Texas beats a ranked team - They were probably overrated anyway. Sure we won by 21, but did you see how poorly we played for 2 quarters ? OU is gonna kill us.Texas beats a mediocre team by 50 - Boring. I left at halftime. We should have pulled the starters earlier to get a look at the second string. Why do we schedule these teams ? And F Deloss for scheduling the game in the heat of the day. Can't believe I paid $75 for that.Texas beats a mediocre team by 10 - Man we suck. Our coaching is pathetic. Too much clapping. OU is gonna rail us. Texas fans watch OU win big - Now THAT's coaching and using talent !!! OU is gonna kill us. Texas fans watch OU play a close game/lose - Now why can't Mack Brown scheme for the Sooners like that ? If Tulsa/Boise St can put up 20 points on OU, we should put up 50. Texas fans watch somebody lose that beat us last year - How did we lose to that team ?!?!? If we couldn't beat them, OU is gonna kill us. Texas fans watch somebody win that we beat last year - They were much better last year. Texas fans watch our players play an uninspired game - Man, our team was just going thru the motions. No effort, no desire. Pathetic. Texas fans watch our players play with emotion - Embarassing. Did you see all that flexing ? What about that dancing ? What is this, prom ? I'm emailing Coach Brown ... this has to stop. I think I have everything just about covered. Enjoy the game on Saturday.
But that doesn't relate to how Texas fans "watch" a game. The whiners critique the whiners much later in the process ... Feel free to start your own thread on that subject.
BH, Nice post for the most part and I know that isn't aimed at everyone. I just hope for your sake that we play well in Dallas because if you have really convinced yourself that we have a better chance of winning that game than we do getting drilled then I'm afraid you just aren't being objective. That said, you are a great fan and I think I'm a great fan. I will cheer my *** off and support the program, etc but I'm nervous.
You forgot a pairing...Witnessing an east/west pass for a big gain: Sweed is the freaking man! Witnessing an east/west pass for a minimal gain/loss: WTF?!? Greg Davis needs to be fired immediately!
Seeing a Texas QB (not named Vince) sacked on a play - Vince could have run that in for a touchdown, even though that play was from our own 20. Mack can't win without Vince.
This Texas fan has three rules for watching games: 1. I always root for Texas. 2. I always root against ND 3. I want every other game to be a good, close game, so I root for the underdog or whomever is behind in the game.
spanky: you would be correct if ever, in the history of Texas football, one of those east/west passes went for a big gain. Ever.
I think you can insert any other team and rival for Texas and ou and this holds up, which means you have discovered the Aristotelian form for Football Fan Watchingness.
This thread is dead on. its pretty sad actually. and to some -no matter what happens UT still gets raped by OU.
Texas fans watch the 2 yard hitch get stuffed for no gain for the 37th time.Why the f do we run that stupid play 37 times a game?
