It's going to be fun punking you guys


Yall couldn't even punk the Big 12. OU had 10 more conference titles than you in the same amount of time... UT has 1 more than mighty Baylor.

Are they upset that they beat you twice last year?

Don't flatter yourself too much. That's what I do. People have been complaining about it all my life. Hasn't changed anything.

Like I said already, you're welcome! More of that where that came from. We have an unending supply, and it has little to do with wins and losses. It's just the wins make us that much worse.

You misunderstand me. We don't care what your measurement is. Make the measurement however you want, and whatever you want to make it.

We inherently think we're better than you because We're Texas.

That's regardless of our record, or the number of national championships. But winning makes us so much more intolerable.

Arkansas has also been in the conference for over 30 years.


To be fair, those other 4 schools have been in the conference for a combined 28 years, compared to Arkansas' 33 yrs. So far, it's fair to say Texas, OU, Mizzou and TAMU combined are running about even with Arkansas.

Yes you are right, your current level of success was not good enough for them.

From what I've seen and read they're upset that we think we're the greatest thing since sliced bread, we don't pay proper homage to the kings of the SEC, especially after they beat us twice last year, and we're beating them on the recruiting trail by offering recruits more money, even though Georgia is the better place to play football for all kinds of reasons.

But that's just what I've seen. I'm not an expert on why Georgia fans seem to get so worked up about Texas. I just know they do and I find it super entertaining.

It's more like after 15 years they knew what they had, and they hoped for something better.

Sarkisian is in year 5 and the team has improved every year so far. Hard to know what Texas has in their head coach at this point. But we'll see!

Hey, you guys know better than anyone except maybe the Aggies. This is who we are. We're just starting to acquaint the rest of the SEC how bad it gets.

OU had our number for the most part under Stoops, but the arrogance never goes away. It just makes it that much more fulfilling to beat us, just like it makes it worse to lose to us.

We make a great heel, that's for sure.

They're probably on edge bc at any moment one of their star players might kill someone doing 120mph in their Charger.

Yeah, you're right. It would crush them to see the player suspended for the first half of the Marshall game.

It’s not “our” measurement as SEC fans. It’s the metric determined to crown the best team every year. Believe whatever you want. God knows I couldn’t care less if you want to double down on the little song and dance of being arrogant about your team while you have as many titles as Boston College in the last half century.

Regardless, the metric to determine the best team is national titles and you guys have 1 in the modern era. Spin that however you want, I won’t stop you.

What am I spinning? I'm saying I don't care. We still think we're better. That's how it works. You and I can both not care about each other together. I like it that way.
