This wasn't just some regular season game. This was the biggest regular season game in the history of football.
Any program that is as storied or as successful as UT SHOULD be, should ever attempt to do something so damn disgraceful. Lyle is clueless and this is just reason number 1,453,572,100 as to why he should be canned after his first day on the job. You pull this shit at Cincinnati.
It's sad that a university pays for rings for anything other than a conference or a national title. I'm not saying it's Butch's fault, I'm saying it's stupid this is even a thing
Exactly. And also, not pissed. Just further solidifies the truth that this clown sucks in every aspect of his job. And those above him match that level of suck.
I'd point to exhibit A and B, South Carolina and Vanderbilt, as examples of his ineptitude. None of this rings shit matters.
We did. Had a buddy who was a kicker in HS, walked on for one year - 1998 - dressed for HC, and never rose above 4th on depth chart, IIRC. That was the only year he played, and got both rings. He's now a National Championship winning dentist.

I mean, the main issue with these things is we have athletic departments with 9 figure revenues not giving players 5% of that and those athletic departments trying to appear like they care about athletes.
