Holy crap, someone actually thought this was a good idea.

At least the Blazing Saddles gif from LSUfreek was funny. This is just tasteless.

The dumpster fire continues. Last week they miss an extra point that would've put the game into OT. This week their punter lets a perfectly good snap sail through his hands with under a minute to go and let's Okie St kick the game winner.

Do they need a full time special teams coach?

 
Y'all ready for this? Want to know why Texas lost, according to their fans?

BAD OFFICIATING. That's right, it's the REF's fault.

Good thing they've NEVER been on the other side of that and gotten the benefit of bad refs, amirite?

 
I actually don't mind Texas for some reason but how does one of the richest programs with great recruiting opportunities only have a handful of top 5 finishes in the last 30-40 years?

Several reasons.

1. Rivals, the primary evaluator of HS talent, artificially inflates Texas "Star Ratings" their owner is a massive horn and likes to pump their ratings to make them look better

2. The rise of programs like OU, Tech, Baylor, A&M, and TCU always deliver a couple losses each year

3. Talent is not developed once on campus

4. Recruiting suffers due to lack of investment in facilities

5. Game is changing and the current staff at UT is pretty incompetent.
