Thanks Horns Fans

by 78Bruin on Sep 28, 2010 2:49 PM CDT

I'd like to acknowledge the graciousness and class of the UT fans that our group encountered last weekend in Austin. Despite the disappointing outcome of the game, you guys showed a tremendous amount of class and sportsmanship. After the game and thru Sunday, people came up to us wherever we went to congratulate us and wish us the best.

Before the game, people welcomed us in a sincere manner and wished our team good fortune. You guys really know how to party and the food was fabulous. Those smokers were amazing!!

On the way back to the hotel following the game, we tuned into the post-game call-in show on The Horn. Naturally, the "Chicken Little" syndrome was in play. I hope that overreaction has yielded to reality -- the Horns are a force in the Big 12 and will be playing in a major bowl game (not like the Eagle Bank Bowl) at season's end.

We were particularly impressed with your tradition. The marching band was sensational and the I've never seen an entire stadium sing in unison like you fans in Austin.

You should be very proud to be a Longhorn fan and I wish you good luck for the rest of the season. You guys are the best!!!

Good to Hear

It’s nice to hear that sort of thing. I somehow ended up walking on the downramp out of the stadium with a huge cluster of UCLA fans who were cheering and whooping it up and you all seemed like a pretty good bunch yourselves. Glad that you enjoyed your stay.

After the Saban's final TD in the NC game last year....

I stood and applauded UCLA for taking the knee at the end. They came out and outplayed the Horns and ended the game with class.

How the hell did you guys lose to stanford 35-0?

Just interested on how they stopped the pistol so easily

Stanford's offense "stopped" it

It’s simple, Stanford did not turn the ball over a single time. As a result, Stanford’s offense was on the field for 36:51, which is also a result of UCLA turning it over 4 times (one of them was a fumble recovery for a TD). Texas was only able to force 2 turnovers, none of which directly led to touchdowns.

UCLA virtually had the same number of rushing yards per carry vs Stanford as they did vs Texas. Difference is they actually had to throw the ball since they were trailing.
