What has daniel gibson done for me lately????

[Louie Vega]

Longhorn fans might be rooting for the Spurs, but they would drop to their knees and suck Daniel Gibson at midcourt if asked.

Longhorn fans would do that to anyone if asked!

[Louie Vega]

But Longhorn football.......is king!

Only in Austin!

Only in Austin!

As for the original question, Daniel Gibson is no Vince Young..he's no Kevin Durant..he's no TJ Ford in terms of his place in the hearts of Texas fans. Those 3 guys will be cheered for a long time in this state. As someone stated earlier, Gibson constantly underperformed at Texas, and to be honest, I'm pretty shocked at the success he's been having as of late. I would give him a nice applause once he entered the game, but that's where it would end. In VY's case, I would probably show up to the game wearing his jersey, cheer for him and only him, hope he single handedly destroyed the opposing team. In TJ's first game playing in San Antonio with the Bucks I remember him getting a very good cheer in the starting line-ups. I even believe he flashed the hook 'em sign. If Gibson were a starter he'd probably get far less boos and a spattering of applause(mostly from the announcer saying "from the University of Texas"). So yes we like to see former players do well, but Gibson's basically just another guy.

if you stare at that long enough it turns into 6 trophies. Maybe a sign of things to come.

Yeah, I never followed Gibson in college, but he sounds like Daqeuan Cook from this year's Ohio St. team. He was one of 3 freshamn to leave early (Oden and Conley the others). He didn't preform like the McDonalds All- American he was, and everyone collectivly scratched their heads when he declared. It sounds like Gibson can be lumped into that category. Where Conley and Oden will be cheered in Ohio for a long time- even though they only played for a year- Cook will not get a huge ovation.

But where Vince Young is Texas' Golden Boy, Troy Smith is Ohio's, which sucks becuase he plays for the most hated team in all of Northeastern and Central Ohio
