    I think you're probably being a little too generous.

    Wait, are they gonna count the gameday vote shit as a win? They may get to 6 wins if they do.

    Interesting take. Remind me of the Longhorns record the past 2 seasons... 13-12 wasn't it ? I think I'd be more worried about them getting to 6 wins than trashing a team not on your schedule anymore.

    Ah, another SEC SEC homer coming to look after his new little brother. That's sweet.

    Scroll to the top and check the thread title. Its about A & M, not Texas.

    FWIW..

    The A&M Students found a glitch in the voting on the website somehow.

    Good for them though I say..

  • It depends...
    …as soon as I saw that you didn’t have to validate your e-mail address, I knew it was less of a question of “could it be hacked” and more “how badly will it be hacked.”
    Whoever ESPN hired to set this up appears to be incompetent, but the question is how incompetent. My guess is that they’ll either (a) throw out the first few hours worth of votes or (b) go back and filter out the hacked votes. It all depends on what kind of logs ESPN kept.
    There is the slight possibility that ESPN made this so easy to hack as a honeypot to make it easy to identify the bogus votes. But if you were doing that, then you wouldn’t try to put a band-aid by limiting you to Facebook votes in just a few hours. So I tend to believe that ESPN was just completely clueless and not clever.

    That was the first day of voting. We definitely did hack it and so did other schools. ESPN threw out those votes and started over.

    I believe this was a legit vote other than people creating multiple Facebook accounts.

    I knew it was about A&M that was my point. You are saying they might not win 6 games when Texas has went 13-12 the past 2 seasons... They are just as likely themelves not to win 6 games yet you are worried about what TAMU is or isn't doing. I guess them dumping Texas for the SEC must have stung a bit.

    No not at all. They are your problem now and you will come to hate the whiny bitches just as we did. Your time is coming, just wait for it.

    Unless you have a preference for milkmen cheerleaders that is.

  • Ahh the Texas Longhorns. Claim to be elite when you only have 4 national titles since 1920.

    Don't worry Texas fans. You're due for another national title around 2030.
