ohhh im an aggie we sing fight songs the entire game ohhhhhhh
This thread is cracking me up. Ballcox gives out a lot of UT-related info in his various posts in here, and is sticking to his guns here. And the loyalties of the Aggie posters should be commended.
Face it, both schools have gone through some amazing highs (CWS les, Final Fours, BCS bids) and some incredible lows (0-for-decade runs against rivals) over the last few years. I've really never been much of an Aggie basher. Their school spirit dwarfs anything I saw at UT, and some of the traditions that they have in College Station need to be seen (or in the case of Silver Taps, heard) to be believed and appreciated.
I find the "t.u." label, upside down / sawed off Longhorn decals, and the fight song to be humorous rather than insulting toward The University, but really don't read into it further than that.
And yeah, UT's won five straight and eight of the last ten. But before the Horns went on that stretch, A&M won something like nine out of ten...with the Longhorn's sole victory (I think 1990) the year UT got punked by the 'Canes in the Cotton Bowl.
Aggies are good, solid rivals. I'll save the bile for OU and Arkansas and those weaklings out in Lubbock.
ohhh im an aggie we sing fight songs the entire game ohhhhhhh
Staying for the entire game? Sounds like hard work.
our mascot is an agriculterer that is really ripped ohhhh
Someone decipher that for me. Thanks in advance.
what is 'aggie' short for
The mascot is a dog. "Aggies" is the team name.
what is the team name 'aggie' short for
Didn't know being a fan of ANY sports team meant you had to go to school there, live or be born there.Actually, the problem seems to lie with the fact that very few of the UT "fans" in this forum actually matriculated there.
So, if someone is a fan of Kentucky basketball they have to have went to school there?
If someone is a Spurs fan they have to live in SA?
If someone is a Lakers fan they have to live in LA?
Seems like people that have 20 degrees missed on knowing what it is to be a fan.
Common sense isn't so common I guess.
Like it or not, I'm a fan.
Too bad.
If someone is a Dallas Cowboys fan they have to live in Dallas?
If someone is a Norte Dame fan they had to go to school there?
If someone is a Chicago Bulls fan they have to live in Chicago?
That's the pros. Collegiate athletics is the subject at hand. Yeah, I think it's reasonable to expect someone to have a real connection to the university, especially if they want to start dogging other schools.
I mentioned UK.
What about Indiana basketball? Georgia Football? Florida football? Penn St football?
Those I believe sir, are colleges. The subject at hand.
A real connection? According to that is????
Guess what?, I'm still a fan.
so the mascot is a dog and the team name is slang for agrilculturer
sit down busdriver!
This coming from someone who supports a team with a castrated mascot.our mascot is an agriculterer that is really ripped ohhhh
can someone explain "sit down busdriver" to me
im an aggie oh ohhhhhhh
GodDAMN I love college football. EASILY the best of 'em all.
A&M owned UT for most of the 80's and a good part of the 90's as well.Why is A&M 13-12 against UT in football since 1980? That's a 25 year span.
Frankly, the only reason I give a damn about any of this is because of the volume of silly smack I hear from UT "fans", the majority of whom I have found didn't even go to UT. I think any inferiority complex begins with having to latch on to the athletic program of a school that you couldn't get into.
I think its funny that aggie and longhorn fans accuse the other of certain behaviors, then do the exact same thing. For every person who claims to be a Longhorn yet didn't go to school there, I can match you with an Aggie doing the same thing. Let's clear something up....unless you actually went to UT or A&M, you are a fan, not an Aggie or Longhorn but a fan. Nothing wrong with that though. I am a Longhorn fan but I give A&M props on their sense of tradition. Things like that make college football and its rivalries special.
What I think is stupid is when OU fan does the upside down Longhorn sign...against Baylor. Apparently they think that the gesture applies to any school from Texas. I saw OU fans do it against UNT, Tech and A&M as well. At least the Aggies know the right time to do it.
I would invite anyone who cares to spring for the big $ (better if you know someone with a free ticket & sit in the student section) to go see an A&M game (vs anybody, not just a big game) at Kyle Field.
You cannot get the experience that you get from the game by watching it on TV. Even if you go in with a bad at ude, you will leave pretty impressed.
I can appreciate & I highly believe that is true SWC.
Well, if you went to/know someone who went to a really small school, you know that the coach sometimes has to drive a bus. I'm sure this was much more prevalent earlier in the century when pretty much everyone from A&M came from a small town (and everyone in Texas, for that fact).
When the opposing coach es about a call, he is reminded to keep his hands on the wheel/eyes on the road instead of turning around to chew somebody out. (Coming from someone who rode the bus 2 1/2 hrs/day, I can identify with this more.)
Do you root for high schools with which you have no association, too?
The high school/college parallel is much closer than the college/professional jig you've gone on here.
