Longhorn fans might be rooting for the Spurs, but they would drop to their knees and suck Daniel Gibson at midcourt if asked.
I'm from Ohio, and a big Ohio State fan. Whenever a former Buckeye comes back while playing as a professional most all tOSU fans cheer for, or atleast find themselves wanting to see that player do well no matter what team they are now playing for. For Ohio State (untill this year) this normally only happens in football. But do you Longhorn fans want to see Daniel Gibson do well? I went to both Ohio State vs Texas games and got a chance to meet some of their fans, and they seem to be just like Buckeye fans (though a little more reasonable). But I would expect most UT fans rooting for Gibson to do well, but not well enough for him to lead his team to a win...Much like I will be doing for Troy Smith this year, now that he plays for the Browns arch enemy, the Ravens.

Yes I would like to see him do well........but not in this series.
Depends on their allegiance to college vs. pros. A lot of times it's one of those things where you want say, Gibson to have a good series, but not make a big enough impact to take down your favorite NBA team.
Spurs basketball > Longhorn basketball
but Longhorn football > Spurs basketball
Im a college before pro guy in football...but UT's bball program hasnt shown much outside of Durant just recently.
But Longhorn football and College football in general is king!
see in Ohio, Ohio State normally has a bigger following only becuase they are the only "winners" traditionally, so they have more fans. It's not really the case in basketball, but alot of times on our message boards the main topics inculde deep discussions on how Ohio State could beat the Browns in football. So OSU fans really cheer for the former players becuase they know the Browns are not going to win anyway.
Another reason is Ohio State are really the only "big boys" as far as college goes in the state. So alot of your pro fans are gonna be tosu fans. However here we have a&m and tech...and alot of them on this board hate ut's guts. So it isnt as much of a black and white. Ohio State seems to be king in the state though from what I have seen.
huh? gibson underperformed consistently at UT.
Oh. Handjob only, in that case.
I went to college at UT, but was raised on the Spurs.
Unless we're talking football...then it's almost neck-in-neck.
Edit: Upon further reflection. Spurs still supreme.

Once the Horns are removed...that person is dead to me.
Ok not really....I hope Daniel Gibson has a long, injury-free career in the NBA. As long as he is not playing against the Spurs...I hope he does really well. I am a Longhorn fan (although not of the nut-sucking, handjob type Obstructed View was describing) and I like to see the players from UT play well but my ultimate NBA loyalty is to the Silver and Black.
Aw, what the do I know...I'm a Gators fan...
thats exactly how it is, you either like Ohio St. or Michigan becuase you made a concious decision to just not like Ohio State
have they turned him into a wide receiver yet?
According to the Baltimore Sun he has far surpassed the teams expectations this far. His throws are hard and accurate, but they say it might change once they go 11 on 11 with a full squad. But he won't be a WR.
College basketball is the one thing I really am a bandwagoner on. UT basketball is always disappointing, so I have no problems preferring Tech or A&M some seasons.
Although, honestly, I'd LOVE to see UTSA make an actual good run at it one of these years.
If Vince Young played for the Cavs I would cheer for him.
What exactly did Daniel Gibson do?
Remember that question... You will be asking the same thing in like 5 games.
Daniel who?
I'm a huge UT fan and alumni....and I couldn't care less about how well Daniel Gibson does in this series. So, I don't think Gibson will be getting much love this week.
For all I care he can disappear like a fart in the wind.
UT's bball program has actually shown a lot under Mr. Barnes the past 8 years. They have not missed going to the NCAA tournament, with 2 Sweet 16s, an Elite 8 and a Final 4 appearance ('03).
Gibson was considered a great talent but people around here quickly learned that he was not a PG. He was much better off the dribble as a scorer or hitting the occasional 3. He was not real strong with the ball and tended to cough it up in double-team situations. That is why the Spurs may try to implement the "Boobie Trap". (I'm not sure if that is original but hey, it works).
i'm down with d gibs. game 6 vs detroit was one of the funnest games i've watched all season. plus i didnt know his nickname was boobie when he went to texas
good one. as far as i'm concerned, solid d coined that one
No question for me. I want to see Gibson win!!! Anybody but cry baby Duncan!
This says for Texas/Spurs moron. You obviously arent a Spurs...and you live in the capitol of oklahoma so this does not concern you south okie.
What you don't like to hear that Duncan is a whinny ass and get special treatment from the refs?
