Off the top of my head, most of the SEC Shorts schtick about Texas revolves around Texas being richer than everybody else.  Which.....is true, but eventually is kind of a one-trick pony in their skits.  I could be misremembering. 

What I noticed was, by about halfway through the season, they really didn't include Texas much at all.  I really think they just didn't know where to take it.  I get it, it's tough to consider Texas an "SEC school."  Texas certainly doesn't think of itself as such.

But I imagine they'll find a way to do it.  If they care to.

Those clashes with Leach and Tech vs A&M were epic. I recently looked up our Big 12 record with Tech and I was somewhat surprised to find that we were 6-10 vs Tech across that time. As I recall, Leach was coach there for about 10-12 of those games so I’m not shocked that it was so bad. We lost a couple to Spike Dykes and crew in the late 90’s but Tech and Leach were very formidable in the mid-2000’s until they fired him.

Not sure if anybody remembers but about 2006ish A&M had a pretty good team. It might have been a year or two before or after. Anyways believe it or not we were in contention for the Big 12 South, having lost a few games by a handful of points including OU at Kyle by 2 points I think. Anyways we lost to Tech at the very end of the game. Their WR caught a heavily defended pass in the end zone for a TD. As he was walking off the field the sideline reporter asked him for a comment and he said “ sometimes a pirate beats a soldier”. 

I can admire the man now but that one stung.
