That's a nice sentiment, but genuine atmosphere doesn't win football games. Texas Longhorns averaged over 103,000 fans per game last season, and their home-field advantage is a proven factor, contributing to an undefeated home record. Your passion is real, but our resources and talent acquisition, like finishing with a top 5 recruiting class, translate directly to on-field performance. Big Cat Stadium's energy is great, but you can't ignore that Texas ranked 3rd nationally in scoring offense at 36 points per game. That production comes from elite talent, which those rankings you dismiss are actually pretty good at identifying.
