Nice try, but the glory in that picture is fully dependent on the player being in that position. They could have just as easily cropped the player out and focused on O’Neal. Choices. But not really a big deal in the grand scheme. This is definitely consistent with the Texas brand. I don't entirely get this--the glory of a stuff block is fully dependent on your opponent losing the point. That's what a stuff is. It wasn't a picture of the stuff block, it was afterwards. So the glory is in the gloating.

Yes, Big Mouth, small brain.

Every athletic program competitive in a way no other school can equal. 18 sweet 16s in a row. 17 of 18 Elite Eights. 4 national championships. The most consistently successful program in the country. Haters gonna hate.

So the glory is in the gloating. It’s not the gloating. It’s in giving your all and coming out triumphant, when it could have easily gone the other way.

I’m having trouble reading your post after the “almost” part. I understand. No need to confront your own insecurities. lol Nice projection there. You’re the one on the Texas thread desperately trying to get your bitterness across. Texas won. Again. Deal with it. The fact is it was a hard fought win and the chances of going further seem slim, but that’s a big part of why the win is producing so many emotions of exaltation. I expected the team to win last year. The joy for this year is watching them accomplish something very difficult when they don’t have every advantage. I don’t feel insecure. I feel a tremendous amount of joy, and that’s what I’m seeing throughout the Texas community. Including the Texas social media page. You coming here and trying to sh1t all over our joy isn’t about my insecurities.

I’m of the belief that that could’ve been any Tennessee player on the ground and they would’ve still posted it. it’s a great picture. it just hurts Moore more than it would’ve any other Tennessee player of her history vs Texas. but that could’ve been anyone. I also don’t get the being upset from fans though lol. no one on the Texas team posted that, there was sh!t talk from BOTH SIDES all throughout the match so it’s not like Asjia was out of line or did anything wrong. I also fail to see the relevancy in not being able to brag about a sweet 16 win just because one of the other teams player got hurt and because it was a five set match lol. a sweet 16 win is a sweet 16 win. Tennessee was -4 with Torres and +1 without her anyways. it’s not like she went out and Texas just dominated after that. it was actually quite the opposite. Texas dominated set 1, then she went out at 16-14 in the second and Texas did horrible the rest of set 2 and then promptly lost set 3, before winning two deuce sets. You know good and well what it is. They desperately trying to latch on to anything to be negative about today because they are still upset about the outcome of the match last night

I’m confused, does squeaking by/almost losing add some sort of * to the win? will the stats show
“Texas has made 17 of the last 18 elite 8s*
*barely squeaked by Tennessee in 2023”

This is gonna make our games against them more intense. New rivalry? If it's one-sided, is it still a rivalry? I feel like we'll be more focused on A&M (actual historic rivalry) and Kentucky (losing a natty) Somebody tell Mary Wise that she and Florida can't dodge playing us any longer!

I feel like we'll be more focused on A&M (actual historic rivalry) and Kentucky (losing a natty) Arkansas will end up a rivalry simply because those folks are going to go apesh1t insane every time we play up there. I know I keep saying it, but Texas fans are about to be surprised at the reaction we get up there. You’ll see. Was hoping we'd never have to play in Barnhill Arena ever again (but that was in men's and women's hoops). I'm sure volleyball will get sent there in 2024.
