So can we not assume Bevo came before the war hymn?
Sure, but maybe it wasn't widely known or accepted yet. I wasn't like they had sports radio like we do today.

Well I'm glad to know that Mr. Decision Maker. I for one want it to change. It's not tradition anymore, it's just outdated. Change is not easy, but not impossible either.

Speaking of butthurt coming out of Austin. This Taylor Swift we are never ever getting back together parody is classic.
But you guys are right. They don't care about us. So much anal leakage coming out of Austin.

Hey old buddy, I never said that Texas doesn't care about A&M. I said many other things, mainly trolling, but not that. Cool stuff though.

My bad I clicked on the wrong piggie. Meant to click on bpfergu and also meant for other ignorant people such as HoustonGumbeauxGuy. Video cracked me up.

No big deal, video was good.

They will begin caring soon enough as A&M starts taking their fair share of 5* recruits from Texas.

Me too.
This whole Texas/A&M thing reminds me of when two of my wife's friends got divorced. They would go on and on about how they were over the other. Personally I couldn't stand either one of them and was glad when the wife just stopped talking to both of them.

This sentiment confuses me greatly.
Aggies are primarily in 2 camps 1) Those who don't give a frick if we ever play Texas again and 2) Those who think the rivalry is good and could make an great OOC game and would like to see it continue.
So right there we would acknowledge that there is a large portion of the fan base that isn't "over" Texas.
But at the same time it seems to me that most Ags don't even bring up Texas unless we are prompted to do so such as in this thread. I mean did you really think that someone would post an article about our War Hymn which references Texas and not have Texas brought up?
On the flip side we have Mack Brown trying to convince everyone he is an SEC team at the beginning of the year.
We have Longhorn student making retarded pop videos.
Longhorn fans trolling on the SECr.
And constant discussion of A&M on Longhorn message boards.
So who is the creepy ex-girlfriend claiming she is over us?

I am going to have to quit trolling you guys as much. I really think A&M is a fine place with fine traditions and lots of god damn diversity. Get a Waffle House and this mess can be settled.
Dammit man, don't break character.

There is no question that A&M is a cult and the Corps especially. Hearing Aggies argue about traditions sometimes resembles two Biblical scholars arguing about the meaning of the Ten Commandments. We take some things WAY too seriously. I mean when the Zone was built at A&M there was a huge uproar because the design no longer had a tunnel so that the graves of the Reveille's could see the scoreboard. Folks got incredibly worked up about this because of the "tradition" that was really just started as a coincidence that there was a space 50 years before they could put the graves at that happened to be in sight of the old scoreboard. In the end they put up a special scoreboard that is there for the dead dogs. To an Aggie that's awesome, to many outsiders that is just BSC. The other issue is most of the traditions have evolved many times over the years and there is a saying at A&M that "Once you do something twice, it is a tradition!"
When we redo Kyle, even though the Zone will likely remain untouched, we need to upgrade the scoreboard for the Revielles. It is a high school basketball gym scoreboard. Not good enough. At all.

fricking this. There better be a sick jumbotron replay board for them out there complete with it's own Sodolak's ads. frick it, put ribbon boards around the damn thing too. The old school Daktronics scoreboard for the Reveilles is more embarrassing than the bat shite IMO
