August 20Aug 20 Tennessee now claims 6 as well. The entire time I lived in Knox, I never heard anyone claim more than the '51 and '98 championships. I noticed it on the stadium wall the year my family and I moved back to Texas in 2017. This would have been at the spring game.

Lost to UCLA during the regular season (the same UCLA that O.J. Simpson's USC squad famously defeated to rise to the No. 1 ranking and win the national championship) and then lost to blOU in the Sugar Bowl. Finished the season with a 9-2 record and solidly behind one-loss USC, Oklahoma and UCLA.

August 20Aug 20 I continue to be thankful the Texas admin is not so thin-skinned and insecure to have to claim fake titles. We won our 4 fair and square and were absolutely deserved. We don't have to make them up because some obsolete magazine or totally gamed computer ranked us #1 eight decades ago. We have actual trophies. Same with fake conference championships - you know who you are.
August 20Aug 20 These retroactive non-titles are nothing short of pitiful and reek of desperation. Including you, Bama.

I recall during the Mack Brown years one time the official Texas football website had added a “South Division championship” to that season’s record. It didn’t take long for that embarassing idiocy to be noticed and ignominiously removed. Edited August 20Aug 20 by Armybrat

August 20Aug 20 It was, if I recall correctly, posted only in the locker room for the players. It made it into a photograph that was published. Texas in no way claimed a title in any official way. I think Brown posting for the players is okay as if to say, "we know who was best and we proved it." Morale and motivation and all that.

August 20Aug 20 It's not Longhorn toxicity ruining these idiots; it's Aggie toxicity. Make shit up about Texas then embrace it as truth. We don't even have to work at recruiting, we just send big checks. If Aggies say it, it must be true! Dumbasses.

Yes we knew the rules but a few bad actors affected the outcome I guess I missed where Leach was actively trying to tank us. Was he advocating for Tech by voting against Texas or was he trying to give OU a boost? Serious question. If he was indeed attempting to unfairly sabotage us, then I question what is our board's favorable view with the now dead pirate.

Realistically, Briles and Leach never touched their ballots. It was someone under the SID who had an axe to grind against big bad mean ol' Texas. So glad we are no longer every team's super bowl even if we are in an illiterate conference.

It's particularly pathetic for Bama since they have so many legit championships. My favorite to bring up in coversation is the championship they claim from 1941. They got shutout by both Vanderbilt and Mississippi State, and finished #20 in the AP poll, but put it on the wall anyway! Edited August 21Aug 21 by Baconboy

The way I remember it, both Leach and Briles had Texas ranked lower than everyone else, outside of the top 5; it ensured that OU was ahead of Texas and the coaches poll impacted the BCS standings or whatever the tiebreaker was. I think Briles had Texas like #7 or something stupid. I assumed the reason was because he believed that Texas winning another title was not good for his program.
