yes even you Vandy can get in on this

That people who dislike Ohio State fans will talk shite all day long when one of these "stories" comes out, yet when it's refuted not a word is heard from the shite talkers?



It was only refuted by the University in question. The NCAA has verified ESPN's allegations.

No action on this thread? I'm shocked



I'm sorry that I don't give a shite about anything that pertains to OSU.

Earlier in the thread, I agreed to this. I was just arguing the point with another poster about UT's stance within the nation. He tried to say that Miami and USC (of all teams) were 'national brands', but not Texas


I apologize for not reading through the whole thread and picking up on this.

:cheers:

We kind of agree in a roundabout way.
So what you're essentially saying is that people will tune in and watch UT games because of their hatred for UT? Fat chance

The only reason I have any interest in UT right now is because my GF currently goes to school there.

I enjoy watching UT if they are playing OSU or OU but any other weekend and UT isn't even on my radar.

A national brand is bigger than just one program. Notre Dame is the sole exception to this rule and that is due to religious aspects/media hype.

UT is a great program, no doubt, but they are not going to hit their marks if they are independent.

First of all, calm down.


Secondly, just because UT's athletic program generates a ton of money does not mean more people are interested in UT athletics. It simply means they have A LOT of wealthy donors.

I live one state away from UT and have ZERO interest in their athletic program.

I realize that UT is a great program but it's 'brand' is of little interest to people in the Northeast, West and Southeast.

It is what it is. Deal with it

As a Texas fan, I'm increasingly embarrassed by the LHN, and combination of naivity and arrogance of the business side of UT athletics. They are very heavily promoting the Rice-Texas game around Dallas with billboards, radio ads, etc. Like it's some sort of huge game. Please.



You, my friend, get it. Dr. Drunkenstein definitely does not.

Well, if he can't really do it on the field anymore he might as well still try to get his name in papers.



Really?

:casty:
I have to agree. Outside of the state line, Texas is not nearly as powerful as they would like for you to believe. I hope they fail miserably for how they are treating the rest of their conference
