or adjacent conference schools.

Team X is our official rival, but Team Y, who is also in our conference/state, feels like a rival.....

Big guys don't play outside their geographic footprint.

A texas fan on reddit posted about how BYU feels like a rival after Taysom

I have a buddy that's a Texas alum that hates BYU for that reason also.

Then Tyler Hawes burned them in basketball.

Haws was so smooth. I miss the midrange he was so good at.

mulletino

And that fake pass move he had under the basket

Man Tyler was so smooth. And that dagger was much more off balance than I rememb

Also... the highlight announcer really didn’t deliver in Haws shot. Wish they

15 TX highlights to 3 for the winners, but it was LHN

I assumed they were gathering highlights thinking TX would win.

Typical ESPN, 98% of the highlights were Texas

Bleedblue44

And then in 2014 the Women’s Volleyball team knocked them out of the semifinals

Tyler Haws is probably the best mid-range shooter I've ever watched. So smooth.

BYU's 'Not a real rival' rival in his sense would probably be Washington, right?

ZacSeljaas'Stache

1/22/21 10:12am

CCU has gotta be on there now. But I agree with Washington

LeonMarek

1/22/21 10:17am

Yes - Washington def, now CCU. And I think Liberty has potential

Doi_Percent

1/22/21 10:55am

I'd prefer to never again play CCU or Liberty

I live in Texas and know a ton of Texas alumni and fans. A surprising number...

It was a turning point for the Texas program. Seeing that proud Texas defense

stenso

1/22/21 10:23am

And they still haven't figured it out

CelticCoug

1/22/21 10:37am

Honestly, it was good for Texas - more an awakening to reality than a turnpoint

krindorr

So invite BYU to join the conference so the rivalry can continue.

kmcougar

1/22/21 11:34am

That's one of the joys of independence. You can have better quality schools

Tarbo

1/22/21 10:16am

Byu is largely responsible for them getting rid of two quality coaches

cougarfann888

1/22/21 10:19am

Two?

WDaddy

1/22/21 10:24am

Directly manny Diaz indirectly Mack brown

cougarfann888

1/22/21 10:29am

Got it. I was just thinking HC.

WDaddy

1/22/21 10:34am

I wouldn't really consider Charlie Strong a quality coach, but he was pretty

Cougz19

1/22/21 11:08am

Maybe a former BYU QB can make it all good?

SinkingQuffa

1/22/21 10:25am

This is certainly a narrative

jxncoog

1/22/21 10:28am

BYU was the straw that broke the camels back. Mack had some bad recruiting

WDaddy

1/22/21 10:47am

No, the Texas Defense was responsible for not stopping Taysom and the BYU

coastcat

1/22/21 11:48am

Wonder how many OOC teams have a winning record against Texas (min 3 games)?

SV Coug

1/22/21 10:22am

These are the teams Texas has a losing record to with multiple games played

ZacSeljaas'Stache

1/22/21 10:24am

Vanderbilt is a real head scratcher. Must've had a great kicker 🙂

CelticCoug

1/22/21 10:31am

Vanderbilt is surprising

SV Coug

1/22/21 10:32am

So I'm guessing last game against Vandy was in the 1930s?

Y05

1/22/21 11:02am

And that one win against BYU was by a point, as I recall

NorthernLight

1/22/21 11:55am

That game was there for the taking too! 🙁

fulano

1/22/21 12:29pm

That one win in 2011 was tough. I thought BYU played much better and should

Punk Philosopher

1/22/21 2:06pm

To make a Texas Fan feel better, remind them they've won one against BYU. Oklahoma can't say that, they're O fer (0-2)!

That is definitely a CB'er posing as a Texas fan

Marc Spector

There's been a good rivalry in Women's Volleyball for a while as well.

fbguru

1/22/21 11:59am

And now they're hoping a former BYU QB can coach them back to national relevance
