Before the pause, neither band marched at halftime as the visitors because aggy stopped allowing the LHB years earlier, or am I mis-remembering? Aggy couple behind me at the game (because some POS Horn fans sold their tickets) was pissed because our fans booed their band. The guy asked if we were going to boo their cheerleaders next. I said if they went out on the field we would. Both bands marched, last year and this year and probably most other years. Visiting band goes first. When you march as the visiting band you can expect to get mostly booed. At the OU game, you get cheered and booed at the same time and you hear cheers or boos based on what side of the 50 you are on. It is awesome. Yesterday, Longhorn Band shortened their show so that they could split time with the Aggies.

December 1Dec 1 Popular Post Collected on my bet tonight with aggy FIL. Loser had to hang opposing teams flag in their front yard until Christmas. He’s aggy, so he will probably cheat and take it down. He was just so confident he would win. I was more confident.

Especially when they poked fun of aggy.

Nah, they ran the exact same show I saw 6 days before at the Arkansas game. Which is completely fair, given that most of them had likely gone home for the holiday and thus there was no time to put together something new. And actually since I saw it twice the funny thing is I was thinking what I was hearing at piggy as they formed the skull at the end was the Confutatis from Mozart's Requiem. The second time I saw it I was certain of it. Obviously a little different in a band arrangement, but it's lowkey funny (as the yutes would say) given it portended the second half deaths of both teams to come.

I don't remember another?

December 1Dec 1 Visiting bands marching was much more common in the SWC days. Obviously, the distances were shorter so busses were the transportation mode of choice.

Got to watch the game, then go out and have an afternoon hunt, IIRC I got 5-6. Enough action to keep things moving, but not a limit or anything like that. Early season early kickoff games are great for that - watch football, then go hunting. May already been said, I've never been sober after a Longhorn game, win or lose. Can't fathom hunting afterwards. That said, let's get nuts next season!
December 1Dec 1 Popular Post I understand that officials almost never get fired or demoted for bad calls. And it looks like poor sports to bring it up. But how in the fuck are the refs that watched Wingo get tackled by two players still employed? I don’t think I’ve ever seen such an egregious non call.

December 1Dec 1 Popular Post I did a re-watch of the game today. Boy that was fun! You could definitely tell on the broadcast how loud it was in the stadium Friday night. Such a great atmosphere! Anyway, one thing that really stood out watching the broadcast was how scared Reed looked to take shots. I don't know how many times this year I've seen Arch stand fast and deliver a ball, knowing he was about to get leveled. Reed? Notsomuch. Every time he was about to throw AND about to get hit, he started leaning away, trying to soften the blow, and his throws went (even further) off target as a result. I like our guy.

It's not a matter of distance. Back then visiting ticket allotments were much larger and encompassed the band. Now the allotment is much less, and the band isn't covered, so the opposing athletic department has to decide whether to sell those tickets to alums or give them to the marching band. Guess what wins out?

I go for the football, but they are doing a good job of entertainment beyond just the football. I would rather have a little space (time) for the fans to generate enthusiasm like starting our own Texas Fight chants as Longhorns have done for 100 years without being told to do so by Bob Cole or a DJ. And then of course “Pooooooooor aggies.” The other thing would be not just following a script, which they obviously do, and have the awareness to not have a Mariah Carey song along before a big 4th down stand. But, overall, the environment was an A+. Our players were jacked, and the stadium was rocking. Things are so much better than they were with Steve Patterson, Jetpack Man, and a coach who didn’t know his players’ names. The environment was electric, and even honest aggies would admit so, if there were honest aggies.
