Wrong glass, Sir.
I only refuse to make that analogy because they so desperately want to be considered tsun's academic peer, but in football I'd say yes. TSUN has had more consistent relevance, but tejas has won a few championships. And both, quite notably, had an actual retarded person at quarterback.

LMAOO that quote actually makes it sound like Titty Bar Tom is a perfect match and completely on brand.

I think TTUN's program is more closely resembled by the orange team with the checkerboard and that Rocky Top tune. They're also having a rough 21st century.

The third de-commitment from Texas in just eight days. Titty Bar Tom having a rough time down in Austin. You just hate to see it.....

Man, these “commitments” are a bit too much like marriage in today’s society.

What makes them falling apart even more delicious, is Tom Herman was nearly universally seen as a homerun hire. Texas simply is a second-tier program that happened upon two generational talents at QB that led them to perform well above their historical mean during a very nice 5-6 year run. They're an 8-5/9-4 program.

All that is true, but there really isn’t a good reason that UT couldn’t be a powerhouse. With the in state talent and money they have, there ought to be a way to make the program shine.

Just some quick facts:
UT 2004-2009 with Vince Young and Colt McCoy at QB:
69-9, 0.885, 5-1 Bowls, 6x Top 25, 5x Top Ten, 5x Top Five, 1 National Championship, Played for one other
UT 2010-2019 (post Young/McCoy):
68-55, 0.553, 3-2 Bowls, 2x Top 25, 1x Top Ten, 0x Top 5, Zero Championships of any kind.
That includes four losing seasons and three where they missed bowls.
UT 1984-2003 (20 years pre Young/McCoy)
151-86-3, 0.635, 5-8 Bowls, 10x Top 25, 2x Top Ten, 0x Top 5, 4 Conference Championships
That includes six .500 or worse seasons, and seven where they missed bowls.
Also, keep in mind, Oklahoma was down for a decade of that time pre-Bob Stoops.
Remove that six year window with a pair of great QBs from the last 35 years, and they're 219-141-3, 0.607...an average of (roughly) 8-5.

There is...recruit all-timer QBs.
But, yea, I agree; they are at the top of the heap when it comes to underachieving CFB programs. It just seems there's too much internal dysfunction to overcome.
