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. It’s like Gregory with more people. And those people are mildly insane and hate Texas with the passion of a thousand burning suns.

especially given the circumstances of Tennessee losing a key player to injury. Texas sure is doing a lot of gloating on their page for barely squeaking by. Plus it’s not even like tenn and Texas have some sort of rivalry… like why post a picture of Moore on the ground like that That isn’t gloating. That’s being excited about a hard fought win after giving your complete all. I’ve never seen Texas go out of their way as an institution to get others to like us. It’s why so many other fan bases consider us so arrogant, hate us, and can’t wait to knock us off our perch. The social media team reflects this perfectly. I grew up with it many decades ago so it all seems natural to me. I love the social media post and I hope they keep doing what they do. Lets not act like it wasn’t a highly contested match with both sides chirping at each other such as the Tennessee middle who points at O’Neal with 2 hands after blocking her. Only to almost hurt herself trying to block O’Neal on the next play. All I read was Texas hasn’t beaten a team as good as Tennessee, now all I read is you shouldn't be happy about beating Tennessee. Anytime you lose a match you should be pissed off, if Texas loses to Stanford they will be pissed but I can almost guarantee it won’t be because of some Stanford IG post after the match.

Lots of wins. Lots of championships. 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. You forgot ... almost lost to Tennessee You can add that your growing list of *

If Nebraska beats Arkansas on Saturday afternoon, does that mean Texas is the honorary post-season SEC Champions as we at least will have breath into the night?

"Barely" and "almost" are the best the haters can do in accepting the Texas win . . .

yall saw Moore's comment?!??!? lmaooo I can’t even blame her. she’s 0-4 against Texas, including knocking her out of the tournament twice. she’s hit under .100 3/4 matches too (and the other was .167) Let's clear some sh1t up. She hit below .050 3/4 matches.

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. The fact that you can't see beyond your immediate gratification is the whole point. Let's see how things go for y'all in the SEC.

4th set comeback & full 5th set horns vs vols That point in the fifth where Jenna is fully standing with both feet off the court and she plays the ball anyway, I wanted to scream. We still got the point but my goodness, she made us work for it lmao Did you see the part where Sullivan jumps up and has his arms spread in a "WTF" motion? And then when we win the point, he thinks about saying something but then sits back down.

on the post Moore commented "stfu texas" with a horns down emoji oneal responded directly to her comment "all love girl. lots of respect for you as a person and player" ive said in other threads im all for some stare downs, I dont LOVE that texas decided to post a picture of oneal screaming across the net staring down Moore, I do think its a little bit disrespectful but not a big deal in the end. thats just my take especially given the circumstances of Tennessee losing a key player to injury. Texas sure is doing a lot of gloating on their page for barely squeaking by. Plus it’s not even like tenn and Texas have some sort of rivalry… like why post a picture of Moore on the ground like that Look, it's the SEC Welcome Wagon arriving a few months early! I'll take seating for two!

stanford is going to read the hell out of madi if texas is sparingly setting the second outside If they’re not doing that they’re dumb. Wenaas is going to get set because she’s the left pin. But she’s going to get a lot of trash sets which will give the Stanford block the chance to get set up anyway. I’m willing to bet even if they’re trying to key on Skinner out of the back row, that’s going to be a tough task. She’s pretty good. I’d also like to take our chances with a keyed on Skinner than an in system Wenaas. I know Wenaas will get swings, but if she’s the difference in the match I don’t think we’re talking about a Texas victory here. I also don’t think the Stanford middle blocking is the strength of their team. Kipp, Baird, Rubin, Miner, and Oglivie are their strengths. I like Francis and Vicini, too, but they don’t scare me the way the rest of their team does.

Can’t 2 things be true at the same time?
On its face, the post is pretty d!ckish, borderline mean spirited
But also the post is pretty on brand with the type of culture Texas seems to want to cultivate, “The Villain” archetype or whatever.
Tbh after Saturday no one will care much about this anymore but my thing is just that it seems really unnecessary/purposeful to not crop/blur Moore out of the photo but hey I’m not on the media team
