Texas is BACK

Texas is just cursed. One title in a bazillion years, and it almost didn't happen. Most of that time, they played in a relatively shit conference too. It just may be the clearest example of how important coaching is, because there isn't a program anywhere that can out-resource Texas. They have built-in recruiting, money and a national following (why, I don't know, but they do) ... and still.

You got that right. They've named the field after a billionaire dead attorney (Joe Jamail) who god only knows gave them how much money and there are 20 plus more boosters like him doing the same thing.creepycoug said:Texas is just cursed.

They wouldn't have to leave the state to get a top 12 recruiting class, and the Big 12 has should be the big 2 little 10 w/ them being one of the two.
And if Reggie Bush doesn't try to lateral it in the first qtr of the NC game vs Texas at the 20, the legend of Vince Young in the Rose Bowl never happens, and they'd be on a longer drought than Notre Dame in terms of winning their last NC. -

Beginning in 1893, the Texas Longhorns football program is one of the most highly regarded and historic programs of all time. From 1937 to 1946 the team was led by Hall of Fame coach Dana X. Bible, and then from 1957 to 1976 the team was led by Hall of Fame coach Darrell K. Royal, who won three national championships. In 2012, the football program was valued at $805 million, more than the calculated value of several NFL teams. In 2008, ESPN ranked Texas as the seventh-most prestigious college football program since 1936. As of the end of the 2016 season, Texas' all-time record is 891–359–33 (.718), which ranks as the second-most wins in NCAA Division I FBS history. Texas is known for their post-season appearances, ranking second in number of bowl game appearances (53), fourth in bowl game victories (27), most Southwest Conference football championships (27), and most Cotton Bowl Classic appearances and victories. Other NCAA records include 108 winning seasons out of 122 total seasons, 23 seasons with 10 or more wins, 9 undefeated seasons, and 26 seasons with at most one loss or tie. From 1936 to 2012, the Longhorns football teams have been in the AP or coaches' rankings 66 out of 76 seasons (86.8% of the time), finishing those seasons ranked in the top twenty-five 48 times and the top ten 28 times. Texas claims four Division I-A national championships (1963, 1969, 1970 and 2005) and 32 conference championships (3 Big 12 Conference, 27 Southwest Conference, and 2 Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association).
