Hmmm.  I really don't know.  I hated losing that 2006 game, but it was mostly because there were 2 really obnoxious aggie fans right behind me, giving me shit toward the end of the game.  My i s c & a aggie wife was so embarrassed about their behavior, she asked them to please stop and they called her a 2%er.  Not sure what win I'd give up though. 
2006 was 12-7 one, correct?  That was a great game, first and only one we won in Austin during my time as a fan. Plus, we knocked UT out of the CCG, if I’m remembering correctly.

I don't recall the stakes.  All I remember is the assholes behind me.  My wife was so disappointed in aggie fans that day, I think it directly affected her fanship.  She really seemed to believe that aggie fans were somehow different and better than others, so when faced with obvious evidence to the contrary, she was pretty disillusioned.

Yeah, you can have bad fans on all teams. I think it probably stems from the long losing streak we had at the time, as I recall from 2000-2005, so 6 in a row.  A lot of non competitive games in that era too, and a lot of bad losing seasons. No excuses for bad behavior, but hopefully it’s few and far between. 

I remember my first A&M game in 1997, couple of Longhorns in our area. We generally left them alone, and they cheered for their team and we cheered for ours. They were smack dab in the middle of hostile territory, I remember thinking they were brave.

Oh I recall plenty of loudmouth asshole aggie fans in Austin in 1990 after the ags' 6 straight wins as well.  Point being, there are asshole fans in every fanbase, and it's silly to try to hold your fanbase above it all, because in reality they're all the same.

Anyway, I've had several good experiences at Kyle Field wearing orange and sitting in the midst of Aggies all around.  Bad behavior is not a universal thing, to be sure.

Some people just take this way too personal.

Definitely.

We're going to have to be on our best behavior tonight.  I'm not even inviting my most... strident... Longhorn friends.  Mostly just our friends who sometimes forget there's even a game on.

I haven't been to a ton of other stadiums where we were the away team.  Most of the other places I've visited had nothing to do with us.  So maybe it's no surprise the biggest assholes I've dealt with were ours.  Thus, unlike Mrs. Utee, I've never been under any illusion we had no buttheads.  My earliest memory in Tiger stadium is dad taking me to an Ole Miss game and two old farts were trash talking OM constantly.  I don't remember any OM fans being around....they were just old geezers who couldn't stop trash talking.  As I recall, we lost that game.  

I occasionally ran into UT assholes at my many DKR appearances, but they tended to be a higher class of a-hole.  More t-sip arrogance vibe than working class potty mouths.

Oh man bring it on!

Well that game was tough, as I expected.  The crowd was crazy, as I expected.  Horns defense was good, as I expected.  Horns offense and special teams put a bullet directly into the foot 4 times in the second half... did not expect that.

Anyway, that was definitely a "survive and advance" kind of game, which I also expected.  Best of luck to the Ags in the bowl game and we'll see you in Austin next year!

I thought using Arch near the goalline was a nice touch and I did not expect that

Yeah, as long as it's not over-used.  They were ready for it the second time. I really thought Sark would have him come in and throw.

Ugh. Not surprised by the loss, but I was very surprised by how badly our offense played, especially our OL in short yardage situations. I said before this game started that our OL was not good, but they were even worse than I expected. Play calling leaves a lot to be desired as well, but that’s basically Elkos MO.  He’s going to run the ball.  It sucks to end the season with 3 conference losses in a row, two of which were easily within reach. 

Not sure if losing Moss really hurt us that badly or not, but we never played the same. 

Congrats on the win.  Now you get your rematch with Georgia, in Georgia. Speaking of which , does anybody know if the SECCCG will ever be held anywhere else?  Like Houston or Dallas?

I think they recently re-upped the contract in Atlanta for a good while longer, but I wouldn't be surprised if eventually they rotate to Texas every now and then.  Legacy SEC teams are regularly scheduling 1-off neutral site games in Texas for the exposure, seems like a slam dunk to host a championship game there.

I didn’t realize it, but the last time we played in 2011 social media was nothing like it is today, with all the media editing abilities and meme generation.  Not even sure if twitter was a thing.  Facebook still had the wall.  Anyways, it’s brutal out there. Compared to the message board trash talking of yore, it’s a whole new world.
