A texas fans opinion

[I See Red People]

*yawn* Man that board is trashy.

Since when does ANYBODY listen to what texas fans have to say?

 

I stopped listening to them after they beat USC in the BCS title game.

 

But i would actually like to know what the record is between NU and UT, does anyone know?

Its actually a little depressing...wins came in '33, '60, '74, and '99. 1-8 since Big 12 play started...they own us. Hope they enjoyed the run.

Bah most of the Texass fans I've encountered throughout life don't know much about football. Sure they know most of the penalties and the rules but they lack understanding of the game itself. They have an attitude of superiority and when they lose they just play it off and still claim to be the best.

 

One word will always sum up Mack Brown coached Texass teams...underachievers. Plain and simple. They load up 5 star qb after 5 star qb (and every other position) but lack the focus/toughness/chemistry to be champions. They have a way of playing down to their competition. Our worst years (02, 07) we challenged them.

My expereince is far different as I encounter Texas fans everyday and most know their football. They certainly have a solid understanding of the game as many enroll their kids in youth leagues starting in 2nd grade. It might be hard for Husker Loyalists to imagine but football is bigger in Texas than in Nebraska (I've lived in both states for 20+ years each). So a typical Texan who has played football starting in 2nd grade all the way through High School (where football is a year round endevor), watches the local High School team on Friday night, roots for UT, aTm, Tech or whoever on Saturday afternoon, and then tunes in for the Cowboys on Sunday, and then might even help coach his son's youth league team...suddenly lacks an understanding of the game itself??? If one still thinks that, read or watch the book/film Friday Night Lights and tell me that Texans don't know their football.

 

There's a reason why every big-time football program (including Nebraska) recuits Texas. It's not just because of the large population, it's because Texas has a large population where football is very much a part of the cultural landscape. The reason some Texans may come across as arrogont is not because they are ignorant about the game itself.

 

Mack Brown's teams may have underachieved in the past but not so much lately. In the past 5 seasons, the Longhorns have won a NC and played for another. They won the Big12 both those years and arguably should have played in a third Big12 playoff in 2008. Hopefully, Nebraska will soon enjoy that kind of success.

Agreed. Most texans are die hard fans. They have been playing very well the pst few seasons. Just bc they have not played up to their potential dont mean that they cant play. Give mack some credit!

 

I agree and disagree at the same time. Diehard fans know their stuff, but because of their recent success you see plenty of "fans" in longhorn hats that have absolutely no clue. Same with the "U" in the 80s or probably NU in the 90s. Not necessarily a bad or good thing, just a bandwagon fan thing. People love to jump on it and pretend they've been rooting for the powerhouses since before they were good for some strange sense of superiority over other fans.

 

Edit: and its one thing to pull in all the top talent. It's another to get it all to work together. It'd be a problem for any coach, but especially one in Texas or Florida. Unless you have leaders they rally around its a bunch of potential stars playing for themselves. USC last season is a prime example IMO.

A probable bandwagon Horns fan talking about delusions and arrogance? Priceless.

 

There are plenty of Texas fans that'd probably give this guy a whoopin', but hey, when on the 'net, right?

 

Still, Nebraska fans have plenty of reason to believe this year and while the frustration from OU seems to have passed to those in burnt orange, it's about time for the tide to turn. This year seems like as good of a time as any.

We have only played them 13 times? That's not much of a record for the Longhorns to be bragging about. But i guess with their ego, they need to take the little things and make them a big deal. That explains the 10 gallon hats.

8 out of 9 wins since the Big 12 was born is a very solid record. They may be loud braggarts, but we need to stay quiet and do something about it on the field.
