Longhorns to steer away from record loss
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — It's being called "Rout 66" and the "Massacre at Royal-Memorial Stadium."
Two days after the Texas Longhorns were humiliated 66-3 by UCLA, coach John Mackovic didn't know whether to show the game film to his players or burn it.
"There are times you want to show the players and say, 'Here are your mistakes,' Mackovic said. "Other times you just want to throw the film in the wastebasket and say, 'We can't learn anything from this.'"
One thing's for sure — every team
left on Texas' schedule will want the film of the second-worst overall loss and worst home defeat in the 105-year history of Texas football.
Answering critics who are blaming Mackovic for failing to motivate the team for Saturday's game, the coach said, "I try to share as much, when we win, with other people. But the bottom line is the buck stops here. That final responsibility always rests on the shoulders of the head coach.
"I think others are responsible to the head coach, the assistant coaches and players. They are responsible to carry out their part of
it. But the highest responsibility is always the head coach, and I accept that. I'm very disappointed. It hurts personally," he said.
Mackovic said he told the team all week that UCLA was much better than its 0-2 record and he had made a priority of winning all the team's games in September.
The Longhorns (1-1) have been early-season disappointments in six years under Mackovic, going 10-10-3 in nonconference games.
There was a sense among UCLA players that the Longhorns were overconfident.
"They didn't seem to think we
were any good," Bruins linebacker Danian Magee said.
Once UCLA (1-2) turned two Texas turnovers into touchdowns in a 20-second span and went up 24-0 early in the second quarter, the Longhorns went into shock, Longhorns center Ryan Fiebiger said.
The Longhorns now have two weeks to think about the school's worst loss since a 68-0 defeat against the University of Chicago in 1904, when touchdowns counted for only five points.
Texas has an off-week, then plays at Rice on Sept. 27.

MU fans annoy more than one loyal Jayhawk
To Scott Corcoran:
The trip turned out to be the most life-threatening experience I've ever had.
Finally! Someone who can relate to the supreme rudeness of the students in Columbia! I knew of the rivalry, yet I went to Hearnes Center last year as an unassuming freshman going to see a basketball game with my friends.
MU fans are the most disrespectful people I've ever seen! Their repulsive behavior started when we showed up an hour before the game only to find two other people waiting in line to get in.
We were verbally and physically assaulted AFTER MU had won the game. Sheesh, I don't know what would have happened if MU had lost. Every time MU comes to Lawrence I now want to yell "Rock Chalk Jayhawk"
These fans started making fun of Raef LeFrentz's skin and proceeded to trash Ryan Robertson as well. Things got worse after that.
The University needs to start a therapy group for those students who have lived through MU assaults! Thanks for a column I could personally relate to!
F**k Mizzou, but y'know,
that's just not a classy
thing to do, no matter how
much the opponent pisses
me off.

Q: Who rips off "The Kansas City Star" sports columnists?
A: Harley Ratliff
Q: Who is still following the Royals?
A: A few thousand people who live there, were raised in Kansas City and regard the Royals as their home team regardless of its performance. I guess you wouldn't know about that though.
