I know the final score every time I watch the 2006 Rose Bowl. Doesn't make a bit of difference to my enjoyment. Because similar to your gif, we already knew the ending before it began.
One of the long-lasting benefits of going while still at the top of your game. Imagine a world where it goes another 3-4 seasons with one of the four leaving and being replaced by a new character. Probably Cousin Jeffrey. We all owe Jerry a debt for going out when he did.
Despite the groupthink on this board regarding Texas' ability to improve over the course of the season ("they did this before, they always will"), teams do improve.
I call for some type of retroactive chain of losses annexation provision. USF beats Rice next week, then all of that territory should fall to Texas based on the transitive property transfer principle. TX>Rice+TX>Bama>USF>Rice=TX land as long as still undefeated.
Heard the Cincy score being given on the Horns radio broadcast and wondered why they were spending time recounting the game, but then I realized it was a Big 12 team they were talking about. Completely forgot they were in the conference.
But way to represent.
