UT and A&M

[DawgFan91]

I would love some feedback from some alumni, but it seems to me that Aggies have a hatred for UT that isn't totally reciprocated.

I didn't attend either school, but I grew up a Longhorn fan. I never really rooted against the Aggies unless it was against UT. I have co-workers that are Aggies and they would root for OU or Miami v. Texas and I have co-workers who are UT grads and they always root for A&M against OU at least and are indifferent when A&M is playing most other teams.

Maybe the OU comparison is a bad one due to the last few meetings with UT and OU, but regardless, I'd like to hear some other opinions.

[JasperDog94]

I root for A&M when they are playing somebody out of state.

[Bulldog_12]

A lot of the trouble is in high school, people are severely divided on this subject and a lot of UT KIDS, emphasis on kids, call aggies stupid and Aggie KIDS say UT is stupid and its constant bickering. So its probably just kids.

[big daddy russ]

Heck, I want to see UT kick the crap out of all those border jumpers. I'll root for any in-state team unless they're playing Auburn.

No, what I am talking about are actual A&M grads. Ex: My boss is an Aggie and he would root for the Barry Switzer Sooners to beat the Longhorns.

[Bulldog_12]

Exactly, I really want tu to beat ou and osu and any other team, just not us. Whoop! :thumbsup: :D

I know what you're talking about and most fans of any of the Texas schools would root for the other Texas school when playing out-of-state. I do know for a fact that there are UT bleeding orange fans who will root for anyone but A&M. It goes both ways. Me? I'll root for anyone that will make Tech look better. Okay, maybe not OU...

[Bulldog_12]

Tech had a heck of a game the other night. I really dont see how TCU let that lead slip away and then lose by that much. But still , great game tech.

[LH Panther Mom]

Sorry, JD94, she's close to 70, from West Texas & that's what she grew up with.

[KTJ]

The true rival of Texas is OU. Any Longhorn will tell you that.

Do we hate Aggy? Nah, not really. We consider them the same as Tech--a team in Texas that we should beat in any and everything, all the time.

I think lately, the rivalry between Tech and Aggy has gotten really hot. I was asking my Tech freinds the other day about this same topic and they all said how they know Tech isn't at UT's level--academically or athletically right now but feel they can compete. But as far as Tech and Aggy go, they all stated how they belive Tech has surpassed Aggy and it's got A&M upset.

I found that interesting.

[AggieJohn]

Well of course tech is going to want to rival A&M

A&M and TU will always be a rivalry, the last few years Texas has been more athletic, but we were more athletic in the early nineties....It's going to swing both ways, and no matter how much they want to deny it, Texas want's to beat the crap out of A&M, they can't get over how much of a pest we are to their overall plan of dominating sports period....

Tech hates the fact that they pour so much into their athletic program and they can't get a rival in-state...they so desperately want it to be A&M because they have beat A&M once or twice in the last few years....they think they can alter it...they won't their the red headed step child of the state....

[KTJ]

Explain more "athletic" because when I hear that I am thinking in overall sports. If that's the case, Texas has always (and I do mean always) been on top of A&M.

But if you're just talking football, then yeah, I'd agree with you there. Aggy owned Texas in the early and mid 90's.
:D

[Phil C]

The only thing I would complain about both schools is that the students should better support the soccer girls program. They need to have more of them in the stands when they play because both schools have outstanding soccer teams. Aggies and Longhorns shame on you!

[AggieJohn]

i'll have you know Phil C that we are busting through previous records this year

try this link out here (http://www.aggieathletics.com/index_full.php?pageID=899&SID=WSO)

we have the top 4 all time attendances, in fact one game this year at home beats the first year's whole attendance for 1994

During the texas game they were putting people in the complex stands right next door because they couldn't fit anymore people in

What can you say its a rivarly. My take is yes A&M really loves to BTHO texas and I know it dosnt happen all the time or hasnt happened in quite a while. But I dont think that I would call it hatred.

On the other hand you dont see alot of Aggie alumni downing texas on this board but you see alot of texas supporters ragging on A&M every chance they get. That is what I really dont understand.

When I attend a new school and they find out that Im a Aggie I get the usual. yall suck! WHat really bothers me is when people give me hell and they didnt even go to texas. We allways hear Aggie jokes and people make fun of our school so my take is that we must be doing something right. I used to even give extra credit for any student that could tell a good clean Aggie joke at the beginning of class.

Yes we support our school and allways will but you want hear many of the alumni saying texas sucks or that we hate them, but you will get the occassional BTHO texas!

We were more talented in 98 also when we won the Big 12, aggies should have won the title but SLOCUM did not know what he was doing.

Once or twice? They have dominated ATM lately.

Go reread some previous threads. You will find that not all of us down A&M. I respect A&M for being a great academic school. I've got lots of Aggie friends. I enjoy going back and forth with them about which school is going to kick butt in whatever sport we're talking about at the time. But this downward Hook'em horns stuff is disrespectful and should be unacceptable when it comes to coaches and players. That's my biggest beef.

Sensitive, are we? I don't have a problem with it. Hell, I'm not even an Aggie, I just live in College Station. I still get it all the time but it's really not that big of a deal. All goes along with the rivalry. I love it. It's fun.

It's a term media-types use to describe rivalries like USC-Notre Dame, Florida State-Miami, Michigan-Ohio State (believe it or not... created because of the Big Ten) and OU-UT. Means a rivalry that wasn't big until both teams got good at the same time and started playing each other at the same time. (ND-USC in the 60's, UT-OU in the 50's, etc.) Don't get me wrong, the rivalries are real and they are heated, but if the two teams had never been in the right place at the right time that heated of a rivalry never would have been born.

I don't know if you remember this, but back in the early- and mid-nineties TAMU was the big dog, a top-ten program. Back then, UT was the borderline top-25 program (not the juggernaut) and they absolutely hated the Ags. Far more than they hated OU. They still wanted to beat OU with an extreme passion, but that bullseye was on the Aggies. Now that TAMU and UT have switched, the tables have turned with them. OU (which had been a top-15 program in the early- and mid-90's before a brief dropoff) again became a juggernaut just as Texas was regaining it's status as a juggernaut. When two juggernauts meet every year and are going for the same thing... well, you get it. They get a distaste for each other. Through it all, though, UT and TAMU will always go at each others throats. No matter if one absolutely stinks and one is great. That's what the people in the media call a "natural rivalry." One that was born, not created.

Natural rivalries include Harvard-Yale, Navy-Army, UCLA-USC, 'Bama-Auburn, Florida-FSU and (that's right) TAMU-UT. There's your brief history lesson of NCAA rivalries.

[JasperDog94]

That's a pretty accurate assessment BDR.

[KTJ]

Thanks for the lesson. Didn't know I needed it though. But if that's how you want to think then go right ahead.

aggies vs. longhorns - ya gotta love it !!!!

[Phil C]

Actually I'm a UT fan but when Aggies or TCU or Tech or Rice or any Texas School plays someone else or gets to playoffs I support them. It is just like our HS district. We fight it our but when it is settled we support whoever in our district is in the playoffs unless by chance we meet in the playoffs again of course.

You know, it's kinda like drunk Uncle of the family. You know he's going to get drunk and sound stupid. At first, you can tolerate it. But after the 10th time it starts to get old and nobody wants to hear what he has to say. That's the way I feel about Aggies and all their sayings.

[2futurecard'smom]

MY DAUGHTER IS A GRAD STUDENT AT A&M (YEAH, ALMOST DONE!) AND HER 12 YEAR OLD BROTHER WAS A DIE HARD TEXAS FAN UNTIL WE ATTENDED A BASEBALL GAME THERE WHEN THEY WERE PLAYING UT. HE WORE HIS BURNT ORANGE GARB, AND AS WE WERE WALKING UP TO THE FIELD, SEVERAL AGS WERE TAILGATING AND CALLED OUT TO HIM AS HE PASSED. TOLD HIM THAT HE WAS YOUNG, BUT AS HE GOT OLDER HE WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT IF HE LIKED BOYS HE WOULD GO TO UT BUT IF HE LIKED GIRLS HE WOULD BE AN AGGIE. FROM THAT DAY ON, HE HAS NEVER PUT ON ORANGE AGAIN, NOW RELIGIOUSLY WEARS MAROON AND SWEARS HE'LL GO TO A&M.

The same can be said when A&M calls us "t-sips" or "TU". Not only does it sound gay, but it's retarded.


(Except, I wouldn't lose sleep, not loose.)

[Phil C]

Hey 2f too bad he didn't get to talk to Chance Mock the UT quarterback. Chance said if you like pretty girls and hills then come to Texas (UT). Twoud be wise if her brother learns to get both sides of the story as Aaesoph would say. :)

Come on now. They were "tailgating" before a game. Maybe a couple of cold units in the cooler... Do you think that mom is going to stop some aggies from commenting to a 12 yr old in burnt orange? She didn't say she approved of the comment, just that it happened and has had some serious psychological effects on her son...:D :D

[JasperDog94]

True enough.

[DawgFan91]

You know I was only joking anyway, right?

[JasperDog94]

Yeah. As a parent, I would certainly have something to say to college kids yelling to/at my child.

A&M always gets mad that UT doesn't consider them their #1 rivalry. That's what the real problem is. When we say that OU is are real, #1 rival, it seems that every Ag gets upset.

Now we are yalls #1 rival, no doubt. But UT-A&M isn't the top rivalry over Texas/OU.

[2futurecard'smom]

Actually, I just thought it was a funny story when we were talking about the way Aggies and tu go at each other.................and how even kids get into the flap of things. And the Aggies were not being rude, just kidding around as we passed them. And to the one who would have said something to them about talking to a 12 year old.....................lighten up. And as far as the mental damage, I think it did much more good than it hurt, he is now an Aggie supporter! THANKS AGS!

[Phil C]

Some things drunk or not you shouldn't kid around with a 12 year old kid though. But it looks like you wanted and Aggie so you got him. He still should have got Chance Mock's view though. :)

i think the UT & OU rivalry fair as one of the top in the country. the UT & TAMU only fairs to maybe a state or division rivalry. but both games are still fun to watch. HOOK'EM HORNS.

if A&M and UT was competitive year in year out it would be bigger than UT and OU...right now OU andUT is bigger than A&M and UT, but sometimes A&M and UT is bigger

The UT Tower

The 27-story Main Building, the UT Tower, is bathed in orange-colored lights to stand as a beacon to the Longhorns’ success.

The Tower is lit Orange on top with a White shaft for:
» Regular-season victories, except Texas A&M
» Non-Bowl Championship Series (BCS) Bowl victories

The Tower is lit entirely Orange for:
» Victories over Texas A&M
» Winning the Big 12 South
» Winning the Big 12 Championship Game
» Winning the Big 12 Regular-Season Championship

The Tower is lit entirely Orange with a #1 displayed for:
» National Championship

There, now that that's out of the way. In your statement you made it sound like that Texas made it special for the numerous victories over A&M. (Not that beating A&M isn't special enough.) We have to go to all the trouble of lighting up our tower "Specifically for" a victory over A&M. That's simply not the case. We light the tower for EVERY football win. So that tower's lit up more often than not.:D

[3afan]

i grew up 60 mi. N of Austin so I was closer than to College Station ... but I was never really a Longhorn fan. The thing that I've seen/heard over the past 30+ years in watching this rivalry is (1) aTm seems to take the rivalry much more seriously than the 'Horns, and (2) aTm almost seems jealous of UT. Thats just how it looks to me.

OK, I'm now ready to take my medicine from all you Ags ....

[2futurecard'smom]

I am not sure that it's jealousy that drives the Aggies. I think it more likely is the treatment of tu fans ( when the Corp is spit on by tu fans for example) that motivates the Ags to be against the tu fans and teams. And yes, the traditions are dear to the Aggies and something that alot of people don't understand, but they are pretty awesome if you know and see them done, it's pretty amazing. And one thing I have seen is that Aggies take care of Aggies, long after the degrees are received, it's a lifelong thing.
And I am not saying all tu fans are rude and crude, I happen to be seated next to a mother at a game who graduated from tu and had a daughter who was at A&M. She was a very nice person, and we had alot of fun with her when the fight song was sang and she showed her "Hook em Horns". Just some of the tu people are a little overbearing and I am sure they say the same about the Ags. But, just my opinion, why they have to make fun of all the Aggie traditions in the way they do I don't understand. So maybe it's a little jealousy on the tu part that they aren't as close knit as the Aggie group, hmmmmmm.

Give me a break.:rolleyes: Go back a reread my posts about A&M and you'll see that my comments about the university (especially academics) are very positive.

Be careful how you label somebody based on your own obvious bias.

My biggest problem is the disrespect that EVERY Aggie is taught once they arrive on campus. Be proud of your school, but don't stoop to childish behavior and name calling. All Texas schools should be better than that.

Please don't label all aggs just because of a few. I'm at A&M, but still love to see Texas win (when its not against us).Most of us here are like that. But, I do know that there are some real serious die hards who hate everything that comes out of Austin, and that isn't good. People will see those and think that we all are like that. So Gig'em Aggies, and yes Hook'em Horns (everyone except us though :D )

[Bulldog_12]

Well, thanks. I dunno, i just love football. I do tend to favor my Aggs, but any team from Texas has my support when we aren't playing each other. Then, I will root for any team that is playing a school from Oklahoma. ANY team. But yeah, i have friends in Austin I still keep in touch with and have even talked about going to meet them and see a game.

[Bulldog_12]

Yeah, we argue about who has the greatest rivalry. I think every team in Texas has a huge rivalry with Oklahoma. We have to, they steal all of our players.

[JasperDog94]

Man, that Peterson kid is the real deal. Have you seen him run?:eek: :eek:

[3afan]

.

[Bulldog_12]

Yeah he is good. We have a real good one coming up in Darren Sproles with K-State. He is a good runner too, very slippery and dangerous.

[JasperDog94]

Sproles took Texas for 128 yards last year. But he also had El Roberson at QB that was a great running threat. I really look for you guys to pound the QB pretty good and get him rattled early to throw off his game.

[2futurecard'smom]

Actually "the typical tu fan" statement was made with tongue in cheek, but whatever..................yeah, guess you are right, that was stupid.
AND, I do root for any Texas team to win, until any Texas team plays the Aggies. And I am sure that there are alot of things that Aggie fans do that I don't know about................I was just stating my opinion on what I saw done and it still doesn't sit well with me, sorry, but the spitting thing really got to me! To each his own..................

[Bulldog_12]

Yeah, I know they aren't the team from last year, but it will still be a heck of a test for us. We have to get to that QB early on, I expect Big Red and Jolly to get back there and take care of that. I sitll worry about Sproles, hes still the same.

[2futurecard'smom]

Isn't there a couple of Jasper boys who play for A&M that are doing really well (as freshmen at that!) I want to say Jorrie Adams is from there? And Kerry Franks from WOS? Or do I have them wrong?

[Bulldog_12]

Yeah, there is Joseph Bryant, aka Big Red, and Jorie Adams. Both are playing on the defensive side of the ball right now and are doing awesome. We couldn,t be more proud of them. The coolest thing was at the Clemson game when both got in at the same time and were playing on the same side of the line together. That was really cool.

[2futurecard'smom]

Yeah, was at that game and heard a couple of older men sitting behind me talking about the two of them bringing alot to the team, just did not know "Big Red" was from Jasper also...........is he a freshmen too?

[Bulldog_12]

Yeah, both were redshirted last year so technically, they are freshmen on the football team.

[2futurecard'smom]

I have a dumb question to ask.............on the program when it has a players name and has "rs" I assume this is red-shirt.......but what is "hs" mean after a player's name?

[Bulldog_12]

Is it right after their name, or is it a little further because it might tell what high school they are from. it just depends on what it says following it if anything at all. Someone else might want to answer this one.

[onfirebball05mustang]

what other team do you know of that would do this for it's servicemen/women?

Thats just how it looks to me.

OK, I'm now ready to take my medicine from all you Ags ....
LOL. I guess I can see that, but from my personal experience it's the other way around. First off, I'm an Auburn Tiger, not an Aggie. I just happen to live in College Station and love Texas football. I'll root for any Texas team, whether it's TAMU, UT or Texas A&M-Kingsville. But in my circle of friends back home it seems like it's a two way street. My old Aggie buddies like to joke around with the tu stuff while the tu fans take genuine offense to it. I don't know why it gets their goat so much, but I love taking part in it. Gig 'em Bevo!!!

And as for the showdown idea--that was all Byrne, the Aggy AD. It was his idea.


I never said you weren't our rival. I just said you're not our top rival like Aggy thinks they are. You're about on the same level as Tech. UT's top rival is, and will always be, OU.

And no sir, we will not get beat this year by Aggy.

Russ, what does that have to do with anything?

[sahen]

im at baylor so im not in the rivalry, but in my opinion most fans that r educated football fans pull for the teams in the state when they r playing other teams just cause if the other teams win it makes their team look better....like if tech was to upset OU this weekend it'd make texas look stronger if they beat tech or A&M look stronger if they beat tech...not to mention it always makes teh state look stronger in football if all the teams from texas are routinely beating out of state teams...the peopel that root against A&M or UT no matter what r people that r not really aware of state prestige in college football so they pull against them not realizing they r making their own school look bad...

I think he was pointing out that our fight song specifically mentions A&M, not "blow-u" as you so childishly put it.

And OU is and always will be our top rival? No way. Did you grow up in Texas? Maybe it was just where I'm from, but you don't hear little kids asking each other if they are Longhorns or Sooners, it's always Longhorns or Aggies...and kids are always right, you can't argue with that.

Texas plays A&M over the Thanksgiving holidays, when most rivalry games are played, Oklahoma plays Oklahoma State. I'm not saying that OU is not UT's rival, they are, but Texas's top rival has traditionally been A&M, and always will be. Just because during the years you attend UT the football game against Oklahoma is a big event and the two teams have a heated rivalry, it doesn't change the historical fact that A&M and UT are each other's top rival.

I wonder if people going to OU nowadays don't consider Texas to be their rival anymore, maybe we're more on the level of Tech or something to them, considering how badly they have embarassed us in Dallas the past 4 years.

I've got an idea, how about us Longhorns quit obsessing over one game a year, take it week by week, and see where we end up at the end of a season. It doesn't look good against Oklahoma this year, but let's remember that there are still games to be played after October 9th.

[CHSBaseball07]

Just lettin yall know.........people like a rival that is a Competitive game.......Texas has been blowin A&M out.....so what game are the fans gonna get more hyped up about? Texas vs A&M where Texas knows they will win.....or Texas vs OU where Texas will have to play a helluva ball game to win??
You tell me but
All texas fans know that
Texas vs. OU is a much bigger rival than Texas vs. texas a&m

[3afan]

maybe to UT fans but not to aTm fans - they could go 1-10 & if they beat Texas they'd be happy

[CHSBaseball07]

Thats perty stupid if you ask me.......... we could win the National Championship.....and somehow lose to A&m during the season 65-0 and be happy as you know what

[Chupacabra]

UT vs. OU is a bigger game this year for the Longhorns, and the past few years, I don't think many people will argue against that...but to say that Oklahoma is now Texas's top rival is overboard.

Rivalries are not made overnight...and historically UT and A&M have been bigger rivals than any other opponent of the two schools, the fact that one team may be better for a stretch of a few years does not end a rivalry.


The fact that both A&M's and UT's respective fight songs specifically mention beating the other team should make it obvious where the rivalry lies.

Yes I did grow up in Texas. Where did you grow up?

How about you come on campus right now and go around asking any Longhorn who our top rival is and who they'd like to beat more--OU or A&M. I guarantee you, you'd have a lot more OU responses than A&M.

Did you even go to The University? If you did, and if you knew the slightest about football on the college level, you'd know that until we beat Stoops & Co., we will a.) not the get respect we deserve b.) not win the big 12 c.) keep losing recruits to OU. (Theoretically, we can still lose to blow-u and go to a BCS bowl--see last year.)

Sure, I agree there are other games besides the one that is on October 9. But you do realize that the rest of the season starts and ends with 10/9, right? Looking at OU as "just another game" is the wrong way. Bob Stoops was quoted last year (or 2 years ago) saying that he and his team will never "look at Texas as just another game." He went on to say that his team knows how big this rivalry is and always hypes itself up for the weekend. Even OU players have stated that UT is their main rival and not OSU like many think.

And when you call me a "tool" at the end of your post, it makes me second your credibility and forces me to call you a hypocrite. You called me childish for saying "blow-u" yet you end your post with "tool". Now, who's the childish one again?

And I still don't see the point in A&M getting upset because UT doesn't claim them as their "biggest rival."

Of course you want to beat OU more. They OWN you. I'd want to beat Buffalo if they owned my team. Of course that's going to be the response because it is the more heated of the two rivals. That doesn't necessarily mean it's the bigger of the two rivals. TAMU and UT go back more than twice as far as UT/OU. Instead of asking kids on campus (who have only been there for the four or five years the Sooners have been dominant), why don't we ask some alums which rivalry goes beyond the records. Which game would be the biggest if the chips were down for all the teams and everyone went into their games winless.

As evident of the alumui at every home game (and away) I've been to the last few years, the answer to your question is still OU.

KTJ- I guess you're right. I go to school now and after talking to some people the all seem to agree that OU is a bigger rival. I don' t know, I guess I'm the only one who thinks otherwise. Man i hate this school.

[Bulldog_12]

Ok, first of all, CHS when you graduate and get into a college and know about all of the rivalries and traditions, then you can come back here and post. And really, it has always been Texas and A&M. Even THE Coach, Lee Corso says it every Thanksgiving. That this is one of the best rivalries in college football. Its a lot longer and has a lot more history behind it than Texas and OU has. And if you wanna talk about getting stomped makes it not a rivalry, look at the OU and Texas scores from the past few years. But thats my opinion.

i wish i was, one year aniversary with the girl, she'd kill me if i took her to fball game on that day

[bullfrog_alumni_02]

i think im gonna have to say that UT/OU is the bigger rivalry than UT/TAMU (which has lost some of its steam over the years) because its more heated. the battle of the Texas schools is always big, but thats only state wide not national. more people from outside the two states get in on this one. this game, the Red River Shoot Out, is a huge blood thirsty battle. so IMHO, it is the bigger rivalry, despite the fact that its younger than the UT/A&M rivalry.

[Phil C]

I don't really understand the big rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma. All it proves is which team has the best Texans. :D

[Phil C]

This is based on an old aggie joke told to me by (guess what?) an aggie! Regarding Heissman what Jasper probably means is what have you done for me lately? {a little humor there! :)}

[Phil C]

John David Crow the great Texas A&M running back won the Heisman Trophy in 1957 which was Coach Bear Bryant's last year at Texas A&M. A humorous story is that since Crow was a freshman at A&M in 1954 he didn't go to Junction with the rest of the team. He saw two full bus loads leave but only one bus and even that wasn't full came back. When he saw them get back he is supposed to have asked "Where the _____ did everybody go?!" A great story even if it isn't true but that makes legends.

[handNthedirt]

I don't find any humor in his dumba** comments. He needs to put the bong down and read up and learn the facts on whatever discussion he chooses to get in on.

[Bulldog_12]

Ag04, don't make the rest of us Aggies look bad by getting on here and being such a smart alec person and getting on everyone's case. Don't make the rest of us look bad because you have an inferiority complex. Thanks and Gig'em!

No inferiority complex here.....people just need to know the facts. I do....I was there! If anything I was only defending Ags! And I am not getting on everyone's case.

[2futurecard'smom]

Bulldog 12, I can promise you Ag04 doesn't have any kind of complex, and I doubt seriously any true Aggies would think she made them look bad.............in fact maybe some of the people that work for Ag04 in the new athletic office would like to give their opinion. But, looks like you ride the fence with your buds from Jasper most of the time anyway which is fine but don't accuse anyone of making someone look bad because they post an opinion...................your buddies sure post enough of theirs.

[Bulldog_12]

Ok, how do I ride the fence? give me an example. All I said is I root for ALL Texas teams as long as they aren't playing us. I always support the aggies through thick and thin, but I also support UT when they play other people as well as tech, TCU, SFA, etc. etc. But if you wanna call ME out on having a complex go right ahead. Because if supporting everyone is considered fence riding and bad, then lock me up for life.

[Panther Ross]

I know this may be a little off topic, but can anybody tell me the final score of BC vs. Jasper.

[2futurecard'smom]

Panther, the score was Jasper 34 Bridge City 10. Jasper is very strong and well coached from what I saw Friday Night!

[2futurecard'smom]

And to BD 12.....................if you will go back and read what you posted earlier, you were the one that said someone had a complex, and you are not the typical Aggie fan (they don't take too lightly to being bad-mouthed) and it seems like you can dish out the comments but not take them very well. And you were very quick to defend your tu buds and then call a fellow Aggie a smart alec....................but there are Aggies and some that wish they were.................................WHOOP!

[Bulldog_12]

Yes, but if you read earlier I was defending traditions and the rivalry we have with UT. Why be against everyone when we aren't playing each other? Does being a die hard aggie mean we have to hate UT all of the time? And Im quick to defend my UT buds because I am a loyal friend, which I might remind you is something Aggies sstand for, loyalty. I can take any comment you thro at me and not lose one wink of sleep over this. And even if I did, that would contradict yourself. You said Aggies don't take too lightly of being bad mouthed, but you also said that I am not a true Aggie. So, Ill get to the point, If I get mad about you commenting about me, then that truly does make me an Aggie by YOUR standards. So Thanks and Gig'em!

[2futurecard'smom]

You are very welcome. And you said that not me about not rooting for other Texas teams. I have not been rude about any school......................at least I don't think I have. And the comment you made to Ag04 about having a complex and making all Aggies look bad is the only problem I have with what you have said........................as that is my daughter and she was replying to someone who made a smart remark about her little brother so this is beating a dead horse....................just don't see how you think she has a complex or is a smart alec commentator. Your comment just struck a nerve is all. And I, like you, have alot of good friends who are die hard Texas fans and we have a lot of fun with it, but they aren't rude and obnoxious about A&M like some people who post here. It takes all kinds I reckon.

[Bulldog_12]

The way I read it was that she was being smart about UT. And i felt that there didn't need to be any more hostility between the two groups anymore on here. You know it would end up people getting mad at each other and people getting rommed left and right, oh wait, that happened on another board. Sorry, guess I have been sat down. Thanks for explaining. Gig'em!

[big daddy russ]

KTJ, just going to say that I didn't realize the students and alums sat next to each other. :rolleyes:

I don't know if I'll be able to make it, but I'm going to try. My girlfriend's a student here so maybe she can score some tix. If we go, I'd love to give you hell about your team before the game.:D :D :D

as in john david crow....Crow played under legendary coach Paul "Bear" Bryant at A&M and in 1957 became the only Aggie to win the Heisman Trophy as well as the only Heisman winner to play for Coach Bryant. Crow played 11 years in the NFL with the Chicago Cardinals, St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers and was a four-time Pro Bowl selection. After retiring as a player, Crow coached under Bryant at Alabama and served as head coach and athletic director at Northeast Louisiana. In addition, he was an assistant coach with the Cleveland Browns and San Diego Chargers. Crow went on to serve as Texas A&M Athletic Director and, most recently, as Director of Athletic Development. He is credited with moving A&M to the forefront of collegiate athletics, especially in the area of gender equity.

as in john david crow....Crow played under legendary coach Paul "Bear" Bryant at A&M and in 1957 became the only Aggie to win the Heisman Trophy as well as the only Heisman winner to play for Coach Bryant. Crow played 11 years in the NFL with the Chicago Cardinals, St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers and was a four-time Pro Bowl selection. After retiring as a player, Crow coached under Bryant at Alabama and served as head coach and athletic director at Northeast Louisiana. In addition, he was an assistant coach with the Cleveland Browns and San Diego Chargers. Crow went on to serve as Texas A&M Athletic Director and, most recently, as Director of Athletic Development. He is credited with moving A&M to the forefront of collegiate athletics, especially in the area of gender equity.
