    These are delusional UH fans

    I think I asked if UH played the Aggies at NRG
    Who’d have more fans from Houston

    he said UH
    I think it’s like 75% Aggies

    like when Rice played UT in Houston

    The Arkansas vs Texas game sold out
    It’s been sold out for awhile

    This wouldn’t happen between BYU
    And Arkansas

    Texas just negotiated a bigger payout than Bama by $20 M? Yeah it’s not close. Lol

    The incoming 4 soften the blow though and the numbers on the next contract will be pretty good imo

    You didn't read very closely. I said from what I've read BYU ratings are comparable to UT. Citing a single game with unspecified opponents is dumb.

    I didn't say that it was something i claimed. I said i read it in a couple of places.

    UT is a mid-level Big 12 program. Since they expanded with TCU and WV, UT is about 6th or 7th in wins... that's more than a decade...

    It's not bashing at all, it's reality.

    UT brings cash to the conference, not product. It's been 15 years roughly since they've been a threat nationally...

    The BIG XII has not been elite in a long time.

    It has been the worst (or second) of the major conferences for awhile now.

    It has been inevitable that UT would leave the Big XII and it was inevitable that OU wouldn't stick around as the only gorilla left in the conference.

    The Big XII has been long term harmed with the inevitable defection of UT and OU.

    The Big XII did the best they could by targeting UH, BYU and Cincy and a team in Florida. It will keep the conference from likely collapsing in the short and medium term. UH and Cincy both are capable of improving and being relevant getting bumped up to the Big XII.

    College football is an UGLY business full of greed.

    Thanks for reminding everyone i was correct in predicting the Big 12 surviving through expansion...

    I do love the cognitive dissonance of believing the SEC is better competition so UT will win more and not less...

    Classic Longhorn education there... i can't believe i had them as my safe school all those years ago...

    Quantity over quality, right?

    UCF is bigger than UT, so if they sell more tickets that makes them a better team, right?

    I'm not sure how facts = hate, can you explain?

    I said ut has been a mid-level team for more than a decade, not Kansas....

    That's true, fewer wins than Oklahoma, Oklahoma state, Baylor, TCU.... i forget whether tech had morenor not... i think fewer...

    West Virginia may have more...

    People watch the Dallas Cowboys, does that make them Super Bowl contenders?

    I have family that went to UH and friends... nothing wrong with the school but mine has won more games than UT over the past 12 years...

    I know that doesn't narrow it down much but i don't care...

    Definitely didn’t get into a real school

    Funny to see Longhorn fans get all insulted by apathy over them leaving... I'm far more upset over Oklahoma leaving because they have been given run by the national media giving the conference more notoriety...

    UT is getting what they wanted. Why are Longhorn fans now complaining about being the second best SEC program in Texas? Why would they care what the rest of the Big 12 thinks?

    That insecure huh? 5 wins a year in the SEC will do that to you i guess...

    Not sure at this point he actually went to any school. Otherwise why’s he afraid to say which one?

    And Texas is one of them.... if you round up to their benefit...

    So you're saying Oklahoma, a single school, is the difference and solely making the Big 12 a power 5?
