What's the deal with Mack Brown?

So I was watching the game on my laptop (streaming) and I had the volume down so I couldn't hear the announcers. What did Mack Brown say that has Twitter going nuts?

He left to catch a flight in the 3rd quarter.

Loved hearing Mack Brown comment on the game. He provided a lot of insight. Maybe BYUtv could hire the guy so he doesn't have to leave.

That's just weird. Why would you have a guy doing commentary when he can't stay the whole game. Did he think 2 passing teams were going to be able to play the game in 2.5 hours? That's bad planning on ESPN's part.

He's their Saturday halftime guy on ABC broadcasts. If ESPN is going to assign him a western game, they need to do a chartered flight for him to get to Bristol on time.

(FYI: BYU is now 2-0 in games where Mack Brown gives up in the third quarter.)



Funny tweet.

Agree. I didn't like it at all while watching the game. But I have to say the other dude did pretty well on his own.
