Mine is when Agggies lost to OU 77 to 0 and UT fans then laughed their asses off and proceeded to party on sixth street to get some hoochies.
I don't know what it is but I enjoyed the last SWC le game!
game after the bonfire. that was my freshman year before i went out to finish school in California...my dorm was on duty that night...
^game when texas started this centurys streak, sims threw for like 250 yards in the 3rd q and everyones chode exploded about how good bj and roy were as freshman
favorite moment: how everyone at a&m seems to care so much about beating UT, when I spent about 6 seconds thinking about a&m in my entire time at UT
that game had some of the worst officiating i have ever seen in my life.
So the original poster's favorite moment is a game that didn't even involve Texas?Typical dumbass horn fan.
Lol
2 games come to mind. The first is winning the last SWC championship at a&m, that was really sweet to beat them on their home field for the last ever SWC championship. It also represented a kind of turning point for the UT program, won our first Big XII championship not too long after that, Ricky did his thing and then Mack strolled into town and we're now on a 2-in-a-row Rose Bowl streak, it's been a pretty damn good 10 years since we won that game.
My second favorite is being at the game where Ricky broke the NCAA rushing record, wathcing him explode through that left side of the line, take off down the field and then drag the last couple a&m players into the end zone, great moment (although he did have some fumbles that almost cost us the game!). Hook'em!
^ That's the run, NICE
I also have to mention the blocked punt and defensive touchdown against the agggys in KYLE FIELD last season. Those white suited guys sure do get that crowd fired up, but it wasn't enough to keep our defense from owning them at KYLE FIELD.
So it dose not matter about the aggies anymore they will never beat TEXAS In 1000000000000 years man so shut up about the damn past!
if anything texas' defense was exposed and it was their worst performance of the year on D.
not just that, but i don't even give them any credit for it. A&M had such a stupid punt formation...thanks Fran!
Of course you wouldnt give UT credit...but who the are you anyway?
When you've got athletes and great coaching as Texas does, you ring up stats like those metioned below, not to mention national championships.
Football 101: Texas block party
By Bob Davie
Special to ESPN.com

Editor's note: ESPN's Bob Davie hit the road this spring to check out some of the country's most innovative schemes and coaches. This free Insider preview is the first installment of his five-part spring tour.
Nothing changes the momentum of a football game like a blocked kick. That's why my first stop this spring is to the University of Texas to visit with coach Duane Akina and study how the Longhorns block punts.
In 2005, the Horns blocked nine kicks, including six punts, on the road to the national championship. Four of those punt blocks came against Oklahoma State and Texas A&M, teams that use the new shield punt protections. It's no coincidence that in Akina's five years at Texas, the Horns have blocked 43 kicks, the most in the nation over that time.
Akina, who is also the co-defensive coordinator, has done a great job creating a tradition at Texas. The punt return and block teams are called "the posse." Akina has created a culture in which the players think it's cool to be in this group, and he's done a variety of things to make it different.
1. Point system
Akina set up a point system similar to a hotel's reward system. Players receive points for blocked kicks, punt returns and great effort. They are members of the Silver, Gold or Platinum club based on their overall point production.
2. Use talented players
Akina uses the best players on special teams. It doesn't matter whether they primarily play offense or defense. Players such as Quentin Jammer, Roy Williams, Derrick Johnson and Nathan Vasher have all been members of the posse in the past, and look for RB Jamaal Charles to be on the team this fall.
3. Attack philosophy
The basic philosophy is to pressure the punter and come after every kick. Opponents must protect first, and this often leads to punt return opportunities when Texas has the return called. The Horns finished sixth in the country in punt returns in 2005 (15.6 yards per return). Everything they do looks like a punt block, and there's an illusion that Texas will try to block the kick.
4. Simple system
By having a simple system, Texas plays fast and the players have great confidence in the scheme.
Shield Punt Protection
Many teams across the country have gone to shield punt protection. This is a punt protection in which three deep punt protectors are lined up in front of the punter to create a shield. Because of this shield, the punt team takes big splits up front between the frontline players, who do not drop set or vertical set to get depth (3 yards) off the line of scrimmage like conventional punt teams. This allows the front wall to immediately get into coverage. Protection is the responsibility of the shield, which has limited punt coverage responsibility.
Shield punt protection
As with any new trend, teams catch up with it, and the shield punt protection is now being attacked. Texas blocked three punts against Oklahoma State and one against Texas A&M last year. Akina came up with some unique ideas to attack the protection.
1. Change personnel
Because shield punt protection leaves a lot of space inside with big splits between linemen, teams come after it right up the middle. To put pressure on the shield, Texas would insert 315-pound offensive guard Kasey Studdard, 325-pound DT Frank Okam and 280-pound DT Derek Lokey in the game. Other teams use smaller linebackers and defensive backs on punt teams, but not Texas.
2. Assault the shield
Akina came up with a simple philosophy of attacking the shield and driving it back into the punter. He made it a challenge to intimidate the shield protectors and held tryouts to see which Longhorns players could be the most aggressive.
Inside punt block
3. Flexibility
When Texas A&M changed its shield protection and blocked down on the four inside rushers against Texas in 2005, the Longhorns came with an all-out punt block. Michael Griffin beat the end and blocked the punt from the outside.
Outside punt block
Summary Give Texas and Akina a lot of credit for changing personnel and coming up with a plan to attack the new shield punt protection. It may seem that our first stop this spring involves special teams, but nothing can change the outcome of a game or a season like a blocked kick. It was a big part of why Texas won the national championship last season.
That's how it is, to aggy fans it's the end of the world when they beat us in football. To Texas fan's the only reason they want to win is because for once it's a W, and second they don't want to hear the aggys acting like they are on a 10 year win streak
UT-OU is a bigger rivalry then UT-A&M
Uhm, how does the defense playing horribly make it so they were exposed? I guess teams will look at that game film and make their gameplans off that for this season.
talking out of his ass...
ask mcgee if they were exposed after getting his knocked into the dirt more than once.
ok so exposed was a bad word choice. my fault
i think he scored 1 or 2 plays after getting his knocked in the dirt. but ya'll won the game and NC so congrats on that.
You could've done better?
Why would you give UT credit, you think & speak with your heart & not with your head.
Oh wait!!! Is your heart ag or Trojan? I know real Trojan fans & you don't seem like one at all.
You seem to flip flop so much we're confused if you do have or ever have had a team that you've rooted for from the heart.
Pretty soon he is gonna start using 't-sip' as an insult.
Well back to this thread's topic...
Besides Ricky's Run in '98, my 2nd favorite moment was halftime of '99, when the Texas band played Amazing Grace in honor of the bonfire victims.
Anybody who was in Kyle Field that day remembers the entire crowd going silent. When the Horn band stopped playing, all you could hear were the flags blowing. Still gives me chills thinking about it.
