The Cruz Curse-The Univ. of Texas is doomed due to the Cruz Curse



Texas has to beat Ohio State and the Ted Cruz curse? Quinn Ewers goes to number 1 QB in Texas history if he pulls this off. Already not looking good





Ted Cruz at the cotton bowl. Well it was a good run guys.

UT is doomed. Not only is Cruz is at the game, but he made a bet with JD Vance

Not all Longhorn fans are thrilled with the friendly banter, because there are some that believe in what has become known as the Cruz Curse, in which the team he supports loses whenever he’s in attendance. Of course, as with anything that bounces around the internet, it’s not entirely based on fact. Cruz has been at plenty of losses for the home team, including the Longhorns' defeat at the hands of Washington in last year’s CFP semifinal, but he also was at Minute Maid Park for one of the Astros' biggest home wins in franchise history: Game 6 of the 2022 World Series. He also was at Game 4 of that season’s American League Championship Series at Yankee Stadium when the Astros finished off the sweep of the Yankees.

Still, that didn’t stop Texas fans from fanning the flames of the supposed curse.

“JD, this man has zero authority to wager on behalf of the Texas Longhorns and should be blocked and reported,” wrote Evil MoPac, an Austin-based parody account on Twitter with nearly 60,000 followers.
