I've always been of a mind that the vaunted Texas ego is only half arrogance and the other half is a deep, deep insecurity about how the rest of the world views them.

As for their football program, since choking away the 1977 NC against the domers in the Cotton Bowl, they are on their 5th coach. In the 36 years since the 1977 season, they've finished in the top 5, seven times but four of those were during their 04-08 run. The rest of the time, they've been predominately mediocre and irrelevant nationally. Yet they truly believe that it is their manifest destiny to be a perennial top 5 team.

NF gets it 100% right. The best thing Nick Saban has ever done is pop their bubble and send them back to their historical norm.

Congrats to TCU for their 2nd mythical national title in 5 years
As legitimate as any awarded in that time or in a few weeks.

And screw the B1G for blocking the 8-team playoff that would have finally given college football a legitimate, undisputed title every year.

Which would be true right up to the moment when there were nine teams with one loss by the beginning of December.

By reading the Shag, you'd think that Meyer had slapped their children.

Not sure why the disdain for the man....? I figured they would pull for any coach that would beat Saban. Also what's with the TCU coat-tail riders?
I don't give a shit if you think TCU would have won - they didn't make it. Tough tity. I was always under the belief that tOSU fanbase and the UT fanbase
were very similar in their passion and size but that there was also a mutual respect due to the awesome games we've had. Apparently I guessed wrong?

It would be nice to schedule a home and away again with them, very soon.

I don't give a [Mark May] if you think TCU would have won - they didn't make it. Tough tity. I was always under the belief that tOSU fanbase and the UT fanbase

its them combined with their dislike for the unruly segment of our fan base.

To this day I get shit from UT fans about their treatment in Columbus. Part of it was the dark side of every fanbase that doesn't know how to act... but part of it was that they weren't treated like conquering royalty.

And I'm sure they get offended at the mere suggestion that they're just ordinary fans and deserve no special treatment.

I was at that game and never saw any of this "mistreatment". Obviously I couldn't see everything everywhere, but what I did see was groups of Texas fans pushing their way through anything or anybody in their way. I think most of them that still complain 10 years later are just giant fucking vaginas at this point...

Can you imagine how insufferable P&R would be if they were good? It works so well because they have to be self-deprecating (and there'd be none of that with success)

They've convinced themselves that they're Michigan and we're Barry Switzer's Oklahoma if that helps.
Never mind that Texas doesn't have Michigan's academic rankings (though they believe they do), and are generally in the same tier as Ohio State. Never mind that OU isn't even in that discussion.
It's funny b/c even with tatgate we don't have half the violations they imagine - and last I checked Michigan was the one caught paying players (Fab4)
And for all the talk of thugs etc., last I checked it was Strong that had to kick half their players off the team this year. I guess all ours are just in hiding or something... oh and Cardale Jones tweet shows he's the equivalent of Buster Rhymes and it's only a matter of time until he starts brandishing uzis and stealing cars.

The entitlement and butt hurt is strong over there. :popcorn:

That may have been the first time they ever traveled to a game at someone else's place that had a following close to or bigger than their own, with the exception of Nebraska, where the fans have a reputation for being nice. The SWC was all Texas schools and Arkansas, and the old Big XII combo of Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Colorado, Oklahoma State and Iowa State is hardly a murderer's row of hostile fanbases. They play Oklahoma at a neutral site.

I never say never about anything, but they're a LONG ways away. They have no playmakers on offense, no QB, a '13 scUM-esque OL, and they're losing their best defenders. On top of that, they're bleeding recruits to Aggy, TCU, and Baylor. And while I think Skrong is a solid coach, I don't know that he's the dynamic leader they need to drag them out of the quicksand.

Recruiting is the root of their problems. When they had their run last decade, TCU, Baylor, and Aggy were all also-rans. Mack was as good a recruiter as their was in the country. Aside froma few defectors to OU and LSU, by and large, they hoarded the talent in Texas. Something happened after bammer spanked that ass. Mack lost his mojo. Plus, Baylor and Aggy hired dynamic coaches with sexy systems. TCU moved up from a mid-major conference. Since then, Texas has fallen to a distant 4th in their own state.

They need a dynamic coach to get Texas kids to buy into that program again. I don't think Charlie Skrong has it in him.

they have a good class this year.. but its mostly FL kids... which is all good except they live in a state that has just as good players...

A lot of Texans don't like Strong for the obvious reason.
But, they love their football and would accept him if he makes them a winner again!
Texas is loaded with enough talent to make a purely Texas team a national contender.
He should be able to accomplish that easily enough if the Texas people support him fully.
But that's a big question right now.
