What If I Were To Tell You That You Had to Push a Button and Re-live 15 Seasons of Texas Football Forever

[Surly Bevo 24708]

Option 1 is to re-live the 1990-2004 Season

Option 2 is to re-live the 2005-2019 Season (yes I realize the 2019 season hasn't happened yet, so your optimism or lack of it could be a factor)

 

Which 15 season stretch do you pick?  Note....that which you pick is what you live, forever.

So, a national championship, playing for at least one more, bookended with a season likely to be at least "good" and potentially "great"? Or Miami in the Cotton Bowl, Rout 66, and I am forever in a conference with aggy? 

No brainer.

[Surly Bevo 24708]

Well yea if you pick the worst of one stretch and the best of the other you can make it an easy argument.  I mean I could also easily say more conference titles, a couple Cotton Bowls and Rose Bowl Win, a Heisman Trophy season vs losing to Kansas and constantly getting face fucked by the likes of TCU and for a while there....Baylor

The one that includes 2005. I would be guaranteed an undefeated season and national championship once every 15 years.

Is this technology now available?

[Spoetzl 181]

For purposes of this, 2005-2019.  But if there was a third option of 1957-1971, I’d take that one.

True, but National Championships, while great, also seem a bigger deal now because of how the Mouse spins the season toward them and makes everything about them.  Don't get me wrong ours was fucking awesome but taken in total was that 15 year period really more fun overall?  

Miami sucked, but did the whole 1990 season suck?  Not to me.  

1996, we were not really all that good, but doing what we did to Nebraska?  That was fucking awesome

I guess I don't see it as clear cut as most.

Which one has your mom in it

[F250 28716]

For the next survey, who would you rather date, Kristen Schaal or Alison Brie?

Your mom and I both pick the second option ('05-'19). We first met in '05.❤️

[Surly Bevo 24708]

Have the last 15 seasons really been all that fun to live through?   Again 2005, great.  2008 was also a lot of fun.  Other than that...meh.  2009 really wasn't fun because of the expectations.  Last year for how it ended had multiple shitty losses, including MD again.  

 

[HornsOverIthaca 2333]

I know which 15 seconds I'd choose.

[Born Burnt 6168]

Option 3: Slam a pocket door on my balls.

[texaslong 678]

Easy. 2005-06 National Championship and watching aggy leave in 2011 were all I needed.

You're accusing... ESPN... of making national fucking championships "seem a bigger deal now"?

What? 

Bro there's a reason why people can name most of the key contributors from the 1969 season and can't do the same about 1973. 

ESPN?? foh

Not what I meant.  It's a bigger deal now because the definition of a successful season has become much more focused/defined on winning it.  Sure when you win, it's a big deal but back in the 70s or even any time pre BCS it wasn't the ongoing thing it is now. 

 

It was win your conference, win your bowl...see how it works out.  Now we got weekly rankings reveal shows and Paw taking calls daily.

I'm right there with you on the 57 to 71 stretch.  Graduated in 71 and I know prior to my 4 years on campus, there were some pretty amazing seasons, including 1958 win over ou with a 2 point conversion, the great 61-63 seasons and 68 thru 70 seasons.  3 national titles. Also, the 69 Texas - Arkansas game.  I could easily relive that stretch.

[Vic Mackey 46937]

How is this really a question? 2005-2009 was easily the best stretch. 2 national championship appearances. 2008 should have been but got a BCS win there. 2006 we had a legit shot at another appearance not for the McCoy injury (I think it was him?). I'll take that over the previous any day of the week. Especially since we at least won one of the national championships.

[mulletpelini 5210]

Give me the one with the '99 B12 Championship

[Zavala 1384]

Pretty obvious for me, I'm a man and I'm 30. I graduated 2010 so it's really obvious what era I would want to relive. I didn't really live the previous era. I couldn't tell you much other than James Brown was a badass.

You can say whatever you want. But the feeling I got in my body, mind, and soul watching Vince cross the goal line after the legendary Keith Jackson uttered "4th and 5, the National Championship is on the line right here." It was the pinnacle for me as a sports fan that nothing will top.

I know. I was there. It was the pinnacle it was amazing and yes I as a sports fan know that at age 30 I peaked out.

Yep anything that includes that moment is #1 for me

[Machinator 32098]

I think this would be a more interesting question if you stripped out the national championship season and compared 1990-2004 to 2006-2019.

Agreed, that is a much more difficult decision. I'd probably still go 2006-2019, I just really didn't like Mackovic at all. But missing Ricky's 98 season would suck. 

[TrashMaster G 17395]

I got laid a lot more during Option #1, so that.

I'll take 2006-2019. Still another national championship appearance there. 2008 was fun as hell, especially the OU game with Shipley's kickoff return TD.
