Fuck Kirk Herbstreit.

[Revolution512 1,487]

Fans find other things to do when Texas sports suck. Aggy doesn’t (total goddamn lie, empty stadium pics readily available) they are soooo passionate.

[David Dennison 18,856]

Texas will win another national championship before aggy wins the SEC.

That's all you need to know about Texas and aggy.

Texas doesn't seem to care about football as much as other schools because people in Austin are successful and have meaningful lives outside of college football. I'm not even kidding it's exactly what he said.

Unpopular opinion:

Is he wrong? Is that a bad thing?

Everyone here knows the home crowd at DKR is often lackluster; or if they don’t they’re either lying to themself or have never been to a game. Texas draws like 16 fans for basketball games. We’ve all made fun of OU for still having to go back to Norman after we take a L. Look at where the highest fan interest is concentrated - SEC, B1G, B12, also known as generally the lower quality of life areas in the country. Austin sticks out in the B12 and it will stick out in the SEC.

I don’t don’t really see anything inaccurate or offensive about what he said.

The only thing that bothered me is the notion that somehow other fans "care" more.  He made the statement that Texas fans show up as long as we're winning.  The schools he lists like Ohio State, Aggy, Bama, etc as having rabid fan bases are all winning right now.  It's not a coincidence they are selling out every game.  How was that A&M attendance when they were getting beat 77-0 and losing to Tech every year.  Not so stellar.  Oh, but they all chant and kiss their ugly women when they score--they must really care about their team.

But he's right, Horn fans have lives outside of football, and we live in cities where there are things to do so football doesn't occupy our thoughts 24/7.  But we also support our team the same as anyone else.

[Davis Lane 5,583]

So insufficient coaching the last 10+ years wasn't mentioned, amiright?

If it wasn't that's par for the course for Herbstreit.

He tries too hard to be a "hot-take" guy.

Oh and....he did pick aggy to win the Big12 in 05.

Agree with your overall sentiment, but beyond that, the thing is, it's not true.  At least, it's not true about A&M.  I can't speak for Ohio State or Alabama because I've never been to either stadium. 

But even now, since being in the SEC, the ags will sell out and all show up against Alabama or LSU, but the stadium is 1/4 empty when playing Ole Miss or South Carolina.  And it's at least 1/3 empty when they play their never-ending stream of scrubs like Lamar, UTSA, Northwestern State, Nichols, etc.

Yes I understand.  Cesspool Herbstreit was talking about the passion of the fans, not athletic department revenue.  Passionate fans don't buy tickets and then not show up.

I'm not sure about that. The tickets for our suckass soccer team were the hottest item of the summer. No reason for a good Texas team to not generate some good buzz.

I wouldn't piss on a burning Kirk Herbstreit. I certainly don't give a shit what he says. He's a twit with an agenda. When will he become involved in politics? 

[Valmy77 13,226]

What is his metric? We have been top 10 in attendance all this time despite being not being very good.

I am certainly first to admit that the best fans are there cheering on their 0-11 team trying to become 1-11 and I doubt many Texas fans would find that fun. But I don't think anybody else's fans would either.

South Carolina was selling out one year afer 0-11.  I find that outstanding and yet crazy.

Well fair enough. Hard to beat that. It would be like if the Detroit Lions were selling out in 2009.

Well if that's the metric, then Nebraska fans are indeed the greatest EVAR based on ROI

Man, you guys are some whiny bitches. Who gives a shit about any of this? I’m sure EVERY school has a similar thread about some announcer who said one negative thing about their school so they must hate us.

I thought his Texas dick riding was because we have a Manning on the team. I didn’t know he was friends with Sark but that makes sense. It’s weird having him praise us non-stop when we were such a “cesspool” for so long.

I didnt hear any disdain in his voice, more like surprise that bama was getting worked like a rented mule.

He’s done nothing but praise Texas and Sark on Twitter since the game and continues to like a retweet Texas Football posts today.
