I can never tell if Richard Justice is being serious or silly – it’s too hard to tell the difference with him – so if this is intended as a joke, then I guess it’s on me. If he really means it, then all I can say is “WTF?”
Whether you attended UH or A&M, Texas Tech or Texas State, you’re a Longhorn this week. Lucky for you, the bandwagon is plenty big enough. Mack can afford to have a leather seat installed for your comfort.
Texas Tech fans have stopped pouting about the firing of a coach that deserved to be fired and gotten on with their lives. Somewhere down the road, Tech fans are going to feel awfully silly about getting worked up over this guy. He’s not worth it.
UH fans are over the disappointment of their bowl loss and can take a break from praying that (a) Kevin Sumlin doesn’t leave and (b) that someone writes Mack Rhoades for a check for $100 million.
A&M fans? Friends, that’s a sad, sad story. I still believe in Mike Sherman no matter what the facts say. I’m in my Dick Cheney mode on this one. I’m not going to let the facts get in the way of a good, strong opinion.
Sorry, I’m still shaking my head in disbelief. As one commenter pointed out, by this logic we should all be rooting for the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl as well. I assure you, it’ll be a cold day in hell before that happens.
I mean, look. If I tune into this game, I expect I’ll root for the Horns. No real reason not to, and besides, Nick Saban is a tool. But if you want to pull for Bama because you can’t stand burnt orange or whatever, that’s fine by me. Last I checked, we all still had the right to whatever colors we wanted to fly, no matter what Richard Justice says.
UPDATE: Richard Connelly for the opposition.
I’ve often wondered why the name Richard was shortened to Dick, then Justice started writing for the Chronicle. It all makes sense to me now.
Different state and more years ago than I care to count, but I remember my favorite shirt when I was attending University of Arizona.
My Two Favorite Teams:
1. U of A
2. Whoever plays ASU this week
That didn’t go away come bowl time, either.
Justice’s Mike Sherman comment says it all: To hell with the facts, I prefer my opinions!
If worse behavior from Bob Knight hadn’t been excused and tolerated, I might feel differently, but Mike Leach’s trial by media IMO was a disgrace. Personally I hope A&M fires Sherman, hires Leach, and he comes back to whip Tech’s ass year in and year out for the foreseeable future.
As for the BCS Championship: Hook ’em.
He’s never quite figured out how to do that tongue in cheek jokey kind of blog post without confusing people as to what’s genuine and what’s sarcasm. He did the same thing during the college world series this year which didn’t really work out for him.
…by this logic we should all be rooting for the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl as well. I assure you, it’ll be a cold day in hell before that happens.
Well let’s see, on Thursday it’s going to get down to 17 degrees in Dallas. That’s pretty cold…so I guess you’ll be cheering for the Cowgirls?
Hey, Buhallin, I still feel that way about ASU, and my attendance at UofA began in 1968!
If I tune into the game, I’ll probably root for Alabama. No real reason – other than I can’t stand burnt orange and the UT band’s gimmicky cowboy getup.
