Yes the Baylor game was a sellout.

The article just scratches the surface on the reasons we hate SMU. We must win this game!!!!! GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUTOF SMU !!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to add a reply to this worthless thread. I thought the band was OK. Nothing special. I also thought the same about the UT band. If band members were giving a "hook em horns" sign, then they should be talked to, but not screamed at. Show them what pride is about. And I'm a former band geek. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF SMU !!!!!!!!!!

Except Ford stadium has never been full.

I just purchased two tickets. Section B. The nice young lady on the phone said the expect the reserved seats to be sold out by the end of the week. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF SMU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO MEAN GREEN

My oldest brother (die hard Longhorn grad) took his daughter to visit our campus b/c it is one of the schools she's considering. He raved about how nice the campus is and he couldn't stop talking about the student rec center. I haven't been on campus for 2 years and I really haven'tlooked around for quite some time. I'm bringing my wife up for the SMU game. Any highlights we should hit before tailgating? I'm assuming the alumni center is stop #1. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF SMU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the most accurate and funny thing I've read in a month. Thank you for the laugh. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!

If you were watching News8, it was her first job. They wil only hire first time reporters b/c they will work for nothing just to get a resume tape together.

Did we have any dropped snaps? I thought we'd have at least 3. But I don't remember any. Of course, I quit watching the carnage in the 4th quarter. Hey man, I'm just trying to find some positives to build on. It seemed like that was a real issue in training camp. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF SMU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with most of your comments on this thread, Emmitt, but I believe we would have gotten a much worse thrashing from Tech. Leach is an ass who would have run up the score. Texas may have the defense to shut down Tech's offense. We don't. Leach would have tried to hang 100 on us. Other than that, good observations. Sorry the ride home was so long. GO MEAN GREEN!!!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF SMU !!!!!!!!!!!

I paid close attention to the media this week. In Austin I never heard North Texas State. The Austin American Statesman did say we were in the Southland, and that is unforgivable, but the tv media remembered us. Some of them used an old logo, for graphics, but in time that will change. If we keep notifying them of these mistakes, it will get corrected. It does seem like we change our logo with each new AD. When we continually win important games, people will take notice. So I guess my reply is, notify them off their screw up, but be tactful. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF SMU !!!!!!!!!

Sea of green !!!!!! I hate the sea of white. I thought it looked horrible in Miami during the NBA playoffs. We are called the Mean GREEN. Not the Mean White. We do need more cowbell. And also more flags. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF SMU !!!!!!!!!

I like that. Woody was the only QB to throw a TD against Texas in how long? GO MEAN GREEN

I think he cramped up.

For those of us who went to the game, what did you think of the experience? Not counting the game itself how were the accomodations, fans, etc.? I sat right underneath the Godzillatron (man that thing is huge) and burned in the hot sun. All the Texas fans I was surrounded by were quite gracious and didn't taunt me when I cheered my beloved Mean Green. I only encountered one set of mildly unruly fans, and they were two drunk frat boys getting cokes for their flasks at the concession stand. After they left, other Texas fans were quick to apologize for their behavior, which really wasn't that bad considering how toasted they were. The bands were good, the NT section made good noise, and the teilgate was O.K. If not for the 4th quarter melt down, I would have thoroughly enjoyed myself. Anyway, I'm just curious what the rest of the faithful who made the trip thought. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF SMU !!!!!!!!!!!!

As I posted earlier, I really don't have a problem with the fake punt. I knew it was coming, most of the stadium knew it was coming. This was a warm up game for Texas. They had to practice stuff like that. What upset me was the continual going for it on 4th down late in the game. The game was completely out of hand by then and, I'm just assuming here, UT's FG kicker could use some practice. This btw was my big complaint 4 years ago when Mack went for it on 4th late in the game and we put Chance Mock on his butt. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even I knew it was going to be a fake punt. I kept yelling that in the stands. This was a tune up game for Texas. They had to practice it. Repeatedly going for it on 4th down pissed me off as well. Doesn't their FG kicker need game time experience? GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!

I believe they used a different company on the way back.

Funny you mention that. At the party last night Dickey ordered a diet coke at the bar. I was right next him and asked, "Aren't you supposed to have someone behind you at all times with a diet Coke ready?" He laughed and made a funny comment. His attitude has changed. I'm telling you he's got a much more positive outlook. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!

My wife and I went to the pregame party last night (friday) at the Doubletree. As we walked in I saw what appeared to be Darrell Dickey standing in the entryway. But this man was a lot thinner. As I got closer to him I realized it was him. Man, he looks better. I shook his hand and introduced my wife. We talked for a bit and he really seems to have a different attitude. He was upbeat, funny and had a good sense of humor. When he spoke to the crowd (btw where was the microphone?) he kept that same energetic attitude. It was a good talk. I hope that attitude is infectious and the team catches it. My favorite line from his talk was, "You know, every person on our team was told by Texas 'Your not good enough to play here.' We've prepared them on Saturday to go out and prove them wrong." I've officially had the green kool-aid (actually it was beer), and Dickey served it up personally. Now I think we can win. We have to play lights out, but I think we can. 3 hours to kickoff. I have to tailgate now. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lest we forget Erric Pegram was a starting running back for them in Super Bowl XXX!!!

Illuvius, I'll have some of that green kool-aid. Seriously, do you have any left? I want to believe. I do. And I'll be there cheering my heart out, but now there is just a pessimistic side of me. 4 years ago I had faith, and held my head high when we left DKR b/c we fought valliantly. 2 years ago I was quite skeptical and rightly so. I left DKR with my head hung low. This year I really don't know what to think. My only hope is that JMo rips off some big runs. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!!!!!

I just rewatched the game. I have highlights from a local tv station. Man, we got robbed. But I have officially drank the green kool-aid. I'm pumped! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!! GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!

1988

There are two new rules changes for college football. 1. The clock starts on kickoffs. It used to start once the ball was touched by the recieving team. 2. After a first down, the clock will stop long enough to have the ball ready for play. It used to stay stopped until the snap. On the local (Austin) Fox affiliate they will have some sound bites from DD. I'm sure it was shot by KDFW, and fed to Austin. So there is a chance Ch4 will have sound from DD. I just saw that Tech's star reciever flunked out, and cannot play this year. GO MEAN GREEN !!!!!!!!! BEAT THE HELL OUT OF TEXAS !!!!!!!!!!!!
