message for the aggies...

[Doug Collins]

Actually Jim, UT mentions A&M in "Texas Fight".

"t.u." would actually have a chance at being funny if it was an inside joke shared among Aggies, kind of like if "Dookie" was just reserved for ACC use. Problem is, we Longhorns look at it as some sort of feeble comeback to the trillions of Aggie jokes in circulation.

Of course, nothing is as dumb as flashing the "Horns-down" sign when you have your own hand-signal thingie. I think the school ought to work a little harder at being the only Aggies worth national mention rather than the anti-UT.

Just one tea-sip's opinion.

I've always found the horns down to be gay. I was disappointed when I saw aggies using it, especially after Arkansas and Ou have overused it for centuries.

a&m is in the song, but no one knows the words to texas fight. to most, it's a musical interlude played after texas scores a touchdown. now, "the eyes of texas" is another matter.

i've never understood the horns down thing. an upside down horns sign is still a horns sign to me, so thanks are in order to the other team and their fans for flashing my school's signal when they score. i really crack up when ou is playing baylor and the camera flashes over the sooner student section and all they can think to do is flash the horns down. seriously, would that hole exist without texas?

i agree with that.

[MajorMike]

Yea, especially when they aren't even playing AND lost to them that year (ala uo in the B12 le game).

I have posted the same thing here...it is too funny....sadly its not limited to OU fan...I was watching an OSU-Tech game a few years ago and OSU fans did the same thing. Now I know why they are kept in Oklahoma.

[MajorMike]

OSU never does the down sign. We make fun of uo for doing it.

they did play ohio state in 2002.

You are a liar. It was the Tech game at OSU a couple of years ago...05 I think...it was on FSW and they were in Stillwater and the camera was panning the crowd in the first row and two or three halloween color clad Friends of Boone were doing the down Longhorn sign.

Samikevp comes up huge in destroying CaptMike again... I love it. I'll flash the upright 'Horns right now in honor of you, sir

[samikeyp]

and I will flash a "Gig 'Em" for your Ags tonight.

[johngateswhiteley]

i won't be flashing any t.u. signs, not even if you saved my life one day.

Good....I wouldn't want you to break character.

[johngateswhiteley]

Good....I wouldn't want you to be a loser.

[samikeyp]

C'mon bro...I never called you a loser.

[johngateswhiteley]

C'mon bro...you're the coolest person ever.

I always figured the horns down sign represented a longhorn grazing in the pasture.

Prove it.

Glad to know I dominate your existance on earth.

[RonMexico]

Glad to know I dominate your existance on earth.

Which "earth"?

Oh, you mean the one in World of Warcraft... gotcha, because it's definitely not the real world.

[MajorMike]

You need to change your name to 'Smokescreen,' because that's all you ever post.

[RonMexico]

You need to change yours to "T. Baggin' T. Boone" because that's all you ever do... and earn Mana at the same time

[samikeyp]

Prove it.

I knew you were going to go there. I can only tell you what I saw. You don't have to believe me...its cool, and I know its only a minority of fans who did it. Most OSU fans are smarter than that but I did see it happen. Its all good Cap.

[Extra Stout]

I love how CaptMike uses "uo" in the context of this thread with no sense of irony.

[midgetonadonkey]

Good game so far. I think the Aggie D will eventually wear down Memphis. I see it going down to the wire though.
