@thatdude2, thanks for posting.
Just watching and listening you can see and hear the excitement Chris Simms for Texas football.

Wish would recognize him for his accomplishments at a half time of a football game.

Would love to see Chris back in Austin

I wasn't aware that he was such a Texas fan.  When he left, he seemed to disappear.  (unlike players like VY and Colt)

He lives in my town. Huge Texas fan.

If I had to deal with some of the shenanigans he dealt with as a player, I’d disappear too. Hopefully, this is a step in getting Chris Simms back to campus for a game, at least.

Simms is sooooo pro-Horns. It would be great for him, and for our fanbase, to see him back around campus imo. I hate to pick at this scar/scab, but I never understood the vitriol towards Simms during his time on the 40. I do understand our fans were divided as to QB preference; MA vs CS, but I never understood why part of the pro-MA side could be so vitriolic towards CS. It just never made sense to me…just like the part of our base that rooted for Coach RT to lose. Unfathomable to me.

It was the bed wetter crowd who started with the good natured “limo” nickname Chris got and twisted it around. Then claimed Mack cut a deal with Phil Simms to curry favor with the NFL. And then sided with plucky Major at every turn, even though Chris was far popular with his teammates.

I could have a bad memory, but I don't recall MA receiving the same vitriol. But your post makes me rethink. Maybe MA received some of that also. Either way, hating on our own just doesn't sit well or make sense with me.

None at all. He definitely played the underdog role to his advantage.
