You think secret service will let him sit in that death trap?  

Do you think Trump is going to spend the cycles to get to college station? The logistics are mind numbing and frankly why the fuck would he. It's not like he needs to sway any fans or locals into his way of thinking. They're already all on the Maga bus.

Stadium empty two minutes after the game is over. Sounds like the bestest fans in the nation. I’m sure they stood the whole game too.




On the on hand, our crowd would thin out too if we were playing an fcs team in mid November. On the other hand, hell will never freeze over with all this climate change.

R/aggies says it is for the band. If they are on during the game I’m sure some GA will be assigned to check them out every now and again and if they are on then there will be issues with the conference.

Also, somebody in the equipment squad needs to pack a hatchet for the game.

Why does a band need banks of speakers? I’m assuming they mean they’ll mic the band and blare their trash out of the speakers.

Two good approaches:

1. Unplug line to speaker cab. Cover plug with super glue. Return plug. Cut line at top of plug.

2. Take a 16-oz. spray bottle of naphtha. Spritz two sprays into each speaker cone, through grille cloth. Strike kitchen match. Ignite.

Profit.

Modern bands and drum corps routinely augment low frequency parts with amplified recordings.  I'm not saying that's all they're doing, but it is a thing.

That seems like a lot of work

I unfortunately watched that and his mind is blown over couches in either the press or “luxury” box?

Yes, during their on-field performances. 

Huh?  What does that have to do with anything?  You asked "Why does a band need banks of speakers?" and I told you why.  I'm not saying this thing isn't nefarious, it is.  But speakers in and of themselves aren't particularly unusual.

For the Aggie honk and blow Mickey Mouse corps?  Yeah, I doubt they've ever used them.

I think the real point is that aggy allegedly has been amplifying crowd noise to make it seem like they give a fuck. The speakers on the sideline thing is new, and seems likely to be against SEC rules.

 i figured it out

they are for the out-of-phase sandstorm frequency cancellation to make the south upper deck (aka "the dish") safe for visitors

I don't know, but I'm curious what y'all think of this... I feel like most longhorns I know see the game with the Aggies as just a means to finish out the season strong and go to the playoffs. It's another game. It's an important game and it is a game for bragging rights but it's not something I'm obsessing about. It's not like we're talking about it that much other than to say we hope to shut up. 

As for aggy... Is this all they've thought about all season? Like seriously, non-stop obsession. 

Damn I forgot how annoying they were.

I’ve got to say that this has been a topic with my other friends who were in school during the 80’s.  My four years, we did not beat A&M once.  It was fucking miserable. Those people seriously made you secretly pissed that Texas was so gracious when the bonfire finally toppled because of stupidity that was even evident to me as a college student.  
For my generation, we hated ou but would trade a loss in that game for a win against a&m. 
To a man, all my friends think that Texas will not be prepared for the hate that those people will have for them.

This is my genuine concern as well.  Like Sark walking into Fayetteville in 2021 but multiplied by a factor of 10.  I KNOW Sark has seen a team that despises us far more than they like themselves. I know that. And he won when he went back there. But, my concern, is that even 2021 Arky didn't prepare him for what he's going to see on 11/30. Fake crowd noise, poisoned food, phone calls in the wee hours of the morning, throwing shit around, whatever. These people are not stable and will do anything and everything in their (somewhat limited) imaginations to win against us. 

 

It's all fun and games until some maniac aggy tries to Tonya Harding Jahdae Barron or something

Was at UT from Fall 84-Spring 89.  We never beat OU or aggy while I was in school (tied OU my freshman year).  Plus my dad was an aggy and made my Thanksgiving weekends in college a living hell. 

I hate the motherfuckers and also don't think Sark or our current players understand the obsession those dick-grabbers have about us.

All that said, we should beat their asses.

Only way aggy beats us is if Quinn plays like he did 1st Half of the UGA game.
There, I said it

You were supposed to say something that made me feel better, something that felt like it couldn’t happen again. I think we’ll win too. It Quinn is a…THE liability. Not to turn this into the QE thread

I was at UT the same time that you were.  One of my good buddies from high school went to aggy and joined the Corps.  After they beat us my freshman year we met up right after the game.  He was over the top with his obnoxiousness and would not shut up.  I simply walked away.  I may have spoken to him twice in the last 40 years.  What a shame.

Another poster brought up the 2011 farewell game, which is a good reminder. We were a better team on paper. We were ranked. They weren't. But they had just lost to #14 KSU and #6 ou or they'd have been ranked too.

Despite our ranking, we were 8 point underdogs at pyle. They dominated every part of the game. Tannehill threw for 224 and 2 TDs. Case had 110 yards, no TDs. They lost due to 4 turnovers and 115 yards in penalties.

If we get bad Ewers and 4 turnovers, I don't see how we win. We obviously need good Ewers or Sark to wake the fuck up and put in Arch.
