Ahh...maybe the wolf is because I'm GreenWolf.
Yes, the elephant, crimson tide they are all names from actual football newspaper articles, or radio on big games and national championships won by ALABAMA.
Right now TCU looks a lot better than Texas. They have a tough defense and a high scoring offense. From the looks of it, Texas might be the only team in the Big 12 even trying to play defense.
BTW, I was living in Dallas when Arkansas moved over to the SEC and Texas and Texas A&M both were scared to death that if they came over to the SEC they would never win another conference championship. They could not stand the high level of competition in the SEC. That's why they jumped into the Big 12.
Texas might not even be as good as the third best team in the SEC.
