That is quite the poignant reality right there, and perhaps the most damning of all testimonies against UT Athletics. Something most of us overlooked - but something that tells the whole story on Texas in a nutshell.


Mizzou spent 89 years in the Big 8 before Texas came along. It took just 15 years of them being around to make us want out.

This is why we don't want to play the longhorns anymore ... you don't do business with snakes like this, and an OOC series is a huge business deal.

So rag all you want, we learned our lesson. We've had to do business with them for over a century. Consider our contractual obligation over.

IF Saban goes to t.u., the rest of the SEC would marginalize him by not scheduling the tsips. But that's all y'all's call... we're not here to tell you what to do, that kind of attitude resides in Austin.

All those longhorn fans around town that once made fun of my aggies because we sucked. They are all changing who they are "Fans" of.

Nose in the air and their shite don't stink. Even Baylor has made them look bad. A fickle fanbase that only cares about themselves. Nothing better than to watch their stadium empty out during a game.

Does Alabama take a higher cut of conference revenue based upon their TV schedule? No. Does Alabama speak publicly to the press about the negatives of other member universities? No. Is Alabama the devil? No.

We've lived with UTa. If you think Alabama is bad, it's because you haven't had to live in the same house with Texas.

This is why I have a soft spot for you Aggies. Y'all hate Texas as much as we do, and there probably isn't another fanbase that can say that. OU thinks they do, but both of our fanbases know that's bullshite.
































































But frick the Spurs.

Yeah, it's easy to forget that Arkansas vs. Texas was a big game back in the day. But playing them every year wasn't worth keeping them as business partners.

That's really the shame of the whole thing. It's a great game that the state of Texas lost when the two flagship schools stopped playing each other.

But it just ain't worth it to keep consorting with such a shady business partner

To this day Arkansas vs. Texas will bring the house down. I think it was '09 when we played them in basketball at the bud. We were unranked and I believe they were top 10. I thought the ceiling was going to cave in. I don't think the Bud has been that loud since then.

I know I'm not supposed to take joy in the misfortunes of others, but in this case I'm rationalizing it by hating the Institution that is UT.

I won't waste any more hate on them, but I sure as well won't try to stop them from fricking up anything they do as of late.

Bama is nowhere near what Texas is ... Bama is not destructive to the rest of the conference. Bama is, and let's admit this, the standard bearer for the conference lately, despite some of their more nefarious fans' reputations.

Texas is a pox to everyone around them. Bama has never done anything to disintegrate or otherwise try to destroy the SEC for their own selfish reasons.
