42 points in a quarter is fucked

My wife and I got tickets to the inaugural Frisco Bowl a few years back when Tech played SMU. We ended up on the SMU side. Tech ran up the score so bad in the first half that it was a virtual ghost town in the second half on the SMU side.

Of course I was wearing a Bulldog shirt and standing up clapping and cheering everything Tech scored, which wad often in the first half. The looks I got. One guy came over and said "you are a long way from home". I said "no I live about four miles from here". He downshifted quickly.

Tech ended up winning 51-10. Irony is that my daughter got her Master's from SMU in May so I have been an SMU Dad for the last couple of years.

What was the point of that guy coming over lmaooo 😭😭😭

He was trying to intimidate. I was cheering my team, not denigrating SMU but some people didn't see that distinction. I was 6'4" around 280 at the time so intimidation didn't work very well.

Man that’s so lame. Glad he stopped messing with you.

Pretty insane how far SMU's come as a program that Tech blowing them out almost feels unbelieveable nowadays.

Well this was back in 2017 and they had just lost their coach to Arkansas a couple of weeks before the game. Full circle, Sonny Dykes came into SMU right before the game after he had been fired by Cal. He had left LA Tech to go to Cal several years earlier.
