I traveled to Atlanta only once and I found it to be an incredibly diverse city with an incredible amount of activities and different global cultures represented.
Of course I was there in the last week of July 1996 so there may be a reason for that.
In their defense Texas only has two true road wins over blue blood top 10 ranked national championship within the last three seasons winning non-conference opponents in the last two seasons.
I don't disagree. It's a bit strange that some people here are bewildered that Texas fans would have an issue with Bevo not being able to attend but then also have an issue with a suggestion that there just be a blanket rule that live mascots only attend home games. Do they matter or not?
If I were just trying to be spiteful then I'd suggest that Texas institute a rule specific to dogs and men dressed like milk men.
What difference does it make? Allowing live mascots presents an extra logistical issue for gameday operations to deal with. Just disallow them all. Obviously home mascots have a location and are part of standard operations at every school. So home teams have their mascots, makes perfect sense.
Unless for some reason now we think it's a big deal for a team not to be able to bring their live mascot.
Yep it's not a big deal. But because mascots are not a big deal Texas should just enact a policy disallowing any visiting team mascots at conference home games. That would obviously also be no big deal.
True but if you're superstitious it bodes well. A week ago surly was full of predictions that there was no way Texas could score 30 points on Clemson. I mean had anyone even watched our offense the last few games? We would be lucky to get to 20.
Three drives into the game we had 21.
I mean yeah there's a nerdy aspect to it but there aren't many opportunities where we're a huge favorite against a Cinderella story but we're technically the visitors because we're the lower seed so we're definitely in the white uniforms. Just once it would be funny to take the field in Atlanta to that instead of the fight song. But yes I know we'll never do it.
Correct, it's loaded with 5 or 6 teams that are essentially in the 20-30 range. Makes it difficult to go undefeated but doesn't present any national contenders.
This is what I've been saying. The guarantee for the top 4 conference champs should be a top 8 seed, not top 4. It's too early to change anything else. Well I guess Oregon wouldn't host but they would prefer the bye. But I want to see teams traveling to the supposedly undeserving Boise State and Arizona State. Indiana at Boise State and Tennessee at Arizona State would have been awesome.
