This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I'd have to agree.. by TWO

I participate a lot on InsideTexas and the vast majority feel that at worst it was an inadvertent hit, or that he hit his shoulder, that there was no intent, etc. Most agreed though that it was a brutal collision just not one that was entirely the fault of the Texas player.

I would disagree with those who characterize Texas fans as anything other than good fans. Now I was at the Texas/Ohio State game in 2005 and witnessed some really bad behavior towards anybody wearing Texas gear.

I was at the 2006 return game in Austin and Ohio State fans came away saying they were surprised at how good and welcoming Texas fans and Austin were to them. They didn't expect that.
