[onfirebball05mustang]

it shouldn't matter what 'side' any of us are on...in any sport...this forum was designed for hs...jason i'm hurt!:(

[Ranger Mom]

I'm not going to respond to this. I think this is just a poll to "fan the flames" of an already worn out, petty, childish, immature, playground level argument!!

[onfirebball05mustang]

true mom, very true! i can't believe i'm involved...it's the little things that kill me!:rolleyes:

How about kissing your "girlfriend" after you team scores or standing up the whole at Kyle Field.

[onfirebball05mustang]

that's tradition, yes
Kissing your girl...that's been around for god knows how long...not outa disrespect for y'all, but for tradition's sake...
Standing up the whole game, another aggie tradition... it's in support of our team....we wont give up, back up, shut up, or (n this case) sit down
it's a support thing
(i can't believe i'm defending the aggies....i'm neutral!!!! argh...where's explayer when ya need him....wait....i didn't wanna go there:mad: )

[JasperDog94]

You left out "teasips".

actually, the standing up part deals with the 12th man, each aggie fan is standing to show they are ready to go into the game if they need to.

[CHS_CG]

hey traditions are traditions man......

[Hagamanp]

Stupid traditions? Tradition is what makes a school great and the Aggie spirit is the best around. The atmosphere at an Aggie sporting event is the best ever especially football and baseball.

(although he did remove it) J-Dog, Aggiebob's signature is of the "Beat the hell out of (insert team here)" yell that the students do during the games. They do those little symbols before the yells (I have no idea what they're called) and it lets them know which yell they're going to do. I don't remember explayer's old avatar, but let me know what it was.

[handNthedirt]

Midnight yell, Fightin' Texas Aggie Band, Yell leaders, the Bonfires of old, no hat's in Memorial, , Core, Core throwing Yell Leaders into the fountain after the game, , Kissing of the girlfriend, no walking on the grass, marching into Kyle field with the band, just to name a few.....what does TU have as far as traditions? Kissing your boyfriend, stepping over the bums on the drag while selling your books so you can afford your hippie lettuce...I know where I'd rather be. GIG 'EM AGS!!!!

I've tried to be civil. But "some" of you would rather show your ignorance. Remember: It's best to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool that to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

[CHS_CG]

dont forget the Elephant Walk, and Aggie Ring dunking. and the longhorns horns falling off so along with the war hymn.. "saw varstiy's horns off" Traditions are traditions... traditions are what bring people together and aggies are no exception!

Nobody is really tryin to take that away from UT ok... Aggies have great traditions and if yall think they are stupid... then why are you even postin to this thread? or why even have this thread... Callin somebodys traditions stupid offends a lot of people.

[onfirebball05mustang]

hooah!

Kinda makes you think of the HIGH SCHOOL traditions....if we go this nuts over college, what about those getting ready to go...:thinking:

Callin somebodys traditions stupid offends a lot of people. So, I can't say that I think that when A&M reverses UT's letters that I think it's stupid? Or that when Aggies call us "teasips" that I feel it's stupid? When your traditions revolve around making fun of another school, then they probably ARE stupid. Be proud of your school, but don't let your pride come from trying to put others down. That's a lesson my wife teaches her kindergarden class.

Funny...A&M has the same! Not to mention engineers, vets, architects....

[KTJ]

The aggies have been a little more respectful of the UT fans..

You're kidding right? Have you been reading this board the last several months?!

EDIT--There have been a few (emphasis on a few...definitely not all of them) nice Aggies on here that have been respectful towards me and other Longhorns. They know who they are. :D

[CHS_CG]

You are impossible to try and talk to... but one more thing.. why dont you tell me why.. the elephant walk, ring dunking, yell practice, yell leaders, bonfire, kissin your gf when A&M scores, the word Whoop, the Corp.. tell me why all of those and many more more are stupid??? I bet you cant! and tell ur wife I am glad she teaches lil kids.. maybe she should teach her husband how to be respectful too.

[JasperDog94]

I have nothing against longhorns.. but I am an aggie.. I understand Longhorns think some of the things aggies do isnt nice or respectful but I dont like it when somebody calls our traditions stupid... im sorry. Now there are a few aggies that give us a bad Rep.. but they can be worked on! Just like there are a lot of Longhorns I have met that give UT a bad name... and I am not talkin about on this forum

[CHS_CG]

Jason have you ever been to Yell practice or taken part in any aggie tradition...

[jason]

thank god no

[CHS_CG]

Then shut up.. bc you dont know anything about aggies untill you have taken part in one of our traditions.. if you think they are stupid thats your opinion.. great.. I am done with this thread!

bc you dont know anything about aggies ah, but i do...i know plenty from the ones that represent a&m on this board....

Top World Universities - Texas # 40 (http://ed.sjtu.edu.cn/rank/2004/top500(1-100).htm)

US News University Rankings - Texas # 47 (http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/natudoc/tier1/t1natudoc_brief.php)

Top Engineering Schools - UT 10 - A&M 14 (http://www.graduateshotline.com/ranks/index.html)

Top MBA Schools - Texas 18 (http://www.graduateshotline.com/bizz/index.html)

I'm not taking anything away from A&M. A&M is a fine school. I'm just saying that traditionally Texas has a strong showing nationally. Especially being a public institution.

[Bulldog_12]

This is definately a step too far. You are criticizing traditions and calling them stupid. If you dont like em, oh well, ya dont go here so you dont have to deal with them. I have been very silent in this fight, but when you call the traditions, something that makes this school what it is, I have to get involved. Im sick of all this bashing of each other. THEY ARE JUST SPORTS! Why let this stuff turn us to bashing each other's schools. Both have fine education and faculty and both have their own set of traditions. Chill with the bashing of schools! THATS MY FINAL WORD ON THESE POSTS. Stop disrespecting two of the finest schools in the nation.:mad:

[AggieBob]

geez guys didnt know my sig bothered yall that much...I hope none of yall come to the game because every single Ag there will be doing that at one time or another(yes even the children):rolleyes:

[JasperDog94]

And you wonder why some folks have a problem with certain aggie traditions? Teaching kids to disrepect another university isn't a tradition. That's classless. Yell practice...go for it. Bonfire...while unsafe, go for it. Ring dunking...I couldn't care less....go for it.

Let the pride for your school be just that...pride for your school. Don't let your pride come from putting another school down, because that's not pride.

[Olddawgfan]

Easy people, just relax. It is obvious that Jason is a "want to be Aggie", you know someone that could not get in so he rags on them. It is a classic defense mechanism. A lot of little boys that do not make the football team will resort to talking about how stupid the sport is!

that's awesome....that's awesome....

oh and jason will try to discredit my character and bring it up in every sort of way, ignore him and his smilies, i'm sure everyone else has committed some sort of thing wrong in their life, ignore his constant badgering to bring up my wrong

"after they've boosted all the rest, they will come and join the best"

This thread is done, it's pointless.....you can argue til the cows come home and it's not gonna matter.

I am tired of this little "game"! It is cluttering up my mailbox wth reported posts, that I HAVE to address...so it is NOW closed!
