UT administration, coaches, players and fans are such sensitive little babies. They will get eaten alive in the SEC.

Yea that was from a few days ago. I don't see other teams getting bent about hand signals, like the down U with Miami, the tomahawk chop for FSU, etc.
 
Typical horn exceptionalism. They've sung ATM or OU sucks at the end of their fight song for decades.....i don't have a problem with that but its hardly the master-class in pure sportsmanship would give Texas a legit higher moral-ground complaint about 'horns down'.

100% this.

EVERY team has to deal with taunts from opposing fanbases, and somehow UT is the only one that ever gets worked up about it at the administrative/coach level. It's fascinating.

It's also going to be real fun to watch now that they don't have a conference that they control, because the BigXII for YEARS legislated "NO HORNS DOWN EVER," but the SEC doesn't play that way.

UT’s 2nd string QB hit the portal to Duke. With 12 teams it sure seems like it will be a more common occurrence.

I think that was a bit of an outlier. He knew he'd never play at UT with Arch there and had to find his spot. Iirc, the transfers from Bama, UGA, tOSU type playoff programs have entered the portal for the February signing period if they were in the 2-deep.

Oklahoma and Texas played every year when OU was in the Big 8 and Texas in the SWC.

seems pretty highly competitive OOC to me. on balance.

I don’t want to speak for myself from 2 years ago, but I believe I was being a little tongue in cheek with that comment, making fun of traditional SEC OOC scheduling.
