Is Richard Justice on Crack?

If you read sports blogs regularly, you might think Houston Chronicle "journalist" and University of Texas alumnus Richard Justice might have bumped his head often when he was younger. Some of the things he writes are just downright stupid.

Here is an example from today's blog:

If you're a fan of the Coogs or Aggies or Red Raiders, welcome aboard. Texas is your team, too.The University of Texas was born to give our state one university of the first class. Regardless of where you went to school, Texas belongs to you. Texas isn't No. 1 in merchandise sales because graduates are buying the stuff. Texas is No. 1 because people that went to Tech and UH and A&M and other places want to be citizens of Longhorn Nation.

Really, Dick? Do you have nothing better to do than make up crap? Houstonist understands taking pride in your alma mater but this is just ridiculous. This is a perfect example why a lot of people hate UT alums because of arrogant stuff like this. It's one thing to think it but to write about it and say A&M, UH and Tech alums and students are all T-shirt fans? That's just disrespectful and crappy journalism.

Take pride in your university, Dick. Enjoy the win. Enjoy the recent success. But don't make arrogant statements like this. People say the brain is the first to go when old age comes. It looks like the process has been in full effect for Richard Justice for quite some time now.
