Texas

[RocketDawg]

Gotta wonder why they don't bowl in their stadium. Shouldn't be a money issue for them.

They're looking pretty decent against Notre Dame. Of course, ND is probably way overrated as always.

2 incredibly unlikeable programs.

I read somewhere that there is a stadium master plan that includes bowling in the end zone, which would increase the seating capacity to about 120,000. It already seats 101,000 without having an end zone bowled in. Needless to say, that would make it by far the largest stadium in America.

The Aggies couldn`t handle that.....

I think they're at 108,000 now ... they'd probably have to go to 125,000 ... just like OM just HAD to expand since we did.

Yeah, it's a matter of which you dislike the most. I think Texas is a little more likable than Notre Dame (from a FB perspective ... both are excellent academic institutions).

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Texas fans are Ole Miss fans on steroids. They are some of the most delusional and arrogant folks you will ever meet.

 

[ArcherSPS]

Texas is more like-able program compared to the Hitler Youth.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Texas freshman has an arm on him.

 

[thatsbaseball]

The difference: OM = Big hat..no cows ; Texas = Big hat..lots of cows

 

[TBone.sixpack]

That's true.

I grew up on Notre Dame football (being Catholic and all..and in Mississippi). A lot has changed since that time but I often wonder if the hate is from folk who just don't like Catholics. Of course, nowadays Notre Dame is probably not viewed as Catholic as it used to be. The players at one time were ethnic background, Polish, Irish, Italian and et al. A lot has changed

I would love to see then Art Briles offense at State. Is Kendall old enough to be a head coach? We could give Art a consulting position.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Helluva game

Most of the ND hate derives from their old(?) NBC contract, their weaker schedule(s), & their high rankings year after year, despite looking terrible & only having to play 3 true hard games a year. It has less to do with religious bias than it does being tired of having ND as a name shoved down our throats & annually getting love based upon nothing but said name.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Agree

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

If you're not watching this game, you're missing an awesome game

 

[TBone.sixpack]

It's got it all.

 

[121Josey]

That was crazy.

 

[The Riddler]

Might be the most entertaining game all weekend.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Looking like OT!

 

[11thEagleFan]

I'll never forget when we did the same thing in one of my high school games. Extra point was blocked, and I scooped it up and attempted to run it back for what I thought was going to be 2 points. I ran like 80 yards and the crowd was going crazy, only for the refs to tell us it didn't count. Was going to be my Al Bundy moment.

 

[Shamoan]

Texas has employed more than a couple of cowbells in that audience. I can hear them...hell of a game tho.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

That freshman Center just screwed em.

 

[Shamoan]

How many turtlenecks y'all think strong has in his closet? 30? More?

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Also, ND has a skinny N and fat D

 

[thatsbaseball]

Texas` no.18 is a bulldozer

 

[Baddmann]

Swoopes just hammered that safety for a first down.

 

[The Peeper]

Beano Cook and Lou Holtz taught me hate ND, NBC kept me hating them, Brian Kelly now is carrying the torch for me to continue the hatred. That said I despise the longhorns, hoping the power will go out and this one will end in a tie and everybody goes home disappointed

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Incredible game

 

[pDigital32Dawg]

Their cowbells keep ringing when the QB is under center

Texas has employed more than a couple of cowbells in that audience. I can hear them...hell of a game tho.

What will be their fine?**

 

[anon1787432961]

Has anyone done less with more five and four stars than Texas

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Austin is on fire tonight. My phone is blowing up from the fans that have been mighty quiet the last 5 years. Glad for Charlie Strong.

Glad I'm not near downtown tonight it will be Mardi Gras with the holiday weekend.

all of this is correct.... additionally, ND got a "pass" to get in the BCSCG w/o being in a conference...

oh, and that's a sweet avatar, too....

 

[BulldogBlitz]

I've always been very welcome with my cowbell although I do get cross looks at first because the main one I use is maroon.

Yea, that's not it at all. The hate came from the preseason ritual of Lou Holtz predicting Notre Dame to be champions year after year while broadcasting. It's the NBC contract where they were held on a pedestal week after week. It's the nonstop love for them in the recent decades while failing to live up to expectations year after year. And when they fail to live up to expectations? They are picked high the following year if not to win it all again. That's the source of the hate
