You know, what's super weird about all of this, is that WE'RE not the ones proclaiming Texas must save the SEC's reputation. WE'RE not the ones asserting Texas is some savior to the conference. WE'RE not the ones suggesting that this is anything more than an early season intersectional football game between two Top 10 teams, that should be a lot of fun.
Longhorn fans want to win this game because it's against an all time blueblood, because it's against the defending national champs, and because we want our favorite team to win EVERY game it plays.
It has nothing to do with the SEC. Texas wasn't an SEC team when this game was scheduled, and even if it had been, it still wouldn't have anything to do with the SEC.
And yet idiot blowhards like this ag will simultaneously call us the villain while still casting us in the role of savior and ultimately blame sip arrogance for daring to believe we're worthy of representing the conference.
WE. DON'T. CARE.
