  1. I was at that game. East side stands, so the Agroid Nation was down below me and to the right. What people who weren't there don't realize is that it took a significant amount of time before the goalpost ever ended up there, and it wasn't where the Gap Mob even wanted to go to begin with. So it took some time for the goalpost to come down first of all. Then, the Gap Mob tried to take it out the SW ramp (the ramp the Tech football team uses), and the AD personnel and police blocked them from doing so, so the mob decides it would be best to take it out the NE corner, the corner the Agroid Nation was at. The Agroids were done with their post-loss cheers, most of the stadium had cleared out because this was like 30 minutes after the game was over (maybe more), but when the Aggys saw the goalpost heading their way, they decided to stay and egg it on (in the videos you can see them waving their arms and saying "bring it"). So the Gap Mob did. I just find the whole victimhood portrayal by the Agroids absurd and hilarious because they had to stand there and wait for quite a long time anticipating the delivery of the goalposts. They were as much to blame for the confrontation as anyone. But they love to play the victim.
  2. There's a lot of truth in that statement.
  3. Well, brand new coaching staff so I think nobody really knew what to expect.
  4. Well which was it? The staff or the waitstaff?
  5. Meh...college kids who haven't had much to cheer about in the football program for a very long time had some fun after an adrenaline-filled 2OT victory over a ranked squad. Not really the big deal you're making it out to be. It's college...let them have fun.
  6. The opening of that video reminds me of just how ugly the A&M campus truly is...when a water tower is the signature structure on campus. Whereas, UT has the iconic tower: Texas Tech has the Administration Building Bell Tower: SMU has the signature Dallas Hall: A&M's pride and joy is this...
  7. Guessing it's Texas Agricultural & Mechanical COLLEGE.
  8. They rushed the field because it was an exciting game in double overtime with a finish that was crazy. 4th and 20 conversion followed by a winning TD. It wasn't because it was UH or even because UH was ranked. It was simply because the way that game went the adrenaline was off the charts.
  9. You referring to that time they built an erector set for the UT visiting fans to sit in, and ultimately perish in, because there was no way on God's green Earth that it was structurally sound enough to not killz you all?
  10. Here's what I don't get. This isn't just some Mass-Com major's senior project. You have actual professional staff coming up with this idea, establishing and spendding a budget for it, executing it, and making a conscious decision to actually play this on the jumbotron. This went through multiple approval layers to get to this point. My question is...how?
  11. Sheep-love knows no race or ethnicity.
  12. I think he’s farting. The square dancing hillbillies in overalls is just too much. How is this even remotely appealing to urban and suburban kids from Houston, DFW, Austin, and San Antonio areas? Just bizarre.
  13. Wait wait wait wait. Conflict at an event that is represented by folks from Detroit and Philadelphia?? Get the fuck outta here.

  15. As long as Jerry and Son are in charge, nothing will change. Jerry rather fail in charge than succeed with someone else calling the shots.
  16. We played like dog shit and yet found a way to win. Under Matt Wells we would play well for 3/4 of the Ganesh and then find a way to lose. I like this better.
  17. Don’t care. We won. UH was overrated and we played like shit. But I won’t fault the students for rushing the field after a win in 2OT. This shit is supposed to be fun. Have fun. Better than losing.
  18. As a Tech fan, I couldn't care less if we play Texas again as regular season non-conf opponents, in any sport. I'm not opposed to it, either. I guess I'm agnostic. Would rather play UT in the post-season anyway.
  19. Donovan Smith will start. He was 14/16 for 221 yards and 4 TD’s with no INT Saturday. He did that in less than 2 quarters. He played about 13 minutes of the second and about 7.5 minutes of the third.
  20. "Five dolla make you hollar" Translation: they use their teeth
  21. So did the expanded 12 team playoff just save the Pac 10? Does this put the kabash on the Big 12 poaching any of the 4-corner schools? Or does the regular season TV money still require the current PAC teams to rethink their lives?
  22. That's the damn argument university presidents and conference commissioners gave for decades as to why they wouldn't go to a playoff. I was simply trying to "address" their long-running "concern" that they spouted for years. Not saying that was my argument (because look at basketball, baseball, etc.) So when they went from 4 to 12, it didn't make sense based on what they've told us in the past. One thing I didn't throw in that I should have included is that the additional round will make it cost-prohibitive for fans, namely the current students and recent grads, to go to all the games should their team advance. Hopefully they will not try and use the bowls for this until the final 4 so that it would be somewhat reasonable for people to attend the early rounds.
  23. Eight made the most sense, worked out to include highest ranked conference champions, and doesn't water down regular season or make the playoffs too long for the student athletes. So of course, the presidents chose 12. All they care about is money.
