Conspiracy theories. History shows that this is no conspiracy theory. As I said in the game thread at halftime, just wait. The refs will get involved and make this a game

Snakey could not afford for his "golden child" to be blown out like was happening. Snakey and UTrans are the perfect fit for one another.


If anything, history has shown that the SEC officials have an inherent bias in favor of the conference front runner and the team most likely to compete for the national championship. Going into that game, it was Texas. In recent years, it has been Alabama. That doesn't mean anyone is paying off the officials.

But the fans don’t fit in on the message board, apparently the gameday experience is very un-SEC from everything I hear… it’s just a bad fit.


Texas' game day experience is very corporate. It's nothing like what you'll find at LSU, Bama, Ole Miss, UGA, etc. It's more like an NFL game than a college football game, but part of that is because their campus is located just north of downtown Austin. People tailgate in surface parking lots and parking garages.

wish they could go back. They do not belong and we don’t want them here.


I agree, but I feel the same about Aggie, OU and Mizzou. I also initially felt the same way about Arky, but they've settled in nicely with the rest of the SEC. I understand wanting more revenue for the conference, but is it worth it if ends up being bad for the charter member schools?

They pay the refs and are arrogant about it.

Ultimately, it did not work at all.

You kidding? Baseball season can’t get here soon enough. I don’t think we’ll be in the top half of the league this year, but man is it going to be fun.

Same for Jimbo hire and the Jimbo extension. Nothing fans could do about it.

I’m not much of a baseball fan. Once college football season ends, I pretty much check out till the fall.

Check it out this spring. You might be surprised. If you think this conference is elite at football, baseball’s next level.
