Way back when Texas folks were the elitists that typically were city kids that looked down on everyone. A&M had the rural kids and we were military and engineering focused. Thus the saying was that that the Texas folks were up in Austin "sipping their tea" while Aggies were out doing the real work. Thus "teasips" or "sips" evolved.
Of course now both schools are demographically far more similar but the primary cultural difference is the same. Texas is still generally a bunch of elitist assholes that think their shite doesn't stink and everyone should bow before them. Aggies are still generally tied to our roots as well.

As much grief as I give vAggies I would rather have them than Texas.

Has anyone ever been offended by being called a "teasip"? It sounds a lot better than fighting in a war.
