Texas Longhorns (big hat, no cattle; please don’t Horns Down us)

At this point Texas Tom is the pure definition of big hAt and no cattle

Man do I wish they would offer Urban the job and a zillion dollars.

To watch the melt down when he said NO would be glorious.

Yet if Ryan Hamby doesn't drop that pass, the Buckeyes win.

I wasn't even mad in 2005, because I had a double or nothing bet with this USC fan that if Texas beat the Buckeyes, they would win the NC , and another bet with a Ntre Ame fan that the Buckeyes would smoke the Irish.

You misunderstand. I think he meant "Back" in terms of back to losing 3+ games a season.

I'll say this again. 2004-2009 was the exception for this massively underachieving program, not the rule. This is who they are. Take away six years with Mack and a great ten (63-73) with Royal, and they have been consistently mediocre since the end of WW2.

Sounds like someone else we know

Last year was almost worth it so that they'd come into this season ranked unrealistically high and then crash back to earth. Well, at least they're taking it well.

gut this fucking thing. time to reboot again. but we better consult with former players from the championship team and do it right this time. fuck this shit. fuck this arrogant shitty fucking coach and all his fucking attitude. he sucks ass, all the top 5 recruiting classes in the world won't help this douchebag

That actually describes a number of programs(scUM, ND, Nebraska, Miami), there are only a few CFB programs that have actually been able to remain consistently successful through numerous decades. The thing is, each one of those fan bases of teams with limited success (yet major success at their time) consider that their team is one coach or one major win away from being "back". CFB will continue to be a haves and have nots now that were in the CFP era, even with expansion that we all know is coming, a majority of the talent is going to the same 4-5 teams, and the rest of ththe country gets the leftovers. We are fortunate to be Buckeye fans

I'd say that all of those programs except Miami have had much longer runs of post-war national relevance than Tejas.

TSUN 69 to mid-2000s 35 years
Domers 40s to the early 90s 50 years (with a 5 year Jerry Faust vacation)
Corn early 70s to early 00s. 30 years

As for us, we've been a consistent, national title contending power since 1952 with one 10 year window (83-92) of irrelevance.

Tejas literally has one 6 year window of being a national power since choking the NC to the domers in 1977.
