Frankly, I think the way to shut up a "horns down" is simply to keep the other team out of the end zone. Winning is always the best revenge.
Austin, as a whole, has a major case of California envy. They lap up every kooky idea coming from San Francisco and Berkeley. I say that as a Longhorn alum.
I understand that last year UT passed a new regulation that all men would be required to take a course in "toxic masculinity". I responded that must be why the Longhorn defense plays like a bunch of pussies.
Hahahaha. Back when the country had a sense of humor.
Roger that ;-)
