And do you aggies honestly not understand why it could have been so much better ... so much more friendly and enjoyable, had y'all only not chosen to do this on our Statehouse grounds?

The South Carolina Chapter of Former Aggies got approval for this. While I realize that we are probably the most arrogant citizen in the US (speaking of Texans) we do show respect and hospitality. If they would have told them that the statehouse would not be okay to hold the rally we would have found another location.

We were granted permission to hold our Midnight Yell here. Don't treat us like LSU or Bama fans and think we are going to be pissing and shitting all over your statehouse. Us Texans are a proud bunch but we don't cross those kinds of lines (every group has their retards). I think this will go just fine and neither fanbase will be inconvienced and the statehouse will be standing Saturday morning.

If there is a huge protest of us being there I am sure we will simply move it elsewhere. Keep in mind there will be children attending so try to at least stay classy enough to not put them in harms way if some of your more "offended" fans do decide to get rowdy.

This is a family thing and I assure you if you go take a look at this tradition, you will see how blown out of proportion everyone is making it.

TL:DR version: The South Carolina Alum Chapter was given permission by the proper authorities to conduct our Midnight Yell at this location. If they don't have a problem with it, then why do so many others? Not like we are having a gay orgy and jazzing all over your steps and statues... (we do that in less well-lit areas of town)

I understand that the Rant is not real life, but I haven't seen much of this, at all, from your fanbase anywhere.

There's a lot of arrogance (for what reason?), and a lot of bravado about how Texas this and Texas that, and it reeks of insecurity. I don't inherently have anything against aTm as a school, or as a program. But the way some of y'all have been acting about this upcoming game, like some kind of invading army, is a little bit much.

I'm all for sharing a beer with opposing fans, and having a good time of it. There are only a few fanbases that USC fans come into contact with on a regular basis where this seems nigh-impossible, and I don't want aTm to be one of them. It was never like that with Arkansas, or Miss State (the other West "rivals"), and I don't see any real reason for the Aggs to be different. But yet, it certainly seems as if the tone has been set for a stark departure. There's been a complete lack of respect (as visitors, or even as newcomers) from the vast majority of the aTm fans with whom I've come into contact. That's disheartening.

I hope y'all aren't like this in the real world. I genuinely do. If so, this is going to be an ugly series very fast between both groups of fans.
