I'm not sure where tbone and Ramair were, but I can assure you it was nowhere near me.
Since we had two top 5 traditional powers that had never met before, I was expecting some friendly, respectful and funny trash talk before a game. Perhaps even a nice analysis of our respective team's chances since both of us would obviously be huge college football fans. What I and every other Texas fan I saw got was none of the above.
Pre-game taunts (note that other than the last one, which was included only because it was so far out of left field, all of these were yelled at us dozens of times, so I'm only including the big ones)
Steers and Queers? not that funny (especially after the 83rd time in the first hour), and definitely not respectful when yelled in the eardrum
Texas Sucks? Goes without saying this does not satisfy any of the 3 criteria, especially when yelled repeatedly.
F** you? See above
Go home you faggots? See above
Boomer Sooner- yes we have had our problems with a certain school to the north (shades of Cooper in the 90's), but does a program with the history and success of OSU need to rely on OU?
Where is your green card you illegal alien- Not sure what this one was but we got it a few times. I assume it is a reference to Texas as a border state, but who knows.
Post game
Now, i know you guys have very little experience in losing big games, but I unfortunately do, and I can tell you this- when you lose, shut up, shake the opponents hand, tell them good game, and go lock yourself in some room and deal with the inevtiable post-game depression. The following are ways not to handle it-
Texas sucks- Are you guys aware of the transitive property?
Throwing water bottles from the upper deck of the stadium at Texas fans (not cool)
Threats of physical violence- not cool
Throwing beer bottles- once again not cool
Get the hell out of our town you faggot- find me a cab and I'll be out of this little riot in a second
Well OU will still beat you- perhaps, but will that really make you feel better about the game, and does a program like OSU need to rely on others?
Mind you, this was not a case of a few bad apples, that happens everywhere and I dismiss it when it does. What I saw as a bunch of bad apples, and the few good ones were doing nothing to stop it. And regarding the poster that says who knows what the Texas fans were doing to provoke it, I can promise you that any Texas fan that was trying to provoke something Saturday had a death wish.
