Mack Brown

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

Does anyone think that Mack will coach again (even before 2020)?  And at what level?  Going from making big bucks to $500k would be reason enough to justify it IMO.

I doubt it, unless he's $20mil in the whole on real estate deals.

his house burned down 

@WestAustinAg  13h
Fire burns down Mack Brown's home in North Carolina. Had just moved his Texas memorabilia there. Now all gone.

Sounds very therapeutic for someone who was never appreciated when at the place all that lost memorabilia was made/earned.

[slobber]

Mack probably owns 4 houses in NC, he may not even be certain which house burned down. My hopes are that it turns out to be the one that is setting empty of people and memorabilia, otherwise, you know there was some sweet ass LHCBS letters and what not that also perished.

[Cartierfor3]

That is very bad news.

wasn't me guys

Those Texas boosters are thorough.  Loads of attention to detail.

fire is the worst.

Insurance can't bring back memories, but they can give you boat loads of money for crap that was of no actual monetary cost to you, in Mack's case.

I went to a garage sale at Coach Z's house (former UMKC MBB coach) and he had probably 100+ warmup out fits and practice jerseys for sale, maybe 20 basketballs, and who knows how many other logo shirts. 

I bet Mack had a ton of that crap.


I bet he had a bunch of really random, but rare, treasures.  Like, I bet he had putters made from obscure materials, or like vintage guns that were fired at the Alamo, and stuff.  Maybe a lock of Darrell Royal's hair, or a mounted Jackalope.  Who knows?

Game balls from all kind of TX'ey games that were paid for by the school or NCAA and had signatures of his past players/coaches.  Stuff that would sell for a crazy amt at alumni auctions that he simply picked up on his way out of the office that night.

Rings paid for by others for winning a game that he got a bonus for playing in/winning too.

Jerseys, letters, videos, etc.

All stuff he got while also collecting his salary. 

Can you imagine?  doing your job, ppl thinking it is awesome and paying good money for random scraps/leftovers from that job. 

If I was a coach, I would fill my house with this crap and sell it off as needed to fund any whim I had during retirement. 

Kid get married and now your yacht isn't big enough?  eff it, I would sell Vince's cleats and the pic I took with Ricky when we first brought him to campus for a visit.

Hope he didn't lose all his Bass tackle

I would pay $$$$ for Bill's hand written note to Mack after 39-14.

That's our Mack!

You obviously never played on a single organized team that actually meant a crap to you.  None of that stuff had any monetary value to Mack, you know why, actually you rough ridin' don't.  It was priceless.  Considering this post, you don't have a single piece of memorabilia to your name that is worth anything, to anyone.

I have a million things from my playing days, they are not worth crap monetarily.  To me, they are the world and more.  Don't bring this crap here and now.  There are things more valueable and important than money, you piece of crap.  This is a rant about someone who I feel for, who lost something that is more important than money, memories and passion.  Go ahead and say it was worth money to sell, for anyone who has been apart of something special or bonding, like sports, this is if you were robbed of everything you own.

A jar containing Chris Simms appendix, an old index card reminding him to put Major Applewhite in the game and nine five-star recruits he accidentally misplaced over the years that got boxed up in the move.

They're just things, good grief

I bet he could get some pretty good money for that van.

[pissclams]

i'm going to keep an eye on this thread.  cns casey if you get out of hand again with your capitalist bullshit you're going to face the ban hammer.  mack brown deserves more respect than what you're showing him.  not everything has a price tag and profit margin.

for now i think the thread is safe in big train's hands.  but i'll check back from time to time. don't worry, i've got this one jotted down in my mod notes.
