His story and love of the UT has made him one of the most beloved Longhorns of all time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is right on par with what Texas has been for most of it's history. He also brought you out of the Charlie Strong era? How many wins a year were you averaging then?

Texas fans got extremely spoiled during that Mack run and it’s kind of changed the expectations they have. They look At that as the norm for Texas rather than its peak.

I don't want to get in a back and forth comparison of UT and A&M, we all have expectations going into a season. Both programs have the resources to compete at a top level year in and year out. Honestly, it really doesn't matter in today's game. Although we all want to be ranked at the highest, we just have to be one of the twelve to make the CFP.

I think most would agree that 3 NC's in 7 years is far greater than 9 consecutive double digit win seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of DKRs titles came before scholarship limitations and before every team was fully integrated. The game was definitely different then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh shoot, didn't see that; at quick glance thought headline said was leaving the program, and I just thought that Immediately meant he was transferring, not that he was dismissed! ***My first post wasn't correct, ignore that*** thx @Baron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just chalk it up as Lion being lion like y’all always do! Definitely not an expert in Texas Athletics lol! Shane Buechele? I don't think Texas fans dislike him, but he is more worthy of the Trevor Knight comparison. Sam wasn't the best QB, but Texas was in absolute rock bottom from the end of Mack Brown through the Charlie Strong era. He followed Jerrod Heard, Tyrone Swoopes, Case McCoy, etc. One of the weakest QB rooms year in and year out from 2011-2016. Ehlinger might not have been amazing, but you know that the dude was going to run through a brick wall and give everything he had every single Saturday . Plus, his personal story and love of the university is why I think he is VERY appreciated by Longhorn fans. I'll always back Ehlinger. He lost us some games early in his career, but he helped turn the page on those terrible early 2010 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Buechele and Ellinger are both on NFL rosters. @Lion7000 Texas fans have no complaints about either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
