Did Brown Take Bloom Off Pasadena Game?

After reading your article on Mack Brown of the University of Texas, I now know what “Don’t mess with Texas” means. If you mess with Texas they will whine, cry, throw a temper tantrum and pout.

Remember, this is the same school that refused to accept their runner-up trophies after Cal State Fullerton beat them twice for the national championship in baseball.

I think the University of Texas needs a reminder of what “class” means in a sports program because it’s clearly lacking.

I’ve watched every Rose Bowl game -- 40 of them in person -- since my father took me to see Alabama play USC in 1946. Thanks to Mack Brown, I’m skipping this year.

Rain is forecast for New Year’s Day for the first time in almost 50 years. Is this a heavenly objection to the BCS for not having a Pac-10 school in the Rose Bowl?

It’s the BCS, all right: “Buddy Coaches Selection!”
