I'm thinking it's either aggie Berry really complaining about Gundy not getting any recognition, but that argument is too homer to be taken seriously by anyone outside of Stoolwater or he's auditioning for an ESPN gig. Although honestly and w/o my crimson & cream glasses on, Gundy is possibly as deserving as any you mentioned. Just quit beating around the bush and say it.
2. OU’s Bob Stoops and Tech’s Mike Leach were voted co-coaches of the year. Huh? How could the coaches possibly not include Texas’ Mack Brown in that group, if not elevate him to solo status as coach of the year? UT in the preseason was picked second in the South, but the ‘Horns were considered a lot closer to the pack than they were to the favored Sooners.
Texas was 11th in the AP preseason poll, one spot ahead of Tech, and well behind OU and Missouri. From third in the Big 12 pecking order to third in the current BCS, yet Brown gets no love from his colleagues.
The Big 12 coaches sent a clear message about Mack Brown. I’m not sure what that message is, but it’s disappointing. Mack Brown and staff have done a better coaching job than Stoops and staff in 2008. The evidence is clear. I'll answer that last one for you Berry. They don't approve of Mack's whining and to a lesser extent they don't approve of the Austin Mafia Officiating. BTW, Berry if you're going to elevate Mack Brown to solo coach of the year then why not Mike Leach over Mack? Also Berry before you whine any more about the coach's vote, clean up your own house so the AP vote for COY and BIG 12 POY/1st Team, 2nd team etc are public. Why don't you release your vote in your column tomorrow? I'd like to know if you voted Sam or Pony Boy POY and Mack Brown COY. http://blog.newsok.com/berrytramel/2008/12/03/coaches-all-big-12-very-interesting/
