re: Oklahoma Also Getting Fed Up with Texas

no - the only "rediculous" talking in this thread - is your inability to admit that LSU and Texas, while not neck and Neck, are a lot closer in terms of overall success than you are saying.

your being a typical Homer and being both unwilling and inflexible to admit that your team is closer to others - and that "not even close" is a false statement in regards to what Chicken was offering as a counter to you.

its ok to be a fan of a team - but at least be objective and open minded - its what seperates you from Bama Fans.

I think he was booming you because you said 2007

Ah, my mistake. 2003 then. The gist of my post remains the same. In 1970, Nebraska finished first in the AP poll, while Texas finished first in the coaches' poll. He said that invalidated the national championship claim by Texas.

Following the 2003 season, USC finished first in the AP poll, while LSU finished first in the coaches' poll. By that same standard, would LSU's national championship be invalidated? I know you're going to bring up the BCS formula, but are you really saying that computer models make a significant difference?

Chicken was also making the point that the overall win totals would look much different if LSU, in fact, had played in the SWC all those years and Texas had played in the SEC.

That's impossible to determine. Texas has a winning record against almost every member of the SEC.

that may be so man - but its still fits into the overall picture - and that picture is that LSU and Texas are closer in overall success than what your origional statement said.

Ok, LSU is closer than Texas than I may have initially let on in some statistical categories. And they are certainly much closer to Texas than Texas A&M could ever dream of being.

At some point the NCAA will rule against the LH-Network as an improper recruiting benefit. In the end I think TX will get hurt by all of this. I am perfectly fine with that happening!

And has been so scared to play SEC teams that it only played one SEC team more than 10 times - LSU (and even then was scared that LSU would tie the series, luckily you got the Cotton Bowl win when LSU's QB had been knocked out for the seaso

Alabama - 9 games, 2 in the last 30 years (1-1)
Arky (legitimate winning record, but who doesn't vs Arky?)
Auburn 8 games, 2-2 in the last 30 years
Florida 3 games (UT hasn't played UF since 1940!)
Georgia 4 games, 1 game in last 30 years, a loss.
Kentucky 1 game, a win in 1951
LSU 15 games, 9-7-1 (One of the few SEC teams played 10+ times, barely a winning %)
Ole Miss 6 games, none since 1966
State 4 games, 2-2 o/a, 1-2 since 1990 (UT doesn't even have a winning record vs STATE!)
South Carolina 1 game, a win in 1957
Tennessee 3 games, none since 1968
Vandy 10 games, UT is 2-7-2 vs the Commodores!

Texas has been notoriously cowardly in scheduling SEC teams over the years. They' rather beat up on Baylor and Rice, etc...

I do see Texas has [played Notre Dame 10 times - and is only 2-8 vs the Irish!

Look at this list and tell me how many in the top 20 Texas plays regularly, racking up that fine o/a win%, and tell me how many LSU has played over the years...

Top teams all-time

And now look at this list and see who Texas has played over the years...

1. A&M (110)
2. OU (102)
3. Baylor (99)
4. Rice (92)
5. TCU (79)
6. Arky (76)
7. SMU (73)
8. TTech (60)
9. Houston (60)
10. Okie Lite (25)
11. SW Texas (22)
12. Colo (18)
13. Missouri (18)

What a freaking Murder's Row.

Texas is SO overblown.
