varsity blues did not do well in the box office. if you knew what the show was actually about (http://sports.tamu.edu/sidelines/index.html), you would realize its less about football, and more about the town its in. people like football, i wont deny that, but not all things about football make it. the xfl didnt make it. the replacements did ok. the audience for such a program as sidelines is limited. if your team was a national contender, it might be different. but your team is failing. people in new york could give two shits about how football affects the lives of people in bryan/college station. my dad likes football shit, but has no intention of watching the show (he laughed about it when i last talked to him).

You people from cs need to realize that your not all that and a bag of potato chips. some people will watch the show and laugh at your school, and i dont know if thats the attention your going for, but i doubt it. this is similar to the bleachers situation of last week. austinites were upset, people in cs could care less. people in cs will be excited about sidelines, people in america will care less.

my prediction: in the future, sidelines will be shown on espn right before the world's strongest man competitions.

why would anyone outside of any school care about that school being featured on a show? because it's fucking football, and people like football. if the only people that watched were school supporters, no team would ever get any special attention. fortunately for espn, people like to watch football specials about football teams regardless of whether that team is based in a huge city or in rural texas...because that has nothing to do with the show or why people choose to watch it! in fact, that argument is not backed by any evidence or material, intelligent, nor does it make any sense. interesting...

sk708 is a dumbass faggie as well.

i started typing this whole letter bashing m&a and the football squad, but ill save it for rivalry week. anyways, i think that football in rural texas is poor subject material for a tv show. its ratings will probably be high in east texas, but nationally i would not be surprised to see it flop. and as for ak... person, i must have hurt your faggie feelings, but live with it. in no way did i intend to aim my comments at one person, but apparently something i said 'hit home' with you.

People, realize this, most of the things i say are in jest. I like you m&a folk, but a number of you cannot handle the same harrassment you dish out to ut students. we dont have bumper stickers showing 'castrate reveille', and we do not havbe the quantity of other derogatory stickers that m&a has. we dont show the same animosity towards you that you do to us.

and if you get offended by something i say, then imagine how some horns feel we you say 'saw em off' or call us all austinite fags.

if your going to dish it out, be prepared to eat it too. my $0.02.

p.s. ak is a dumbass faggie

Im not saying that ut is better subject material for a tv story. Im saying that a college in rural texas is not very good subject material. Its on the same lines as the movie varsity blues (high school, i know), which did not do very well in the theater. People outside m&a wont care. as far as tradition goes, the schools are pretty much equal. as far as pride goes, ut lacks m&a in that department.

notre dame did fall out of ap ratings (thank god, i saw results from when they were 0-1, when they were still in). teams in the top 5 have dropped out of the top 25 before with a loss, and i thought that with the thrashing that fsu recieved at the hands of unc, a team beat soundly by ut, marlyand, and ou, they had a chance of dropping out (they really deserved to).

First of all, Ive never heard of a top 5 team completely dropping out of ANY poll because of one loss. Whether it be 100-0 or 10-9. Second, I wont get into backing up evidence, I think you speak for yourself. Third, A&M has pride, and tradition, something UT(yes UT, not tu) has lacked in a long time. Although we might not get the players, or have the money like the UT football program does, we carry the team whether we win or lose. Thats why ESPN chose our school.

Petus, you really should look at updated polls. Notre Dame still got votes, but they dropped out of the two major polls.

Eat your ass? Disgusting....

It's a ring toss game.

Stupid, how? The only thing i said about m&a was that it wasnt very good subject material for anyone outside of the cs sphere of influence. Its not, i dont care to watch it, and i dont think itll make it. And i am pretty smart, so back off until you can come up with something to say that a) is backed by any kind of evidence or material b) is intelligent and c) makes any sense in the first place.

anyways, fsu didnt drop out of the ap rankings, and how i do not know. they got thrashed by a team we handed their asses to. and notre dame manages to stay in the top 25 (well, its not really a suprise, they are always in there).

God is dead.

Yeah I just saw that. That isn't fucking cool calling her what you did. Next time, take a spoon and eat my ass like I said earlier.

Yes I am stupid and I apologize for the earlier message (which has been erased at my request). TamUT is about partying and drunkeness, but not about stupidity.

I think Jon should stay away from the computer when he's drunk.

Ahhh, drinkin' on the parent's tab is always good. Except for when your mom tells you that you "sure do have a healthy appetite for liquor". Ouch.

Oh and I never said the Cheezy Poofs hurt. And that was only one time that I did that.

Yeah tells you something about A&M when they give a school an 11 episode deal to tell the story of their school and football program.

Hey Petus,
Mr. "I think I know it all, and what I say is very intelligent", your bashing of A&M is stupid, shutup.

Just face it, A&M football makes a more entertaining story than anywhere else. All of our traditions (and I'll admit that some are just fucking stupid) make for good TV. Our entire campus makes for good TV. We have a story to tell. UT, while having a superior football program, just doesn't have a story.

Look out for them 2-0 baylor bears and lcc red anusinvaders... and before the ut game, one of the chick announcers said the rivalry was one sided, houston was trying to suck us into a rivalry (kinda like lcc)...and on another sad note, something about football at m&a on espn, how ghey is that...

Can't hold my liquor eh? I can recall Bluto when he gets drunk...goes a little like this -

1) drink
2) drink some more
3) get obnoxious
4) drink some more
5) get real quiet
6) drink heavily
7) get disoriented
8) pass out while mumbling about "hot chicks"
9) get cheetos thrown at him
10) cry that the cheetos hurt
11) tries to throw cheetos back but throw them 3.8 inches
12) passes out for good

p.s. Bluto, no harm intended...and if i couldnt hold my liquor, I would have puked after the ring dunking so take a spoon and eat my ass.

lol

Hey has anyone been to that WhatisPlanB site? That DT girl is one stupid bitch.

HAHA someone can't hold his liquor...

In other news, Goynes blows as a receiver. Give me a scholarship and I'm sure I can go out and drop 3 of 4 passes.

why must i be hungover on saturday before the game??
