Despite extensive family ties in Texas, and photos of me in Longhorn gear dating back to at least 1985 (anything orange with a T on it goes in our house, no matter the shade)…I thought Sam Bradford was adorable until the first week of this season when I saw his pores in HD and was forever repulsed.

made me go out and stock up. Unfortunately, I haven’t emptied enough of them to partake in this thread…yet.

although I hated watching Roy Williams pound on my horns, i secretly admired the way he destroyed players, I will say ten hail mary’s and ten our fathers for my sins.

I was rooting for OU when they played in their National Championship games this century.

Also (as an Asian-American), Dat Nguyen used to be my favorite college player.

I have a soft spot for A&M and hate, hate, hate to see them so down this year. Very depressing.

 in 2007. Yep, that pretty much makes me a bandwagon fan. That’s a mortal sin, too.

I started at Baylor before transferring after my freshman year (transferring to UT=best decision I’ve ever made, hands down), and cheered against UT for all of about five minutes until Roy Williams sucked the life out of that enterprise.

Also, being raised by a Red Raider and an Aggie/Raider/former OU faculty meant I was imprinted with significant amounts of UT schadenfreude that took time (until the ’02 North Carolina game) to overcome.

Bevo forgive me, I knew not what I did.

does not bleed burnt orange. In fact, it’s tinges of A&M maroon, Baylor green, as well as a whole Houston Cougar and several Red Raiders.

This is no fault of my own, but a sin that I will never overcome. Such is my original sin.

because I have a few friends who play/played there. Not too bad a sin, but it makes me feel dirty nonetheless.

UT-ATM T-day game (yes it was that long ago, well before T+1), when I was 8 or 9 years old was attended with a friend and his father. They were aggies and we sat amongst the brainwashed. In my defense I knew no better and I still rooted for the ’horns.

Like PB, to being in absolute awe of Adrian Peterson. I was at the 12-0 debacle where he officially came out (and not in a Lohan kinda way). The guy had so much speed and so much power. And he took it personal when someone recorded a solo tackle on him. That guy was amazing. I loved Benson when he was here, and he was a great college running back, but Peterson was one of the first mega recruits that I instantly knew was worth the hype.

And I confess, I kinda always wished Texas had signed Todd Blythe. The guy was a great collegiate receiver. He made Iowa State football worth watching. If that doesn’t show greatness, I don’t know what does.

Have to admit, I too have a soft spot for the guy. It’s hard, because I want to hate him, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a runningback quite like him. Other than VY, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a talented college player.

I picked USC to beat us in the Rose Bowl in my Pick’em league. I only had it as a confidence of one, but I still did it. My buddy picked Texas as a 10 and beat me by one point to win the league, so karma prevailed.

I like Tim Tebow alot

Because I don’t want to be the 10th person to repeat PB’s admission (I absolutely love watching Peterson run) I will admit that I like the ridiculously overplayed USC fight song.

OK, I was a doubter. One of the ‘wait till next year’ guys who thought that a new defense, a dearth of playmakers, and a QB with happy feet added up to an off season. But the defense has pulled together, even with frosh safeties. Cosby, Shipley, and even Oggy have delivered big plays. And McCoy has been having a Heisman year without taking unnecessary risks. I’m not someone who poses as a pessimist so as not to be disappointed. I really did not see this coming. And though there’s still a long way to go, I’m now fully onboard. Let’s win it all!

until Major came into the game, at which point I turned to all of my Colorado roommates and told them, “You are all screwed.”

i rooted for Adrian Peterson to win the Heisman his freshman year…..

You may bring disaster upon me when my time of punishment comes.

And while I am in Bolivia, I’m not using that as an excuse. Also, instead of figuring out a way to watch the OU game this year (which I had no faith we would win), I spent the weekend at Lake Titicaca like a stupid tourist (Lake Titicaca = a lot more of the latter than the former).

In addition, I walked out at halftime of the Rout 66 game.

was because one of my best friends was a die-hard aggie and when he asked me if i was an aggie or a longhorn i chose longhorn not know what the hell he was talking about. i only chose the longhorns because i wanted some competition and didnt want to be the same as everyone else.

Whenever that terrible Boomer Sooner song plays, you know, the one where the entirety of the lyrics is “Boomer Sooner” on repeat for like a full minute, I can’t help but sing along. It’s just too catchy. I know that the music sucks, that the words don’t make any sense, and that I hate OU, but still, I can’t help not singing along.

I yell (team lines up) OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (then the kick happens) UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Mimicking the OU cheer for the same event. I’m not sure why, maybe jealous that we don’t have a well defined cheer for kickoffs besides just yelling.

To make matters worse, I only really do this when in attendance at games in DKR.

In high school I had an aggie pen. Of course, it could only right in incompleat sentenses. I lost it which is probably why I was able to gradimicate.

I am a closet Miami fan…I even have some ’Canes workout gear that I occasionally sport.

when playing NCAA Football 2007 video game last year on the PS3. I had always used Texas to whoop people but last year I was getting it handed to me online. I just couldn’t take it anymore. I will never stray again. Forgive me for my sins and may you strike down upon me any punishment you feel I deserve.

Just watch over my Horns and keep them all healthy.

i was born in oklahoma city, while this is hardly my fault, its an original sin that will be tarnished on my soul forever. you cant choose where you are born, but you can choose where you are from; I’m from Texas.
much of my family is from there and i have long since cast off the evil, vile sins of the place. i even have an uncle that graduated from choklahoma. whenever i absolutely, have got too, can not get out of it, have to travel to the forsaken land, i never ever spend any money on anything up there so as to not be one who supports the enemy and its practices.

I kind of feel for aggy, although, knowing that they wouldnt have any remorse for the Longhorns if the situation were reversed kind of helps to keep everything in perspective.

when UT was at tOSU in 2005, i couldnt watch the last two and a half minutes because i was too affraid to see the mettle of the Horns, should it have not ended in victory.

I am a huge longhorn fan and have been for all of my life, and I have to say the amount of comments on this post is ridiculous. LOL

While attending UT in the mid-80’s, I never once attended or even watched a Longhorns game. I was in art school. It wasn’t cool to like sports in art school. I’m sorry.

… with J.C. Watts, the QB, has developed into full-blown respect for the man and his accomplishments. Also, I was headed down the steps in despair in Section 4 as Phil Dawson nailed his 50-yarded vs. UVA. I knew he had it in him, but didn’t think he’d make it. Blasphemy…

i miss the black basketball uni’s the team wore in 2005 in the game against Duke, i wish they would wear them again.

and i also think it would be interesting if the football team brought out a black out sometime (even though we all saw what happened to georgia.) or maybe even just partner with under armour to get cool jerseys like tech.

When they played USC for all the marbles in early 2006. I absolutely HATE USC and Texas, but I had to pull for the Big 12. From an OU fan, that game was amazing. I couldn’t believe that UT stopped Lendale White on 4th and 1 and I couldn’t believe how Young scored that last minute 4th quarter touchdown. I enjoyed seeing Leinart, Bush, and Carrol walking off the field as loosers. It was a good game…

BOOMER!

I have never had a mortal sin against Texas in my entire life of 41 years. Now I have had a few venial sins against the almighty Bevo. I had come to the conclusion that I was going to have to go to atm because I did not think ahead and take a foreign language in high school. Thank Bevo, I was never swayed and never wore anything associated with aggy (even though in the 80’s it was the hip thing to do). The day (actually night) I received my acceptance letter, the thought of going to the hell of B-CS was purged from my mind.

While I’m in the confessional, I have left 3 games in the third quarter. Two in total disgust (66-3 UCLA & 2003 ou 65-13). My though, why am I here if the team did not even show up? The other game was the 92 cougar high game. After the 900th screen in the flat early in the 3rd quarter, I was so pissed I went home. Now I did listen to the game on the radio and on TV when I got home. For staying with the Horns in spirit, I was rewarded with a pick six and a win.

I have been known to pick the Horns over Country. I skipped my Saturday Army Reserve drill because I had 40 yard line seats for aggy (they were on probation in 94) even though I knew we would get smoked. I did go to drill on Sunday.
