Phil,
The classic example has and always will be that great Aggie baseball team with the million dollar infield, picked to waltz through the SWC on their way to a dominating performance in winning Omaha.
Problem along the way to the CWS? They dropped 7 games to the Horns.
Were the Aggies more talented? Sure
Was Chandler a better coach? Is this a trick question?
Only explanation - Aggies will invariably Aggie-it
My daughter bet her science teacher (an Aggie) that Texas would win the initial series. The loser had to spend one entire day at school wearing the winning school's shirt. My daughter hand painted him a t-shirt, with the scores of the games, the alltime record against the other school, the number of SWC championships, number of appearances in Omaha. True to his word, he wore that shirt the entire day.
