With respect, being an Aggie is more than just about sports. I don't know who we wanted to win the game this year, but that's irrelevant to what I'm talking about. We aren't a "nation" or "fanbase," the Aggies are a family, of which all alumni will always be a part. I would be willing to bet anything that if you asked him if he were an Aggie, he wouldn't hesitate to say yes.
I'm not jealous or upset that he went to work for Mizzou. I don't blame him in fact, the amount of pull Perry has on the board is disgusting. I'm happy for him, but don't mistake his moving from Aggieland as moving on from being an Aggie.

I am not doubting or questioning his "family" or love for aTm. But this is a sports message board, and we were talking about a sporting event in which Bowden was supporting his new home. And some Aggie felt the need to say......but but but he is an Aggie.

Hey MasterAg, pssst, I'm going to let you in on a little secret:
All alums love their schools, are proud of their schools, and remain attached to them. And all schools have their little rites, traditions, and haunts that every alum - and only an alum - knows about.
I met a lot of Aggies in my military career and they were all good guys. Hard workers and team players.
However, one thing a lot of them didn't seem to understand is that reverence for one's alma mater isn't an Aggie thing. It's a school thing. I had to suffer through more than one nostalgia session when an Aggie would dreamily stare off into space, recalling the magic of midnight yell practice, Dat Nguyen, boot shining sessions, etc. It was ridiculous...
In short, stop condescending and give it a rest.
