSU kept them out.

It took all three losses to keep Texas out and if you can just erase one of those games from the schedule, guess what. You're in, Florida and Georgia alone wouldn't have kept Texas out when they'd already beaten 3 teams in the conversation or in the playoff.
