Is it true or false that you made up a nonsensical nickname to try and down Texas?
False. As the saying goes, Aggies went off to fight wars while texas students sat at home and "sipped tea." Hence, "t-sips." And consider this:
Texas' fight song, "Texas Fight," is a direct response to an old Aggie song "Farmers Fight." Oh, and they set that song to "Taps" to mock A&M's military background.
Their "hook 'em" handsign is a response to ours (we were the first to have such a signal in the old SWC).
They attempted (and failed) to build a bonfire in response to A&M--they settled for a "hex rally" instead.
I'm sorry, who were you saying has "little brother" syndrome?
