Tejas Fans Still Bitter?

Now you see the biggest problem of living in Texas: the whiny orange.

Bama > Tejas then, and it still holds true today. Bitterness does not look good on Tejas fans, so all I would say is, "move on."

I arrived in Dallas yesterday for a 5 day job in Longview. I'll be 2 hrs from Dallas an an hour from Shreveport. My hard hat has 4 stickers: my name, my company, a small quarter-sized script A on the front, and the same sticker on the back. We'll see how it goes.

Plus, when I'm off site, either one of two BAMA caps I brought will be on my head. Someone's gotta say something!

No one will say anything, at least they haven't to me yet. I go to Austin and Ft. Hood every quarter and stay at the Embassy Suites downtown Austin which is about a mile from the campus. I wear my Bama gear proudly and the only thing I get is "how will Bama do this year". I've never had a problem.

was at Lackland AFB earlier this year for the youngest sons graduation from bootcamp. ran into one of the D.I.'s there who threw out the "oh, you know if Colt hadn't got hurt..." we had a good time with it joked about it and all that but yea, some are still a little butthurt over it....

I make the mistake of occasionally going on ESPN boards, to help repel the venom / envy being spewed by the Bama haters, and yes, the "If Colt hadn't got hurt" from Tejas fans is a regular staple.

So I'd agree that butthurt about covers it...

I was in Austin two years ago at the Hilton downtown. Went out on the town (6th street? Is that the big bar scene?) Got a couple of comments, but yeah, for a high-profile college town, they sure are tame. I had assumed they'd be as passionate as other high profile schools, but I learned quickly they are only as passionate as 'being cool' allows. Far too mellow.....

You might hear a Roll Tide or you might year something not so nice.

Their attitude is a reason why they rarely ever win anything of any significance.

Entitlement doesn't even begin to cover it.

I had to ejuhmuhkate a couple of fools I work with on the whole "if Colt didn't get hurt" issue. Besides the obvious retorts, I had to join in the what if game a little and ask them a few questions, one of which was:

What makes you think Colt would have made it through the game even if he hadn't been hurt on that play?

I am fully expecting that any convo or comment will begin with a tone that reeks of "oh, gawd...you're an obnoxious Alabama fan who doesn't realize you lucked into your last two National Championships...." Then once they get that out of their system, maybe it'll go well.

If Colt didn't get hurt....who knows? None of us knows. Not us. Not them. Nobody.

But I've never understood how McCoy playing or not playing..

- helps Texas failure to score a TD from the one on the drive he was hurt
- helps their run defense, who let two backs rush for 100 yards
- helps Malcolm Williams catch the TD he dropped

I could list more but you get the point

So funny ... I mean, golly gee, Colt had already passed for EIGHT YARDS when he got hurt. We were doomed :smile:

I still believe that Marquis Johnson got a finger on that ball. And if I'm wrong, don't tell me. My mind is made up and facts will only confuse me.

And if we hadn't lost our best receiver on a punt return in January, we woulda scored and beat LSU.

Oh, never mind.......

I've lived here for three years and no one has ever said that to me. I walked in the grocery store the day after the game, wearing my very bright sweatshirt. A Crimson shirt with huge letters across the front spelling BAMA. You couldn't miss me! One man talked to me, congratulating me on the win, saying Mack Brown was whiny, etc. He was an Aggie though. One duo of women saw me, I saw one of them look at me and bump the other to get her attention. I acted like I didn't see it but I did In all the years of wearing my Bama clothes, no one has ever said that to me. I think they know better! Some non Texas fans have mentioned it, I always say Colt had not had a good year, stumbled in all of his big games that year, backed their way into the game and he did not play on defense, therefore he would not have stopped our TWO rushers who put up over 100 yards. The kids have said that it's all they heard at school though.

I live in Dallas - and I hear it all the time. Texas fans whine alot about this game. But remember, wasn't Hightower also injured for the BCS game with Texas? If we had lost, would we have blamed it on the fact our top LB was out? No, we would not.

When we lose, we don't blame it on an injury or a bad call - and I remember several of these over the past few years. We don't whine. We take it as a loss - and then, get ready for the next game.
