One UT-Aggie ticket avail for the Thanksgiving game

fair weather fan

 

DVauthrin,

So, let me get this straight, if UT hadn't lost their game against Oklahoma, you'd go to the Thanksgiving game?

btw: If you can find someone who won the Ming bet with me, you can trade them the ticket for their Shut Up Heypee Coupon.

 

Stop.

Read the last page of kidrock's thread to see my post there. There is still a pretty solid chance, if USC beats Notre Dame, that we could get the final at-large spot. If that happens, you have four two-loss teams: USC, Notre Dame, Texas, Kansas State.

Though you could probably make the argument that USC was playing the best, I don't think either USC or Kansas State could compete with Notre Dame and Texas in terms of attendance and TV ratings. Notre Dame would naturally be a favorite over Texas, but if USC beats them pretty bad and if the Sugar Bowl is the one making the selection, we have a decent chance. There is a large UT fanbase in the greater New Orleans region, so we would sellout the Dome, and we would get ratings because of the names of our players. There's a chance they would take us over Notre Dame.

I'm not saying that this is going to happen, or it's likely, but come on, have more faith than that DV... it is not as impossible as the media makes it seem.

 

Holy ****, they lost to Tech?? Really??? How'd the hell did that happen? Was is Simms fault or the Coach?

You are not going to watch the meaningless bowl game, either? Man, that's so sad. I hate to see such big UT fans give up on their season like this. You guys represent our best overall university and our only chance (besides Texas A&M) to beat Oklahoma.

 

DV, this is kind of surpising. I thought you were a diehard fan, like The Cat and I (and others).

 

Diehard doesn't equal homer.

Cotton, Holiday, or Alamo. Take your pick.

 

Cotton or Alamo. Closer and I could get tickets.

They could go 0-11 and I'd still get season tickets.

 

You guys are complete asses. How dare you sit here and tell DV

"Who cares about family, A game with possibly a shred of importance should be your primary focus"

Yeah I know, I'm one to talk. I love football more than the next guy, But who can blame DV for not going to a game with little relevence when he wants time with his family. There is a fine line between loyalty and obsession.

and... Go Irish.

 

Amen

 

i'm not gonna judge him. But, he did say that the loss to Tech influenced his reasoning. So, if UT had scored another TD, he might want to go.

 

Um we are not going to a BCS game no matter what happens

 

Geez...

Let DV do what the hell he wants to, without giving him all types of crap about it!

 

See, I hate this. Quick little one-liners with no substance behind them. Tell me what happens if USC beats Notre Dame, as most people predict to happen. The BCS must take a two loss team, if that happens. There's no alternative. Can you please tell me how you can distinguish USC, Notre Dame, or Kansas State from UT? We beat Kansas State, at their place. USC lost to Kansas State. Notre Dame is good, but people know they aren't as good as their ranking.

USC and K-State won't go ahead of Texas and Notre Dame, because of the lack of name/player recognition and attendance problems (USC). It'll come down to Texas and ND for that last BCS spot, if ND loses to USC. And I'll tell you a couple of things. If ND gets waxed by USC in that final game, there's going to be some pressure to not take them.

If the Orange Bowl has the at-large team, it's definitely Notre Dame. But it's NOT a lock if it's the Sugar. UT has a huge fan base in the greater New Orleans area. We would pack the Dome (the Superdome LOVED last year's Sugar Bowl when LSU was in it-- tickets, merchandise, etc. were higher than every year except the national title yea) and bring a big name recognition. Notre Dame might too, but I know for a fact that the Sugar Bowl likes Texas. Always has.

Assuming USC beats ND, there's going to be a two-loss team in the BCS. I guess I'm missing something, but I don't see how you can distinguish any of the four.

DV,

Staying wih your family is cool-- I have no problems with that. But, don't stop supporting the team. Supporting the team doesn't always mean showing up at the stadium screaming... it means watching them every chance you get, representing them well, etc. We still have a lot left to play for. No matter what the pessimists say, a BCS bowl is very possible.

At this time, we need all the support we can get. Hook' em!
