Lol.
We don't care what anyone in the SEC thinks about us. You're all beneath us as far as we're concerned. I'm glad you troglodytes exist so we could get out of the Big 12, but it's a marriage of convenience. We bring eyeballs and TV ratings. You bring television money and a regional obsession with football that lifts the SEC to prominence. I'm grateful we're members of the SEC, but I loathe every program in it other than Vanderbilt.
But sure. Show me what real insufferability is. I can hardly wait!

We beat you twice last year. Neither win was in Athens. This year you come to Athens. Good luck.

It was in 2005 against the unbeatable USC.

Stick to the OP, this is pretty lame

Well, a generation is defined as 20 years, so we are coming up on the end of the first generation.

I think it’s fair to say Texas is currently in the beginning of their “Mark Richt era”
Very solid teams, probably gets some favorable scheduling, and still drops to some teams they probably shouldn’t but expected to compete for championships each season.
Someone Sark has to take that era and turn it into a Kirby Smart/Nick Saban era.
I don’t believe we will see a run like Saban’s in the future with the amount of money being pumped into NIL and athletes.
I’m just happy Texas is actually fun to watch again.

For entertainment purposes, sure. It's why I'm on here. I love all the whining and ranting about Texas on here. I like to think we're a gift to the rest of the SEC, because all you Deliverance style moonshine swillers can bond together about how much you want to see Texas fail.
You're welcome.

Sure. Say goodbye to that long home winning streak. Breaking home winning streaks is kind of our specialty. It will be fun to put another notch on that belt.

Which one of OU of 2023, Washington in the semifinal, Georgia 2x, or Ohio State in the semifinal fits that description?
Mark Richt wishes he had Sarkisian's level of success the last two years. He did win two SEC titles, but other than that he was a decent coach and decent person who didn't accomplish all that much. Which is why they tossed him out when the chance to hire Kirby Smart came up.

So, what you're saying:
"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....".

And it's fun to watch fans peacock around from a big hat, no cattle football program. It's quite amusing. Thanks for the entertainment.

A couple top 10 teams with no hardware is better?
Georgia would have gone to the playoffs 3-5 times under Richt if it had existed then.

Not sure but I think the Computer finally became available at homes that year too.

Hard to determine if Texas or Texas A&M are the biggest underachievers
No it’s not really. Texas has squandered far more resources and talent than A&M could conceive of. Multiply Jimbo’s failure by 2 decades and we’re starting to get into what Texas has done

I'm always amazed at people who tie their identity to how many national championships their team has won. We're better than you regardless. Especially LSU.
You’re better than another program by not possessing the main entity that determines who is the best program? i.e. National championships?
Interesting.

Id be here for a week trying to explain how great USC was, a month trying to construct how great that Texas team was and beautiful that season and natty game was
But the time we beat LSU in bowl game when they had the great Saban is much quicker and easier
