Is the University of Texas at Austin too liberal to be good at football?

We have seen what has happened to historic programs like USC and UCLA. There is a point where any emphasis on sports(especially a sport like football), is demonized by the extreme left. They believe focusing on football is barbaric and beneath them. This line of thinking is present everywhere but I would argue is way more prevalent at a place like Texas.

No, they’re just soft

Fans running wild holding up sex toys at some kind of rally equals soft football.
Plus having 25 mini Jerry Jones running the show holds Texas down.

Austin has always been full of purple haired weirdos. They have been good before. It's not the city.

Nick Saban is a good friend with moderate liberal Joe Manchin. Assuming that is indicative of his political leanings - considering he did an ad for him - does that mean GMac is right and Saban is underachieving due to soft liberalism?!

Well I have thought this may be going on for some time. It depends on if the "liberalness" bleeds into the football program. I'm not sure if that has happened yet. I thought that may have happened to Missouri. But again, maybe not yet. But the farther left these campuses shift, the less they care about football. Texas alums still care about football.

Isn't Athens a deep blue turdbowl just like Austin?
Georgia seems pretty good.

I have had thoughts along this same line. These far left, progressive and woke places tend to have a culture shift when it comes to football, especially.
How many years has it been since any of the west coast teams have been relevant? Washington and Oregon have been in the four team playoff. Oregon did make it to the CG in 2014.

There’s a reason the state of Texas in general has struggled with relevancy. Arrogant in mediocrity is a hard position to rise from.

They are softer than hell.

Listen, they won’t be able to insulate the football program from campus culture forever. The student body and faculty is what makes them who they are.
Their donor pool now is large and healthy, but it will age out in the next couple decades or so. Their millennial grads and younger simply will not care anywhere near as much as the Gen X and Baby Boomers have. It’s just a matter of time before the football program is an afterthought, and it will be by choice.

Put BAMA or tOSU in the middle of the BIG 12 - 4, and have everyone in every other conference negative recruit against them including ESPN and every news outlet and see how well they do...That is what Texas has been dealing with the last 10 years with really crappy coaching to boot..
ESPN has wanted Texas in the SEC for years now because of their investment, and they would do anything to sabotage them and make them make a move..

1/2 their student base won't be in attendance of the games or travel worth a shite. Too busy complaining about something

ITs a factor for sure. I heard their football players have to take “sensitivity classes.

Well, they've never really been good at football so yes...

Well, they haven't won the weakest conference in football in a long time.

The simple answer is if you get a dominant football coach and assistants all the wimpy liberal and progressive crap melts away...The players either get tough or don't play...

Liberalism and sports do not mix.
Just look at the Olympics now.
All the left is praising a girl gymnast who couldn't handle the competition and quit.

The crazies don't dictate the athletic budget.
Our problem has been either poor coaching hires or something in the water that turns respected coaches into retards. I thought Charlie Strong would at least be an okay coach. Most everyone thought Tom Herman was the best young coach available at the time.
Now I'm hoping Sark is going to be a great redemption story.
