When will Texas expectations and pressure start to exist?

Actually aggie with their 8 win average is a heck of a lot better than I ever expected. No reason to think texas can’t do something similar.

This thread reeks of being scared, you scurred bruh?

Don't be scared, we won't win the SEC every year, just most years lolololol

Yes. It is totally absurd that a fanbase celebrate the program’s best year in over a decade after the worst stretch in program history

Dude, they will be as good as Sark makes them. So far, so good. It's a different test for the shorthorns, but the test just got harder for everyone in the SEC also.

Frankly, it's a great time for a 12-team playoff, cause the SEC is gonna need the spots.

I suspect the problem at UT and ATM is based on donor expectations as it is. Not necessarily winning expectations BUT expectation of program access and input. Both schools have a HEAP of new money wealthy alumni...and new money folks, at least a lot of them, are convinced that they are special because they have new money. It is said that any fool can become a millionaire (it'd be a billionaire today) in Texas while it takes a damned genius to make a living in New Mexico (probably said about other border states as well). Those donors are most likely a severe pain in the arse for coaches and ADs - they are at every other school, its easy to imagine there is just more of them at UT and ATM due to the nature of Texans in general. It takes a SPECIAL coach to keep those donors at bay....tact is required and at times even a firm hand. It is doubtful that Sark is that person...his past issues indicate a lack of character which, I think, will prove fatal at Texas. I could be wrong. What is not doubtful is Texas and ATM both have been pretty much mediocre or worse most of their existence while being in a football hotbed...something is amiss. NIL will make those donors, and all schools have them, infinitely worse because coaches no longer can use the "we have to be careful" ploy...everything is acceptable now. The coaches and ADs who manage those donors and their expectations in the NIL era are going to be successful, those who do not possess the character to navigate those issues will not....again, in my opinion.

We won't be "Aggie-like".

Expectations and pressures the same. You have to go through the SEC if you want to win a national championship in football or baseball. That hasn't changed.

If Utx doesn't do REALLY well the first two seasons, they never will. Utx was gifted one of the easiest sec schedules that I can ever remember seeing. They have that schedule for both 24 and 25. If they can't get it done those seasons then they will be in for some real rough times when they actually have to play a real sec schedule.
