Thanks Visiting Horns...

I had the opportunity of spending the weekend in Austin and to attend the game. Nothing but praise for the Texas fans - best I have ever been around and I have been to a lot of schools. Any OSU fan that disgraced themselves and our school last year in Columbus to these p ought to be ashamed at their behavior. Texas = 100% class act program.

Ditto on all the praise and kind words for our visiting 'Horn fans. It has been a great ride these two years.
Go on and win the Big 12 and we here shall will the Buckeyes to emulate the achievements of last years Texas team.

Was at the game and the fans in Red were annoyingly loud and proud. You guys really represented. I have to wonder how many Horns sold out either out of fear of losing or too much Buckeye Bucks to pass on, either way, ya'll were out in full force and my hats off to you and your team. I apologize for our annoying score board, we didn't have to sit through as many commercials when I was in school (of course we were also happy to just be ranked back then so I guess with success comes the rest of the crap). Anyhow, sucks that the BCS will likely stop a game like this from ever happening again because I'd love to see you guys every year. Good luck the rest of the way.

Hook ' Em.

Texas Fans

As has been said, knowledgable, fun, funny, classy and great competitors with a great tradition. Thanks for the memories, UT.

Pound on OU and especially Adrian Peterson!

Vince deserved the Heisman!

Hook 'em Horns!

I had a great time down there!

These two programs need to get another "home and Home" arrangement set up real soon. It took both us and the Horns a long time to get both of our recent National Championships. The simple fact is this, College Football is a much better place when programs like TOSU and Texas are in contention for titles. It was a fun 2 years, and best of luck to Texas from here on out in 2006.

My group had a few threats of physical violence before, during, and right after the game in Austin. Nothing actually happened though. All in all, I'd rate the Texas fans on gameday as pretty much like any other Big Ten fans. 99% are great and love to party and have a good time, 1% are drunk assholes looking to fight. Pretty much the same as I saw for the game in Columbus last year, fwiw.

Was actually telling my girlfriend on Saturday that if I wasn't a Buckeye or there was no Ohio State University, that I'd be a Texas fan. Hope you finish with another great season and just maybe we'll see you in Arizona for New Years!

QFT!

i loved the avatars and sig pics... Texasfight had one of a Longhorn superimposed over a Texas flag background last year that was awesome.
and i always loved Highlonesome's pic of Roy Williams running through the smoke with Old Glory...

if i wasn't born a Buckeye, the next best thing would be to be a Horn.

From this week's Sports Illustrated (reprinted by the Cincinnati Enquirer):

The brawl in the Royal was down to garbage time. The longest winning streak in Division I-A was on life support, and a handful of orange-clad students were having trouble coping. Safe behind a railing and a line of police at Royal-Memorial Stadium, they shouted insults at the visiting Ohio State Buckeyes, questioning their manhood, slandering their mothers and otherwise making fools of themselves.

With two minutes left in a game that ended 24–7, the hecklers found themselves drowned out by noise from the north end of the stadium. From the 4,000 or so Ohio State fans who formed a wedge of scarlet in a sea of burnt orange, the chant arose: “We’re Number 1!

Fans of the 2005 national champions, who last saw their Texas Longhorns lose almost two years ago and had grown accustomed to making that boast themselves, had no reply, just as the Texas defense had no effective answer for Troy Smith. ”

Minor stuff really but the occasional holier than thou boast from Texasland of "such behavior is beneath us" needs to be taken with a small grain of salt.

That being said I'm still happy to say that all in all they're among the best group of fans I've ever dealt with!

Don't sweat it. Karen Holbrook apologizes for their behavior. :wink2:
