Another narrative I’ve enjoyed watching is their sudden demonization of spending money on facilities. Sure, NIL is only a few years old, and they spent over a decade jizzing all over their new facilities, and how they were the best in the country, and so much better than UT’s and proof they were the real joneses, only to turn around and blame money wasted on facilities 10 years ago as the reason their NIL can’t compete.
they’re literally chewing off the leg of their biggest point of pride in the last 10 years because it’s the only way they can escape the cognitive dissonance trap of who they are without an honest look in the mirror. “Our problem is we spent all the money on those damn facilities 10 years before NIL existed! Goddamn those T sips again and their lucky timing!”
Nevermind the money for those facilities came from a loan from the university. Nevermind in the same period of time Texas, very recently, also upgraded all of our facilities with more on the way. Nevermind that their stadium, empirically, is the actual shithole.
It’s never their fault. It’s amazing to watch.
