re: ATM fans - your Texas brethren really despise you

the hate comes from being their major rival for over a century. we are also the only other program in the state that has had a period of sustained success (80s and 90s).and then we left in a very messy way. in all seriousness, every single one of the 4 texas programs that were in the original big 12 (tu, tech, baylor, and us) all HATE each other. i mean real hate. if you gave tech a chance to kill any one of our programs (a la SMU death penalty) they would probably do it without a second thought. we had a really toxic relationship with all 3 and the fact that we were tu's main competition for such a long time(in terms of on field success and pretty much everything else) just compounds that and thats were the hate come from
