This sentiment is and always has been central to their collective fantasy which casts Texas as the fortunate rich kid whose successes have never been earned and casts themselves as the virtuous underdogs. The actual people involved don’t change this. So of course every Texas player and coach is a selfish, arrogant, shallow diva while all ags are genuine hard-working men of character.
When you start with this conclusion (and then try to support it at all costs), you kinda have to tap into a level of cognitive dissonance that most can’t reach. Never mind that it is their program, not Texas’s, that has repeatedly been caught cheating, and that they are the ones constantly boasting about how wealthy their program is - they are the virtuous underdogs.
