Bipolar Bohls
Longtime Austin American Statesman sports columnist Kirk Bohls must be bipolar.
Sometimes, he's the biggest homer you could imagine, and it's like Mack Brown is his dad or something.
Other times, it seems like Mack and crew took a dump on his pet rock.
Today, we get a column that has a little of both:
Mack was already the third-highest paid college football coach in the country behind Louisiana State's Nick Saban and Oklahoma's Bob Stoops. And now that Saban's gone fishing with the Dolphins of the NFL, Mack's No. 2.
But, ahem, that's a position he's used to. [Ouch!]
Wednesday's announcement does raise the question: how big a raise will Mack get if he actually wins something? [ouch!]
In fairness, he's won a lot. Beaten Nebraska four times and Kansas State twice. He owns Texas A&M. He's even won half his bowl games although we won't bring up the other half. He has won a number of big games, just not the biggest ones while failing to win a conference title in 17 seasons at Texas and North Carolina.
Then there's the positive:
Brown is still the consummate recruiter, wins steadily, goes to bowl games and generally brings in Boy Scouts.
Boy scouts? Err, yeah. I hear they just started offering a merit badge in Criminal Trespass.
But see, that's Bipolar Bohls -- blasting Brown one minute, and then overselling him the next. It's strange.

Bohls is the greatest of fair weather fans. Worse still, I hear his pretty boy son- Ryan Bohls - is making a run for public office
