OT: Texas vs. Texas A&M

Submitted by LSAClassOf2000 on

 

I'm early - it starts in about 10 minutes. 

This one is rather significant in that it will be the last time these two teams play as in-conference rivals. If I recall correctly, there are only two other rivalries which have played more often than this one, so hopefully we're in for an interesting game.

But seriously.. When is the media going to stop ignoring the Craig James scandal? I mean Craig James killed 5 hookers while at SMU and he just gets a pass? Nancy Grace where are you?

Anybody notice the mattress ad that was scrolling around the stadium as A&M was celebrating their go-ahead touchdown?

It was flashing SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP as the fans cheered imminent victory over a hated rival.

Somebody should send a screenshot of it to Brandon as a warning of what advertising in a stadium can mean (and do).

Saw that.  I thought the same thing:  "What a complete disconnect from the moment . . . a key moment in a rivalry seeped in tradition that defines the very essence of CFB, and what to we have here?  A maroon 'Go Aggies!, Shut Down Texas!' banner paraded in front of the A&M crowd by the yell leaders?"  

No, we have a arena football-worthy blue neon advertising sign for a mattress company that says SLEEP SLEEP SLEEP.  

Disgraceful.
