Cruz Petition: Longhorns Fans Fear Curse
The Texas Longhorns are facing a tough situation as the 2023 season approaches, and it's not just the schedule that's got fans worried. A recent petition calling for the firing of head coach Steve Sarkisian has unleashed a wave of fear and uncertainty, with some fans convinced it's a bad omen for the team.
The petition, which quickly gained traction on social media, has been a major talking point among Longhorns fans. They believe that firing a coach, especially before the season even starts, is a sign of desperation and could lead to a disastrous year. The phrase "curse" is thrown around a lot, and honestly, it's not hard to see where they're coming from.
Think about it: the last time the Longhorns fired a coach before the season, it led to a string of losing seasons. The pressure on Sarkisian is huge, especially with the expectations for the program soaring after a successful recruiting class. The petition isn't just about Sarkisian's performance, it's about the future of the program. Fans are scared they're heading down a dangerous path. But hey, maybe this is just a bit of pre-season jitters. Maybe the Longhorns will prove the doubters wrong and have a fantastic season.
The impact of this petition goes beyond the coaching staff and the players. It's a reflection of the passion and dedication of the Longhorns fanbase, a fanbase that's known for its unwavering loyalty and, yes, sometimes, their superstitious beliefs. It's a tough situation all around, and only time will tell how it plays out. One thing's for sure, though: the eyes of the college football world are on Austin, Texas, and the Longhorns are under a lot of pressure to perform.
