The Mack Brown Curse claims another victim
Posted by HenryJames on May 28th, 2009 under Football, Recruiting
This time it’s former Colorado linebacker Lynn Katoa. Texas recruited Katoa, but he never actually made it to campus for an official visit. That’s too bad. For him.
He’s flunked out of Colorado, according to The Buffzone Blog’s Kyle Ringo, after needing to “apply himself, bear down and focus.” Instead he “did just the opposite.”
“If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right.”
That makes Katoa the second Buff linebacker to receive the curse.
One day these guys will learn.

Nordberg,
Ironic indeed……teachable moment, I guess….
NY Horn,
I hope your drunk, because Izzo ain’t coming to Texas……Why don’t we just get Coach K. I mean Coach G came from Duke, they have to be dying to get out of Durham….

Egg, that’s fine, but at what point do you blame Barnes? Seriously, man. You’ve thrown players under the bus left and right, but at a certain point, doesn’t the buck stop somewhere. I know you’re more of an NBA guy so it begins and ends with players there, but we need fucking

Trips,
I hear ya. I’m frustrated as well. I guess I just don’t prescribe to such a black and white characterization of the situation. I do know that no matter what happened in the huddle, JCB made a dumb play. If Rick didn’t explain or remind him of the situation, then I

Pat, know I don’t, but I’ve had coaches draw up plays to free up the best foul shooter and then tell that guy they’d put their foot up his ass if they passed the ball. It’s funny, but as a fans of football we nitpick blitz pickup and shit like that. Shit that’s

Trips,
Do you know that he didn’t? JCB has made bad decision all season, why would this be any different. Barnes coached a shitastic game, but on the teams I was the best FT shooter, I never game up the ball unless it was an uncontested layup…..It’s not hard and it doesn’t take a

mcpayne, yes, you don’t leave that shit to chance. You don’t let your guys break the huddle or dead ball not knowing precisely what’s expected from them. Barnes doesn’t get 2 mil for coaching PE where he’s hoping the right guy gets fouled.

uthookem commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread 1 hour, 10 minutes ago
mpayne, I’d agree with you if J’Covan had been playing all season and had been in situations to make that decision. Like, you know, against Baylor, when he played all of 3 fucking minutes thanks to rick.
So yes, it is rick’s fault.

Trips Right commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread 1 hour, 11 minutes ago
With 15 seconds left, out of a dead ball, most coaches would make it perfectly clear who they wanted to be fouled.

uthookem commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread 1 hour, 13 minutes ago
Stupid decisions by Brown are one of the reasons he sat on the bench for most of the season…lack of coaching maybe, or just a lack of basketball IQ?
Oh well, if Brown doesn’t go off in the 2nd half, we aren’t even playing in OT. Too bad he didn’t get much of a chance

Patrick Bateman commented on the blog post Texas Hoops vs. Wake Forest Open thread 1 hour, 14 minutes ago
Actually, if your a PG and the best FT shooter on the team and played basketball your entire life, you’d pretty much know not to give up the ball if you had any brains…..Such a dumb play…..

Oh, and a stupid decision by Brown in giving up the ball to Johnson.

Be nice if we’d coached our 90 percent foul shooter not to give the ball up.

The line kills us, as it should have.
Fuck Rick Barnes, as this was the worst coaching I have seen in all my years of watching UT sports.
This saved us from Kentucky, but I feel bad for Damo, he was a hell of a Longhorn.
Hook ‘em!
And FUCK RICK BARNES!

Let’s do a statistical analysis to show that the percentage of kids who flame out is no higher if they left Mack hanging than if they were never recruited by Mack at all. On ther hand never mind, just assume it’s true.

That whole curse thing isn’t real, is it?
Eskimohorn said:

Here’s what my findings have shown-
Likeliness of decommiting from Mack Brown = (Duschebaggery x illegal benefits given to family + level of attention desired)
Therefore, the players that decommit from Mack (who’s a stand-up coach) will usually be of low moral fiber and not successful D1 players. There’s no curse. It’s all scientific.
Now, this formula does not apply to players that switch from another school to UT. These players are usually lied to (Simms, Okam) by disreputable coaches and gravitate towards Mack Brown.
Likeliness of decommitting and then committing to UT = (Duschebaggery of coach x Pi/Player knowing what Pi is).

What does that say about us as a society if we still believe in spells and curses! Its all a bunch of “hocus-pocus” if you ask me! Its 2009-not 1748-you all should be ashamed of yourselves! Snap out of it!

You’ve got Donovan McNabb pointing his fingers to the sky, you’ve got Eli & Peyton with these lion grins on their faces. There’s Cole Hamels singing “Blame It on the Alcohol”,Tom Brady holding his little good luck dog, Tiger woods praying to the ground-preposterous! What has gotten into the Wide-eyed World of Sports! Its crayzy. Are we all that paranoid? We’re all adults. There’s a perfectly logical and rational reason for some of the bizarre events that have taken place. Listen to the voice of reason. Please listen. Curses and spells and magic-point blank-probably does not exist. Telekinesis? Different story. Get ahold of yourselves, America!

How low the curse pulls you is proportional to how high your talent level really is. Peterson was truly elite, so the curse could only do so much damage. Lesser lights such as Perrilloux feel its effects much more harshly.
