Longhorn/Agg afterthoughts:

[johngateswhiteley]

no, actually all of them are losers... just Kermit takes the cake for being the douchiest and bandwagon of all. they obviously take the bandwagon comments to heart because they know its true.

chode comes in and backs up one idiot's rant with similarly idiotic statements. it's not that i'm out to correct grammar, but there's a point where you use the term "drafted" and that sums up your fav. school's entire success for the past decade... they just haven't gotten caught like USC or OU yet.

oh yeah, and can't be faded has consistently the worst college sports takes on this board.

and bump, you're simply a re .

you are right about most of the t.u. fans on this board. the ones that are are not re ed know who they are, so i don't know why would take offense to anything said in general. the funny thing is the t.u. fans on this board are so re ed that they don't even realize how stupid their takes are and how unbiased they appear.

(cue some re t.u. fan to come in an make a "pot calling the kettle black" line. not only unoriginal, but inaccurate)

whitey, you're the most biased, sheep- er loving asshole on this board. no one needs to post a "pot" refrence because everyone who reads your posts not only becomes semi-re ed but realizes that your head is buried half-way up reveilles brown-ring. nice try at making yourself look a like a fan with a non-partisan view point though.

what have i ever said that is homerish? and i don't mean from a t.u. re ed viewpoint.

FLAME ON!

FLAME ON!

i am being serious, what?

[leemajors]

i am being serious, what?

honestly, the only non-homerish sports posts i can recall you making concerned the stros in the baseball forum.

[leemajors]

but they are always entertaining, which is all you can ask for.

[Kermit]

huh?...no. i want A&M to finish ahead of t.u., whats the big deal. btw, t.u. isn't capable of beating kansas...or A&M for that matter on the road or in a neutral environment. in fact kansas will probably beat down t.u. pretty badly. something like 90-75...

people are getting too caught up with this team. they are very good and have a lot of young talent, but without a huge disparity of calls in their favor, they won't go far.

btw, to all...t.u. isn't good enough to win in either College Station or Lawrence...won't happen. but t.u. is good enough to beat A&M in Austin when A&M is in foul trouble the first half and has 3 starters foul out in the second half and overtime....they're good enough to beat a depleted A&M team in Austin. thats about it, though.

finally, if you don't think i am giving t.u. enough credit, i could care less. durant and co. can go themselves. newsflash geniuses, i don't like t.u., they are our rival. yes it was good game, so what......i still hate t.u.. i hope we meet them on a neutral court in the Big 12 tourney or NCAA's...we'll smash those guys.

nah, my 'crazy' prediction will come true. t.u. isn't capable of beating A&M on any court...t.u. loses the next two.

then you better get ready to go to jail. cause A&M is coming in to complete our ownage of t.u. this year...pal.

sorry genius, we already beat kansas and t.u.. not sure where you get your logic from...? in any case, we'll beat t.u. this wednesday.

of course i've seen them play. but if you remember, the only reason A&M didn't win by 30 was b/c of the fouls. i don't see t.u. getting that much of an advantage even in Austin. but, yeah, we won't win by almost 20...i think 13 is a good pick.

i could go on and on. you're lack of impartiality is quite astounding. you are a quintessential homer. not that i give a since most fans are, but don't try to pretend that you don't see the world through maroon-colored glasses.

[johngateswhiteley]

honestly, the only non-homerish sports posts i can recall you making concerned the stros in the baseball forum.

. what i find funny, is that i am a homer...and only b/c i am pulling for my teams. lets see, since i have been on this board:

1. A&M's football team made a drastic turnaround from las season and beat t.u....and i didn't pick them to do anything insane, i was 1 game off in my prediction

2. USC has been kicking people's asses, there is no reason i shouldn't pick or believe the team could have won the national le the last two years

3. A&M's basketball team was preseason top 15 (if i remember correctly). there is nothing homerish about predicted them to win the big 12 regular season...the came in 2nd by 2 game and beat the winner on their home floor, not to mention were in the driver's seat the last few games

4. the Saints, predicting them to go to the super bowl and lose

5. USC's basketball team, who is in the top 25, saying they will make the tourney and do well this year...they are in 3rd place and battling the 2nd place team today


i am not posting this to say i was close in my, what were considered outlandish predictions, even though i was more correct than anyone thought i would be. but b/c there was nothing homerish about it, they were all feasible and either happened or were damn close. imo, the historically t.u. driven board is not used to having A&M and USC fans on this board.....well, go yourselves. you're not all that...

there isn't anything homerish about those posts. A&M is a better basketball team, they were favored to win and were suppose to. how can those be homer posts?

it was mostly in jest, but there is nothing at all wrong with being a homer for your team. i used to be a big UT homer when i attended the school, but my interest has faded quite a bit. i still watch all i can, but i don't get consumed by it anymore.

UT has no chance is a good place to start. just because you fully believe it doesn't mean it's not a homer take.

[johngateswhiteley]

well, to be fair, not in my wildest dreams did i think 3 starters would foul out...enough is enough already, ya know? yes, A&M is physical, and yes, i understand many of the fouls. that being said, the game in austin was officiated horribly.

maybe someone should explain to you the definition of homerism. you lack impartial insight, which is cool. however, your full-tilted stance for everything aggie makes you a homer and your unwillingness to give texas credit for the win makes you the worst kind of homer.

no, no, no, and so what? i don't like t.u. head, and i do give them credit...when i feel like it. it isn't required for me to t.u. credit, and it isn't required for me to give t.u. credit to make me not a homer. thats the most idiotic thing i have ever heard. t.u. blows...almost as hard as you.

i wasn't speaking about that game in particular, i don't really care if you give UT credit either. i get a kick out of reading your posts while i'm at work, personally.

[samikeyp]

If anyone is looking for objectivity and non-homerism...a internet message board is the last place you should look. Its opinion driven. You are always going to find a whole lot of subjectivity and very little fact. The thing is though...its not required. Besides...is there an actual definition of homer? It varies from person to person. To me, a homer is the guy who shouts "we're #1" when his team is 0-10 but that is just my definition. Not right or wrong...just an opinion.

[gtownspur]

Soon a day will come when CBF will buy up all the Long d merchandise because Michigan And North Carolina will become powerhouses once again, and all the fair weather fans will don either the true blue or baby blue starter gear.


UT fans are the mavericks of College Sports.

[samikeyp]

So even though I have been a Longhorn fan since birth....I am fairweather?

Wow...I had it all wrong.

[johngateswhiteley]

really? in what way?

[johngateswhiteley]

i agree more with this definition than anyone else's...on this board. although, i don't completely agree with it...

...yes.
