Hate In College Football

Texas: Okay so they won a national championship in 2005...whoopty freaking do.  Despite being the flagship university in such a talent rich state and signing numerous 4 and 5 star prospects during Mack Brown's tenure, no team has done less, or under-achieved more, than the 'Whorns.  These are the people who; a) pushed the Big 12 on us, b) took away our annual rivalry with Oklahoma and c) bought the votes of just about every other school to side with them on just about every issue.  For example, it was Texas that proposed, pushed for and eventually brought about a conference championship game.  More recently, Texas has tried to get the conference title game moved permanently to the state of Texas.  And now we come to the really important reason why I hate Texas-they always find a way to beat Nebraska.  I could stomach the losses if Texas was just flat out better.  I could handle the defeats if they out-played Nebraska for all four quarters.  But that's rarely been the case; to wit, 1999, Correll Buckhalter after breaking off what appears to be a TD run fumbles the ball at the two or three yard line, Texas recovers and goes on to win the game.  There have been so many times Nebraska should've beaten Texas and for one reason or another; bad coaching decisions-former DC Craig Bohl's decision not to blitz the 'Whorns on a 4th and 19, the wrong-sided blitz last year, bad player decisions-Terrence Nunn and Jammal Lord comes to mind-it's so incredibly frustrating.  It just seems that all the quirky little bounces always seems to go the ‘Whorns way-horns down.

1^st Tier of Apathy: Oklahoma State, TexasA&M and Texas Tech.

Oklahoma State: The problem with the Cowboys is you never really know which team will show up.  When they are focused they can play football with anyone and when they’re not well, they end up losing to teams like Troy and Houston.  The Cowboys are at best an also ran in the Big 12 south.  The folks in Stillwater have achieved mid-level success but that’s as far as the train goes.  Top tier talent will never go to OSU when they have Nebraska, Texas and Oklahoma to choose from.
