Tennessee now claims 6 as well.  The entire time I lived in Knox, I never heard anyone claim more than the '51 and '98 championships.  I noticed it on the stadium wall the year my family and I moved back to Texas in 2017.  This would have been at the spring game.

Tennessee's 1967 title claim is underrated in its stupidity. Lost to UCLA during the regular season (the same UCLA that O.J. Simpson's USC squad famously defeated to rise to the No. 1 ranking and win the national championship) and then lost to blOU in the Sugar Bowl. Finished the season with a 9-2 record and solidly behind one-loss USC, Oklahoma and UCLA.

I've got to say, I'm loving this confident, disdainful fire spitting Satya. More of him, please.

I continue to be thankful the Texas admin is not so thin-skinned and insecure to have to claim fake titles. 

We won our 4 fair and square and were absolutely deserved.  We don't have to make them up because some obsolete magazine or totally gamed computer ranked us #1 eight decades ago. We have actual trophies. 

Same with fake conference championships - you know who you are.

Some schools have no shame.

But Texas had a brief brush with similar stupidity.

I recall during the Mack Brown years one time the official Texas football website had added a “South Division championship” to that season’s record. 
It didn’t take long for that embarassing idiocy to be noticed and ignominiously removed.

Seems like I vaguely recall seeing that and thinking what the fuck.

That was my recollection as well

It didn't last long but it was 100% us being (justifiably) mad that we beat OU and didn't get to go to the Big 12 CCG

It was, if I recall correctly, posted only in the locker room for the players. It made it into a photograph that was published.

Texas in no way claimed a title in any official way. I think Brown posting for the players is okay as if to say, "we know who was best and we proved it." Morale and motivation and all that.

It's not Longhorn toxicity ruining these idiots; it's Aggie toxicity. Make shit up about Texas then embrace it as truth.

We don't even have to work at recruiting, we just send big checks. If Aggies say it, it must be true!

Dumbasses.

We just sent blank checks and proceeded to lose like 8 recruiting battles in a row like 2 months ago?

I'm not saying there weren't good justifications for the resentment, but the rules were set up before the season began. Beat Texas Tech and none of that shit matters. I wasn't happy with how it went down, but it's not like it was out of our control.

Those noble young athletes valued relationships over transactions.
