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 hes in attendance. Of course, as with anything that bounces around the internet, its 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 years 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 seasons American League Championship Series at Yankee Stadium when the Astros finished off the sweep of the Yankees.
Still, that didnt 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.
