This whole thread gives new meaning to the term "ranter". Which is actually quite a fricking accomplishment.



If this was my thread, I'd count that as 1 vote for UTards.

I don't get the whole UT/Mexican connection thing. Is because Texas borders Mexico? Or is it because there are alot of hispanics in Texas?


Both, but more the latter

Very lame. Can something be stupid and ignorant at the same time? Not to mention that it's completely racist it's also not even funny.

Makes a lot more sense than corndog. But I don't think any fanbase needs to resort to using nationalities to describe other fanbases.

I don't get it either. The Butthorns in Omaha look more Arian-nation than hispanic.

It obviously bothers you since you keep commenting on it, so it works. Now beat it.

It's probably because I use Photoshop a lot, but for me - It's a simple free-association in regards to color.

I'll cast another vote for Mexi-Gumps, since it's obvious that it gets under the skin of the Horns fans.

I love the "hispanics" reference. They're Mexicans, plain and simple. I deal with their sorry job stealing, fence jumping, river swimming, can't drive, stinkin' asses all day long. Trust me, they're Mexicans.....and I'm Mr. Gringo to them.

Ok guys...

This is meant to be fun between fans. Not to incite hatred or offensive remarks toward anyone or race.

Mexi-Gumps, Butthorns etc. will mostlikely mean something different to each person.

Mexi-Gumps for me is more geographical/territorial because Texas was northern Mexico for many years until they won their independence in the 1830's. (i.e. Texas fans calling us "French Aggy")

I think Mexi-Gumps wins out.
