US EditionTexas Democrats propose resolution to ban Cruz from college playoffs: ‘Well-known curse’
- Harris County Democratic Party chairs Charles Kuffner and Bill Kelly proposed a resolution to ban Senator Ted Cruz from attending college playoff games in Texas.
- They advanced the resolution after a series of recent and past losses by Texas teams during games Cruz attended, suggesting a possible curse linked to his presence.
- The resolution highlights specific losses including the Houston Cougars in 2025, Texas Longhorns in 2024, and Texas Tech in 2019, citing Cruz's combined 1-8 record at these football games.
- Kelly remarked that few things strike more fear into college sports enthusiasts than the announcement, “I’m Ted Cruz and I’m coming to your game,” while statistics reveal that sports bettors have gone 15-2 against teams Cruz has personally supported since 2017.
- Though acknowledging the proposal’s humorous nature, Kuffner and Kelly intend to work with partners to prevent Cruz’s attendance at these events and suggest he focus on other activities.
