Roll2Tide, it's hard not to agree with you. Absolutely. Everyone hates the Longhorns...
...except the multitudes of Longhorn "t-shirt" fans across the country that have made Texas the top-selling merchandising university...
...except the multitudes who regularly attend UT games and set UT towards the top of attendance numbers in most sports...
...except highly-rated recruits in almost every sport, which obviously are being misled by snake-oil coaches...
...except every recruit rating service, which elevates the rank of every UT recruit solely based on them committing to UT...
...except the NCAA infracton committee, which regularly overlooks rampant cheating in the UT athletic department, and refuses to give anything other than wrist-slap penalties when obviously UT deserves the death penalty...
...except the NCAA athletics certification committee, which only approves the sports that UT is good at when deciding which sports should be granted full NCAA recognition, leaving such popular sports as Equestrian out in the cold...
...except the NCAA as a whole, which regularly gives UT the easiest possible opponent in every post-season tournament or appearance in any sport while giving UT rivals the hardest path imagineable...
...except the referees in every sport, which apparently will make all calls in UT's favor, even when the play was obviously in the other team's favor...
...except every rating service in every sport, which obviously over-inflates UT's standings and ranks them well above where they deserve to be, notably overlooking the egregious mis-calls by the referees above...
...except the police departments anywhere, who obviously ignore the law and their own moral standing by allowing UT athletes to commit any crime they care to without penalty...
...except all members of the legal system, that clearly allow any UT athletes that actually are stopped for any infraction to be let free without penalty, despite the extreme severity of their crimes...
...except the university ranking services that over-inflate UT's academics, accomplishments, and alumni, severely missing the obvious quality that many universities were small and all-male until VERY recently, and it's going to take awhile to make up that historical disparity...
...except...
...except...
