Facts -- Tech Fans

Also please don't bring up the A&M band having to be escorted away from the stadium as proof of anything. A&M's band plays over our school song at the end of the game pretty much every time they come to Lubbock. If they win or lose... they think it's time for Yell Practice when the Tech band is playing the Matador song.

So you agree that it's classless. Good start.

If you aren't going to be appalled when we chant raider power during your school song and are polite to those around you I am sure you will have a good time.

Uh oh - your buddies admit that you do it too. Sounds like you guys need to huddle up and get your story straight.

I'm not gonna lie. I'm going to be a total a-hole to all my Tech friends tomorrow after we whip them on their home turf.

It's our mutual hatred and unwillingness to forget or forgive even the slightest insult that makes these games between former SWC foes so special.

Here's the deal - SMU has had great teams, average teams and horrible teams - but not once has anyone every accused SMU fans of chanting or booing during another team's school song - because that has never happened. The reason that has never happened is even the most idiotic, over served, low end SMU fan is not that low - and if someone ever tried it they would be shouted down by other SMU fans. We are not angels - but we understand basic sportsmanship.

That single thing - which happens often at Tech - illustrates the difference between our respective fan base - and until it stops you can't even really have this conversation.

Couldn't agree more. The SWC was the best conference and still lives on in the blood of those who were around to see it. There are few teams I hate more than the former SWC teams, and particularly the SWC teams in the Big former 12.
