TAMU dude on my porch

Very odd.
I'm sitting with the baby on the sofa, wife is doing dishes. She sees a guy walk up to the porch, before he even knocks, she goes and walks out there to the porch to see what he wants.
"Hi, I'm so-and-so, a recent grad from TAMU, Go Aggies! And I'm here on an internship talking to parents of kids from high school age on down to little babies. HAven't you heard of me?"
"... um no..."
"Not even on facebook or twitter?"
"um... no..."
"So we're talking to parents [at this point he has heard the baby make loud baby sounds] .... is this your only child?"
"... hang on a minute"
Wife walks in, takes baby, asks me to go deal with this. I hadn't heard the previous conversation at this point.
I walk out there, it's a young 20's ish pasty white kid, Fred Savage looking, decked out in TAMU gear, holding a bunch of colorful materals/brochures or some shite.
"We're not interested."
"Oh, well, I'm just showing the....."
"We're not interested."
And I shut the door in his face, keeping eye contact, and latched the door while staring him down.
I hate to be a dick..... and I've done some door to door sales in my life, and I know it's hard, but I also know that door to door sales requires thick skin and people are going to treat you like shite.
TAMU needs to help find better jobs for their grads than going door to door in ATHENS GA selling WHATEVER the frick he was selling, still never figured that out.

Did he have a foreign accent? I had a dude come by that was a UT grad from Africa once selling children's curriculum.

Nope, total normal American white kid. Which is also why he's still alive.

Your short story game is weak and full of holes 
No Aggie would ever say this

When I first saw him, I assumed it was some kind of cover story. All of his AnM gear was too crisp and new looking, it was a little over the top.
And whether he said "go Aggies" I'm not sure... that part of the conversation was to my wife, I didn't hear that part. She said he said "go whatever" so I'm just assuming he said Go Aggies. I suppose he said whatever it is that aggies say.
ETA- I assure you this story is 100% true, and yes it is bizarre, which is why I made a topic about it.

That's mildly if not overtly racist.

Oh yeah. That's the code word we give for when we've fricked your wives on the sly.

I asked wifey again, she confirmed he didn't say Go Aggies, she said it was something else weird, but doesn't remember. She thinks Bruins but that doesn't make any sense.
Shes not a sports person.

Holy crap, you're right

Tl;Dr version: Aggies are weird

Fair enough
Yeah, this guy was most definitely a poser that just grabbed whatever school's gear was nearest to him when he decided to try and hoodwink people. Even for the "2%" grads of TAMU, there's a very specific jargon we favor (see: "2%"
). Also pretty easy to remember even if you're not a sports person. This guy was a creeper
