i thought the aggies hated (the 'horns) too- who knew there was deep seeded love there?
I spent three years in Austin working on a second degree immediately after finishing at TAMU. The Aggies won all three games ... two of them in Austin. Those were fun times.

The cool thing for Aggies to do now is act like they aren't rivals with Texas. It's kind of pathetic ....
In candor, the attitude you are describing is found mostly in the youngsters.

What did (your t-sip dad) think of you becoming an aggie?
My family ranches for a living and has done so for more than a century. The agricultural economy was down at the time, and TAMU offered me a free ride on a package of academic scholarships (so long as I kept the grades up). The 'sips offered about half as much money. Easy choice, given that I was looking at seven years of school.

well that's cool. not farmers but my family is also in the agri business in a way and i know well enough that farmer/rancher types are hardworking and far more intelligent that some folks like to give them credit for.

The stories get more and more stretched the older they get. I have friends who played football in high school and college and have payed close attention to their tales over the years. It's like sitting around a cult of fishermen trying to outdo one another with fishing stories.
...especially the ones involving UTexas.

In fact, four of his teammates were in town for my Mom's funeral recently, and their drunken remembrances were pretty consistent as well!

The Texas Longhorns bring out the "best/worst" in our fanbase. When they came up to Fayetteville in '04, I'd never seen such profanity and hatred directed at a fanbase. We obviously get a lot of opposing team fans in town, but they're usually treated pretty well in my experience.
With Texas, crowds of people were literally yelling, "frick TEXAS" to Texas fans walking down the street. Cars would drive by and people would roll down their windows, flip the Texas fans the bird, and yell, "frick TEXAS!" It wasn't just young college kids either. Like, little old ladies and such were getting in on the action.
I actually felt kind of bad.

I do not doubt it. What good would it do for any of them to rock the boat?

Now I've witnessed this kind of thing outside a stadium immediately before and after games. This has happened. LSU fans have perfected it into an art.
It's the stories like a Longhorn vehicle bearing horns across the hood, each passenger giving the finger and 'hook 'em horns" to a busload of Razorback fans that I've heard on different occasions where I know it's a lie. Story goes something like this:
"A buddy in the back of our Razorback bus was just drunk enough to release the bus latrine on the convertible Caddie bearing hood longhorns with the top down. There was so much shite on them and the windshield of that big ol' Caddie that they they had to pull off the road."
The story remains somewhat consistent but the year, game, and participants change.

We aren't rivals with UTx Austin. Sorry.

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. ;)

What the frick have the Aggies accomplished in the SEC? Seriously, what the frick are you referring to?
By the time we had been in the SEC as long as A&M, we had a natty in basketball.
We were in Atlanta in year 3.
