(To super fan: you were the black haired guy with the Jack Tripper plaid blazer. We were on the last row dirctly behind you.)
Some guy in the back of the section 134 near the top (possible row 18, or 19) who was trying to organize a "Major, Major" chant while Simms was having problems.

I just laughed to myself, "We always have so many coaches in the stands". But I also thought, "Four turnovers is enough. Major should come in because Chris doesn't seem to have the hot hand right now." You know. My buddy next to me agreed.

But, when Chris came in the next series for that first play. Super fan starts booing, along with the rest of you deputy assistant coaches. My buddy yells down to super fan:

HEY! YOU NEVER BOO YOUR OWN TEAM.

Super fan starts screaming back, going ballistic, yelling about how Chris was doing terrible and all. My buddy reiterates that you should never boo your home team, never disagreeing with the guy's point. I tell my buddy not to antagonize the guy or we'd hear him yelling us for the rest of the game and I, for one, wanted to "enjoy" the game( ).

So, of course, Major comes in and super fan goes nuts. My buddy and I start clapping because we both like Major and both felt like "Yeah, give Major a shot" because nothing was working.

Then, Major throws the pass to B.J. Touchdown! Super fan turns around, all vindicated by the switch and subsequent score, and starts jumping up and down screaming, pointing at the field while looking at my buddy as if to say: "See! I told you!"

My buddy and I were shocked. The guy just didn't get it: We wanted Major just as much as him in that situation. We just don't boo our team to get it to happen.

The kicker: super fan and entourage left early when Colorado kicked that field goal. He missed the touchdown and on-side kick.

You really are a super fan!

By the way, super fan, thanks for not wearing a TEXAS TRADITION shirt that reads "Come early, be loud, stay late" as you crawl defeatedly down the steps to your car.

If you are super fan, I feel sorry for you. You need a lesson in sportsmanship and how to root for your team.

The Nebraska fans to my right were aghast and felt sorry for us. They explained that they had only seen Colorado fans do something like boo their own team.

Thanks for adding us to his list, super fan.
 
Unfortunatly, I think you could entitle this thread "Superfan in section fill in the blank".
 
The only bad thing about Texas winning is that you get that "fringe" fan. You know the guy who never watches Texas on TV, never goes to any games, until they get ranked #3 in the country, but low and behold, these are the people that are they fuckin know it alls about everything.
 
I was in section 109 and was also surprised to see how many booed Simms coming back for his last series. I just pointed to the word 'Texas' on my shirt and indicated that we are both Texas fans. They went ballistic. I'm not sure if we were closer to a fight at that moment rather than later on with some over-zealous CU fans.

******* sad.
 
The same ******* post to the ******* in Section 3 wearing the orange sombrero. You know who you are. You moved down 15 rows after all of us around you got on you em masse about booing the team.

What an *******. ANYONE who booed is an *******. For those who chanted Major, Major, Major, I understand your sentiments. I didn't chant with you, but sure was wishing for Mack to make a move before Chris got hurt. The fans were really hard on the kid, and I wish him all the best in the future, but he really stunk up the place.
 
Our progam has really grown during the Mack's tenure and has attracted non-UT grads as "fans." I'm sure that's the source of the booing. I've met many "fans" who did not attend UT but who nevertheless talk about the horns in terms of "we" and become season ticket holders. Very strange, phenomenon. Many of the people who attended the Big 12 game did so because it was a great athletic contest. They were consumers. They were not fans. They certainly weren't students or exes.
 
The whole problem is booing your own team.

There is never a good reason, superfans.

"Superfan" is such a fitting handle for these people. They act like they are at a sixties demonstration, or something. They know better than everybody what is wrong and feel that vocal demonstration is the best way to get things accomplished.

Then, when superfan gets their way, they feel like what they did worked.

Great. Reinforcement for rotten behavior.

I am proud of my team. I am so proud of them that I will not subject them to booing. They deserve better than to have some moron who doesn't know anything about football trying to second guess a guy making a million plus who actually knows what he is doing.

Sometimes in spite of your team's superior talent, coaching, and everything else, superfan. Your teams still might lose.

You'll live, superfan.

Let's get ready for Washington.

Moving on....
 
Anybody who puts on the burnt orange doesn't deserve to be booed. They're 20 year old students not professionals!!!
 
Man, I had totally forgooten about this until your post.

I had a SF two rows behind me in section 30 and everytime he started cussing at Simms I'd turn around. Then Major comes in and throws the TD. After the noise died down I hear "Hey, why weren't you turning around and yelling at me after THAT?"

My reply got a few laughs because I said "Because, dumbass, I was too busy cheering for our score".

I think the typical SF doesn't see the irony there.
 
Can we analyze the TD pass to BJ?

There was a 3 man rush, zero pressure on the QB, and BJ was totally alone in centerfield. Could every high school QB in Texas completed that pass under those circumstances?
 
Maybe every high school QB in the state of Texas could have completed it but I know of one blue-chipper from NJ who would have hit the defender right between the numbers on the play. Simms was clearly rattled and needed to be out at that point of the game. Major stepped right, focused on Roy and then after the safety turned his hips, he looked back left and hit an open BJ.
 
kujo,

the EXACT same thing happened in section 123. I mean the exact ******* thing. After the idiots starting taunting me because Major threw a touchdown I jumped out of my seat and ran up 2 rows to tell the ******* idiot that I didn't give a rusty **** who threw the ******* touchdown...the Horns scored. I think I confused him.
