That playoff game left a bad taste in a lot of GS fans mouths and TxSt is pretty much blamed for all the horrors we had to endure afterwards.
Mostly just because you are new and I'd like us to look dominant against an FCS move up. I have to admit, it isn't a very realistic expectation since we're not far removed from being one but it'd be nice if it happened lol.
I didn't follow FCS ball, or TXST sports for that matter, when that playoff game happened so it's simply a story to me. A very good story.
This would be the main reason but let us not forget 2005.
From someone that not only followed FCS, I was at that game.
GaSo had every right to be confident going into that game, even cocky; going against an upstart, flash in the pan team but there was absolutely no respect for what that TXST team had done that year.
Eagle fans were nasty, rude, arrogant and down right ugly towards TXST fans. There is a line between supporting your team and what I heard from the visitor's that day.
While I will support GS in everything they do in the SBC I will also never forget how they treated us, in our house, in 2005.
Maybe some of you were there and didn't do some of the stuff I heard/endured; until it became the Barrick Nealy show, but I want this win so bad I can taste it.
That said, our current players weren't around either (this year's seniors would have been in 6th or 7th grade?) but they know that GaSo wants this game and are working to follow in their 2005 teams' footsteps.
