The Porch, y'all. pull up a seat and kick back.

That horns down logo in the OU logo reminds me of a floppy disk.  The later ones that were weren’t so floppy.  The white part looks like the little metal chingadera.

Congrats to Kyler.  Sell deserved.   Cool family.  Heroes of A&M, Texas and OU.  (Kevin, Calvin & Kyler, you know).

[Gigem]

Lighten up,  Francis. If you can’t have a little humor here then where can you?  


Besides, if anything it was making fun of Tom Herman and his thin skin. God, if you okies have such thin skin when you’re winning I’d hate to see what happens when you’re not.

I guess congrats to Kyler on his Heisman. I’m well aware that Sumlin/A&M let a great one get away. It’s going to be interesting watching him matchup the next game (or two).

Good luck in your games.

HYWell even though i know you’re a pseud posing as Aggie (bad acting job my friend - the Horniess within just oozes forth from your posts like a continuous odor of SBD burnt orange farts), it gave me license to rub the total Aggie choke job on QBs in, even to the point of comparing A&M to the team they most hate to be compared with: Tech!  Even if there aren’t any Aggies here to see it - lol

[CharleyHorse46]

Jeez.

I haate family squabbles.  Why can’t we all just get along?  Simmer down fellows.  It’s the holiday season.  Time for Sooners, Aggies & Horns to celebrate the camaraderie of our ccommon love of college foodball.

[Gigem]

I’m still genuinely baffled cousin Freddie didn’t get a laugh out of the OU logo thing?  Shoot, I specifically posted it for his enjoyment. 

Carry on...

[CharleyHorse46]

We is humans.  Sometimes we have distracting burdens on our hearts & minds.  Many a time I have refused to give folks the response they’re expecting.

Course I’m a contrary imp.

[CousinFreddie]

Yep I’m definitely a catlike contrary to ordinary human bean.

I’d seen the logo thing before and so it wasn’t news.  Truth be told, the Horns have a very cool symbol even if they borrowed it from Minnesota.   Generally Texas does obsess about OU too much for their own good.  We probably do the same in reverse, and the upside down hand thing is evidence of that.  When we’re not playing Texas, who cares?  I think it should be discouraged outside of the RRS.  

Anyway, if you were sincere Gigem, thanks for thinking of me.  

[CharleyHorse46]

We borrowed Minnesota’s logo?  They have a straddle-legged maroon M outlined in gold and we have an orange longhorn head.  I see the resemblance to The Ram truck emblem, the female reproductive organs and the tan lines a women in a t-back gets but I don’t see the connection to Minnesota.  Can you explain, Cousin Fred?

I know nothing more than what this wiki site says:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hook_%27em_Horns

No doubt it seems like a weird thing for a team/program whose mascot is a gopher for sure, but I guess you’ll have to take that up with authors who contributed to that wiki site

[utee94]

Well wikipedia has certainly never been wrong, so...

That would be interesting if true, but since there's no citation for that assertion, it really just sounds like an Aggie edited it and made up some shit just for the fun of it.  It's been known to happen...

[CousinFreddie]

Another thing that makes one suspect Aggie input is that it’s either in that wiki, or in an article that it links, where the hook’em sign was said to be done in response to the Aggies already having a gig’em hand gesture.  Or maybe it’s true, who knows.  

[Shiner]

Maybe there's some backstory there I didn't bother to read up on.... but I can't fathom why Freddie would be offended by that logo thing.  Is that somehow a dig at the sooners?  Guess I'm not getting something..... 

For that matter, I can't fathom why horn fans get so ridiculously lathered up over the horns down sign.  I mean... is that seriously a penalty in your league now?  That is laugh out loud ridiculous.... If my fanbase got so riled up over something like that to the point the league catered to making it a penalty on our behalf, I'd be embarrassed.

But that's the Big XII for you....

I didnt think an aggie can get embarrassed
