Im surprised that you guy's dont have him riding the pine by now ...
Vinny is gone. I am a bit more laid back and I certainly don't ban people for disagreeing with me or the majority. Actually I am quite used to this attitude. It's common on many UT boards and it's the main reason I stay away from them. The elitist attitude by some is really irritating even to other UT people.
The most annoying things are the ones that tend to put VY over the program and everything else in their lives, all of the anti-Texans stuff because "how dare they not draft VY" like it was their duty, etc etc. Most of those guys are admittedly not NFL fans so to me they are irrelevent when it comes to their opinions on the NFL.
I live in Austin, most of my friends are UT people and of course I attend many games. Fortunately I only see that garbage on the net. If I never went to a UT board I would be oblivious to most of that stuff. Of course we all love the Horns but c'mon.

I found it interesting that Chip Brown was in on so many information leaks during the expansion saga. It makes me believe, the more I've gone back and looked at the sequence of events, that UT-Austin was at the center of putting into motion the changes. (To all UT-Austin fans, I'm not saying it's a bad thing or a good thing, all schools should look out for their best interests IMO, but it just seems to me that a lot of what happened could be contributed to Dodds/Powers posturing).
Also, you do realize that up until about 15 years ago or so, Oregon was small potatoes while Washington has been a powerful football and to a lesser extent recently basketball school for many years. Not to mention Oregon and Washington is a very large rivalry for both alumni bases.
This is a very good point that many refuse to acknowledge or are too ignorant about the history to understand. Everything is cyclical. I remember when TAMU was a powerhouse and UT was a bottom dweller in the SWC. UT is on top for now, along with Oklahoma & Nebraska, but 4 years ago Nebraska could not beat St. Mary's...( ok, a little overdone, but you get the point.)
Yes, that is my point. Put UH in the Big 12 and they won't be "bottom dwellers". UH was often a power in the SWC, Baylor never was for example and never will be in the Big 12. I don't see how having UH and TCU in the Big 12 would hurt UT. Both of those programs in the Big 12 would be a bigger draw than many current Big 12 schools.

You ever posted or read the Orange Bloods boards?
Im one of those UT people who are bothered by ... man there is a laundry list.
What happened to Vinny ?
No, but I can't imagine it would be different than most of the non-subscription boards. I honestly don't spend or have the time to mess around with other boards. OB is subscription based so considering all of that I haven't joined.
I haven't received a straight answer on that.

It's a great site and definitely has a lot of inside information on the team and other things around the school, but the board is awful as far as objective discussions go and civility as well. Their really is no moderating at all, and it's a ton of fights constantly over there. I won't even post over there, so that ought to tell you all you need to know. That is where you'll find the worst bunch of Longhorn fans you've talked to anywhere.

If I may, and I don't take to making pro-board-group-hug-statements easily, but the people here as a group are much more enjoyable than any other site I've frequented. Over the years and including other sports, aviation, and hobby boards I've seen plenty.
Meh, I have been a Longhorn guy my whole life. The last thing I need is a bunch of morons turning me off of the Horns.
Actually when we lost to UCLA I did tell a buddy of mine that the silver lining was at least I knew there was a bunch of Titans "fans" and a-holes from those message boards suffering too.
I am real curious who these message board Horns fans really are. I ask because I haven't personally met many UT folks with some of those attitudes. Most I know and I have met are always pretty cool. Like I said I go to most games or watch them at the Alumni Center across from the stadium. So I do mingle with all kinds of burnt orange folks on Saturdays.
Maybe most don't live in Austin? Maybe it's like when I lived in Dallas. Most Cowboys fans in the DFW area are not the same type of arrogant moron Cowboy fans that live elsewhere. In Dallas most are down to earth and realistic, probably because the DFW media is always tough on the team. Who knows.

Showing your age are you? 22, maybe 23 years old.
You do realize that the Huskies were good at one point? The Huskies were really good in the 80's and 90's and even splitting titles in 1990 and 1991?
But I am sure it was just a slip up. You couldnt really think the Huskies are the equivilent of Iowa State.

you know Bill it's just too easy with you and other Aggies. Ya'll say some crap like this and at that point it's all too easy to bury Aggies with their below mediocre recent past.
In the Rivalry 2-8 the past 10 years.
In bowl games 2-10 the past 10 years.
One conference championship.
1999 was the last season they finished in the top 25.
Just too easy. At this point some little "scathing" comment like "TU" is like a Chihuahua barking at a German Shepard. Yep. Usual Longhorn conceited prick, I know.
Truth is I've lived in College Station most of my life and outside of its athletics (primarily football) its a school I really respect. They've got an excellent Vet program ( to this day my qualifications for ours is they have to be an A&M grad), good engineering, business and architecture programs. It's also a really nice campus. I used to work for a delivery place near campus. I won't even talk about the eye candy there.
When I was in Town Go-Go Vizio, or at least that's what they used to call it was a great highlight for the computer animation program there.
I've also lived there long enough for Aggies decrying the Longhorn rap sheet to know better. There's plenty of things that happen at North Gate and other areas that the locals bury. I've also lived there long enough for people that talk about Longhorn fans being jerks, to know the truth otherwise as well.
Truth is at this point, I want A&M to get better because a rivalry just isn't fun when you're running the kind of record lately that UT has had. I also want A&M to do better because it reflects on the strength of our conference as well.
I also now like to talk what I do know about the A&M football program because it reminds me of home. Long as the other side knows I'm a UT fan and is reasonable it's all good, if not all bets are off.

A&M talking trash is more of a laugh really. No one takes their trash talk seriously, because they're so far below the barometer that you almost feel embarrassed for them. Most Longhorn fans that I know don't even trash the Aggies anymore. Not even the most arrogant Longhorn fans that I deal with. They feel so embarrassed for them and their attempts to trash Texas that it's not even something to engage in out of pitty and sympathy. They can't even call themselves the 4th best team in the BIG 12 and trashing Baylor at this point isn't even easy for Aggie and that's just the reality in 2010.
Like you I root for the Aggies. They're a Texas team and I'd like for them to one day get their stuff together. It would make things much more interesting, but I don't see that ever happening any time soon.

You've got to be kidding me? How did this thread get started? It got started from people in here bashing Texas for several weeks in a row and going out of their way to try and stick a fork in them, and you call that arrogance because fans like myself want to say wait a minute, lets look at some of the facts here and defend my favorite school. That's the exact same thing you do when someone disses the Texans, so lets not act hypocritical here. I don't go around here and brag and shove the Longhorns success in other people's faces and I don't see anyone else doing that either. It's been about 4 or 5 guys that have tried to trash Texas and their fans throughout multiple threads in here and this is a board full of people mainly FROM TEXAS.
You ever seen me starting up threads to bash the Aggies or TT? Nope. As a matter of fact I root for them and I've said that many times in here. But hey, when you get a bunch of A&M fans and other Texas bashers that want to throw the smack around, well don't get upset when the door comes back to hit you in the face. It's not the Texas fans that have started this or that have tried to act high any mighty. It's the people that hate Texas that have done that. You get what you give. At the end of the day, none of these fans of these other schools are in any position to be bashing Texas from the start, so it's not really a smart smack session to start with in the first place.

I did remember that, and I remember you telling me in person you hated Texas and many of the slight ribbing you've given to Texas. Most of your stuff is just little harmless tongue and cheek stuff that isn't an attempt to sling mud. These other guys in here have gone out of their way to crush Texas in here and have started multiple threads where they weren't even informed on half the stuff they were talking about.

I don't hate on any other Texas school either. I root for the Big 12 over out of conference teams, and I root for any Texas school over anyone else when they are playing an out of state team. I'd love to see TCU shock the country this year, even if Horns fans would have to listen to the "second best team in Texas" taunts. When it comes down to conference stuff the only team I want to win every game without exception is UT, but I really like seeing good teams come out of the state -- even if it's a rival. I loved when Leach made Tech into a power, and I always liked Spike Dykes too.
I really don't like OU at all, but I did respect them tremendously for their stance during the conference shakeups. The Sooners were very clear that they and UT were partners wherever they went, and they seemed to also play a big role in keeping OSU with them too. That's what got in my craw about half of the A&M fan base wanting to ditch their rivals and head to the SEC. Rivalries make college football. It is shameful to abandon schools that you have played for a century so you can cash a bigger check.

I did not stereotype you with them. But it is hypocritical of you to complain about myself or any Texas fan putting the truth out there about the dominance of Texas when this whole thing started from a bunch of people that hate Texas who have gone out of their way to bash Texas relentlessly and rub it in their fans noses. Where is your complaints with them from the start? Where were you then? You think it's okay for them, but the minute a Texas fan does it back you don't like it. Well that's a bunch of crap. If you want to dish it out make sure you can take it in return. And I actually said that you weren't one of the ones that I was talking about so I don't know where you're even getting the stereotyping you with them thing from. I clearly stated that your comments have always been tongue and cheek for the most part and pretty harmless ribbing which is fine.
When you're a fan of a below average school or team and you're constantly trying to go after the team that's by far the most dominant as far as the comparison goes, it's a pretty silly battle to start in the first place.
