Wear it proudly, Yeofoot.
Anyone who has followed this game for any length of time knows that in order to win a national title a team has to very good, have quality depth (even more so this season with 12 regular season games), and be lucky somewhere along the way.
It's a tall order to win the dag-gum thing, especially this day and time.

Not so fast, my friend! Yeofoot and his burnt orange buddies aren't all there is to Texas....my Texan wife (and my Texan brothers and sisters n law) make sure to remind me that the "T sippers" are riding high but the Aggies are the team of the native, boot wearin', beer drinking, average working guy Texan.
Not one of my wife's family stepped foot on the A&M campus, but the whole clan has folowed the Aggies for decades...the old man was a West Texas rancher cum ford tractor mechanic (you had to be a mechanic to ranch out there). My guess is that he gravitated to the Aggies back in the 40's and the kids grew up Aggie fans.

I could go around displaying the Akron logo and colors but living here in Columbus, Ohio nobody would even know what the logo was for. Sometimes I doubt that even half the football fans in my area even realize that there is a university in Akron, better yet one that has a football team that won the MAC championship last year and I only live 115 miles from the Akron campus.
Hopefully continued success with the Zips program and some of their alums like Jason Taylor, Dwight Smith, and Charlie Frye will help garner some more noteriety for the program.

My throwback jersey would be Earl Campbell, one of my Dad's college buddies! He is to Austin what Jack Nicholson is to the Oscars. The coolest guy in the room.
I can only imagine how Vince Young will be treated if he retires to Austin like Earl did. The field is named after Royall, wouldn't surprise me none if they just renamed Austin "Vinstin".
Sorry, that was lame, lol.

i have a red tag on the front of my car with an "A" on it, t-shirts, jerseys and hats.
i've seen people who ride around with those flag thingys on the windows year round but i'm not that bad.
although we do tend to buy vehicles that will match our alabama tags. mine is a black 4 runner, daughter drives a gray 4 runner and husband has a red dually.
ok that's pretty bad

In 2003 I was a graduate student with the University of Arkansas Band. When the Razorbacks traveled that year to take on #5 Texas in Austin several of the band members talked me and the assistant director to shave our heads if the Hogs won. About 20 of the students agreed to do so as well. So, the Hogs beat Texas 38-28. When we made it back to the Hotel....there were two electric hair trimmers waiting with no guards on them. We stood in a line and all 22 of us got our heads shaved balled. I have a photo of it and still can not believe I did it. Have you ever seen 22 balled white guys....and the bad part of it was that we had been in the sun and our face and necks were tan (or in some cases burnt) and our heads were extra white.
Speaking of Tennessee, Boomer, how do you think they will fare this season? I've gotten some "what are you thinking?" responses from the posters about Tennessee being in the national title game. I think that the talent is definately there. I suppose they're a pretty young team, but if they survive the first part of the schedule, they'll be okay. Cutcliffe alone, I think, will be enough to boost the offense.

I think they could take care of the Cokcs and the Hogs. Your scenario is a possibility. If they survive the Cal game, I think they'll be alright this year. If they get dismantled against Cal's running game, it could be like last year.
They don't have a whole lot returning on D, at least if I recall correctly.

Wow .... if that's the way the season goes for the Vols, I'll say you're right about Fulmer's retirement.
The bar and expectations at Tennessee are set high and for the Vols to have the season they did last year followed by a .500 season this year would be a disaster in the mind of Vols supporters. They will be hollering for Fulmer's head on a platter.

VOL COUNTRY...LOL...when its evening and the AM radio stations get an atmospheric bounce, I get a Tennessee station that bleeds over our local sports station. Listening in is a hoot.
Caller: Hello? Hello? Hello?
Station: You're on the air
Caller: Am I on the air?
Station: You are on the air, please turn your radio down.
Caller: Howse I gonna hear ya then?
Station: You are on the phone.
Caller: Oh! Right!
Caller: Coach I think you are doing a great job..I just called in to say beat Bama.
Station: Well thank you Bobby, we will give it our best. Do you have anything else?
Caller: Jes want to holler out Go Vols!
And so it goes.
