Social Media Reacts to Kansas Beating Texas

Posted on November 14, 2021

One could argue that there is no better sports bar in America than Twitter. It is a place where fans can come together and talk smack about each other’s teams or brag about their own.

Twitter can be an interesting place after a big upset win as memes fly out faster than you can blink. Saturday provided plenty of memorable moments but after Kansas beat Texas, the internet lost their minds.

The Kansas Jayhawks, as a program, have a $100M athletics budget across all sports for this fiscal year.

The Texas Longhorns posted a $105M profit in football alone last year – a pandemic year, no less.

Texas just lost to Kansas in football.

Kansas entered Saturday 0-100 as an underdog of at least 24 points since the 1978 FBS/FCS split, by far the worst W-L in FBS over that span.

Florida: We're going to play the most embarrassing first half in America, just watch.

Texas: Hold my margarita. And my emotional support monkey.

I know it's JUST a game. But the Kansas Jayhawks beat Texas for the first time EVER in Austin and only the 4th time in the series history! First conference win in two years and first conference road game since 2008. https://t.co/Qja26heHdG
