Around SBN: VIDEO: Veterans Share Favorite Sports Memories

ISU Game as "Texts From Last Night"

"Did that really just happen?"

In the span of less than 24 hours, I asked this exact same question while experiencing the highest and lowest moments for my two favorite teams in the last decade.  Still high on life from the Texas Rangers winning the pennant, I drove to Austin on about an hour's sleep to watch the Texas Longhorns continue salvaging their season by curb-stomping Iowa State.  Except they didnt.  At all. As y'all know, we lost at DKR to a team that got absolutely demolished by Utah and Oklahoma. 

As usually happens during a UT loss--and even during some wins--I received a flurry of angry text messages from my friends and relatives.  After the jump, and in the spirit of textsfromlastnight.com, I wanted to share some of these conversations with the BON Community...for the sake of full disclosure, a few of these entries were contributed by other BON authors.

Star-divide

(xxx): Great Crowd!

(xxx): Right now, there arent enough students in the south endzone to do the flash cards

 

(xxx): Is the stadium as empty as it looks on TV?

(xxx): No. It's emptier...

 

(xxx): I'm taking notes and emailing GD in the morning with my complaints.

(xxx): GD doesnt use email.  Too modern.  Try a telegram...

 

(xxx): Chykie. 

(xxx): Earnest.

(xxx): Garrett.

(xxx): Mitchell.

(xxx): Believe it or not, just sending you their names is somewhat cathartic.

 

(xxx): The old baton guy will be here today, right? 

(xxx): Think so...

(xxx): Good.  That's half the reason I decided to stay.  We suck.

 

(xxx): We should change our sponsor from Nike to UA 

(xxx): Then we might actually protect this house

 

(xxx): Will losing to ISU help us get rid of Greg Davis?

(xxx): No.

(xxx): : (

 

(xxx): A turnover!

(xxx): I forgot what those feel like

 

(xxx): Well, I guess we're getting less bad (sent during 4th quarter)

 

(xxx): I think I know how Aggies feel...

 

(xxx): Is this as bad as I think it is?

(xxx): Ask me two hours from now...

(xxx): Yes, it is...  (Sent two hours later)

 

(xxx): Are we going to be favored to beat Baylor next week?

(xxx): Depends on if they beat KSU tonight...

(xxx): If they do, they might be ranked...

(xxx): We need to beat them and OSU.

(xxx): If we dont, the game against A&M could be for last place in B12 South.

(xxx): God.

 

(xxx): The William and Mary fans just laughed at the score of your game

(xxx): Dont know why I told you that

(xxx): Sorry

 

(xxx): Have we ever lost to ISU before?

(xxx): No.

(xxx): Didnt think so. At least they beat Tech this year.

(xxx): Dude...re-read what you just sent.

 

(xxx): At least you still have World Series tickets.  I root for the Astros and Longhorns

(xxx): My life sucks right now

 

(xxx): What are the positives from today's game?

(xxx): Not much.  No stupid personal foul penalties from our D?

(xxx): WE CAN BUILD ON THIS!

 

(xxx): Football season is over.  How long until basket...base....damn.

 

(xxx): What are the chances Texas could steal Gus Malzahn?  He's amazing.

(xxx): Isnt Auburn just our farm system for coaches anyways?

Me: This is pathetic
Dad: Why did I fly in from Mexico for this?
Me: Send Mack your receipts, see what happens
(My dad doesn’t cuss or drink hardly ever)
Dad: Finally a turnover!
Me: I know I’m shocked
(Gilbert Fumble)
Dad: Are you shitting me? They need to start selling beer in the stadium
Me: No kidding, I’ve never heard any UT player get booed. Gilbert’s gonna be a head case
Dad: I’m a headcase, see you at your fraternity tailgate, I need a Miller
Me: Ditto

Me: Yo did you leave already?
Friend: Didn’t even go, at Abels, I can’t handle it
Me: Can’t blame you this is chinese torture
(Gilbert Pick in the end zone)
Friend: Fuck. I need another Texas Tea
Me: How many are you on?
Friend: 6
Me: Ha holy shit
Friend: I bought a bottle of crown yesterday, u down?
Me: I’ll see you at the bottom of it

TCU Fan: LOL
Me: Go away
TCU Fan: Want a purple shirt?
Me: I hope you get terminally ill
TCU Fan: Haha I love winning
Me: Bitch

Sooner Fan: Welp, looks like your season is over
Me: I wouldn’t start talkin yet, Mizzou’s gonna shock you
Sooner Fan: Stoops doesn’t lose to Mizzou
Me: Stoops doesn’t win big games either
(After the Mizzou game)
Me: Misery loves company, join me asshole
Sooner Fan: Fuck you
Me: I just smiled for the first time today

Tweets:
Greg Davis has got to go. Bring back the fucking wishbone or something

Finally Keenan makes a play for us

Retract previous tweet, thanks O-line

Somebody talk me off the ledge

Now hoping for cfb armageddon. everybody loses, lots. Boise v TCU in MNC. weakest champ ever. BCS goes away. This I pray

Thx for the smile...

Hey, the system is not perfect. But, it's better than the one we had. Um, really? Joe Paterno led 4 undefeated teams under the old system that were not National Champions. With this "better" system, we've only had to endure a BCS controversy OR an inconclusive end to the following seasons: 1998, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009.

That. Just. Happened.

Greg Paterno needs to go.

We got this….f***

Texas Fight

(xxx): We need to change our cheer from “Texas! Fight!”, to “Texas!” followed by the sound of someone trying to push out a fart and accidentally crapping their pants.

South Endzone

No joke about an empty south endzone. I felt like I was in a ghost town out there. Apparently my fellow students only care if the team is challenging for a NC. Spoiled brats.

Sorry

We are spoiled, skipping iowa state/ baylor/ rice at home at 11am is a UT tradition as far as i’m concerned, I get black out drunk the night before and wake up hung over to good news… except this time

Thanks Greg...

(913) Evidently my wife is enjoying this season. She says I’m so pissed on game days that I’m taking it out on her… and she likes! Thank you Greg Davis!

The slow wave is our best weapon.

Alumni Band's old baton guy is the only Longhorn who can catch.

He showed the best hands. And arguably the best arm.

All the “old” season ticket holders who are “bad” fans at least show up to 11:00 AM games. All of the large patches of empty seats were in student sections.

Sigh...

Sent to Scipio Tex after the game: “Am I really looking to the [San Francisco] Giants to pick me up from Iowa State? This is not a world I know.”

Scipio: “Are we going to a BCS Bowl?”

You ain't hurt...

Rangers-Giants

I’m going with my sister to Game 4.

Really hoping that I dont have to use that as a pick-me-up from the Texas-Baylor game…

Me: Dude the texas game is on. you cant change the channel to watch scrubs

Wow

You get reception inside DKR? You must not have an iPhone.

Text while watching on TV: “Dave Lapham makes my ears bleed.” “Greg Davis makes my eyes bleed.”

I don't always watch football, but when I do, I prefer Dos Achos. Stay thirsty, my friends.

Texas Exes: Just wait…

tOSU fans: 35-0!!!! annoying fight song
Texas Exes: COME ON HORNS

tOSU fans: 49-0!
Texas Exes: …

Never ask a man if he's from Texas. If he is, he'll tell you soon enough. If he's not, don't embarrass him.

All during the third quarter

(xxx) : Too bad we don’t have Dan Persa.

(xxx): I feel like I was lied to last week.

(xxx): Knox for Celek?

Yes, we actually moved our conversation to fantasy football during a Horns game.

Texas friend who went with his Mizzou girlfriend to Columbia

him: Keep me updated on the Texas score please
me: 14-3
him: F
me: 21-6
him: F
me: 28-6
him: The plane has crashed into the goddamn mountain

me: final 28-21
him: God it’s hard to justify sparring with OU fans here after that shit. I foolishly wore an orange windbreaker, I’m a moving target.
me: tell them you’re wearing Auburn orange….that might work.

Ability to text at games

LSU Friend..

(LSU Friend): Down goes LSU. How do u let 2 people rush for 400 plus yards?
(Me): Was waiting for Les Miles to pull out another trick play at the end to tie it for you guys.
(LSU Friend): The trick play was to look stupid before you snap on 4th down. Did you miss it? Tune in in two weeks and you will see something similar against Bama.
(Me): Atleast you didn’t get your butt kicked by Iowa State at home.
(LSU Friend): True
