I looked for this, but couldn't find anything about it. If it has already been posted, I appologize. I can't copy the link because it just takes you to the log in screen, but there is a facebook group at Texas that is titled Texas:Making Your Kids Cry Since 2006. They are making t-shirts and selling them to members of the group. This is low and all those people should be ashamed of making fun of a 12 year old kid. There people are pathetic.

You'd think the parents would have a say in putting their kid's picture on a shirt and selling it. Seems like there'd be a legal problem there.

I think we should all quit crying, and move on. I'm sick of hearing/seeing/listening to people whine over the Texas game. We get another shot next year. Until then, they've got bragging rights.

And if that were my 12-year old, he'd be getting his little *** whipped for bawling like that. When my kids were very young, and they'd lose a game in little league or Optimist, and they'd start the blubbering I'd snatch their little butt up by the arm, put them nose-to-nose with me, and say "boy, it's a game. It ain't worth crying about, and don't let me see you do it again. If you don't like feeling like this, play harder next time."

Move on people.

Once again, I find myself in agreement with that sage scholar, Dean. The father of that boy oughtta be taken out and horsewhipped.

I've been taking my kids to UT games since they were born (son born in June of 1989, went to his first UT home game in September)...

Good Lord though, winning and losing is part of life and how we handle both circumstances tells us much about ourselves. That boy needs some serious life lessons and his "daddy" needs to get off his butt and, through his actions and words provide a hell of a lot better example for his son.

As for the t-shirts, tactless, profane, obscene and biting t-shirts seem to be the norm for our rivalry. I wouldn't get one of those shirts.. but then again, unless working out, I don't wear t-shirts.

The only difference I see there is that we asked SAF's permission before putting his goofy mug on a shirt.

And while it sucks for the kid to have his face on shirts like that, I think once his face hit the airwaves it's public-domain, especially when you're somewhere like a nationally-televised football game. I have to admit, my first reaction to this thread was a chuckle.

I still stand by my claim that the only real conforming mullets I saw the entire weekend were at my hotel bar Friday night. both Tejas fans and both flowing like a curly waterfall.

Oh, it's pretty damn funny actually. The kid will grow up as a diehard Sooners fan and I think it would be funny as hell if he bought a bunch of these shirts and wore them as he got older.

I was ten years old and bawled my eyes out when OU lost at USC with 8 seconds to play. Good Lord, it's okay to let a kid cry. It doesn't make them whimpy or anything...they're kids. Let them learn. At least the kid is a passionate fan. That's the beauty of the following of a football team like OU. We really care and it really does matter. People at work in Scottsdale all week have been telling me, "It's just a game." And I just tell them that they couldn't understand being ASU or AZ Cardinals fans.

As long as you use the picture for recreational purposes, the family has little or no recourse against you. The minute you sell it, whether on a tee shirt, or a mug, without the express permission of the child's parents, (children can't sign contracts) you can be sued. In this case, the cost of the penalty probably wouldn't equal the legal costs, though you get a "cease and desist" ruling.

No one said why the kid was crying... I take it, it's because of the game unless he's a spoiled rotten kid who didn't get $5.00 from Dad. Making T-shirts of other people's failures or dark moments are sick, people. I've had some pretty damn funny T-shirts, but I never had a Vince Young on his knees T-shirt, and I'll never have a crying Mack Brown T-shirt. Same as I won't buy a T-shirt that calls another team cucksockers (some of you know what Whorn shirt I'm talking about). I have a twisted and often times sick sense of humor, but I don't think putting a young boy crying on National TV over and over again is right... just like all of the Red Sox fans making fun of the little Yankee fan who messed up the National Anthem a few years ago, that's just wrong. Draw the line, somewhere folks... draw the line. Oh, and who here doesn't think that of the probably 100,000 or more UT fans at the RRS, that there wasn't a little kid crying amongst them during 63-14 or 65-13??? Or any other OU victory for that matter. Let me just say I've now attended 9 RRS games, the best of times and the worst of times included, I have seen several Texas children fans pumped up and excited about that game, what makes anyone on this board here think that they weren't upset and crying when Superman saved the day in 2001???

This was a KID, in America, as I was, who loves his team so much, he cries over their losses. Count our blessings that he was crying over a sports loss, and not the loss of his father!!!
