I hardly think cutting the horns off of a $1.49 sticker compares to throwing beer bottles at people or slashing tires.
I enjoy good-natured rivalry, and I never pass on an opportunity to dole out a good-natured ribbing to my Longhorn friends when we beat them. But I don't have such an inferiority complex that I have to get violent and personal about the rivalry. My girlfriend and I were at the A&M-UT baseball game in College Station in '99 and we were sitting in a section full of Aggie fans. However, in the bench behind us sat 4 (obviously intoxicated) Longhorn fans. I can't even begin to describe how obnoxious these people were. Not one Aggie made a rude comment towards the UT fans, but these 4 Longhorns felt the need to swear loudly, question the manhood of several older Aggie fans who were just trying to enjoy the game, and felt the need to scream into the back of our heads about the "superiority of UT in all aspects compared to A&M" everytime a Longhorn player got a hit. They also continued to swear loudly even though dozens of children were nearby. Real classy.
Unfortunately, UT took that game by a wide margin, which only increased the filth from the UT fans. Anyway, it was the last straw, and after seeing and hearing about the assaults, vandalism, and other behavior of UT fans at every contest between them and A&M or OU, it just showed me the utter lack of respect and lack of decency many UT fans have. I'm not just talking about the couple days leading up to the UT-A&M game. I'm talking about all the time.
But once again, I will say that I'm sure there are people like this at ALL schools. But not to the extent of UT. Obnoxiousness seems to be a UT fan tradition.

Yeah, UT does have some bad fans, i will admit that freely. But there are a few things you must consider, most ppl at UT games are so drunk, they probably don't know what they are doing, not that that is an excuse, but just a fact. As for saying that only UT fans slash tires and other stuff, please, out of all the times i have been to College Station, i have only had the horns on my stikers remain intact ONCE. And as for UT fans hurting ppl and just genrally being mean, once again, like that dosen't happen at every school, I was pushed into walls last year at OU weekend, and have seen some ags (not all, but some) do some pretty harsh things too. Point is, it happens, not that it is a good thing, but it does, obviously we aren't the ppl doing it, so why does it matter! Just my 2 cents.
BTW: Petus, you rule! :)
