How long do you want to ignore this user?

There are three stages of life in Texas football.
1.) Obsession with Texas Longhorns (age 7-15)
2.) Acceptance of Texas A&M (15-22)
3.) Regret of not attending Texas Tech (22-99)

Thanks 1BFish!
12-0, you accidentally typed "not" in stage 3.
You see, that is why Tech doesn't not get the blue-chipped recruits. They are still "young, dumb, and..." By the time they realize the errors of their ways it is much to late and regret sets in.
Actually, you don't get the blue chip recruits because none of them want to play for your pos school. In addition, many of them feel compelled to play for championships which automatically disqualifies Tek.
Gotta love it!
Why do the Aggie players talk about UT in the papers? Isn't this the third year in a row where something like this has come out? I think it's a harmless quote by a player whose excited about his first game as an Aggie, but a true Freshman would be better served by keeping his mouth shut. JMO.
agreed Fig, a true fish with one game under his belt as well.....
quote:I hate to rain on your parade, Justin. Your sophomore year was 2000. Texas played at Texas Tech. Maybe the reason you weren't so impressed with the Texas fans was that you were in the wrong freakin' town.
I went to a Texas game when I was a sophomore on an unofficial visit, when the Longhorns played Texas Tech. The fans were OK, but when I went to the A&M-Virginia Tech game last year, the Aggie fans were on their feet and screaming the whole time.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
The older I get the more entertaining I find Big 12 -0!
Maybe he went to a bar in Austin where people were watching the Texas-Texas Tech game. Sounds like Justin will fit well in CS.
The last A&M linebacker to talk "smack" to UT:
quote:
Penright said, 'Texas is not good enough to beat us'.
He didn't say a&m could beat Texas, he just said he feels no tackle can block him. Based on his experience against the a&m o line this summer, that may well be true.
The sips are right. Warren could be chillin' in delusionland with chokenship dreams.
Who wouldn't want to be a part of a team that is next to last in its division. That's the dream of every athlete. If a guy can't tell the difference between Lubbock and Austin, maybe he can't tell the difference between winning and losing.
What he said is so true...sip fans only care about getting drunk and booing when they are losing. A&M fans are the most loyal in the country. Good to see that this recruit didn't buy in to the fakeness.

What was the attendance Sat night at Kyle. I think there were over 83,000 in the rain at DKR. I'm sure a&m had more given they are the greatest fans around.
So if it was the game in Austin in 2001, he witnessed a raping of Kliff and Krew... a game in which there was no need to celebrate when the game was decided in the 2nd quarter.
Instead, he liked watching the Ags play dismally on offense and lose. Guess he'll fit right in there.

That's funny, the media around the country seems to disagree with you sips. Because year after year, A&M fans are voted the most loyal and are stadium is voted the best to see a college football game. Sorry...facts are facts whether you like them or not.
Cajun, given your home record lately, are you sure it wasn't opposing teams that voted Kyle the best place to play?
Those aren't facts, they're opinions. Every school has its share of sunshine-pumpers and boobirds. We've all encountered them on both sides.
I guess getting batteries thrown at him just wasn't his cup of tea. You sips should mix it up a bit, D-cell Duracell is so predictable. "Real fans" can chunk Energizer 9 volts with just as much velocity.
9-volts cost to much for the trailer-trash to be throwing away.
Didn't the sportscasters on the UNL/OSU game say Nebraska fans were the best in the country?
Seems to me that A&M was still selling out their stadium even through the bad years, or at least 90% of capacity.
Of course UT will sell out their stadium, they're ranked in the top 5 in the country. How was attendance when UT was a doormat?

It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't the best either. I think in the McWilliams/Mackovic era there were usually between 70-75K, when the stadium only held 75K. There were the random Rice games that would only pull in 68K.
We used to bring in the ghetto metal bleachers like A&M still does, too. Got over 80,000 for UH in 1990 and ND in 1996.

THIS IS AN AGGIE MYTH.
Sellout your home opener for the beginning of a new era and then we will talk.
You must remember, our alumni only come from Texas A&M - College Station. The horns have "alumni" from UT-Arlington, SW Texas State, Angelo State, Texas Tech, Sam Houston State, etc.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Mr. Herbstriet's opinion trumps that of a few dozen sips who camp out on a rival's message forum.
Jock, that might hold water if Herbstreit doesn't say something to the same effect every other week.
I would have to agree Jock. CBSSPORTSLINE knows a thing or two as well. Let's see, national media, or a few sips on thier rival's website?!
