    Observations from the Texas State Fair

    Saw 3 longhorn fans (evidenced by their baseball hats) wearing brand new TCU shirts. Really? If only I could get ahold of a UCLA, BYU, Baylor shirt....

    Longhorn fans put ketchup on corny dogs. Now that is just wrong...wrong.

    Was nice to be able to get some craft Texas beer at that beer garden--never been to that side of the stadium before.

    Not sure if it is where I sit, but heard very little of the OU band, and plenty of the Texas band. What's up with that guys?

    Also saw A&M ****** nozzles wearing "Just for Today, 'Gig 'Em Loghorns' T-shirts. Is it possible that the CDC could move the Ebola outbreak to College Station?

    That surprises me...why would A&M fans hate OU more than Texas?

    I've been to a few RRR games and I don't remember the post-game crowd being so bad. It was like neither teams' fans left. I'm talking nut-to-butt, elbow to elbow. Couldn't even get a sniff of Fletchers.

    And our "cheerleaders" lead the crowd to "Boomer Sooner" all of 3 times... The second one not until the 4th quarter.

    I thought prior to the game it was a little better than previous years--I'm guessing due to the weather, but you are right, after the game was very crowded.

    The reason it was so crowded at the end.... no one left because the game was "in question" till the final play. If I'm reading the fan base's pulse correctly ..... Horns consider RRR a moral victory and Sooners almost consider it a loss due to the fact that the Horns anemic offense out scored us.

    Put a lid on it! Kiss it goodbye. We gave it away, and apparently thought it made sense to do so.

    Before 11 Oct, A&M had only lost one game, and their fanbase was plotting how to get into the playoffs (silly aggies). For one thinkg, they needed us to lose. Their whole life is about hating teasips, so they're essentially whoring themselves for the playoffs.

    Losing twice in a row is their just reward for that.

    Losing THREE times in a row is their just reward for that.

    I can live with sa*et fans calling a loss a good thing and Sooner fans upset because the margin of victory wasn't to OUr liking . . .

    Do you suppose those shirts were from 2005, when we all hated USC that much? I remember hearing that some Ags had shirts made with something like that on them.

    Funny you say this, I just had a current aggie student explain this to me.

    It has to do with a game with TCU a long time ago. Hunting frogs is called gigging. So the cheer for that game was "Gig' the frogs" or Gig'em.

    Isn't it cute how aggie base all their traditions on very specific opponents? Now their fight song, that focuses on beating texass, in based on a team they don't even play. Very sad.
