Perfectly encapsulated the entitled, fair-weather nature of sip fans.

He explained how t.u. fans expect excellence and if they don't get it, they either leave or remain silent until excellence is displayed. He indicated that this was one of the great things about the t.u. fan-base. He ridiculed other fans who "yell themselves hoarse during a football game." Kudos to you Mr. English, not only did you explain why t.u. fans are so lame, but you fully endorsed said lamewaditude.

One national title in almost 50 years and they "expect" it?

Heard that too what a fn joke! Show us good football then we will yell. Chump brown said season ticket renewals were down 12,000 from last year to near 1998 levels. So what do they do? Yep extend the deadline for renewing. Classic.

Chris Simms will be relieved to hear that.

So, most of the fan base doesn't really give a damn about the school associated with the program. Instead, most of them are just the same front-running d'bags you see following around whichever DFW or Houston pro sports team might be having success in a given year.

So not showing up or keeping it library quiet is supporting your team?

Yes, this is how the fans of the elite operate. We don't have any other examples, because they are the only elite team.

I can't see them taking on a third active lawsuit when the sips find out that the Silent Scare is a Texas Tech trademark.

I met and knew Doug during Slocum's years, which was a great time to live in Austin. Doug didn't say squat about football or fans in those days.

Not exactly unique to Texas. Look at Florida the last few years and their attendance. Two seasons ago I was in tiger stadium for the AGS game and there were a lot of empty seats. When expectations aren't being met its easy to find something else to do for entertainment

What is unique is making apathy seem like a way of supporting your team.

He was also talking about the core values and said Chuck was blind to the athlete's talent. If they go off-core, they're done. Bucky and Erin were esting that s*** up.

Lbk...you're right about the apathy. I just don't know how else you can get it through to the decision makers. I couldn't support what was happening with the team and wasn't going to go to the game with a bag over my head!

He and my dad played together and I can verify the Capitol tour guide thing. It was a lot for the 70s

Thought Doug English was a good guy, not another Horn blowhard. Garrett Gilbert calls bull**** on "remain silent".

She said almost, cupcake. In the last 45 years (that would be the almost part) your t-shirt team has won exactly 1 national championship.

Yeah on wiki not only do they claim the 1970 season where they lost their bowl game and ended up ranked #3, but they include a list of "unclaimed" national championships.

quote:
Unclaimed national titles - 11 (1914, 1918, 1930, 1941, 1945, 1947, 1950, 1968, 1977, 1981, 2008)

This includes:
1930 and 1941 seasons where they lost and tied one game, only winning 8 (which we know from today's whorns those are mediocre seasons)
1945 and 1947 seasons where they each had a loss and ended up being ranked #10 and #5
1950 where they lost 2 games
1968 where they tied Houston and lost to Texas Tech
1977 where they lost their bowl game
1981 where they again tied Houston and then lost to Arky (but had more than 2 yards of rushing)
2008 when Crabtree dreamed it in his head

The correct answer is 2 if we're using 45 years as the mark...Just FYI

so Doug is still living in his ivory tower world of the old days. Someone needs to inform him that those days are dead and gone. There is a new game in town.

From silence, excellence is born.

Said no one ever in the history of achievers.

Silence is apathy.

Please remain silent.
