That was weak. Do you think they'll fashion some sort of tunnel to get them from the locker toom to the sidelines at Kyle Field?

Since we finally lost to whorns for the first time this century, maybe Joe C. could whine a little to see what the Cotton Bowl will do for us. The "feel sorry for Mack" theme went overboard with the ramp screens. Sadly, this just adds fuel to the "move the game" movement since they are gradually taking away what makes this game great.

Oh, I didn't know about the soda. That changes everything.

Hey, I know. Maybe we can put a curtain up in the stands on the 50 yard line too. And one behind the OU side of the Texas bench and the Texas side of the OU bench. How about curtains around each OU fan in the Texas side and each Texas fan in the OU side too?

I have been at the last 5 games and unlike most of you sorry-assed Texass fans I stayed until both teams left the field....even this year. I never once saw anyone pour a coke on a Texas player or spit on them.

I did see your gay-assed mascot walk around the entire OU section antagonizing Sooner fans with a sign about Stoops. Now if he had been taken out I wouldn't have been too displeased about that. BTW, why did security allow that but then feel the need to put the curtains up?

The mascot was carrying a sign that said "Poop on Stoops." Apparently they had a contest at Austin Municipal Kindergarten to see who could come up with the catchiest sign. The sign was just slightly less classy than the pelvic thrusts the "Texas Fight" chest paint students were doing to their song.

One of the students who does the Oklahoma flag also told me that they were told not to pester any of the Texas players or they would be ejected from the game.

My HS coach coached at OSU for Pat and Bob Simmons and when they were at Michigan he said he went out before pregame and noticed a chickenwire cage above OSU's entrance to the field and thought WTF. Later when the team came out he said the Michigan fans were throwing nachos and hot dogs at them and damn near every aggy had nacho cheese on their uniform.

No, actually, there's a small section in our endzone that you guys get every year to make up for your loss of seats where the tunnel is. That's to make sure the exact number of fans from each team are there.

And just because you guys have had an unfair advantage with the tunnel for decades doesn't mean it's fair and should stay that way. I believe Royal conceded the tunnel in the 70s if I'm not mistaken.

They'd add more to the noise making of the OU section if they were on our side though. I doubt they do a lot to distract Texas when Texas is in that end of the stadium. They could add to our efforts if they were in our end. Yes, I know, it's a minor detail, but there's no denying that it's more of an advantage to have all of your fans in your section than to have some of your fans in the other team's section. That's why some schools split up the opposing fans into small sections throughout the stadium instead of one or two large sections.

Be specific. Which players? It hasn't happened the last 5 years and if you can find a player who said it happened, which I doubt, I'll call him a liar to his face.

And I agree that the bull**** the Cotton Bowl pulled this year with the curtain is the final nail in the coffin for keeping the game in Dallas as far as I'm concerned.

Bottom line, the whorns are pu$$es and always will be. The only conceivable competitive advantage of playing in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl is OU having the tunnel. Everything else about this game favors the whorns. It would be like OU playing Kansas in basketball at the Ford Center in OKC every year and claiming it was equal.

TopDawg
10/10/2005, 12:14 PM
Maybe next year they'll add amplifiers to the Texas side of the stadium so that their fans appear to be as loud as ours.

Or perhaps they'll have "extras" on hand so that the next time Texas gets blown out and all their fans leave, the players won't get their feelings hurt.

If the fans were 50/50 at the Ford Center, you would have a point. I don't understand how playing in a neutral stadium with the fans 50/50 favors one team or the other. If the stadium were in NYC, and half of the fans were crimson and half were burnt orange, it would be the same game. I never get this argument from you guys.

Well then having the tunnel in our end is no advantage either. Unless your players are so emotionally unstable that they'll let their play on the field be affected by what happens to them coming out of the tunnel.

Dodds cried about the tunnel issue in the paper before the game. We never cry that the game is played in the state of Texas, we just deal with it. Now, that Texas won, you won't hear about it again. Longhorns cry when they don't get their way. Sooners never complain about anything....

those curtains suck. there aren't two ways about it. Rather than the curtains to protect that players (whom I KNOW in 2002 had nothing thrown at them because I was on the edge of the tunnel) why don't we just toss out any yahoo who does throw anything down at them?

Otherwise, I think we should just have each player in a personal cylinder with a white noise machine that shields them from the emotional discourse undoubtedly caused by the boos of the fans and other stuff of mean spirited satanic OU fans.

No, we know that you all think it's an advantage so we don't want to give it up. If they just all the sudden switched it, we probably wouldn't care. But because we know that you want them to switch it, we're adamantly opposed.

Here's a quote from Keith Cash talking about the tunnel. I've read this from our players since then (about spitting and getting stuff poured on them) but don't have it at my fingertips.


Former Texas receiver Keith Cash, who caught the game-winning touchdown pass for UT in a 14-13 victory in 1990, said OU fans have been merciless when the Longh0rns emerge from the tunnel.

"They'll spit on you and call you everything in the book," Cash said. "Their fans do their best to try to intimidate you."

Sounds to me like Joe C just stalled and ignored him. And then the tunnel cover and extra police just so happened...


But after UT waited for a response from Oklahoma so the new seating information could be forwarded to the ticket printer, OU officials balked, according to UT officials... Castiglione could not be reached for comment.


Castiglione has said in the past that major changes regarding football must be approved by OU president David Boren and the Oklahoma board of regents.


At the request of Texas officials, McKoy said a fully covered area will be extended 15 additional feet into the stadium Saturday, further shielding players from fans.

McKoy also said more police officers will be stationed in front of fans closest to the tunnel entrance.

I could come up with just as many that went your way. You're proving my point, Ardmore. You're only looking at from your side.You've thrown it out so let's go ahead and see your list of bad calls that went against Texas last Saturday.

The PI makeup call against us was obviously that. The 30 yards in penalties on that one play was a bit onesided. But in general, OU had 6 penalties for 50 yards while UT had 12 penalties for 112 yards. Good thing we had the refs on our payroll. :rolleyes:

What part of us getting penalized 62 more yards than you is misleading?

Because you had a few more personal fouls, which really aren't debatable. Also, most of them came after the game was decided.

The thing that bugged me the most was that on the two big penalties on OU (the PI call and I'm drawing a blank on the other) the flags were thrown VERY late.

Now I'm not a big conspiracy theorist kinda guy, but when that happens, it STINKS of having an agenda, and waiting to see how a play plays out before calling a penalty.

Good thing we had the refs on our payroll. :rolleyes: When four of your fellas commit personal fouls, there's bound to be a 60+ yards difference in penalties.

Or just a slow ref. If you claim there's an agenda, you're going to need more evidence than a couple of slow flags. You can't derive a conspiracy from 1 or 2 calls. That's statistically insignificant.

It takes two to tango. The game was getting chippy at the end from both sides.

One time Rufus got his helmet ripped off, and there was an offsetting personal foul call. Give me a break.

Because the ut players were a$$es. One ut player shoved Gut to the ground after a play. That got a flag. You really gonna argue those 15 yards?

Game was over by halftime, no need to "keep it up" the entire time.

And like I said, I'm not necessarily saying there was an agenda. But that doesn't mean the ref's were fair and/or consistent.

Look, the PI call that went against you guys was bogus. Nobody's denying that. My argument is against those Sooner fans that claim we get all the calls in this rivalry every year and that we have some kind of de facto home field advantage because it's in Dallas or the Big XII officials or refs are secretly conspiring to cheat OU. Calls go both ways.

I'm pretty proud of the fact that I had the thread killing post last year.

I still think that Texas, by demanding the curtain, was in essence saying "We know we're bizsnatcho wussies but we don't care. Protect us from those mean Sooner fans. "

If we are on the topic of curtains and the texass players getting coke and stuff thrown on them. I watched the texas players come out of that tunnel when I was in Pride, and aside from a little yelling, nothing was thrown on them. Secondly, if we are to protect the players with curtains, they should stick a curtain around the entire texass half of the field. In 03 I had among other things, an empty glass jack daniels bottle thrown at me. I think the texass players just need to man up and take it.
