Anybody else notice this? Anytime I read comments about recruits LSU and UT are both trying to get. The UT fans always try to make it seem like we pay players and other shite.

Pretty hypocritical considering how shady Mack Brown and his staff is. Straight dumpster fire in Austin.

Main reason I bring this up is because it seems like they hate on LSU way more than any other school.

Is their any residual animosity from the past? Or are they just jealous of success while they can't even win the Big12?

This, plus they think LSU is inferior to UT in every way.

ETA: As someone who grew up in Dallas, I definitely am familiar with the UT arrogance.

Pretty sure they have some animosity towards Texas A&M.

I think there is some animosity from the Les Miles recruiting years since we have been somewhat successful at plucking top Texas recruits.

After reading this site over the past year, I still think Texas A&M fans are far bigger arrogant pricks.

I'm pretty sure that it started when Ryan Perrileaux dropped their sorry arses at the last minute.

I know about 8 years ago UT fans had a hard time admitting LSU was a more successful program in terms of the trophy case even though they didn't have the UT history.

Basically Perriloux. Terrance Toliver somewhat, and the association with Will Lyles.

Then they go and hire the RB coach that was our recruiting coordinator during that era

I'm an Austinite with UT pals. I've honestly never heard this. It could be that UT fans have about 50% the fervor LSU fans have. If that.

I met a Texas fan a couple of years ago that swore up and down that the NCAA personally had a problem with Texas and the BIG 12, and that is why they had been "overlooked" every year the SEC won the BCS Title game and a BIG 12 team hadn't. That fan base and college has seriously got to be the most delusional in the whole country. I think the whole failure of "The Longhorn Network" has proven that.

Some Texas recruits want to come here (and defensive in particular) because LSU has proven to cook a better dish with less ingredients. If LSU had all the resources and advantages over a conference that Texas does, we would probably have about 6 or 7 BCS Titles this decade.

With all that said, they are just jealous and butthurt that an "inferior school in Louisiana" is kicking their asses.

I live in Austin and their hate for LSU is strong. They think Les is a joke and they were very proud of themselves for flipping the Davis kid last year.

That said, the radio hosts here are very objective.

The older I get the more I realize people care about way too much stuff.

they were so above dealing with street agents and offering underclassman...until their program fell apart and now they are offering 8th graders and their lead recruiter is Larry Porter who is tied to more street agents than Trooper Taylor.

Anyone who doesn't believe his school pays players is as naive as it comes. LSU and Texas both do it.. everyone does it.

If you change Texas for LSU and LSU for Alabama you get pretty much the same thing frankly.

Meh...UT has nothing left in their tank except for hate and spite for other successful teams and schools. Let them wallow in it.

it's a tex-arse thanng. many atm fans are just as bad but their vitriol is tempered by their even bigger hate/jealousy trip with ut. that said, all fan bases have their twits. if you read the rant enough...this you will understand.

get better.

Overall, it's probably as simple as a few idiots who think it's clever to spell L$U with a dollar sign.

I remember they used to say how much we paid recruits, even mentioning Larry Porter by name.

Then they hired Larry Porter.
