Yes.
I know someone who knew someone in their program and it's a whole bunch of players that expect to be treated like gold.
There was also something about how all of the 'behind the scenes' stuff on the LHN inflates the egos even more.

(Non-wagering) upside: ISU still owns the most recent no-TD-allowed game vs. Texas.
Haha, totally forgot about the 2 years at Houston. Totally blacked that out. I do remember him beating OU there and winning a lot in that second season. Lightning in a bottle maybe?
I think its beneficial that Baylor to won today. ISU was out of the Big 12 CG running anyways. Rhule might be at Baylor for the long haul, but them going 11-1 makes him really attractive for better jobs.
And Texas losing today, well **** them. They lost to ISU & Baylor in back to back weeks. Gonna make Herman's seat really hot next year, and the pressure will be on them.

I don't think an 8-4 record guarantees Herman keeps his job. Big12 record will decide and anything less than 7-2 in Big12 play and he might want to look elsewhere.
Yep. Texas will always have a quality of athlete that will make them a tough out. When UT is down though as it has been for the last decade, it helps the mid-range south teams like OSU and Baylor float upward, as they have.
Essentially, texas being down makes it harder to get to 3rd or 4th in the conference every year, texas being 'back' makes it harder to be 1-2 (as in that scenario, OU and Texas probably lock that up most years)
Says something about Saban's success. He's dealing with the same kinds of elite players but they deliver to their potential every year.
Yeah Texas has always seemed real arrogant and such but it really felt like after Colt McCoy that their underachieving seasons are beyond the talent.
Saban doesn't seem to sugar coat things and maybe just tells them if they don't want to win a title and get exposure for the NFL, someone else will play and you can gfy.
I don't think the facilities really help them in the long run. It may get recruits in the door, but at what point does that affect their drive? Especially in football, you need to have some grit. Does the fancy locker rooms and theatre seats for film rooms prepare you for that?
I think as long as we have things rolling with this coaching staff, I'd rather have Texas be down. Baylor has caught some magic in a bottle and some good luck this year. They've earned it, but there is very little difference between them and us. I'm not convinced they stay that good.
False. I played the second half spread at 15.5 when they were up by 14 and driving.
Predictably, in this week's presser the MensaMan was asked to his face if he was 'shaken' and whether or not he was still the right man for the job. Herman tried to make a 'drop the mic' joke of it, but if he's as smart as he claims, he probably wonders if this might be the beginning of the end with the Texa$ media.
The expectations of neither the fans nor the media are going to change. Nobody is willing to accept a "new reality" down there.
Plus, I read that UT has had at least four losses for TEN years in a row, even after their great win against Georgia last year in the Sugar bowl.
Nebraska? Lost at least four games for the last SIXTEEN years in a row!
Herman better win 9+ next year or he is gone.
