AUSTIN -- Back in the day, Mack Brown was almost a one-man commercial for the Red River Showdown, setting the stage for the week to come.
Even the normally low-key Charlie Strong understood that things changed the week leading up to the meeting with Oklahoma.
If Tom Herman is concerned about making a statement at the Cotton Bowl against Texas' biggest rival or avoiding being the first Longhorns' coach to start 0-2 against Oklahoma since David McWilliams, it wasn't showing Monday during his press conference.
Nothing will change this week, Herman said, about a meeting that has been known to produce seismic shifts for either team.
