    Without a doubt. That is going to happen. I think classless are the loudmouth people that go into another teams stadium talking trash all the time. I don't have a problem with it if you are at home, but when you are going to someone else's field/court, I think you should cheer for your team, but at least be respectful.

    I always think its funny when people generalize classless fans when usually every school has there share of classless fans. I think Texas Tech is on their own level, but they still have plently of fans with class. As for the rest of Texas schools, I think the majority have a lot of class.

    I'm pretty sure, but not positive, that you get 2 FTs and the ball on an intentional foul. That is a harsh penalty and I don't blame the ref for not making that call at the end of double OT.

    So what's an "intentional" foul? I mean, if someone's driving, and you grab them...I just don't understand it. Cause I the announcer guy was like "grabbing the jersey is an intentional foul"...and I'm like why is that wrong? And, everybody knows UT was trying to foul at the end of the game, so of course it's "intentional", but...am I getting the meaning wrong? Maybe I'm just dumb.

    I think grabbing the jersey from behind is what the rule is trying to stop. If you are "going" for the ball and reach in or hit the arm like usually happens when you are trying to foul, then it is not intentional. You have to be making a play on the ball for it not to be intentional and they usually give a lot of latitude with that, but yesterday's was another level.

    We can't complain though. We kind of got lucky we didnt have an intentional called against us in a similar situation against KU that helped us get that win.
