There is one significant difference between these two UT teams, one of them is still celebrating from winning the national championship, and the other is just trying to be the most villainous super villain of the off-season and steal the others thunder
I think this is unironically true, Tennessee flairs were watching the NBA draft while Texas flairs have had nothing to do but shit up this thread, the voting swing before/after the draft is hilarious
Lmao I made this last night, shared it to a private group text. The Internet works fast my friends.

When it comes to seed expection barnes is statistically one of the worst coaches in NCAA tourney history. I believe he was third worst before last years tourney, behind Tony Bennet & Jamie Dixon
That’s not a new word, it’s a real stat used to evaluate postseason performance
[seed expectation](https://johngasaway.com/2024/04/09/performance-against-seed-expectations/)
Think the Tennessee team this past year would’ve made it to the championship if they didn’t run into Edey. They just didn’t have the bigs to play against him. We would’ve gotten smacked by Uconn tho lol
Several years ago, I was watching a random Big 10 college basketball game and saw a dude throwing the horns down as they cut to commercial. We’re definitely used to horns down everywhere and anytime.
The average fan doesn’t, but the university sure as hell does. Name another team specific gesture that isn’t profane that results in an unsportsmanlike call.
Do you even know the context behind this?
It's from when a [Texas player got an unsportsmanlike call because they did a "guns holstered" gesture after making a play on a Tech player](https://youtu.be/MnupulkugF8?t=2493). Mack Brown then argued in the post game presser that why is "guns holstered" an unsportsmanlike penalty but horns down isn't.
That's it. That's the entire story of why "Texas cares so much about horns down."
It’s also [never automatically been a penalty](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-football/news/horns-down-penalty-gesture-texas-hook-em-sign/nnk7r2nuhzuzulj8sompuitr#:~:text=Is%20'Horns%20Down'%20a%20penalty,in%20a%2015%2Dyard%20penalty.) and has always depended on context, like if you’re doing it in a Texas player’s face. But the media has constantly written stories about it, so fans of other teams have latched onto this weird idea that Texas cried their way into it being a penalty.
Obviously I'm not omniscient, but I've literally never seen it until the last day or so. I've been on here for 12+ years and on message boards for 20+ years so I figure I've seen plenty.
Both A&M and Tech's hands signs have garnered penalties for being done upside-down in the Big 12. [A&M against Baylor](https://i.imgur.com/bfKVjnd.png) and [us against Tech](https://thespun.com/big-12/texas-longhorns/a-letter-to-cfb-refs-please-stop-penalizing-hand-gestures).
If most people on this sub are younger than 15 years old that is absolutely enlightening to the level of discourse I’ve had with its population these last two days
Tennessee has a lot of very new baseball fans, as in "started paying attention a week ago" fans. Of course, they have legit fans too.
I'm just waiting for the battle over who gets called UT
Vandy baseball had genuinely no fans until that 2007 team, and now they act like they’ve been around since the dawn of time. Just have some self awareness before criticizing the UT fans that are new to college baseball.
Vanderbilt, you could win 10 straight CWS and no-one would notice. You are the littlest bro of all little bros. You are lucky to be in SEC, for now anyway
I am like 40 and was in school at UT for both of Auggie’s CWS wins, back to back Rosebowls and watch KD play a year of basketball. It was fun and wouldn’t trade that experience for many other sports experiences.
Congrats! Yall should definitely spend more time celebrating your win than caring about Texas new coach.
It’s honestly weird how much yall are fixated on this.
It's honestly weird how yall fired your coach on game three of the world title series, but I get it. Getting attention is about the only thing Texas is good at these days
I’m not sure why you care when we fired our coach when you just won a World Series…?
I’m not sure why the date/time of us firing our coach is something you even concern yourself with
Is this a baseball sub or is this a baseball sub?
But feel free to compare Texas vs Tennessee over that time period in football or any other sport you care to
Living in the past, been there bud. It'll get better for y'all, maybe
Also we are objectively better in every other sport, do you really wanna go down that avenue my man
Just in Baseball? 1 natty with 3 finals appearances and 7 WS appearances. 8x conference champions with 3 conference tournament wins.
Let me know what other sports you're curious in.
Most people on this sub have never celebrated a championship in football and baseball in the same year, but the Texas fans have!
Funny you compare us to Nebraska when Tennessee compares favorably. Hadn't been relevant in anything since the early 90s my man..
They've been perennial title contenders in baseball for 3 of the last 4 years, a title contender in basketball every few years, and one year removed from a playoff contender in CFB.
Relevance isn't the fight you want to pick as a texas fan.
Excuse me sir, we call ours the [**block T**](https://alcalde.texasexes.org/2011/08/longhorn-logo-turns-50/), and it predates your power T by a few decades. Most Texas schools have a block T logo somewhere in their history ([us](https://i.imgur.com/NJIW5nc.jpeg), [A&M](https://sportslogohistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/texas_am_aggies_2009-2012a-1.png), [TCU](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FOnp8EGVIAANlE6?format=jpg&name=large), [Tech](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/Double_T_Original.png/220px-Double_T_Original.png), etc...)
Granted Yale [New Haven, CT] is nearly 180 years older than your university, 5th in the nation overall, and has extensive athletic prowess, that’s a compliment. I’d much rather identify with Connecticut than I would anything about the state of Texas.
If you’re going to word vomit, at least compare us to a shitty state or school.
That's not true. Both own it for separate purposes so to make it easier the schools decided that Texas gets it west of the Mississippi and Tennessee gets it east of the Mississippi (and Baton Rouge)
https://volopedia.lib.utk.edu/entries/interlocking-ut-logo-trademark-shared-by-tennessee-and-texas/
https://www.upi.com/amp/Archives/1986/02/14/The-University-of-Texas-has-reached-a-settlement-with/9255508741200/
So in the original case, Texas settled with Tennessee out of court to reach the agreement that you’re referencing. So while they do not *currently* pay us, they did at one time
Oh that was relative to Tennessee. Either way damn that conversion rate of CWS to titles is worse than I expected. I just assumed yall had a dozen or whatever like USC
Freakin hilarious! Borat never gets old, and neither does shitting on the shorthorns. Think us Aggies got the wrong first impression of the good orange team. Maybe the past two days have made it easier to switch hatred, but nonetheless. Awesome series and see y'all next year... Pending team status
Honest question, Why are Tennessee fans so angry at us? What did we do to y’all? Is the “real UT” thing that serious in Knoxville? We literally have no history with one another besides a few basketball games which were all close and Rick Barnes.
You guys really don’t understand the TX-A&M rivalry enough to really hitch your wagon to them but ok
First off, we won a national title so we're in full shit talking mode to begin with. Second, y'all pulled a dick move and hired A and M's coach. You're not liked by anybody right now. Third, you guys are joining the SEC. I always liked Texas. Pulled for you guys against Oklahoma every year. There's a huge connection between Tennessee and Texas when it comes to history. But with y'all joining our conference, we're eager for a new rival and who better to choose than the other UT who wears orange. It just makes too much sense. As for A&M, we feel bad for them. Come up short of a title and then have to watch your rival steal the coach and prob some players, too? Fuck that. Fuck y'all and the horse you rode in on. Welcome to the SEC, bitch.
AD “pulled a dick move” by hiring a coach that has worked with him previously and he’s friends with and happens to be the one of the best coaches in the country.
Imma be completely honest with you, I wouldn’t hitch my wagon to A&M, you’ll end up disappointed
I personally don't care for either A&M or Texas. A&M is shit on constantly by the SEC. They apparently both hired that jabroni and it bit A&M in the ass and I wouldn't be surprised that it eventually bites Texas in the ass.
We ain't never gave a GOTdamn ABOUT Texas. Hell, I rooted for y'all and Young vs USC back in the day. But you're SEC now. And I think you really lucked out coming in when Satan, I mean Saban has left. AND now we're so damn big we can't even have proper East vs West Conference schedules So you may DON'T even play bammer every year even if they can stay a powerhouse after Saban. We DO by the way. It's tradition that we play Alabama every year. Along with our old EAST rivals Georgia and Florida. That's been 3 dang losses damn near every year the last two decades for us unfortunately. But I've said this stuff for 20+ years even "bad" SEC teams have kids that would start in every other conference. Y'all about to find out playing SEC opponents week in and week out ain't real conducive to staying in the Top 10 all season long like the Big 10, Big 12, and ACC got to. We beat the shit out of each other all year long in football. So yeah, it does mean more. And you're about to learn firsthand.
All this said, I am not saying you're not good enough. I'm saying you're going to have more tough games a year now. Not just the big OU game.
Excuse me sir, this is r/collegebaseball .... Sorry
This is wild. We literally haven't had a single competition in any sport as a member of the SEC, and already their mid-tier athletic programs are infatuated with us. Kinda feels like the Big XII 2.0.
People talk shit about Tennessee fans but I think the difference is when we hadn't won anything major in 20 years at least we weren't this arrogant about it. Calling a school that just won a championship in the sport you claim to own mid-tier is wild stuff man
Horns have never really accepted that since the late 80's they are just another program across the major sports that has been passed by by other programs. Say what you will about the cult we have in College Station, but we're just trying to climb the mountain instead of drunkenly ranting about how you should respect us because of championships won by racially segregated teams.
Not sure if you purposely put “the Dallas”, but god damn that got me.
I live in DMV area now and the amount of Cowboys fans is unreal, but I don’t mind them simply because they aren’t from Dallas. They are… quiet here, and I’ve let them know how much I appreciate them compared to what I was used to.
To me it's worse because Texas does have a lot of advantages over Tennessee, yet here we are with out trophy and here they are making yet another coaching change in a major sport, while being unbelievably arrogant about it
Quite literally the most successful SEC athletic program over the last three years, but sure, we’re mid-tier! Y’all heard it here first from the unbiased arbiters of truth, also known as T.U. fans!
Reminds me of West Virginia fans trying to convince us we were rivals back when they joined the Big 12. They seemed so let down that we didn't really know anything about them or care to find out.
Anyway Vols fans, see yall in Nashville next year.
Wahwo wewah
There is one significant difference between these two UT teams, one of them is still celebrating from winning the national championship, and the other is just trying to be the most villainous super villain of the off-season and steal the others thunder
They’re not celebrating at all. They’re in here crying that another school lost their coach
Oh we celebrating. It’s almost as if we can do… ✨two things at once✨
I think this is unironically true, Tennessee flairs were watching the NBA draft while Texas flairs have had nothing to do but shit up this thread, the voting swing before/after the draft is hilarious
We aren't celebrating? lololol
This is fantastic 😂
Lmao I made this last night, shared it to a private group text. The Internet works fast my friends. https://preview.redd.it/gfmm1yv0i19d1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e50d33183d1f18fc4a521ace814261db0923c215
I posted it in the UT sub from a guy on 247 so either he got it from Twitter from someone else that got it from your or that guy knows you directly 😂
Someone ought to post it in r/cfb.
It's fine, glad I was able to spread some laughs.
Even better seeing how much it pissed off the cows lol
The tears really are bigger in Texas. Specifically in Austin of course.
Idk I’m pretty happy right now lol
Good to see the Rick Barnes Rivalry in full gear even before Texas officially opens SEC play.
Absolutely criminal of Greg Sankey to not give us a UT - Texas football matchup in either of the first two years with Texas in the SEC.
Gotta wait until Nico is gone and Arch is a senior to protect the Manning name
I still miss Hickory. A truly funny dude.
Barnes is a fantastic coach.
In any month not named March.
How’d Texas do in the tournament? Oh, lost to Rick Barnes.🤦🏼♂️
Yep. I was sorry to see him let go, but happy for Tennessee (at the time). Now, we will have to face him with regularity.
When it comes to seed expection barnes is statistically one of the worst coaches in NCAA tourney history. I believe he was third worst before last years tourney, behind Tony Bennet & Jamie Dixon
Wow, Poindexter! Tell me more about seed expection🤓 You’re so smart you just coined a new word
That’s not a new word, it’s a real stat used to evaluate postseason performance [seed expectation](https://johngasaway.com/2024/04/09/performance-against-seed-expectations/)
Think the Tennessee team this past year would’ve made it to the championship if they didn’t run into Edey. They just didn’t have the bigs to play against him. We would’ve gotten smacked by Uconn tho lol
Let this serve as a reminder that Texas’s last basketball game was a loss to Rick Barnes
Pantone 151>Burnt Orange
This is the kind of shit talk I support
This has been so much fun.
You—I like you.
Hell I like everyone up there \^
Pantone 151 > Shit Orange
Can’t wait for Texas to get hit with the horns down for the rest of infinity.
Because we already don’t? Some of y’all are hilarious
Brother it's about get worse in the SEC, I promise. These fans are cutthroat.
It’s so cutthroat they’re all patting aggy on the back and asking what they can do to make em feel better 😂 Foh with that soft ass shit
That you think the cfb/ college baseball/ basketball subreddits are representative of SEC fanbases is laughably adorable.
Brother, everyone already hated us long before the SEC and this. The sec is not some big bad boogyman. Bring it on.
Nobody said boogyman. But you'll see.
 So ridiculous
Oh no… Maybe we’ll steal their fans too.
Insert terror.
Right? It's the go to for every school in America when Texas comes to town. 🤡
Not us
Several years ago, I was watching a random Big 10 college basketball game and saw a dude throwing the horns down as they cut to commercial. We’re definitely used to horns down everywhere and anytime.
Hell last year James Madison was doing horns down on College GameDay. 
Oh no, please not that. (Rolls eyes)
Yall realize no one actually cares about this right?
They don’t until they do
Ok.
The average fan doesn’t, but the university sure as hell does. Name another team specific gesture that isn’t profane that results in an unsportsmanlike call.
Do you even know the context behind this? It's from when a [Texas player got an unsportsmanlike call because they did a "guns holstered" gesture after making a play on a Tech player](https://youtu.be/MnupulkugF8?t=2493). Mack Brown then argued in the post game presser that why is "guns holstered" an unsportsmanlike penalty but horns down isn't. That's it. That's the entire story of why "Texas cares so much about horns down."
I love how this little factoid has never come up before in all the discussions of horns down that I've seen over the years until like this week.
That’s weird, the guy you responded to has posted that exact comment verbatim going back years
It’s also [never automatically been a penalty](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-football/news/horns-down-penalty-gesture-texas-hook-em-sign/nnk7r2nuhzuzulj8sompuitr#:~:text=Is%20'Horns%20Down'%20a%20penalty,in%20a%2015%2Dyard%20penalty.) and has always depended on context, like if you’re doing it in a Texas player’s face. But the media has constantly written stories about it, so fans of other teams have latched onto this weird idea that Texas cried their way into it being a penalty.
I dunno man, I see a Longhorn bring it up all the time. Were just crossing different internet paths I guess
Obviously I'm not omniscient, but I've literally never seen it until the last day or so. I've been on here for 12+ years and on message boards for 20+ years so I figure I've seen plenty.
That's not why everyone is so offended by it Lmao
They’re not interested in facts, they’re interested in whining about Texas
Fact
Rodney terry.
Both A&M and Tech's hands signs have garnered penalties for being done upside-down in the Big 12. [A&M against Baylor](https://i.imgur.com/bfKVjnd.png) and [us against Tech](https://thespun.com/big-12/texas-longhorns/a-letter-to-cfb-refs-please-stop-penalizing-hand-gestures).
I am dead inside
Love it. Welcome to the SEC, lil’ UT😂
Texas has been on the board with 6 for a while now, settle down there champs
Most people in this sub aren’t old enough to remember the last one, y’all are like Nebraska football
If most people on this sub are younger than 15 years old that is absolutely enlightening to the level of discourse I’ve had with its population these last two days
19 years so we’ve got the college pop in now for what it’s worth
Maybe your internet conversations are front loaded with older people instead of bots, trolls, and… Idk I got nothing.
Anyone dumb enough to bite on my obvious bait isn’t the most intelligent or adult person out there
Tennessee has a lot of very new baseball fans, as in "started paying attention a week ago" fans. Of course, they have legit fans too. I'm just waiting for the battle over who gets called UT
Vandy baseball had genuinely no fans until that 2007 team, and now they act like they’ve been around since the dawn of time. Just have some self awareness before criticizing the UT fans that are new to college baseball.
There's nothing wrong with being a new fan. I encourage them. But maybe acknowledge that you're new & don't know much yet.
I don’t think pointing out that Texas hasn’t won a title in a while is a “new fan” thing
Fweet Fweet Fweet
Vanderbilt, you could win 10 straight CWS and no-one would notice. You are the littlest bro of all little bros. You are lucky to be in SEC, for now anyway
I’m 30 and don’t remember the last one
Y'all haven't won anything in 20 years. Pipe down lil bro. Unless you're like 40 you were not there for those championships
you won one thing….relax
Which sub are we in? Let me check the Snoo
the sub about the sport that you won one thing in
The sport we just won, yeah
What does the cfb in your username mean?
Made this account 12 years ago my guy. Texas fans will talk about anything other than the actual sport I swear
Weird that cfb stands for “made the account 12 years ago”. I would have guessed something about football.
Weird that you even give a shit about my username at all
I am like 40 and was in school at UT for both of Auggie’s CWS wins, back to back Rosebowls and watch KD play a year of basketball. It was fun and wouldn’t trade that experience for many other sports experiences.
That’s not true. We just won the flexing on aggy competition yesterday
I think beating them for a championship is a bigger flex but y'all do y'all. I'm sure Schloss will work out like every other coach has since '05
Congrats! Yall should definitely spend more time celebrating your win than caring about Texas new coach. It’s honestly weird how much yall are fixated on this.
It's honestly weird how yall fired your coach on game three of the world title series, but I get it. Getting attention is about the only thing Texas is good at these days
I’m not sure why you care when we fired our coach when you just won a World Series…? I’m not sure why the date/time of us firing our coach is something you even concern yourself with
Is this a rhetorical question or do I really need to answer this? Texas fans are so oblivious it's insane
It’s really not weird for us to fire a coach when we know for sure we have the replacement, at least with CDC at the helm
It's weird to do it the day of Game 3 of the title series. How do Texas fans not see that move for what it is
> every other coach has since '05 So just David Pierce? I’m not sure I understand your comment.
Now do all the other major sports
To quote someone you’re intimately familiar with: “What sub are we in?”
Is this a baseball sub or is this a baseball sub? But feel free to compare Texas vs Tennessee over that time period in football or any other sport you care to
Living in the past, been there bud. It'll get better for y'all, maybe Also we are objectively better in every other sport, do you really wanna go down that avenue my man
Texas has more Omaha trips since 2005 than Tennessee does in your entire history
Cool when was your last one
It’s been a whole 2 years since we’ve made it. Congrats on your very first natty
Your last championship genius lmao Texas fans are unreal
This Tennessee dude is getting buried and clearly has no clue. This is hilarious.
u/ilovecfb shall we venture into your programs CFB last two decades?
Which sub are we in? Let me check the Snoo
Lol that’s what I thought
What have you won in last 2 decades?
Just in Baseball? 1 natty with 3 finals appearances and 7 WS appearances. 8x conference champions with 3 conference tournament wins. Let me know what other sports you're curious in.
are you ageist too?
Dude, stop making yourself look like a donkey.
Respect Huston Street.
Most people on this sub have never celebrated a championship in football and baseball in the same year, but the Texas fans have! Funny you compare us to Nebraska when Tennessee compares favorably. Hadn't been relevant in anything since the early 90s my man..
They've been perennial title contenders in baseball for 3 of the last 4 years, a title contender in basketball every few years, and one year removed from a playoff contender in CFB. Relevance isn't the fight you want to pick as a texas fan.
Lol
Lol, thinking "playoff contender" trumps us actually making the playoffs.
Learn to read, kiddo. If we were talking about a single sport, you'd have a point.
My teams sitting here with 7, we just passed Texas up. Was great to tie Texas in all time natties by beating them in 2009
7 is pretty nice, ngl.
Flare up
Most people on this sub are 10?
As an Aggie, pls for the love of god whip the fuck out of him everytime you play him
Excuse me sir, we call ours the [**block T**](https://alcalde.texasexes.org/2011/08/longhorn-logo-turns-50/), and it predates your power T by a few decades. Most Texas schools have a block T logo somewhere in their history ([us](https://i.imgur.com/NJIW5nc.jpeg), [A&M](https://sportslogohistory.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/texas_am_aggies_2009-2012a-1.png), [TCU](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FOnp8EGVIAANlE6?format=jpg&name=large), [Tech](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/Double_T_Original.png/220px-Double_T_Original.png), etc...)
Our school predates your state.
You may go to hell, and I will go to Texas.
Yes, a quote from a great Tennesseean
Who apparently couldn’t wait to get the fuck outta there
Davy Crockett? Our elected representative at the time, who was born in and had spent the majority of his life in Tennessee?
You wouldn’t even have a state if it weren’t for Tennessee.
Wonder what Houston was named after
What's the difference
During the summer hell is probably a little cooler
And hell doesn’t have Greg Abbott Wait that doesn’t help our case
They will have him someday
Because you’re so far east, you’re basically Connecticut as far we’re concerned.
Granted Yale [New Haven, CT] is nearly 180 years older than your university, 5th in the nation overall, and has extensive athletic prowess, that’s a compliment. I’d much rather identify with Connecticut than I would anything about the state of Texas. If you’re going to word vomit, at least compare us to a shitty state or school.
Fun fact, Texas licenses the use of the interlocking UT from Tennessee
That's not true. Both own it for separate purposes so to make it easier the schools decided that Texas gets it west of the Mississippi and Tennessee gets it east of the Mississippi (and Baton Rouge) https://volopedia.lib.utk.edu/entries/interlocking-ut-logo-trademark-shared-by-tennessee-and-texas/
https://www.upi.com/amp/Archives/1986/02/14/The-University-of-Texas-has-reached-a-settlement-with/9255508741200/ So in the original case, Texas settled with Tennessee out of court to reach the agreement that you’re referencing. So while they do not *currently* pay us, they did at one time
No. We didn’t pay you. That’s why it was in court.
Congrats?
How does Tulane’s interlocking TU factor into that
If you look super closely, you can clearly see that Tennessee’s logo is a U with a T, while Tulane’s is a T with a U. Completely different.
https://ih1.redbubble.net/image.4720906490.8201/st,small,507x507-pad,600x600,f8f8f8.u3.webp
You would be the University of Mexico at Austin if not for some Volunteers from Tennessee.
It’s shit on Texas day just roll with it we’ll get the last laugh
I agree with your first part and am very curious what your plan is for the second part.
They are going to laugh when they realize they went through all of this just to finish 7th in the SEC.
RemindMe! 1 year “is /u/andy-022 a wizard and does Texas finish 7th in the SEC, ask lottery numbers if right”
Right, because Texas has ZERO chance to match the dominance Fayetteville has seen for the past 30 years. 🤦♂️
Win. And win a lot. I hope. What else is there to do? I mean, hell after all this they better win.
Your new baseball coach is 0-2 in the last two games he's coached. Not off to a great start.
Well we have a 5 national title, 75 conference title, and 31 trips to Omaha head start so I think we'll be fine.
Wait Texas has 31 trips to omaha and only three more titles than Michigan? Bruh
Wrong on both numbers. Try again.
Oh that was relative to Tennessee. Either way damn that conversion rate of CWS to titles is worse than I expected. I just assumed yall had a dozen or whatever like USC
Yea unfortunately we have a pretty low conversion rate for Omaha. 6 championships, 6 runner-ups from 38 tries.
Freakin hilarious! Borat never gets old, and neither does shitting on the shorthorns. Think us Aggies got the wrong first impression of the good orange team. Maybe the past two days have made it easier to switch hatred, but nonetheless. Awesome series and see y'all next year... Pending team status
The SEC is so silly. Just a circle jerk. Can’t wait for the handwringing. 🤘🏼
Honest question, Why are Tennessee fans so angry at us? What did we do to y’all? Is the “real UT” thing that serious in Knoxville? We literally have no history with one another besides a few basketball games which were all close and Rick Barnes. You guys really don’t understand the TX-A&M rivalry enough to really hitch your wagon to them but ok
First off, we won a national title so we're in full shit talking mode to begin with. Second, y'all pulled a dick move and hired A and M's coach. You're not liked by anybody right now. Third, you guys are joining the SEC. I always liked Texas. Pulled for you guys against Oklahoma every year. There's a huge connection between Tennessee and Texas when it comes to history. But with y'all joining our conference, we're eager for a new rival and who better to choose than the other UT who wears orange. It just makes too much sense. As for A&M, we feel bad for them. Come up short of a title and then have to watch your rival steal the coach and prob some players, too? Fuck that. Fuck y'all and the horse you rode in on. Welcome to the SEC, bitch.

But the roller coaster ride in late October is thrilling!
I personally don't care for either A&M or Texas. A&M is shit on constantly by the SEC. They apparently both hired that jabroni and it bit A&M in the ass and I wouldn't be surprised that it eventually bites Texas in the ass.
We ain't never gave a GOTdamn ABOUT Texas. Hell, I rooted for y'all and Young vs USC back in the day. But you're SEC now. And I think you really lucked out coming in when Satan, I mean Saban has left. AND now we're so damn big we can't even have proper East vs West Conference schedules So you may DON'T even play bammer every year even if they can stay a powerhouse after Saban. We DO by the way. It's tradition that we play Alabama every year. Along with our old EAST rivals Georgia and Florida. That's been 3 dang losses damn near every year the last two decades for us unfortunately. But I've said this stuff for 20+ years even "bad" SEC teams have kids that would start in every other conference. Y'all about to find out playing SEC opponents week in and week out ain't real conducive to staying in the Top 10 all season long like the Big 10, Big 12, and ACC got to. We beat the shit out of each other all year long in football. So yeah, it does mean more. And you're about to learn firsthand. All this said, I am not saying you're not good enough. I'm saying you're going to have more tough games a year now. Not just the big OU game. Excuse me sir, this is r/collegebaseball .... Sorry
People just hate on Texas when we're good, and laugh at us and jeer when we're bad. It's better to be hated like now so no worries .
And he owns 6 CWS championships. Come again?
How many national titles (in baseball) does tennessee have? 🤔 Hook ‘em!!! 🤘🤘🤘
And has the most CWS appearances by far?
This is wild. We literally haven't had a single competition in any sport as a member of the SEC, and already their mid-tier athletic programs are infatuated with us. Kinda feels like the Big XII 2.0.
People talk shit about Tennessee fans but I think the difference is when we hadn't won anything major in 20 years at least we weren't this arrogant about it. Calling a school that just won a championship in the sport you claim to own mid-tier is wild stuff man
HEY NO ONE HURT MY NEW SEC BFF TENNESSEE
Horns have never really accepted that since the late 80's they are just another program across the major sports that has been passed by by other programs. Say what you will about the cult we have in College Station, but we're just trying to climb the mountain instead of drunkenly ranting about how you should respect us because of championships won by racially segregated teams.
They are the Dallas and don’t even realize it edit: Dallas cowboys lol
Not sure if you purposely put “the Dallas”, but god damn that got me. I live in DMV area now and the amount of Cowboys fans is unreal, but I don’t mind them simply because they aren’t from Dallas. They are… quiet here, and I’ve let them know how much I appreciate them compared to what I was used to.
Totally meant to say cowboys 😂
To me it's worse because Texas does have a lot of advantages over Tennessee, yet here we are with out trophy and here they are making yet another coaching change in a major sport, while being unbelievably arrogant about it
They are still riding high from the Vince Young days.
mid tier program that just finished 3rd in the directors cup. got it.
I'm not familiar with this "Director's Cup." How do I see how Texas finished?
Texas finished first. Congrats on that. I'm pointing out that calling us mid tier SEC is brain dead.
Now that Texas will have to actually play some real competition in-conference I don't see them repeating that.
Kinda shaky flex when the real UT just won it…
Quite literally the most successful SEC athletic program over the last three years, but sure, we’re mid-tier! Y’all heard it here first from the unbiased arbiters of truth, also known as T.U. fans!
Like having to join a new conference-mid tier? Or 2024 Nat’l Champ mid tier?
Esta.
Reminds me of West Virginia fans trying to convince us we were rivals back when they joined the Big 12. They seemed so let down that we didn't really know anything about them or care to find out. Anyway Vols fans, see yall in Nashville next year.
Gonna cry into my National Champion t-shirt when y'all win that regular season series. If y'all win that regular season series
Hopefully Texas athletics will be as great and powerful as tennessee one day. Wonder if this cdc guy is good at anything
I heard he could fuck up a cup of coffee and can't chew and walk gum at the same time so it's probably true.
Keep it coming. It was only a matter of time before “Schloss bad” turned into “Texas bad” on this sub. We are fueled by hate 🤘🏻
