Lastly, why are we not talking about the real candidate here: TJ Otzelberger. Dude is 45, and on his 3rd HC gig. He’s probably got the most balanced team in the B12 and has taken his team to the S16 in a year they were supposed to be B12 bottom feeders.

As someone who leans left and has lived in Austin for 12 years (just moved home this year), I can tell you that UT sphere is much bigger than the city of Austin. Tons and tons of wealthy, wine and cheese conservative Christians from all over the state and beyond make up the fan base. If he wins there, which is all that matters, you can bet your ass they'll be praying before games tip off and shit.
Certainly - it would play better in wacky Waco & Baylor.
That said, the UT basketball fanbase pretty much blows and the stadium is never full....
