Did Sark even know what that was? Probably thought it was some rando intro music.

Yeah Sark knew, he just played it cool, no biggie.

[jkates]

The funny thing is that most Longhorns find it funny and don't care.

But if Texas Fight or The Eyes of Texas had played when Elko walked up, Aggies everywhere would have lost their minds.

Somebody make that happen.

[Aspann85]

No need. It was funny imo. I wish it had been the ags did it on purpose somehow. Rivalries deserve that level of fun pettiness that hurts no one. Just laugh and move on!

[CoachBobbyFinstock]

It was Bush League but Texas can settle it when it matters. It was no accident.

[syracusehorn]

The difference here is that Sankey was not happy about the appearance of some kind of disrespect toward member institutions. Even if it was unintentional.

Yormark, commissioner of the BigXII, was actively throwing gas on the fire for disrespectful conduct.

Rivalries and college sports fans are going to needle each other. It's part of the fabric. But the conference should be neutral, and that's what Sankey's comments address.

[SpaceCityWrangler]

Sark was likely dialed in as he should be.  Not sure if he noticed.  

[Tuco Ramirez]

If every time they play that auditory vomit we get two 5 star recruits, them let them play it.

[BBLeed]

I thought it was intentional to show our little brothers that we still own them. Especially after last year’s one more beat down. Because they knew we would not be ready to play them in their house w/ their 12th man and all.

But that would have been pretty cold…

OBTW - Texas currently leads the series 77–37–5

I can rest easy knowing tamu will never ever lead the series while I am alive. Hook’em!

Play baby got back when Elko waddles up and we’re even

FOUR DECADES of victories!!!

Hook 'Em!

Even their fight song sounds like huge expectations just to go 8&4

I don’t think he noticed.

Thinking about it, at Bama he might have been in the press box and oblivious to it. Then at the game, they are subdued and he's locked in, so maybe it truly didn't register.

 

I'm good with him ignoring it either way!

 

And I appreciate Sankey  addressing it just on merit.

Yeah he barely got to here it last year so he was prolly pretty unfamiliar with it 

[Alex Butler]

Closest they’ll get the war hymn to a national championship or playoff this century 😜 

[jonbailey]

They are still big mad Sark interrupted there scripted entrance to Kyle field. Not acknowledging was pretty cool.

 

[chennups]

I missed him interrupting the entrance last year. What happened?  I thought the whole intro to the game was about A&M. It was so extra as the kids would say.

[Philip Barber]

Y’all don’t get it.  The Aggies were sending a subliminal message to Sark:  Come and coach us because we want a real SEC coach.
