Besides the ones listed here, there was one on a return (kick, I think) where our returner was clearly OOB, and the defender had him wrapped up then threw him to the ground at least 3 yards OOB. Just seemed to me that should have garnered an unsportsmanlike call. There's a lot of talk about coaching (of lack of) for preparedness and so forth. But poor sportsmanship is also coached, or allowed by coaches. And then it's brushed off as "intimidation" by the broadcasters/media. Used to be that kind of play would cost a team.
That stuff and all the taunting and horns down, etc. just tarnishes the game, as far as I am concerned. I am glad that humility and sportsmanship are part of Sark's culture. When people do that kind of stuff, taking borderline cheap shots even, it only exhibits to me a pretty large inferiority complex.
And yes, there will be plenty who take that as arrogance, and point to the scoreboard as the sole measure of a team or competitor. Maybe it is, but maybe that excellence in our institution is something others envy, and over time doing things the right way and with good sportsmanship pays off, reputation wise. And that draws in the best coaches, players, fans, etc. I doubt that any other team in FBS can claim as much hatred directed at them all year long, from so many different parties, as the Longhorns. And it plays to their credit that they don't lash out due to frustration, and maintain composure after the game. I mean it's got to be pretty hard to embrace all that hate and not take a swing at someone.
I'd like to see some of that return to college football, but maybe it's too late, maybe the money is too big?
