Lets not complicate this....
They soft.
Hard-nosed, blue collar football wins championships.
They like to shine and flash and be cute and are a product of Dallas, an owner who coddles and plays favorites (usually wasting money on them), a fanbase and city that likes the glam and hype and helps foster a soft mentality, and they just plain aren't "hard" enough to do more than be front runners and win the easy ones, where they can flash and shine and pose and act like they are on top or something.
Then reality hits when someone comes in with a real football mentality..and hits them in the mouth. They eventually bow up when their backs are against the wall...and say...uh-oh...we better be better if we want to fulfill our hype and get that glory.....but then it's too late. You've been exposed...in the game or in the season. That's not how glory comes. It comes scratching and clawing in the dirt, one inch at a time.
Players come there who would be tougher elsewhere and they go soft, too...cause that is the culture.
And I do not think Dak is near the leader he gets credit for being FWIW
Crazy..I reread this before posting and realized, with the exception of the locale and the Dak comment, my post could pretty much be about UT the past few years...
