Anthony's beloved Texas Longhorns stormed back in the final seconds to beat Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl, temporarily dulling the pain he was feeling in his hand.

Yes, yes, Carmleo Anthony broke his shooting hand, but what was that last part ... his "beloved Texas Longhorns"? As we all know, Anthony spent his one and only college year at Syracuse. He was born in Brooklyn. He grew up in Baltimore. (His favorite pro football team? The Ravens.) He played prep ball at Oak Hill Academy in Virginia. His entire NBA career has been based in Denver. None of those places are within spitting distance of Texas. In fact, his only apparent connection at all with the Longhorns or Austin is when he smoked them for a freshman-record 33 points in the National Semifinal back in 2003. You always hurt the ones you love?

Pretty comical. Althought I don't think he's a Texas douche. He is just a douche in all and every aspect of life.

I agree!

I still don't get all the UT hate...then again, I don't really hate any schools (other than Boise St)

The guy is a professional basketball plyer...that should pretty much sum it up!

Important distinction - Texas douche is not about hating Texas. It is about supporting a school you have no real affiliation with except that you like that they win - especially at a non-related event.

For example, if you go to a Stars game in a Michigan jersey, you might think "hey, I'm michigan douche." But, if you're following Marty Turco closely and loved him since college, the jersey relates (it's a little known clause - like if people start wearing Cobbs Miami jerseys to our games next year.)

However, if you wear a UT, A&M, Baylor or any other non-related jersey, sweatshirt or whatever to the game - you get the douche tag. It's not malice, it's just asking for fan appropriate rooting.

Also, why do people where branded team merchandise to church?

Because God is a Cowboy fan and he understands when we have to leave mid-way through communion to yell at Ed Werder and complain about how T.O. has tarnished the star.
