yea, poor Shasta lost a toe in an accident in transportation to tu. Sips caught wind and flashed the sign at UH fans as a joke. UH loses game and first trip up there in the SWC UH fans use the sign and we win 30-0 (dads day Massacre). 30 years later the rest of the world and opponents thinks it's hilarious the crowd throws the shocker.

Yeah, that is what I have always heard.  I just wanted to see if there were other theories. 

Hook 'em.   :cool:

There are plenty of other explanations,if you look at it it looks like a U and a H, heard some one say it was a way of telling the horns their number 1 and also heard it some how looks like a car. I think you need to use a lot of acid to see a cat.

I love that they're staunch supporters of our Fort Hood troops.  :aok  After having seen them demonstrate that, I don't give two hoots on whether or not they play great ~ We go see their games out of thankfulness for all that they do for our Fort Hood soldiers.  :aok 

Plus, seeing a ball game is a side perk.

They are a lot of fun to go and watch. The stadium (Dell Diamond) is top notch. Not really a bad seat in the place. It's a pretty ball firld...pretty goood ball club most years.

When Clments was making his comeback for the Stro's we got to go watch him pitch a few innings. 5 rows up directly behind home plate. Was a beautiful night for ball and the Express won. Just to see a HOF pitcher (potentially) was great.

They have Fireworks every Firday night that they are in town. I live in a Sub-division less than a mile from the ball field and the fireworks are seen in my front yard very very easily. SO its cool to have that other than my dogs hate em and bark the whole time :lol

all in all its a good time and I enjoy going to the games. Not to expensive at all for tickets. Beer is high priced and warm usually :lol So I just have a coke or 2.

I had military training in Texas. Boy is that state a hoot. And the woman? There are tons of beautiful woman in Texas. Actually I was all set to test for Houston and Dallas PD and often wondered how things would have worked out if I had went back to Texas. I never drank Coors before I went there. I remember after 12 hours of field training I'd come back to the PX and drink about 19 pitchers of the stuff. Lone Star I drank by the container ship too.

In Texas they love guns, hunting, fishing, football, woman, beer, barbecue, and at least back then, you could drive with road pops. Now thats a perfect state. At least for me.

GEORGETOWN TEXAS HERE!!!! :D

Just a little above Austin.




You guys should go hit up the Catfish Parlour in Georgetown. One of the best restaraunts I've ever eaten at.



(Austin, Georgetown, Houston, and Galveston are my favorite places in the world to be at. :D)



Oh and Sun City is in Georgetown for all the older people who want to retire there. My dad met a guy who flew B-25s during WW2 against the Japanese. My dad would always go and tell me the guy's stories before work at Sun City closed down. I think a whole bunch of famous Baseball People live there too. (I think I can name a P-51 ace there, A-26 pilot, B-25 pilot, famous pitcher for I think the Cardinals) if you ever want to hear cool stories, go to Sun City. I was at the memorial day thing last year and there was a guy who hit the beaches at Omaha Beach with the first wave. It was a great story.  :D

Goto Google and type in "French military victories", then hit "I'm feeling lucky".
Here lie these men on this sun scoured atoll,
The wind for their watcher, the wave for their shroud,
Where palm and pandanus shall whisper forever,
A requiem fitting for heroes
