The Texas Longhorns delivered a resounding blowout victory over Texas Tech on Friday, clinching a spot in the Big 12 conference title game. In doing so, they also took the opportunity to taunt Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark, who had made controversial comments earlier in the season. With this win, Texas asserted their dominance ahead of their move to the SEC next year.

Yormark had stirred the pot in August, urging Texas Tech to prevail in their regular-season finale against Texas. Referencing the Red Raiders' overtime win against the Longhorns last season, he said, "you better take care of business like you did right here in Lubbock last year." However, the outcome on Friday night did not go as Yormark had hoped.

Amidst their 57-7 triumph, the Longhorns displayed Yormark's comments on the video board at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium. Accompanied by bold text that read "see y'all in Arlington," the message left no doubt about Texas' intentions for the conference title game. The display served as a clear indication that Texas had remembered Yormark's words and used them to fuel their motivation.

Initially, Texas head coach Steve Sarkisian downplayed the significance of Yormark's comments, stating that the team was focused on their own goals. Sarkisian also revealed that he had received a letter from the commissioner about sportsmanship the day before Yormark's speech, questioning the mixed signals being sent.

Texas' taunting of Yormark may be seen as petty, but it aligns with Sarkisian's concerns about sportsmanship and raises questions about the commissioner's communication style. With an impressive overall record of 11-1, the Longhorns now have the opportunity to make a College Football Playoff appearance before bidding farewell to the Big 12.

As Texas moves forward, their emphatic win and bold taunting serve as a statement of their prowess and determination. The Longhorns have secured their spot in the conference title game, and all eyes will be on them as they aim to make a lasting impact before departing for the SEC.
