t.u. vs. Nebraska

I had the 'pleasure' of attending the t.u. game this past Saturday. I even wore appropriate attire, although I think people could tell I didn't belong. Luckily I missed the before kick off band playing, as I don't know if I could have stood up for 'The Eyes of Texas!'

We were given the tickets and the seats weren't all that bad. We were in the in-zone across from the jumbo-tron on the first row. My only complaint, every freaking 'event staff' person working that day came to check our tickets. Security is apparently tight at t.u. games. And of course there was a big sign tied to the railing in front of us and I wasn't tall enough to see over it unless I was standing, so I had to stand for most of the game.

People have always given Aggie Yell Leaders a hard time. I will, however, not take any more shit talking about the Yell Leaders. Have you seen the male t.u. cheer leaders? They have fringe on their uniforms. And the t.u. band uniforms...dear God. What were they thinking? The only thing I can say t.u. has over A&M is the crowd...they were really freaking loud. Well, until they realized that t.u. isn't that great this year. We left at the end of the third quarter and apparently the game didn't really start until the fourth. I don't know what happened to the first 45 minutes of the game, but t.u. forgot to show up. We did listen to the game on the drive home though. I love commentators. Colt McCoy sucked it up during the first three quarters. Then, all of the sudden, in the last quarter he makes an okay play and he's "magnificent!" I hate to say it, but he's not that good. Of course, anyone following Vince Young is going to suck. t.u. won't see the likes of Vince for a long, long time.

To all my longhorn friends...they did hang in there and managed to pull off a win to a not so good team. I hope next year better things will happen for y'all! (And don't worry, the Aggies sucked on Saturday too!)

I so respect your stalwart anti-Texas stance. It's refreshing to see someone who's honest and pure in their thoughts.

That being said, I know a part of you is hurting inside. Many times the Texas team can suck but all it takes is their powerful rep for them to seem to be able to pull out a victory. They will many times suddenly wake up and say, "oh yeah, we can play this game" and squeak out the victory.

Them doing that has gotten me used to hearing Aggies poke whenever and wherever they can. Aggies don't have the average 10 win season expectation yet so for now the hate for Texas will continue to grow.

Fortunately, things have gotten to the point between Texas and A&M where the comparisons need to be held off 'till after the Thanksgiving game.

For right now, A&M owns Texas and we need to continue to take the shots until right before Kickoff.

Longhorns respect Aggies. One day it will be the other way around... after Fran is long gone.
