I get you it you don’t like OU, but you sound like a 12 year old when you say that.

when they say t.u. or anyone when they throw the horns down. no apologies, I HATE ou. and sam bradford likes men.

An outright admission of arrogance and name calling is not likely to win you friends anytime soon.

Paragraphs are your friend.

Probably because many UT students and alumni have a sense of entitlement. UT is to the Big 12 as SMU is to Conference USA. That being said, we’re still the best.

P.S. I haven’t seen or heard “t.u.” in a while, I wonder what the reason for that might be (haha).

I’m not sure why the Big 12 morons can’t just let Texas play OU for the Big 12 Championship. Not like Mizzou could argue they should be in there, regardless of the north & south division. The South was so heavy this year anyway, I say let the true “winners” play each other and we would have a true champion.

thanks P.B., and you are right. gay bashing is the lowest form of commentary. Texas is far above the rest for a reason. Class and respect.

While I don’t like the way you made your argument, you have a point. I absolutely hate it when other fans throw the “horns down” sign. It may be because I pay attention to UT more, but I don’t remember seeing anyone doing a “guns down” or anything.

Speaking as a Tech fan, I can speak in general terms as to why Red Raiders don’t have a problem wishing OU well and being somewhat happy UT is out of this barring a few scenarios. Especially at DTN…

First, OU fans don’t come to the Tech blog site and try to completely discredit everything about Tech from the fans, to the academics, to the football team, to city, whatever. This season a few BON regulars made a habit of coming over to DTN and being punks. All season. We expect it from Aggie fans because they are Aggie fans. Not so much from Texas fans.

Secondly, and probably more accurately, Texas – as a poster alluded to above – has the biggest and best of everything in athletics. Your pockets are infinitely deeper than anyone else’s in the conference. It appears to outsiders that you normally get your way or buy your way and when you don’t, as in this year’s BCS, it makes a lot of people pretty freaking happy.

Part of it is fans in Texas were either raised as UT fans or they weren’t. I come from a very long line of Tech alumns and it was sort of bred into me to hate orange. Not to I actually was a massive OU fan in the Big 8 days, so it’s hard for me to work up the same amount of “hate” towards them as UT.

A possible final reason Tech fans are displeased more so than normal is that we beat you guys this year in the game of the year. Yet many UT fans don’t want to give credit where credit is due in regards to Tech earning that win. Yes, you made a great comeback and our hats were off to you guys for that. But we also had a pretty fancy comeback as well and that somehow gets lost by UT fans. Or it seems to.

Why do the other teams hate you? Dunno…maybe just because you’re Texas.

Don’t want to offend anyone, just taking shots at ou. Believe me, I’m open minded, especially after living here in Austin for the last 4 years. Sorry if I broke any guidelines. saying t.u. and the reverse horns is dumb though. But I digress. The point of my post is this: I’m a recent graduate from UT. In the last several years, thanks in large part to Mack Brown, UT has become a culture of class. We view ourselves as extremely respectful to other teams and schools (minus ou, and sometimes A&M). I just find it strange that a lot of schools see the situation as UT whining because the big dog isn’t getting what it wants this year, and trying to change the tie-breaker rules to benefit the Horns in the future. At most, a lot of Big 12 schools should be apathetic to the whole situation since they aren’t involved. If we use this situation to highlight the Big 12 tie-breaker rules, it will most likely help a smaller school in the future. But who knows, maybe it’s all in my head. Again, sorry for the offensive comments. They are supposed to be poking fun of ou, not gay-bashing. I’ll watch myself in the future. I’ll correct myself, “mobilehoma sooners,” and “sam bradford hates Jesus.”

PB- feel free to edit the comments you feel offensive out if needed. again, don’t want to break any guidelines or go over the top and offend anyone.

Maybe the Big 12 collectively doesn’t like UT because they are jealous of our close proximity to the Alamo.

…implicitly outlined in last month’s Texas Monthly. It takes a fantastic look at how Mr. Dodds started the arms race at Texas and created the juggernaut that makes so many people jealous. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself the favor of checking it out.

Obviously, the organic extension of our powerful brand, and the opportunities it bears, is that we get to put things on our resume that no one else in the Conference can even come close to approaching. Who else has modern highlights as impressive and iconic as our back to back Rose Bowl wins in the final seconds? That’s better than any OU record. Nothing is as memorable in all of college football for many people (Orangebloods or not) as how Vince beat USC. That’s bound to create some jealousy and animosity. Or, for that matter, who can do things as New York Yankees-esque as locking up a coordinator for $900,000 per year for presumably at least a few years? (I totally agree with doing everything in our power to keep Coach Muschamp, don’t get me wrong…it’s just that if you’re Iowa State or Baylor looking at that deal it must make you pretty sick to your stomach to know you have no shot of competing with that).

Further, I also believe a lot of the hatred is that other people in the Big 12 see us as separating from OU but want us and the Land Thieves to tear each other apart so they can sneak up and try to topple us. (Tech had maybe there once-in-a-decade chance this season. Missouri has been threatening for a couple seasons…but always winds up shitting the bed).

All in all, I guess I’m just saying that jealousy, and that fact that we make the entire college football landscape play by our rules is bound to make a lot of people hate us…even if we don’t run up scores.

If you will recall several years back, their athletic director made the comment about thinking that the Big XII needed revenue sharing. His specific reference was to Texas and I think they had a coach or some fans crying about the fact that we have more money than them, blah blah blah.
I’m sorry the state of kansas sucks, but not everybody can be Texas….

If you use the term “classy”, you are not.
