Regardless of who wins, the Texas governor still has less power than all of the other 49 governors.

I second that.

Me too. Tony Sanchez is an incompetent loser. I'm not fond of Rick Perry either, but he's the lesser of two evils.

I don't care who wins the elections today, as long as Tony Sanchez loses. I hate that guy.

Take Italian... not too difficult...

Just reminder: If you are registered please get out and vote. Polls open from 7am-7pm today.

If your at school and unable to vote in person today I'm sure you already requested a mail in ballot because they are due to polling centers by 7pm today as well.

This public service announcement brought to you by the Letter "L" which is more numerous for A&M these days.

You're all welcome. It's missing some of the better spots, but it's got the famous Y2K test one, and The Perfect Show.

OK, I swear I remember typing "Vasher", but I had just taken an Italian oral test, so you never know how the brain was working. My apologies, I had a dumbass moment.

I hate to be picky, but Jammer doesn't play for UT anymore.

Whoa, major props on the message board. Multi double-platinum props, baby.

Props. P to the rizz-ops.

Let me know what ya'll think of the new board layout on the homepage poll. Or write your comments here.

You can give props to CU for beating Texas and you can give NU and OSU props for beating you, but you can't give Texas props for pasting CU during the regular season last year AND OSU, and then beating both OSU and NU this year. I'm gonna point you in the direction of Kelly's reference to the huge sticks up OU fans' asses now because that's just about the only thing that can explain that post.

Right, because UT no longer gives A&M props either, do they?

*sarcasm*

In my one dimensional football thinking that doesn't go before the Stoops days yes it's hard to give a compliment to a team that hasn't beaten us in last 3 years. Of course that means I must give Okla. St. & NU props for the wins last season against OU. And I give CU props for stopping UT in the Big 12 game last season as well, but to give a team props that has lost the last 3 meetings with OU then the answer is no.

So, the National Champion had a good season, and everyone else was all hype?

Makes for about 111 really shitty seasons. Forgive me if I'm a little less pessimistic.

I love how hard it is for Sooners to give compliments. NU sucks, Texas sucks, CU sucks. It never ends, does it?

Josh, with the exception of Texas in your very very good category, all the teams lost this weekend so they can't be all that very good.

And to be honest yes I think OU is overhyped right now. We've been winning due to the powerhouse that is the OU D, but the offense hasn't been able to accomplish much on it's own. Colorado proved that by holding Griffin to just over a 100 yards rushing as opposed to 248 against Texas. Also Colorado had more total offensive yards than OU, but the score was still lopsided. Hell, the cover of the October Sports Illustrated had a picture from the OU/UT game to gain attention to an article on the teams at the top of the BCS. But when you get to the article it's all Miami, and maybe a blurb about OU, so it's all hype. It's the Stoops Sooner Magic. If we win out this season and win the Big 12 title then we've lived up to the hype without going to (insert bowl name here).

If your Winning big OU/CU 27-11 as opposed to winning small LCC/A&M 48-47 or UT/NU 27-24 it's still a win and will get you there despite rankings, etc. If that weren't the case Miami would be middle of polls for sure with thier bad showings in the last couple games. But Winning out puts your name in history not just the weekly newspaper.

Last time I saw UT in History was 1970.

It's apparently impossible for anyone but Texas to be overhyped. I mean, look at Notre Dame, FSU, Florida, Penn State, Tennessee, etc.

also, i think it's important to point out that the terms "quality win" and "big game" are completely subjective. it could be argued that if you're at the top and everyone's gunning for you, every game is big and all wins are quality ones. of course, i wouldn't know about quality wins because my team sucks hella balls.

texas won a game on saturday it was supposed to win, and simms definitely contributed to that effort. i wasn't trying to start an argument, but i was just saying that IN MY HUMBLE OPINION it wasn't that big of a win because texas was obviously the better team. if nebraska had won, it would have been a huge upset, so i don't think texas winning is that significant. i do agree that rivalry-type games (as with ND and BC) don't always adhere to trends, but if one team is significantly better, they should win (yes, i am saying that if ND had won, it would not be that big of a win, but since BC won it was a huge upset). like i said before, i also won't think it's a big win when texas comes into kyle field and bitch slaps the ags because we're just not very good. some might say you can throw out the records when rivals play, but i think the only way you can assure a close game is if one team is not significantly overmatched, which the ags obviously will be. emotion will only carry a team so far. beyond that, the overmatched team's only hope relies on the other guy's mistakes.

"2 above average teams with ALOT of hype. "

Typical sooner myopia. Just when I think OU_Guy actually has a head on his shoulders, we get this crap. UT is "above average" ? No. Iowa St, Kansas St, Oklahoma St, Nebraska, Tech, Michigan, Tennesse, Florida, FSU - those teams are "above average". Texas, UGA, ND, VaTech - those teams are very, very good. OU, Mia, OSU - those teams are elite. Until they lose, then they're just "overhyped", right? What happens when everyone loses (very possible, given this season). Is the national champion then marked with an asterisk? The "winner by default?"

What if OU and UT end up playing in Tempe, and (gasp!) UT doesn't give up a 54 yard punt return and momentum shift, and pulls off the win? Who's loss is more costly, Ut's to OU or OU's to UT? Is OU then a "product of the hype" ?

What I took from his post and most of the posts on here not written by UT students, is that because Nebraska is a lesser team this year than we are used to seeing, it somehow makes our win over them less of an accomplishment. How many people were sitting back before this season and even up to Saturday, questioning whether or not Texas had what it took to beat Nebraska at their house? Then, when we go in there and hand them only their second home loss in 11 years, people claim it wasn't a quality win. But I guarantee that if Texas had lost that game, we would have been hearing "Texas chokes again." Besides that fact, Aggies are really the last people who should be talking smack at this point. And yeah, dissing Simms after the game he played on Saturday and downplaying the quality of our win is smack in my book.

Ashley,
There was no hostility in my post, just stating that despite the aggie commenting on "not a quality win" your post sounded as though you had something to prove as if everyone on here was stating that Simms had a bad game, but almost all of the people posting about Simms have been positive. And Yes Simms had good showing in the numbers, but so did A&M against Tech but they still lost. So stats alone won't give Simms the credit for a quality win. Just because it's been one of his better showings this season doesn't justify it was just 2 above average teams with ALOT of hype. Your post came across as "so there, see Simms can do it" which was not the case.

I don't like the new messageboard.
