Ted Cruz: UT's Unlucky Charm?

Is Ted Cruz bad luck for the University of Texas? It's a question that's been swirling around the Longhorns faithful ever since the senator started making appearances at their games. And honestly, it's hard to argue against the evidence.

Let's rewind a bit. Cruz, a proud UT alum (and let's be real, he loves to remind everyone of that fact), decided to show his school spirit by attending some of their games. The problem? Things started going south for the Longhorns real quick. It started with the football team, who completely choked in some big games after his presence. It wasn't just football either, the basketball team seemed to lose their mojo whenever Cruz was in the stands.

Now, I'm not saying the senator is literally a jinx. But it's hard to ignore the correlation. Maybe it's just a coincidence, maybe it's a case of "bad juju" (like my grandma would say), or maybe it's just the law of averages catching up. Whatever the reason, it's definitely become a hot topic in the UT world.

The Numbers Don't Lie

Let's take a look at the data. Since Ted Cruz started showing up at games, UT's win percentage has taken a serious nosedive. And it's not just in the big games, the Longhorns have struggled across the board. The really strange part is that their opponents seem to magically step up their game. It's like they know Cruz is there and want to prove him wrong.

What's a Longhorn to Do?

So, what's a die-hard UT fan to do? Do we beg Cruz to stay away from games? Do we start blaming our losses on his presence? Or do we just try to ignore it all and hope things get better? It's a tough one, but maybe it's time for the senator to stick to politics and leave the sports fandom to the real fans. After all, there's already enough pressure on the players without adding the "Ted Cruz jinx" to the mix.

The bottom line is this: it's a fun debate, and it's definitely got Longhorn fans talking. Whether it's real or just in our heads, one thing's for sure, Ted Cruz's presence at UT games is definitely making things interesting.
