Link: Mack Brown again finds a way to reference Colt McCoy injury

Hahaha...every single time I see him on the air he does this. Admittedly, they were discussing an injured QB, but really?
I was going to give Mack a pass, until he completely dismissed the moderator's praise for Gilbert's performance. He could have taken the high road and simply, if even only lightly, agreed with the remark. Instead he quickly reminded everyone that Gilbert had 4 turnovers.
What's the Germans got to do with this?
(to quote a famous movie)Seems like Coach Mack still is hurting in his posterior area.
I WON'T give him a pass because:
a) there's no comparison between losing a QB at the END of a season when you're in a title game and losing one in the FIRST GAME of the season.......besides, Oklahoma lost Troy Aikman as their QB and went on to win a national title that same year in 1985; better yet, Colorado lost Darian Hagan during the title game in 1990 and still won the championship.
b) he could have played Gilbert in a bunch of their blowout wins that year, but he didn't; Gilbert threw 26 passes in 2009 prior to throwing 40 against us - and Texas won seven games by over 30 points, so......it's Mack's fault
c) I would have worked in a reference to "well, this could make a huge difference because in all honesty, Oklahoma losing Sam Bradford in the opener (e.g. relevant) to BYU in 2009 might well have cost them the Big 12 title" - indeed, that's a perfect reference with him sitting there to say it FIRST and all but dare him to bring up Colt
d) the announcer then went on to say that Gilbert played well and Mack agreed, though he did acknowledge four turnovers.....except Gilbert didn't play well at all. He was 15 of 40 for 186, 2 TDs, 4 INT - and 72 of those yards came on two plays, TD tosses to Shipley.
So no, he gets no pass from me. If this were the title game and he referenced it, I'd admit he had a point - but seriously, this is insane.
I didn't watch the video above,but......
They baited Mack Brown into it again during the half of the West Virginia game. He mentioned Gilbert. Hahaha I forgot about that little kid.

Mack's an idiot. I tried watching about 30 minutes of the coaches broadcast during the OSU game on Thursday. Mack was hoging the mike, talking over and down to the other coaches. You could tell he thought he was the smartest guy in the room. Plus, he just sucks at commentary and I don't understand what ESPN likes in him.
