Nothing has changed. Throwing tortillas at the Aggie Band. Loudly booing kids on the Jumbotron in Aggie gear.

Tech was a gift by the Lege to West Texas. But it isn't a good school so joke is on West Texas.

They're like Midwest schools due in part to Panhandle weather being more like Midwest. So come out for round ball in winter.

It's not as good as ours tbh…better offense. Defense is poor.

Not gonna lie, the constant booing of toddlers and babies on the jumbotron was pretty funny.

Their crowd outnumbered us 4:1.

If you live in Lubbock, you look for any reason to leave town!

Yeah I was there today and think it was 80% Tech fans. Was disappointed in the turnout from Ags.

Definitely felt like an away game. Makes the W even more impressive!

I was there, It will go down as a neutral site game but might as well have been a home game for Tech!

We were sitting down close to the band and there were some thrown from shorter range that few in the arena would have seen.

With the turnout of tech fans, it looks like they will have a standing invitation at dickies arena every year.
Yes tech has not changed their stripes, booing kids on the Jumbotron. It got old.

In defense of hefners mostly zero stat line, we did get to see what I believe to be, his first shot block of the season.

Biggest mistake for me was parking in the parking garage. Never doing that again. What a cluster.

The garage can be hit or miss. For major concerts they often have it running like clockwork, but for these college hoops games at Dickies it's routinely a nightmare. We ubered yesterday, but a few years back the game against Texas we sat in the garage for 45 minutes before we moved.

Traffic was a nightmare. They were dealing with simultaneous egress from our game (as well as a play/musical that ended at the theater nearby at the same time) and ingress from University Dr of people coming for the WBB evening session. Concert traffic at Dickies is usually very smooth, but it's easy to manage flow when it's all going the same direction.

It's more their hate for A&M. They also hate the sips and had a ton of fans at the game in Austin after the sips stole Beard.

What? This is your reason they dominated the crowd in FT Worth?

Tech is better than A&M in best accomplishment (finals), better (but not outstanding) consistency, and for basketball especially fan support.

I'm not sure their hate for us impacts the bigger picture where they demand more and usually perform better. We arguably are too guess on getting our school and lack focus on stepping up to make things work. Unless Buzz is Neo and will deliver a from our sins and enemies.

I don't think most posters here believe that for one femtosecond.

Tech fans absolutely support basketball more than A&M, and it's not even close. I'm not saying Tech is great at it...it's more about A&M being terrible at it. I'd say the most passionate A&M hoops fans are some of the best around. The problem is there aren't that many passionate hoops fans compared to other schools.

I mean, let's be honest. How hard is it for any school - Tech or otherwise - to have better sustained fan support for their basketball program than A&M does? The bar is set incredibly low on this one.

You are not wrong...but their basketball fan support is still light years ahead of A&M's.

I'm not sure you understand Tech fans hate of A&M. I know many of them. Been around them 40 years.

He should be. We - as a whole - are terrible basketball fans. Again, our best fans are the best of the best, but they are way too few in number.

Buzz can solve the fan problem by keeping his team in the Top 25.

We've been in the top 25 all season and we still had a minimal number of fans at the game in Ft. Worth.

As a positive for A&M, we did bring Hullabaloo and the dance team. Which was nice. Of course the Dance
team was roundly booed.

The problem with parking started early on. We arrived at 11:45 and were ushered up to the Fifth level. Didn't really have a choice. When it got time to leave all the lower levels got out first. Upper levels had to wait 45 min or more. Not worth the $35 they charged you. I'm not doing the parking garage again, will stick with the lot and walk or use uber.

It's kind of like Jerry world. Once you get pissed off about something more difficult than it should be, you are not inclined to go back. Which we haven't. Glad he Ark/A&M series is back to home & home. Won't miss Jerry World a bit.
