Mack Daddy

Before he guided Texas to the national championship in 2005, Mack Brown had to hear about how he couldn’t beat Oklahoma. Fraud, the Texas fans called him. But he’s always played second fiddle. First, it was growing up with his brother Watson and then it was losing early on to Bob Stoops. But Brown has practically owned the Sooners lately, despite beating them last year and getting screwed out of another chance to play for national title. Now he and the Horns are knocking on the door again as they prepare for their showdown Thursday with Alabama. Brown still has something to prove. This time he’ll try to prove he can match wits with the workaholic named Nick Saban.
