    I understand 100%.

    For some reason, when I see or hear 'blueblood', the first thing my mind goes to is college basketball. Not sure why.

    Yeah no true definition. But to me…if a team is Top 10 all-time in wins, national championships, or certainly both…you have a claim. That’s blue blood territory for sure. For example, tech is definitely a blue blood in meat judging.

    I agree a Tech fan has little if any ground to throw darts.

    Their best conference finishes in the past 12 years are 5th in 2015 and 4th last year, so they have that going for them.

    As far a peoples faces, I meant that since our last title was nearing 20 years ago I don't often go there with people at the office when we start arguing about football.

    And I don’t talk about it to people at the office either. But if a tech fan wants to talk to me about what a blue blood is..I’ll happily engage.

    We claim 4 and we have had 2 since 1970. Not exactly something I throw in peoples faces at the office.

    That and just about anyone can claim a 'chip, especially prior to the BCS era. Hell, Alabama quietly added 5-6 championships to their history in the 1980s and people just kind of laughed at that.

    I don’t think it’s throwing it in “peoples” faces. Only to a tech fan that acts like he knows what a blue blood actually is. Coming from a fan of a program that’s never won a national championship in any of the three major college sports…that’s rich.

    No UT fan can bitch about officiating to a Tech fan.  The body of work of officiating between our games has heavily favored UT.  The worst example was 2006 in Lubbock where the officiating was so blatantly biased for UT it became obvious early there was nothing Tech could do to win the game.  Countless games in Austin where either Bible or Christal or both would call the most egregious calls that went in UT's favor.  Also the game at UT where they knocked out Potts with an obvious helmet-to-helmet violation and nothing was called.  2010 in Lubbock (I think was the year) was another one that was crazy blatant that it was something out of a movie it felt like (though 2006 was probably even worse than that).

    UT has been the beneficiary of so much ref bias over the years that a couple of times they didn't get it (and I admit that one OSU game in Austin was bad), all of a sudden it's a giant conspiracy against them.  So easy for them to whitewash the DECADES of ref bias that went in their favor.

    but you will soon be SEC's problem, and all I can say is, good riddance.  I've never seen the conference so united as it is now, and it's not a coincidence that UT leaving helped facilitate that.

    Yeah, but you are butthurt because you know it has a ring of truth to it.

    #5 in all-time wins, #8 in all-time national championships, and the only team in this state to win a football championship since World War II and we’ve won 4 of them. Yeah we’re a blue blood.

    All the whining about the B12 makes you sound just like aggy. Could we just ignore it and move on.

    Bullshit. It’s pretty unprecedented for someone in that type of position to say something like that. That motherfucker needs to be shamed and ridiculed relentlessly this season. Aggy makes up and lies about shit to whine about…big difference there.

    Great Old post by @CowtownHorn

    "Just want to give a shout out to this guy since we’re 10 days away. Those weren’t the greatest years for UT football but those 4 wins over OU were pretty damn awesome. I was in attendance for 2 of those 4 wins. My years in high school aligned with his years at Texas. I wanted to be just like him so I wore number 10 as well. The pass to Johnny Walker in the last minute of the 89 game is one of my favorite memories of the RRS."
