False

The biggest underachiever of a program in college football history is simply maintaining their usual storyline.

When the Horns can open a season with a devastating win over a program like Maryland instead of a devastating loss to them, then I will contemplate whether or not the Bevo has regrown his horns. Right now all they have done is return to a typical Big 12 all offense little defense kind of team.

What we should be asking is how good is West Virginia this year? That probably won't be determined until the final week of the regular season.

Wonder if that has something to do with the alltime record of UT vs. Alabama.
Texas 7
Alabama 1
Tie 1

Seriously, one of 4 teams with 900 wins in the biggest under-achiever????

Don’t be butthurt because we are talking about the truth. 2009 still hurts huh?

You won a lot of games beating Rice, Houston, SMU, Baylor, and Tech every year and you have basically nothing meaningful to show for it.

If that hurts your feelings, well, that’s just so Texas of you.

Biggest underachiever of a program in college football history = You

I see you are still upset over the other 7 losses and ignoring the facts.
Texas may not have had an era as good as Saban's at Alabama, but Texas has never had an era as bad as Alabama 1997-2007.

That “era” is called the program’s entire existence.

Alabama > Texas

Yes, we have achieved more in the last decade than you have ever.

What did you want to say to refute the point about being an underachiever again?

Texas from 2010-2016 wasn't much better than Bama from 1997-07.

And no Texas has never had a period as good as Bama 2009-present. In fact, Bama has probably accomplished more (or at least as much) in that period as Texas has for its whole history.

I will grant that Texas hasn't had a period as bad as Alabama 1955-1957. When Bama was 4-24-2.

Agreed. There's a reason the Big XII is 0-2 in the playoffs. Teams play defense there.

Quote:What we should be asking is how good is West Virginia this year? That probably won't be determined until the final week of the regular season.

Agree here too.

4 national championships (and without claiming 3 or 4 computer national championships as Alabama for some reason feels the need to), one of three schools with 900 wins, 32 conference titles, winning over 70% of games. If that's underachieving, Kansas St. and about 5 other schools are the only ones who aren't underachieving.

OU's head coach took Saturday's loss seriously enough to fire his defensive coordinator, Bob Stoops' younger brother Mike:

He wouldn’t be coaching a blueblood dream job at 34 if not for the Stoops family. This guy might be having a down year but he’s won a national championship as DC.

If West Virginia hangs 50 on ‘em, we’ll see if Lincoln points fingers or thumbs.

That only solves part of the problem.

When we played OU in both the Russell Athletic and the Orange Bowls they were soft and we were able to impose our will on them on both sides of the line of scrimmage because they physically could not match up. That's a talent and strength and conditioning problem more than a coaching scheme problem.

Great game. I think Texas has a decent team, but much of that win Saturday was from OU seemingly playing two hand touch on defense.

Hate to say it, but a team with even a decent defense would beat the Horns.

You are right though, a good Texas football team is good for college football...


Also.... A good Texas football team makes for a more interesting conference realignment discussion.

There's XII decent, then there's everyone else's decent.

I'd venture to say take the top 5 defenses in the SEC, B1G, and ACC and they'd keep the horns in check.
