On October 9, 2021, the sky seemed to be the limit for the Texas Longhorns. To illuminate, Texas was 4-1, ranked #21 and climbing, and jumped out to a 28-7 1st quarter lead over Oklahoma. Steve Sarkisian was being celebrated as the savior of Burnt Orange football. Texas fans were celebrating early and taunting the OU faithful. And then the betting on College Football roof caved in at the Cotton Bowl. Oklahoma beat Texas 55-48, and things have never been the same. As a result of that loss, the Longhorns have been exposed. They remain soft, entitled, tea-sippers.
