As an Aggie I would like to think I am a pro at little bro-ness. But something I can't figure out is where is the line when a little bro becomes a big bro? Does it exist?

Clemson and USC are a clear example. When I was born Clemson EASILY was the big bro. Easy. They had a recent national title, national respect, and USC was dogshit. But since then the SEC has lifted USC to the point where it might not SEEM like a little bro. Until you look at the numbers:

quote:

Clemson – (I do not have 2014 figures, this is 2013) football ticket sales, $20 million; football contributions, $25.8 million.

South Carolina – football ticket sales, $18.9 million; football contributions, $13.9 million.


LINK

Almost twice the football contributions. That seems very little bro to me. Aren't they?

Will hang up and listen.

I am half certain you are mostly illiterate.

Plus I reject your insult, no University can little bro on the scale that A&M can. We are the greatest at little broing all time. There is no use trying to find a comparison base.

We don't act little bro though.

They have a coach who whines about our coach
They put up a countdown clock to our game in February after we beat them for the 5th time in a row
They vandalize our field and tailgating areas
Their perception is to be better than South Carolina, not win their division or compete for a title.

Besides FSU, we are their only other entertaining game. The entire ACC is weaker than the SEC East minus FSU.

Bigger school
More alum
More merchandise sales
State's university

And although Clemson does have a noticeable advantage in football history. It as not as wide as yours.

Sorry.

I don't care

You aren't telling me anything I don't know. Where does this delusion come from that we don't know we sucked for most of our history?

Not today because yall are at a historical high point. I bet yall did like 20 years ago though. I know yall have an army of retarded nicknames for them (taters?).

Texas has a coach who wants to go around his boss and play us, Texas mentions us in their fight song, Texas has fans who hate us more than they like Texas, etc. and yet NO ONE really thinks that we aren't Texas's little bro.

Fans are fans, and coaches are hired guns. All of that is temporary.

All time records, decade old nicknames, those are the things that stand the test of time. And on those metrics USC is the little bro.

It doesn't really matter, it doesn't change who wins or loses next year.

I just noticed that some USC fans have an INCREDIBLY inflated opinion of their program that can make an Aggie (a frickING AGGIE!) blush, and so I wanted to examine the psychology of it a little more. The little broness is a part of that for sure.

I know it is a shock to the SEC Rant, but we actually know we traditionally suck and accept it...unlike other fanbases here.
