I'll get this moved into General Sports later, however, this was too much of an EPIC screwup by Texas to where even Fox Sports Southwest noticed it.

The problem?  So did some Sooners fans.

Texas typos on Athletics Site URL on every page of their 2014 CFB Media Guide - Web address listed as "TexsaSports.com". Look closely at the domain shown.

And as indicated, the Sooners Fanbase noticed it: http://TexsaSports.com (Domain registered TODAY)

Since Fox Sports pulled their link, here's others with similar stories.

Awesome!!!  ;D  ::hornsdown::

But, bad form for Fox Sports to take the link down already.

Edit:  Doug, this is exactly why I (personally) would like a "share with twitter/facebook" button or functionality. (Not to tell you how to run the site  ;) )

I have to admit that buying the domain name was a stroke of genius even for a cheating sooner!

Hating on Texsa is an Arkansan's birthright.
I would rather live as if there is a God and find out there isn't, than to live as if there isn't and find out there is.

Even as we read this thread, someone is printing up zillions of "Texsa Sucks" (et al) T-shirts.  They will be seen in stadiums all across the Big 12 this season.

Would have been able to sell tens of thousands of them to Hog and Aggie fans - IF we played them this year.

Maybe those shirts should read "tejsa sukcs".

LOL that is great.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

I think we should default the spelling on HV of Texas to Texsa for a year to honor them, except in the case of Texass.
