He's delusional. The people who buy longhorn stuff aren't graduates of A&M, UH, or Baylor. They are either grads of Texas or a Texan not affliated with another college or university who sees UT merchandise as a way to show "Texas pride." (Not UT pride or {shudder} their desire to be part of the longhorn nation.)

Even though I'm not exactly the proudest Baylor Bear ever to come out of Waco, I definitely don't want to be a "citizen of Longhorn Nation," and not it's just because that's about the stupidest phrase I've ever heard, either. UT and Richard Justice can suck my green 'n' gold ass.

I rarely read his blogs and the only reason I know about this is because it was brought to my attention. I had to stick up for my university and call him out.

He always does this, it's just to boost the comments and chatter to make it seem like he's popular when really he's just provocative and not all that interesting or newsworthy. I find it best not to cater to his whims and just roll my eyes and ignore it rather than publicize it more.

He is the biggest flip-flopper I've ever read. This is just a sample of how ridiculous his writing has been over the course of the year. It gets worse and worse.

It's one thing for a local newspaper to allow their journalists to be abrasive for the sake of readership and attention, in entirely another to look the other way while he drags the reputation of the paper into the gutter with insults and arrogance. I canceled my subscription to the Chronicle because I feel like it's given up trying to do anything anymore as a respectable local newspaper. Dick is a big part of that.
