re: Biggest douchebag - Texas or the Dame?

One - most fans at most schools are decent people. The psychos on message boards are not indicative of the overall population. And as someone with family in South Bend, and 2 good friends whose fathers were their respective class presidents at Notre Dame (one of them even has a plaque in their locker room to commemorate his contributions to the school), I’ve been to games and the campus many times and yes, even the saintly Irish have bad fans. ALL fanbases do but it is a small fraction of the fanbase except for two schools: 1) Ohio State (many good Buckeye friends that are great people but a high % of violent non-grads and boy do I have stories about the 2004 Texas game there) and 2) will shock some people, but Colorado - multiple friends with kids there and they love the school but the scumbaggery of a shockingly high % of their fans was shocking to them.

I’ve been to hundreds of CFB games and the only places I’ve seen home team vs opposing fan violence to a serious degree is College Station and Columbus. But despite me talking shite about the Aggies, you don’t see me generalize about their fanbase because most of them are good people.

I would have to reread the details behind the 2011 scheduling issue, but I will say that with OK ST they got a make up call(s) with the way those games (and nearly every subsequent TX-OK ST game in Austin) were officiated. There are only 2 Texas losses ever I will fully blame on officiating - and one of them was one of these games (the other a few years later).

Nebraska hated Texas from Day 1 because we wouldn’t join without eliminating partial qualifiers. That is the one and only reason they left the conference. How has cutting off their old Big 8/Texas recruiting pipeline worked out for them? Colorado simply thought the Pac was a better fit and was also probably a little sore about the 70-3 beatdown in the Big 12 CG.

As a Sooner, I’d hope that you do hate UT but don’t pretend for a second that our schools weren’t mutually beneficial to each other in the Big 12 and in moving the SEC. I don’t like y’all either but I do respect you - plus my misguided grandfather played OL for the Sooners way back in the day. Good luck against Bama.
