Then how has OU been so good?
OU donors aren’t insane in the same way as Texans with money. The entire “everything is bigger in Texas” ain’t just a motto, some of them actually believe it despite ample evidence to the contrary. Oklahoma money is sane, they do not have to front like a Texan with money. Like Texas OU has also played about 7-8 Vandy type programs every year of their existence.

You are 100% correct it is only part of the reason Texans have a inferiority complex and cover it with braggadocio The biggest reason Texans have an inferiority complex and cover it with braggadocio is because they almost universally are the spawn of people who could not make it where they were originally from and drifted toward Texas like so many unrooted Russian Thistles (tumbleweed for the less educated) and, unable to take root and do any better anywhere else wound up in Texas as the last possible place on the planet they hadn't already failed in. Thats goes for almost everyone in Texas except Hispanic folks who have tolerated the invasion for a couple of hundred years. As has happened with the downtrodden and unwashed masses throughout the history of man if they ever stumble back assward into progress, through no effort of their own because they have proven incapable of making it on their own merit, will arrive at the conclusion that they did it on their own. This happened when oil was discovered in Texas. Through absolutely no effort other than failing miserably to scratch out a living elsewhere Texans became residents of a state with an ungodly fortune of natural resource that no one knew, especially Texans, was anything other than a nuisance. Deep in their DNA they know what they are, they put up a front as people who know they are inadequate are wont to do, to mask their insecurity. They are akin to a gang member killing someone because they stepped on their shoe....all they have in the world is their inflated self image, baseless as it is.
quote:
All coaches have to manage donor egos. No one can manage a Texans ego. They can’t handle it themselves, they ain’t having none of anyone else doing it. Only in Texas can a small town coffee shop sale $100k guns. That actually exists. There are more exotic animals in private ownership in Texas than anywhere on the planet….they own them to shoot them. Texans with money ain’t normal rich people….aint nobody managing those people’s egos. ATM is in the same boat.

So exactly what IS the reason you all have underachieved?

I already said it. Coaching hires are a crap shoot and Texas hasn’t had any killers since DKR. Mack was a very good coach but had the misfortune of being owned by Stoops and then ran into Saban the GOAT in 2009.
So, the question is, why do some programs hire killers at a higher rate than others? In Texas’s case I honestly think it’s because our leadership historically didn’t care how good we were, relative to the brass at other schools.
And from their perspective, I think that’s a totally rational approach: if you’re top 2 in revenue, who gives a shite if you win a title. You’re already winning where it matters. The rest is all for show.

I don’t think any Longhorn fan would argue with anyone about not performing up to expectations based on resources. Yet most of us would also say we like where we are and where we are headed. Also it is an honor to be in a position to have the expectations that are put on The University of Texas. Nobody would have that conversation about Vandy the school of the original poster. If you make a bowl game you exceeded expectations. Consider the list of schools that would be high-fived for finishing in the top ten. We have the expectations in all sports. We like where we are at as a blue blood which is clear that we are based on the expectations and animosity. Tennessee was on cloud nine to win the CWS. We expect to play for championships. I that sport we have been to Omaha more times than most programs have made a regional. Watch PGA golf on Sunday and see who the number one golfer in the world reps. Check the Olympics and medal counts by school. Stanford had an incredible showing. The only other school to win the Directors Cup. The expectations and attention are genuinely a compliment regardless of intentions. I am looking forward to how things shake out as we continue to compete in the SEC. I say continue because we had solid wins against the cream of the conference. And played a historically good LSU team to the final play. Actually we were really close to sweeping the face of the SEC in Alabama. Give Bryce Young all the credit in the world for the come back. Looking forward to see this conference excel as a whole as CFB continues to evolve.

The problem with Texas is leftism. Austin is just a hot and humid version of Berkeley

They also had more NCAA violations than most schools without consequences. Oh… and check out their results against Texas. Enjoy : ) (referring to OSU comment)

Austin is a liberal hole. And UTrans is a liberal pit in that hole.

Texas has a complex history. They were the last all white team to win a national championship and were viewed as a racist school in the 70’s by a lot of non-white athletes which had to effect recruiting. Not sure if that carried over to the 80’s but teams like OU and other national powers were getting a lot of Texas best athletes. You could argue OU was really a Texas school with so many key positions. Over the last decades it sounds like the rich Texas boosters had too much say on coaching hires.
Regardless, I think Mack Brown and Sark show Texas has the ability to go from down-and-out to contender as fast as anyone. Its just the right coach pushing the buttons. But, Texas is still like 4th all-time national championship overall sports program so it’s not the end of the world.

Miami should be a lot better than what they've been for years. It's crazy how bad Miami has been with access to elite talent in Florida. Miami has won 10 games in a year ONCE in 20 years.
