A very thoughtful and classy thing to do. Thank you University of Texas...

The University of Texas will help Wyoming remember Ruben:

UT has a history of honoring other teams' losses. And I bet Wyoming is much more gracious about it than aggy was.

[mdmost]

Good stuff. I hope our fans do the right thing and not boo Wyoming when they take the field. I cringe every time we do that against an opponent not named aggy.

[houston1108]

awesome stuff

[Orange&White]

Some schools talk about how classy they are and disprove it every chance they get. Some schools just do classy things and don't toot their own horn about it.

Wyo won me over last yr in Laramie. Met great locals & the establishments really catered to us. Your boys had plenty of fight in them & I don't expect anything different saturday. All that said, I'm as grateful as you are for Texas' gesture this coming saturday & I hope it helps yall heal up.

[gsoda3]

really hope it gets televised. unless i get tix to the game. then i don't mind it not being televised.

It is on FSN, I believe.

[Surly Bevo]

I think gsoda meant the tribute...don't count on it since they pack em in on FSN and if I were a betting man we miss some of the first quarter much less the pre-game

yeah, meant the tribute, thanks surly.

After Wyoming beats us, their band can play over ours during the Eyes of Texas.

[WhoooTex]

and they can yell "FUCK T-U!" during the moment of silence since "BEAT THE HELL OUT OF..." is probably trademarked by aggroid inc.

[qwater25]

awesome stuff

[GoingCoastal]

Will the song be Amazing Grace at half time? The Longhorn band rendition of Amazing Grace after the bonfire tragedy is still incredibly moving to this day when I see clips of it.

[Macanudo]

Kinda curious if Mack might not have made a phone call to Christensen. After all, Mack's been through this albeit not with this exact timing.

[GhostOfTomJoad]

I know it's a small gesture, Virginian, but you have to know that the sentiment is real. Mack & the entire Longhorn family have felt the same horrible pain y'all are experiencing right now. Best of luck to you & the Cowboy family in your healing.

I have no doubt Mack has already done this. None at all.

[Tap Dancing KungFu Master]

If only we were classy like the huskers...




Hope the tribute is good. Sucks that we will miss it on FSN. Be lucky to catch the halftime show by the time the game before ends. Seems like we always end up with about a 4 overtime game of two worthless teams running into the first half of our games on FSN.

[Tap Dancing KungFu Master]

Can we get Wyoming to take a knee after a touchdown to make the score 45-12 and not kick the PAT? I'm sure they aren't hoping for that score but hopefully it would have the same feel as doing it with 44.

[longhornsgirl]

Classy thing by the university to do.

[Duck of Death]

this surprises me not at all. i hope and expect all the texas fans in attendance to be on their best behavior during this, and throughout the day.

[Pimphand]

Seriously guys don't litter this awesome thread with Texas A&M anymore you sound like obsessed bitter girls.

[John Coctostan]

It depends. Is Tech on before us?

[Bevo Num1]

Would it be out of the question to applaud Wyoming as they take the field?

not sure if thats a bunch of run-on sentences, a dangling participle, or canadian, but it hurts my head to read.

[Pimphand]

Not at all in fact I think that would be very cool actually.

[bozo_casanova]

Who else appreciates The Virginian?

I hope you continue to drop by when the home and home is done.

[JDizzle]

I almost hate Tech just as much. I can't help but boo them.

[WhoooTex]

oh eat a dick

Glad we're doing the tribute. Speaks to the University's class. Good luck and all that to Wyoming.

You can't get rid of me that easily... it's a two for one deal. Wyoming comes back in 2012

[Gurrry]

I would hope our students/fans and everyone at the game would treat Wyoming with as much class as the University is on Saturday.

It would be a shame to let ignorance get in the way of help easing this tragedy for these young athletes.



If you hear or see someone boo. Go punch them in the balls.

hear, hear.

I commented on this last year, but I think The Virginian is one of the best visiting fans we've had. We need more like him.

[Red Five]

I don't know whooo, I could also do without all the "See! See how classy we are!!" shit, as well as the references to the shitheads from 11 years ago.

[longhornsgirl]

Levels of hate:

agree 100%

[Nate The Great]

echo all before.

on side topic, we are prob one of the most hated on programs. Every team we play throws horns down, so boo em all!

This, along with BoBigRed and BamaFan. Quality opposing team posters, the lot. That being said, they can all eat copious amounts of male genitalia, delivered in brown paper sacks the week we play their teams.

Maybe make an exception for the team that had a player die two days ago?

[NEwherebutA&M]

I'm planning on doing that regardless. After the game as well.

[Nate The Great]

I bet you're great in social settings.


Those kids are going through absolute hell right now. The onslaught of contradicting emotions is a tough deal and I can't fathom how they're about to play a game this weekend. I hope that they can summon the strength to put for an effort their fallen brother can be proud of. All the prayers in the world for that entire football family.

dude, no one is trying to take away from the gravity of the situation, or downplay the emotions involved with Wyoming's players. I was commenting on the dozen comments before mine. We have all expressed sincere condolences throughout the day, so fuck yourself.

Insert obligatory shaggy pile-on post with no substance whatsoever. Choose one from EABOD, DIAF, dude fuck you, or some terrible generic pun that isn't even funny.

hell i consider him a regular, he's got over 430 posts and he's not a Longhorn (or a trolling Aggy/Sooner/etc)

[DrManik]

Makes me proud to be a Longhorn. This game ought to be a good one. Full of emotion. Best of luck to both teams.

[Greenspointexas]

imma be real embarrassed if anyone boos wyoming as they come onto the field
