(1) Vince Young is amazing and pushed UT over the edge for that national championship, but he alone was not the reason for UT's success. Over the last 8 years Texas has had the BEST record in all of college football. (See record below). We are not one amongst 30 competitive programs, rather we are the CREAM OF THE CROP among the 30 programs.

(2) I hate professional sports. There is no passion, little loyalty, and a massive disconnect between the players and fans. Wow, the NBA playoffs lasts 2 months with half of the teams in the forray. While teams move because professional sports is a business, I know UT will always be in Austin.
