Memorial Stadium, Austin, TX, 11/10/1990.  Somebody get that idiot off the goalpost. 

LOL I am old and was there.  Cougar Hign v. the Horns.  It was insane and the weird thing is that is felt organic, like the craziness came out of nowhere during the game and kept growing and growing.

Settle down. Those goobers were pretty damn quiet all things considered 

[SuckitKevin 979]

I don’t think protection was as bad as it’s been made out to be. There were some breakdowns for sure but Quinn self sacked and freaked out too much. I didn’t like the turnovers in the aggy game but his movement in the pocket was much better, lets hope that version of him shows up.

Is Georgia fan worried about Beck.?... He was pretty bad last time and did not have the pressure of having to make something happen.

Seems to me if we can just take care of the ball weight have an easy time of it.

That game was not an outlier. Beck has thrown 12 picks this year...sacked 17 times.

Our D is peaking.....

..oh....and fuck Georgia 

 

Georgia fans are probably just as worried about QB turnovers as Texas fans. Quinn is actually more turnover prone this year than Beck.

Beck- 435 pass att and 53 rushes- 14 turnovers (12 ints and 2 fumbles) or 1 turnover every 34.9 touches

Ewers- 306 att and 36 rushes- 11 (7 ints and 4 fumbles) or 1 turnover every 31.1 touches.

The Qb that takes care of the ball probably wins this game.

The shitty thing is most projections I see have us playing them again if we win. I would not want to see it but I’m sure they would try to sell a 3 peat for ratings. 

I think uga when they play like they care, Texas and Oregon are the three best teams. So yeah no 3rd time please

Disagree.  There were 109k rabid Aggies there, each one out for blood after 13 or so years of stewing over the Horns.  Highest priced resale tickets in college football history. 

No tougher road environment has ever existed for a college football game.  What has topped it?

There is so much wrong with this post but I'll try to take it in order. 

1. 109k rabid Aggie fans - Incorrect. There were plenty of Longhorn fans there. 

2. Highest priced resale tickets in CFB history - Incorrect. For a regular season game that looks correct. Which means it's not correct for bowl games. Bowl games are not as rabid of an environment the reason for which brings me to my point - ticket price does not correlate to crowd craziness. In fact, at a certain point it's inversely related. Sky high prices actually price out a large percentage of louder and crazier (read: younger) fans who are replaced by quieter fans (older).

3. No tougher road environment has ever existed - Laughable. The environment had zero effect on the game whatsoever. Texas had no communication issues, no false start issues (I think we had one which was Goosby and as a newb likely had nothing to do with crowd noise), and the crowd was tame by the second quarter one they realized they were getting physically annihilated. The ONLY reason you would believe it was the scariest environment imaginable is because Aggies said it was going to be before the game. As usual, they were full of shit. Sarkisian even noted that he thought it would be louder. 

[BrazilHorn 6784]

Texas OL has to get ready for the lateral shifting that GA used to great effect vs Texas in first game. The false start on Goosby came when aggy DL did this as well. GA will be jumping/flashing non stop and of Texas OL steps on their dicks multiple times a la game 1 that will be an issue.

[honolulu horn 6202]

If you watch the skycam replay on ESPN, you'll see pretty quickly that the crowd had very little effect on the game. Our guys had no miscommunication, lined up correctly, had very few presnap issues, and generally just ran the offense like they had practiced it 1000 times before. Just looked like business as usual.

I'm trying to understand this statement.  The Superdome is about 1 mile walking distance from the Hotel Monteleone.  I've walked to the stadium from the Quarter every single time I've been to a game there, which is 3x now.  It's only 1/10th of a mile further than my old tailgating spot is from DKR-TMS, down in the state lots around 16th street.

I was referring to the AAA stadium.

Has a baseball ever been played in the super dome?

Finally watched the UGA-Georgia Tech game. Jesus. Feel terrible for the Yellow Jackets, absolutely should have won in regulation. 

Based on the success Haynes King was having running the ball, you have to think Sark will have an expanded role for Arch ready.  I hope we see a more aggressive, vertical passing attack with Quinn this week. Doubtful the short stuff is gonna work as I expect UGA defense will try to blow that up early. Run the ball and throw down the field. LFG. 

 

 

 

Georgia got refball after refball and also got every bounce in the 4th quarter. Lucky fucks.

This can't be a real post.

How about 2005 Texas @ tOSU and literally hundreds of other road environments that featured a top 10 home team, or even a top 25 home team, in a big game?

Yeah, Kyle is a big stadium full of weirdos, but that was a mediocre football team, and Kyle got very quiet very fast when they got in a hole, as usual.

That place is a complete myth.

An average Thursday night at your local Chili's. Except some of the Chili's patrons will manage to go on the offensive and score before the end of the night.

 

Disagree all you want. There was not a single member of the Texas program that was the least bit intimidated for a nanosecond during that game. It is a fanbase of idiots, full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing.

Stop supporting the fraud that is aggy delusion.

Nashville (Vandy) was just loud when that annoying fucking DJ played piped in music at a billion decibels. There were more Horn fans than Commodore ones at that game. 

[Hank Kingsley 21597]

The ratings for the Texas/A&M game weren't even very good. Under 10 million and well below OSU/Michigan game. 

All the hype and pageantry ended up being incredibly overstated. I bought into it, too. Never again. No one gives a shit about A&M.

This guy was in the lower level. Go to minute 6 of the video since the first 6 minutes are aggy doing their pregame antics. Ask the person you were responding to if it sounds intimidating.

Aggy has lost 17 home games in the last 10 years.

Yep. Aggies insist upon themselves.

The crowd was going to win them the game. Until it didn't.

They're the best fans ever. But they aren't actually.

They're the friendliest fans ever. Except that's demonstrably false.

The coolest traditions. Did you watch the yell boys and see the words to their song at the beginning of the broadcast Saturday? I will pass.

It's the greatest environment anywhere. But it's a total freakshow.

The best homefield advantage in the country. Except the stats don't lie.

People actually believe those things because they listen to how much aggies talk about them. None of them are true. They're all self-aggrandizement from a fanbase that has never enjoyed success in anything that matters or is measurable. Stop listening to them. The media buys into it because they're never seen anything like it. And because aggies have to tell you all about them. I have been to an aggie-Sam Houston State game. It was not a special environment at all. It was just like a Texas-UTSA game, just with a lot more goobers per capita. And we don't play FCS teams like aggies do.

My guess is that Minute Bull is an aggie fan who just exposed himself (not in the Tate Pittman or Aki Ogunbiyi way). Because they can''t help themselves.

That's pretty tough to do when you play as many FCS teams as they do.

Exactly.  I was about to add that their average season at home over those years is about 5-2, with 3 of the wins coming against Lamar, McNeese, and Bowling Green.

So yeah it's a tough place to play if your team sucks.  If you're bowl eligible, you're gonna win there about half the time.  If you're actually good, more than that.

A testament to how dialed in the Horns were under adverse circumstances, which was the point I was trying to make.  It was tough and they handled it well.

Technically that may be against the rules. We've been called for it it at least once this season. A&M was called on it once in the game. But it doesn't get called that often. It is a vague and poorly written rule.

Rule 7 Snapping and Passing the Ball

ARTICLE 5. Defensive Team Requirements
The defensive team requirements are as follows:

a.    Each of the following (1-5) is a dead ball foul. Officials should blow the
whistle and not allow the play to continue. After the ball is ready for play
and before the ball is snapped:

1.    No player may touch the ball except when moved illegally as in Rule
7-1-3-a-1, nor may any player contact an opponent or in any other
way interfere with him.(A.R. 7-1-5-I-II).

2.    No player may enter the neutral zone causing an offensive lineman to
react immediately or commit any other dead-ball offside foul (Rules
2-18-2 and 7-1-2-b-3-Exception) (A.R. 7-1-3-V and A.R. 7-1-5-III).

3.    No player may cross the neutral zone and without making contact
continue their charge toward any back.

4.    Any player within one yard of the line of scrimmage (stationary or not)
may not make quick, abrupt or exaggerated actions that are not part of
normal defensive player movement (A.R. 7-1-5-IV).

5.    No player shall use words or signals that disconcert opponents when
they are preparing to put the ball in play. No player may call defensive
signals that simulate the sound

Going back decades, that game has always felt like a huge risk with almost no reward. You lose and it's hell. You win and you pretty much beat Kansas St or Oklahoma St. Big deal.

I mean that game was being hyped as the biggest in aggy history. So we go in there and beat them decisively, and we're still hearing "Texas hasn't beaten anyone yet".
