It's much worse in Texas. Much much worse. It's mostly a cultural thing, everything is bigger in Texas, was its own country, etc...

Means they are completely clueless with anything dealing with a team other than Texas.

Just gameday experience lameness. I remember all these reports coming back of how rowdy it was at Ohio State. People used CURSE WORDS! People stood up and gave opposing fans hard times! Oh My! I expected there was actually a riot, or a beer can pegging someone in the face. Then I went to my first UT game. Everyone sits down and is quiet. They blast loud music since they fans can't make any noise. Just a really weak atmosphere. Fans are not enthusiastic one bit, except when they are on a title run. It's like they are too high and mighty to actually get into the game- that would be too "Aggie-like". It goes back to the whole A&M vs. Texas thing. You know which group you belong with. If you are passionate and a bit off-base, you go to A&M. If you are high and mighty and think you are better than that, you go to UT. Having hot chicks doesn't make you less lame, although it definitely is much better here than in Ohio, when you had to wait until after winter just to figure out if girls were fat or not.
fair, fair, spending a lot of years just coming short of the big time / disappointing expectations is going to do this

Mack is just a slick politician, with the same annoying grin on his face no matter what. Did he play college football? I see no toughness out of him. Most likely he was a cheerleader if anything. He uses the media to try to make his case instead of doing it on the field. Just a huge baby and whiner. Then "we deserve the national title for sneaking out a win against Ohio State" lol. He totally babied Vince Young and is part of the reason why Vince is on suicide watch. I just can't stand the guy.

Go hang with Steve Bellisari, brother. Go hang with Steve Bellisari.
The thing is, Vince got too much credit. I said it all year- Texas had an amazing defense that season. Vince tried to give away a lot of games, and the defense kept them around. Eventually Vince gets hot and makes a big play and gets all the credit. Look at the USC game. Everyone gives Vince the credit. Did he make the 4th down stop? The guy was the definition of variance. He could make a great play or he could make an awful INT and look like ass. Look at the Ohio State game. The story was "Vince won the game". Bull**** I say, Vince tried to give that one away, was bailed out by the defense a ton of times, then finally made a good drive at the end. How many INTs and fumbles did he give the ball to Ohio State. Texas's defense held Ohio State on a short field to FGs, and that is what kept them in the game. He had 2 INTs, and 1 fumble (recoverd by Vince). 3 turnovers deep in their own territory that led to only 9 points. That's defense. Vince had some great abilities to destroy horrible defenses, but was the most overrated player in the history of college sports (even over Jesus himself). The guy is dumb as a rock and emotionally as fragile as a 12 year old girl with braces and too many freckles. I do have more respect for Bellisari than him, just because Bellisari isn't a pussy. Krenzel, now that's clutch.
