So I know we've covered most of the weird aTm "traditions" on here (e.g. jizz jars, male spooning, etc)

But today I found out about one that I think may have slipped through the cracks, apparently y'all don't use the term alumnus? apparently the preferred nomenclature is just "former student"

Can any aggies give a little background info?

Same reason I refer to myself as a former active duty Marine. Once a Marine always a Marine.

Once an Aggie always an Aggie.

Just a thing.

They really don't belong in the SEC. They're a cult. The guy who did the HBP Scientology documentary is working on one of them as we speak.

This has been a long and cherished Aggie tradition.

I've got a couple of solid Aggie bro's and they all think the traditions are pretty frickin gay.

They mainly went there because its a good school and there is a shitload of girls there.

And they didn't get into UT.

Given the significant inbreeding in Alabama, the numerous ways "Auburn Family" applies to y'all always cracked me up.

I'll go you one further w that term. Anyone who simply attended TAMU can dickride the Former Student title. You don't have to be " '96' " suffixed douche (or insert grad date).

They howl at "sidewalk" or "tshirt" but nary a blink is given to that nugget.

How is "Former Student" weird?
And why would anyone else care?
Not trying to be confrontational, but file this one under so what?

See, OP?

Many an Aggy reply and they can't dispute my post.

The next time you see an Ag laugh at a tshirt fan, just roll your eyes and laugh at them. And man, do they love to t-bag Whorn over the same damn thing.

It is truly the most outdated and bizarre school in the SEC. Perhaps anywhere.

As if yell leaders and bonfires aren't strange enough...they have all these little quirks.

Hint...if you're the ONLY school doing it, it might not be real cool.

Just seems a little pointless to me.


What other words have y'all decided weren't good enough for you?

That's one philosophy.
Or ... if you're doing the same thing as every single other cat on the block, good for you?
