Because the Texas Longhorns and Ohio State Buckeyes put together to go head-to-head in Friday’s Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas, some sports activities followers have a pointed message to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz: Keep far-off. 

Their messages come after the senator and Vice President-elect JD Vance, an Ohio native and Buckeyes supporter, agreed to a pleasant wager on social media. Beneath the principles of the guess, which Cruz initiated, the Republican affiliated with the dropping faculty (Ohio State College for Vance and the College of Texas at Austin for Cruz) should ship meals and beer from their dwelling state to the winner whereas carrying the victorious workforce’s jersey.

Cruz posted the phrases of the guess to X on Tuesday, and Vance rapidly agreed to take part.

Cruz responded: “The one attainable reply is Blue Bell ice cream. Plus Texas BBQ & Shiner Bock beer. However, it gained’t matter as a result of the Horns are gonna win! Texas by 5.

For sports activities followers, this recreation is of the utmost significance because the winner will go on to face the winner of the Orange Bowl for the faculty soccer nationwide championship. And there may be, in fact, an argument that Ohio State and UT-Austin alumni ought to care concerning the recreation, too. There’s only one downside: Cruz, who as soon as in contrast UT-Austin’s soccer workforce to teenage ladies due to a poor efficiency, is the son of a Longhorn, however in any other case, he has no agency ties to the varsity. 

Maybe most significantly, although, he’s cursed.

“JD, this man has zero authority to wager on behalf of the Texas Longhorns and should be blocked and reported,” one Austin-based parody account posted to X.

“STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THE COTTON BOWL,” one other Austin-based account warned Cruz. 

Earlier than these assaults on Cruz, a latest Change.org petition sought to ban Cruz from all UT-Austin sporting occasions, claiming the transphobic and customarily loathsome senator is “just pla[i]n bad luck” and brings “downright sinister energy” to video games he attends.

Despite the fact that the net marketing campaign amassed solely about 2,200 signatures, the signees’ level is properly taken. Cruz has attended a number of essential video games the place Texas groups have fallen wanting expectations. 


Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, left, waves whereas attending a recreation between the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros on Oct. 23, 2022, in New York.

In October, the Houston Astros misplaced to the Detroit Tigers whereas Cruz was in attendance. Then there’s the Longhorn faculty soccer playoff recreation during which they went up in opposition to the Washington Huskies. Once more, Texas misplaced—and, to no shock, Cruz was there. And the senator was additionally blamed for jinxing the Houston Rockets in the course of the 2018 NBA playoffs. 

Fairly than play it cool and shrug it off, Cruz decried “dishonest press hacks blaming me for the Longhorn’s heartbreaking loss” final January, earlier than itemizing a number of video games he’d attended the place, really, Texas groups didn’t lose, thanks very a lot.

It’s considerably laughable that amid turmoil in Washington, D.C., Cruz and Vance are specializing in sports activities. Don’t they’ve extra necessary issues to deal with? Or have Republicans already forgotten that its members appear to have no clue cross President-elect Donald Trump’s agenda? 

Sarcastically, for all his time posting on-line, Cruz is considerably in the course of the D.C. infighting. Whereas Trump and, by default, Vance have inspired congressional Republicans to cross one sweeping invoice containing mainly Trump’s entire agenda—from stringent immigration measures to tax reform and vitality coverage—Cruz has stated that this possible gained’t occur and has advocated for passing two or extra smaller payments.

However such issues seem to finish up on the

 again burner throughout soccer season. Priorities! For his half, Vance particularly appears to like utilizing soccer as an excuse to mingle with a number of the worst individuals on the planet.

The stakes are particularly excessive as a result of the Longhorns are at present a six-point underdog for Friday’s recreation. So, please, Cruz, from one Texan to a different, keep far, far-off from the stadium and don’t break our probabilities of profitable but once more.
